I love a great book. A story so well written that you get absorbed in the lives of the characters. The twists in the plot leave you surprised. A book so wonderful that you don't want to reach, "the end".
Election season is like that only I cannot wait to reach "the end". Candidates are so entertaining and they provide those surprise twists and turns. This season we are limited to just GOP candidates out there shaking hands and kissing babies. They have provided twists and turns but still no real interest. Why? They are poorly drawn characters.
Let's begin with Sarah Palin. She is the smartest non-candidate in history. Not only is she not running, she never intended to run. But she kept everyone guessing to keep her celebrity candle glowing. She loved to rally a crowd with her unique take on American History. She followed the actual candidates around in a huge bus. She usurped their media time with her presence. People just had to know what Sarah was thinkin' and sayin' and feelin' about God and guns and freedom.
She made a fool out of herself with her inability to understand that America wasn't a nation in the 1770s. When Paul Revere made his famous ride it had nothing to do with the second amendment as we had nothing to amend. We were British subjects. But that statement was just a nit. From a nit wit. People sent her PAC lots of money to help her decide to run. She took the money and ran right back to Fox News to comment on how, you betcha, Obama has ruined the nation. She and the family got a nice vacation; Sarah got to be on the TeeVee and no one got pregnant.
Then Michelle Bachmann held the attention of the GOP loyalists. She is pretty and apparently empty. If eyes are the window to the soul, hers is missing. She is married to a man who cures gay people. He's not an M.D. for the gay and lesbian community, he saves them from their homosexuality. Awesome. That's what we need in America. Someone to cure the gays so we don't have anymore severe weather. That's a two for one deal right there. A know nothing president to keep us stagnant and a first husband to control the weather through saving the gays. Only in America. Michelle should take a little break from the campaign trail and study some geography. According to Mrs. Bachmann, Libya is now part of the middle east. All Muslims live in the middle east.
Governor Rick Perry. He is my governor. Not that I voted for him but I stand nearly alone in the Blue part of Texas. There are approximately three democrats left in Texas. Perry wouldn't debate any of them. Now we know why. The man can't string together a sentence that makes sense. He flip-flops on the word flip-flop. He could never sing Margaritaville.
Governor Perry, you remember Howard Dean?
Mitt. Mr. Romney. He is so plastic I worry that he might melt during a long hot summer or a press conference. And, as we all know, he is a member of a cult. That means all you LDS members are cult members too. Thank goodness Mormons don't recognize Baptists. Southern Baptist Conference announced recently that most religions are cults. Not theirs. They are in the business of telling other religions what is wrong with them. How thoughtful.
Herman Cain. Talk about the big oops. The, "I did not have sexual harassment with those women", oops. Yeah, you're done. At least Jimmy Carter had the courage to admit he lusted in his heart. You could at least admit to lusting in your loins.
The rest of the field, Santorum, Gingrich, Huntsman, (the only viable candidate in the bunch), either are too boring or benign to cover. They should each get a book deal and/or public speaking engagements from their time on the campaign trail.
Let's face it, unless there is a miracle, the GOP has no chance of unseating Obama. They can vow to make him a one term president all they want. They can rail at the terrible things he has done to the nation but they have no facts. They have nothing but spewage and swagger.We had enough of that during the Bush administration.
You're welcome,
Lillybell Blues
