RHINOs in Wonderland
PJ Media ^ | August 7, 2013 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 08/07/2013 1:50:18 PM PDT by upbeat5

The parade of bad GOP candidates since Reagan has one thing in common: they were all rich men with no skin in the game, for whom victory was optional. The Bushes of Connecticut and Texas, the McCains of Arizona and the Romneys of all over the place had no downside to an electoral loss; they were all just as well-off as they were before the start of their campaigns, and could return to their multiple homes with no sense of personal loss, just a little chagrin at letting the team down. By contrast, the Democrats have fielded a succession of hungry pols on the make, looking to do well by doing “good,” and amassing their fortunes the new-fangled way, via government “service.” Bill Clinton entered the White House with a smile and a shoeshine, and look at him today; meanwhile his wife is once again muscling up for her own re-run at the brass ring. And, literally, almost nobody had ever heard of Barack Hussein Obama before his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention.

Which is why there’s hope for the new crop of Republican radicals, such as Cruz and Rand Paul. Their open contempt for the likes of McCain and his sidekick, Lindsey Graham, is refreshing; they couldn’t care less what he and the other losers who have brought the GOP to its current estate think about anything. It’s only the media that keeps McCain’s star shining, as if he’s the Spokesman Emeritus for that nice, docile party of losers that knows its place. Which of course he is.

Yeah, the Dems were scraping by.

My pocket change is stacked up to my eyebrows.

Actual title does not mis-spell “RINOS”.
Why did you?

“Yeah, the Dems were scraping by.”

Kerry’s obtained his money by marrying a dead Republican’s widow. He maintained the Democrat tradition of spending other people’s money.

ANNIE COULTER WAS RIGHT....Had everybody had the sense to get behind MITT....Just as he promised...BY NOW..O-Care would have been killed in it’s crib and he’d have twisted enough Dem Sen arms to have strangled the life out of the Immigration movement as well....It’s an atrocity to think those two dangers, the most severe threats to America since the rise of axis powers....would today..... not even be extant....what a shame...what a shame...

There is no evidence that Mr RomneyCare (who advised Obama to create a national version) would have done anything to stop Obamacare.

Had you gotten behind any one of the other candidates instead of kissing up to that pathetic, withered hag you worship, mittens would never have been the finalist.

You and Anne backstabber are to blame for mittens, and now krispy kreme.

I don’t know about Coulter or Mitt Romney or whatever, but you need to be pulled over for excessive abuse of ellipses.

...they were all rich men with no skin in the game...
...y'know the type -- they didn't build that, they don't pay enough in taxes, they're too white, they don't support gay rights or undocumented Americans, they're against unilateral disarmament, they're controlled by a Jewish cabal...

I USE the ellipses to make the sentences clearer separating the thoughts and conditional phrases so as to avoid making the reader perform awful mental juxtapositions...small grasshopper...

‘There is no evidence that Mr RomneyCare (who advised Obama to create a national version) would have done anything to stop Obamacare.’

hahahaha oh yes there is.... there are many of his quotes out there ....mitt saying he’d end obamacare on day one...if ann said he was the strongest candidate opposing the 2 issues most dangerous to our country i.e. obamacare and immigration ‘reform’ then he was....and therefore made the best candidate extant....

dont be so lazy google ‘romney vows to destroy obamacare’ before you write such stuff...jeeeesh

It makes for a Heck of a long run-on sentence. Perhaps that makes sense for your manner of speaking, I don’t know. Besides, I like making the reader work a little. It’s good for them. Makes ‘em stronger (they’ll thank me for it some day, I’m sure).

;^)

I’m confused...do you really believe what a politician says? Why? Don’t you think what he/she’s done in the past is a better indication of what he/she will do in the future?

WELL I think this particular politician got it right. Also I THINK MORMONS ARE IN GENERAL averse to lyin and that romney care was, as mitt splained many many times...a small time experiment to see if it’d work...he didn’t conduct the experiment to grasp power over others either, i dont think the man has a controlling bone in his body. All the control he ever needed he got using his moxie to turn around all those companys...... consequently saving jobs and generally making things a whole heck of a lot better than they’d a been w/out this genius. All in all i think he’s just what his history shows he is...a bright, honest, giving achiever...way smarter and way more accomplished than 99 percent of his low information critics..you know, those snakes who couldn’t summon up enough talent and brains to shine his shoes haaahhah....sooo their ya have it...

Well CL i like to pack things in there immediately while i got the reader’s attention...if i use more sentences they have to process the next thought separately and i’ve taught classes long enough to appreciate the teeny tiny attention spans today’s dolts have....haaahha i like ‘em but i dont have the power or desire to clunk em on the head to regain their attention. sooooo there ya have it...I appreciate your comments about makin’ em stronger though...it’s been my way of thinkin for a long time. God bless ‘ya/
