Booman wrote a piece late Thursday called Romney Has Imploded.
Yup.
Yes he has.
And here’s the really good part.
A search of Google News at around 10AM EDT Friday, 7/27/12 for <Romney + Olympics> over the previous 24 hours yielded “About 35,500 results.” All of them bad, and not all of them from the usual pro-DemRat suspects.
Fox News.
Businessweek.
The Salt Lake Tribune (!!!Mormon country¡¡¡).
The Associated Press.
The Anchorage Daily News.
Even the National Review is on the story, forced to use the “But he was right!” talking point defense. And so much more. The Obama campaign could not have bought this kind of airtime for attack ads even if they used 5 times the amount of money that they currently have available.
Many people have asked me to explain exactly how I see that the is fix in. Romney and the current Ratpublican party are the fix. Incompetence on every level is a fix. The Palinization of the RatPubs is a fix. After the media made damned sure that Ron Paul would not get the nomination, they just let the Rats hang themselves by the own retards…errr, ahhh…petards.
How is the fix working?
Brilliantly, thank you very much.
Brilliantly.
The vast, clomp comp clomping middle of Zombie America…including many, many habitual voters who would have voted for Romney but now will either not vote or reluctantly pull the lever for O’Bomber…cannot avoid seeing, hearing and smelling this stink. This happened at just the right moment. It will be in the media all weekend, just as the Super Duper, Hottest Thing Ever Olympics hits the hypewaves. As Palin’s various stumbles helped to sink McCain, this sort of shit…this Olympic thing, the dog on the roof, the noxious history of Romney’s Bain corporation, what will inevitably come out about his taxes and hidden wealth at the opportune moment…is “the fix.”
Bet on it.
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
And bet on this as well.
You asked for it; you got it.
Four more years of a “kinder, gentler” economic imperialism.
Slicker.
More efficient.
And even more deadly.
You asked for it; you got it.
Next time…if there is a next time…be more careful what you wish for.
As Walt Disney so profitably explained…wishes do come true.
We in DizzyWorld now, Marfa!!! Ain’t it grand!!!???
FDR: “A chicken in every pot.”
Yup.
Obama: “Pot in every chick and rooster!”
What?
You think this “legalization of marijuana” thing that’s building is in any way altruistic? Hell no!!! For Every Dizzy Gillespie or George Carlin-level genius for whom marijuana is a mind-opener there are 20 million dumbass motherfuckers who will follow any order given to them if there’s a Twinkie or two hanging on the end of the string.
“Ain’t it grand!!!???”
Sho’ is.
Watch.
Later…

Tipped for your hard work. You are probably right about the media and Ron Paul. They stabbed Howard Dean too after he foolishly came out against media consolidation. Dean yelling,”Yeehah!” to his followers is nothing against the bloopers McCain and Romney have made.
Thank you.
And yes, Howard Dean got an earlier version of the Ron Paul treatment. They do not want to see an anti-war candidate, no matter which war it may be. They used to just kill ’em. Now it’s death by media….so much less messy, don’tcha know. Dean was a little harder to lampoon because he wasn’t as radical, as old or as downright crotchety as was Ron Paul. They ran the same game on Ross Perot, although I must admit he was a fairly easy target. Anyone of national prominence who does not toe the permaGov line(s) is one way or another unpersoned by the media. Lookit what happened to Nixon. The media can actually take down a sitting president.
And…Romney is getting the Palin treatment. That’s a different act. Once two “acceptable” candidates have been chosen, the one who is supposed to lose is treated to the kind of coverage that I sketched out above. It’s a fix, Voice. Pure and simple. And it’s a win/win situation for the permaGov. If the fix works they have their frontman, in this case one who as an incumbent has actually been exceedingly good at the frontman job. If the fix doesn’t work…every once in a while in the fight game a designated loser throws a lucky punch or a designated winner makes a mistake and sprains his ankle or something…they have a new frontman who is eminently controllable. In the fight world they simply do not allow a “designated loser” who is not completely trustworthy…trusted to not mess up the fix on purpose and also trusted not to break any rules if the fix fails…to compete for the championship. Many have been the great fighters who comlained that they “could not get their shot” at the title. Why? They didn’t play by mob rules. The permaGov? It’s just a much more powerful mob. Bet on it. A mob with nukes. UH oh!!! As above, so below.
And the farce continues.
Or is it a tragedy?
One way or another, there’s nothing new here.
Move along, folks, move along. Business as usual.
Police business, mob business, permaGov business…it’s just a matter of degree.
Bet on it.
This post got very little attention. I am beginning to consider that a sign of success on this blog. Most of the people here are actually watching a form of sports. They are rooters and not much more. They live for their team.
“Yay, Dems!!!”
They do not want to hear about any fixes. It’ll spoil their fun, especially when it’s their team’s turn to win.
“Yay, Dems!!!”
So it goes.
My hard work?
I do keep trying.
Maybe the historians will figure it out, I don’t know. Nothing much appears likely to change here until some sort of societal collapse happens, and I have no desire to see that up close and personal. None whatsoever.
So it goes.
Later…
