Simply because the media won't call him on it, as noted here several times before, doesn't mean that he isn't responsible. Mitt Romney won't stop the political PAC, acting on his behalf, from their dedication to the personal destruction of whomever is the biggest threat to him. Only the blind would fail to see it. So, it stands to reason that those who even bothered to think about their vote, acted in full knowledge that they were voting for a man whose lack of ethics were a match for his hoped-for Democrat opposition.

I have always been a fan of rough justice - the bad guy who kills the bad guy and then gets hit by a bus. Life does even out. And maybe, America making itself eat a ration of crap called Mitt Romney is justified, considering the political garbage that voters are willing to swallow in order to vote for him. But frankly, America deserves better.

Then again, maybe not. De Tocqueville [1805-1859] alludes that a country deserves the government it allows - a fear that permeates his work on the new country of The United States of America. (The actual quote comes from Savoyard, Joseph de Maistre [1753-1821] "Every nation has the government it merits." {"Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite."} De Maistre's writings were well known in France and would have been readily available to a well read scholar such as de Tocqueville, although there is no evidence of his having done so.)

But just now, I'd like to cling to my fantasy that America can be saved, even if it's from its own image in the mirror.

"...problems with the employment numbers.."
The Obama administration people admitted in a hearing today that the unemployment figures have been manipulated to look better. The Joint Economic Committee heard John Galvin of the Bureau of Labor Statistics admit, today, that the actual number of people who WERE looking for a job has dropped dramatically, lessening the work force number (the number used to create the unemployment ratio), as people just quit looking for work.

The newest adjustment is an Obama administration addition, adding more obfuscation to an already clouded set of statistics. More and more, we are living in a artificially puffed up stabilization. Real people know that they're really paying more for everything, and that there are not even kind of close to the number of jobs they were promised. That's called STAGFLATION.

No wonder unemployment has dropped to 8.3%. The statistical world shrank. That means: MORE PEOPLE ARE, ACTUALLY, OUT OF WORK, NOT LESS!. And screwing with the census numbers doesn't make it any more true.

Economically speaking, what this administration and the Democrat majority in Congress (both houses), two years before, have done, can be summed up in this phrase: "We've screwed up the economy so much worse than we inherited and wasted all the money, so, stop complaining and help us pay for our profligacy."

Things only look better. You are being lied to. When things are finally revealed, there will be people calling for the scalps of those responsible for hiding the facts. That day IS coming.

Groundhog Day, All Over Again
Humor me for a minute.

Let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that Mitt Romney is an empty vessel. What's in any empty pot depends on who is doing the pouring. I just heard Ann Coulter tell Sean Hannity that she walked up to Mitt and said, "You owe me," meaning, I think, that he damn well better be as conservative as she has made him out to be.

As much as I admire Miss Coulter, I was shocked to hear this kind of rah-rah, harriet-hi-skool bullesgeschichte. This election isn't about "wishin' an' hopin'." It's about all out war and the evisceration of almost 23 years (24, after the election) of sliding fascism - all for the good of the Country.

If you think Mitt Romney is the best this country can do, then your ears have been closed for the last 48 hours. And this business of rich guys endorsing other rich guys is all well and good, but any Southerner worth her or his salt will tell you that too much money may be a wonderful thing, but it brings problems, one of which is the misjudgement of necessity.

No South Carolina Christian or Jew or Sufi or Taoist or Stone-worshipper has a belief that says it's ok to steal if you're hungry. But when Romney said what he really thought - not what he was told to say - he admitted that he's all for robbing from people via taxation in order to help the very poorest. When the empty suit finaly spoke his own mind, it was evident that his focus is not on freedom, but perpetuation of a welfare state which feeds on the helpless, enslaving them, and concomitantly, those who are taxed in order to "help" the helpless.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If the Republican party puts up another moderate, the party will never become the majority necessary to free the country's citizens from the wickedness that has been visited upon it. The reason is that it could well split to become two parties or maybe even three. And the last time that happened, the Republican party was created from the ashes, and a second revolution was forced upon the land.

The Republican party has a chance to regain the high road of liberty and freedom - it has three good choices. But Romney is not one of them. Ann Coulter has proven that for us, even if she can't see it, herself.

Then, again, not everyone is perfect, all the time.

Finest Election Money Can Buy
There are 46 states left. Romney lost, in the land of the Orange, to the Conservative, once again. Do not imagine that he won anything but money-votes. Whether we pick Rick or Newt or Ron, Conservative will win.

As Herman says,"Keep the faith, baby, and lighten up!"

Amen, brother, amen.

A Friendly Message to Florida
In case you haven't noticed, there are many things that Romney has not discussed. Among the many, are the big ideas - money based on something, reducing government size by three-quarters, private space exploration and asteroid protection, specific immigration solutions for people who have been here, illegally, for more than 25 years, and on and on.

What we have heard from the Romney camp are half-truths spun into complete falsehoods. We still don't know who Romney is. But we DO know that a lot of Romney's falsehoods are being released too late to check on their veracity. We DO know that they have influenced several polling services with promises of support after the primary. We DO know that they think the Ex-Pat Cubans will vote for whomever they think will win (a major misreading of the Cuban community, I believe) and they want them to think Romney will win. Even Romney's own people admit they are trying to destroy..
