Broken Matrix? D?j? vu? Heartburn?
As Mitt Romney detracts?his intention to lose the presidential elections once more, and just a day or two after his Mormon Church came out of the closet as supportive of the LGBT anti-discrimination legislation, we are all mourning a Palin-Romney debate that will never come.
Much to Romney’s chagrin, not only has no one thought this was a coincidence, but no one took him seriously, either.
Because, really.
While addressing House Democrats in Philadelphia last Thursday, President Obama mentioned Romney as the ?former presidential candidate? who was ?suddenly deeply concerned about poverty.?
“Well, that’s great! Let’s do something about it,”?the President teased, according to White House reporters.
Upon hearing about it, Romney took to Twitter:
President Obama also made one of his feature comments regarding hearing a Republican senator he did not name say:
?I am suddenly shocked, shocked, that the 1 percent is doing so much better than the vast majority of Americans.?
I wasn’t there but I am ready to bet the President was wearing one of his beautiful ties and his trademark charming smirk when he delivered the final blow:
?I consider imitation the highest form of flattery.?
It seems Mitt Romney was under the impression he could spend the last three?years licking his wounds inside one of his car elevators and a few months before the election announce his sudden deep concern about Americans’ well-being.
His glassy-look astonishment regarding how mundane people can survive without three drivers, two housekeepers, and a streaming supply of fresh flowers for the foyer is as convincing as his speech at the closing banquet of the RNC gathering in southern California.
?I believe in the post-Obama era we need to stand for safety, and for opportunity for all people, and we have to stand for helping lift people out of poverty,? Romney told hundreds of Republican National Committee members and their guests at a dinner aboard the aircraft carrier Midway, berthed in San Diego Harbor.
Typical Mitt Romney – citing income inequality and the ?scourge of poverty??over a dinner menu worth the average American’s mortgage payment and forgetting to mention Wall Street deregulation and recession.
During the gathering, the Republican Party announced efforts to condense its nomination process, trying to avoid a recurrence of 2012. Many Republicans believe Romney was critically damaged during that year’s primaries by almost two dozen debates and a lengthy selection process.
Two weeks ago, the GOP also announced that the Republican nominating convention would take place in July 2016, more than a month earlier than years past. It also announced only nine sanctioned debates ? less than half the number of last time ? with the warning that candidates who participate in unofficial debates would be barred from participating in RNC forums.
Someone in Right Wing country caught on to the pitfalls of letting their contenders loose, so the scheme now is to minimize exposure of the GOP contenders so voters will only have a controlled glimpse of who they really are and what they genuinely stand for?
Because, really.
