“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life,” Tagg Romney told the Boston Globe. “If he could have found someone else to take his place … he would have been ecstatic to step aside.”
Wow.
This is a list of people who shouldn’t run for President:
The Salt Lake City Tribune just endorsed Obama. Again. Even though Mitt Romney saved Utah from eternal embarrassment over that whole Winter Olympics thing. Even though he’s the most famous Mormon since Gladys Knight lost her mind and decided to convert. Even though he has more money than God. He’s still clearly the inferior candidate.
Tell some lies, suppress some voter registrations, and buy voting machines. This is the strategy of the Republican party for this election.
Politics hasn’t been about the issues in a long time, but I think we can safely say that this election has clearly moved us so far out of the realm of substance that it’s not even about policy anymore.
A perfect election would look like this: This is what I believe and this is how I disagree with the opposition and if you agree with me, you should vote for me.
Our elections look like this: This is some of what I believe, fleshed out by some things that I might not totally believe but that sound good to this particular audience. This is how I disagree with the opposition, by calling him names and making him look bad and making you angry enough at him that you’ll have to vote for me.
And that’s both sides, Democrats and Republicans alike. But Republicans are going above and beyond our already dysfunctional campaign standard and pulling out tricks I never thought possible.
This is what happens if the Presidential election is a tie. Things get very complicated, very quickly, and we’re all basically fucked.
This is also one of the many reasons why the electoral college is an archaic system that no longer makes any sense in today’s modern age of voting and should be done away with.
Regardless of your party, Paul Ryan should scare the crap out of you. Don’t be fooled by some clean-cut white man giving you platitudes about family values and real Americans and founding fathers. The man is selfish, misogynist, homophobic, greedy, and more than a little dumb. If you’re gay, old, female, poor, or elderly, Paul Ryan should make you want to strangle the nearest Romney supporter.
Let me spell it out for you: he doesn’t believe in climate change, his healthcare ideas are crap, he sponsors “personhood” legislation, he wants to make you poorer, and he’s anti-gay.
What else is necessary to prove this is a horrible ticket?
That’s what Paul Ryan said in his VP speech. I’m tired of this shit. Get your God out of my government! And stop falsely attributing things to people who can’t defend their words because they’ve been dead for 200 years! ALL of our founding fathers would be looking at you like Boo Boo the Fool if they were alive right now because NONE of them wanted this much Jesus in the White House.
Romney didn’t even want to be President.
