Santorum Slap-Down


Santorum is just giving me more and more reasons to L-U-V him.

Here, he’s responding to one of his money guy’s saying something only an old-fart would say yesterday about women and sex which got the libs all worked up and he just slams Charlie Rose – it’s beautiful. It’s at about the 2:00 mark, but here’s a snippet:

“Now I have respond to every supporter who says something… This is what you guys do. You don’t do this with President Obama. In fact, with President Obama, what you did was you went out and defended him against someone who sat in a church for 20 years, and defended him, that he can’t possibly believe what he listened to for 20 years,” said Santorum. “That’s a double-standard, this is what you’re pulling off, and I’m going to call you on it.

Yes!!!!!!!!

That response ALONE got my vote – today – but I’ve been vacillating between him and Romney.  Romney is so appealing because I’m thinking nobody likes their accountant particularly, but he’s the guy that can straighten out your finances, right?  And that’s what we urgently, existentially, desperately need RIGHT NOW.  Mitt’s my “Mr. Right NOW” even if he’s not Mr. Right, if you know what I mean.

BUT… Santorum can punch, man!  I LOVE that.  SOMEBODY has to take on these whores.  And that’s what they are.  They’re barely above parasites, locusts, cockroaches in my opinion.  There’s also the appeal of TOTALLY upending A YEAR+ of planning of the Obama 2012 team if Romney ISN’T the nominee… and Santorum has some SERIOUS blue collar cred.  He can REALLY swing back with EVERYTHING Bam throws at him, including, especially, MATTERS OF FAITH!

Today, I’m in love.

Tomorrow is another day…

Dr. Eeyore Krugman is "Glass 1/2 Empty" Again

Once again, the big-brave-unafraid-to-have-their-assertions-challenged HE MEN at the New York Times will not publish a comment of mine (I’ll bet my house) so I thought I’d do it here. Parenthetically, I’ve cut & pasted quotes from their OWN NEWSPAPER, politely, and with links, using my best Queen’s English and they never, ever, publish those. It’s such a stupid thing to complain about but jeez. Have some stones!

Anyway… I digress. Krugman’s latest is pointing out… wait for it… hypocrisy… Yawn…

STOP THE PRESSES! POLITICIANS ARE HYPOCRITES! WHOA DADDY.

He’s obviously got his marching orders from Plouffe that it’s Santorum’s turn to get taken down so he points out something incredibly stupid he said in 2003. Yup. Dumb thing to say. My (never to be published, I’m sure, comment) is below:

Rules from childhood:

1. ‘Johnny did it too.’ doesn’t fly with Mom. You can’t point at Johnny as an excuse. You’ll get ‘If Johnny jumped off a cliff, would you do that too?’ from an exasperated Mom.

2. ‘Johnny did it first.’ ALSO doesn’t fly with Mom. You can’t point at Johnny as an excuse. You’ll get ‘If Johnny jumped off a cliff, AND WENT SPLAT would you BE SO STUPID as to do that too?’ from an exasperated Mom.

Republican or Democrat, R or D, is sooooooooooo last century. Promiscuity with the people’s money has been so pervasive in BOTH parties for so long that pointing at R or D is now officially passe. It’s time for INDIVIDUALS to be held accountable and VOTE THEM OUT. There’s no such thing as ‘collective’ salvation OR blame anymore. When you DIE you go to the Pearly Gates ALONE, St. Peter doesn’t call a (political) party of 5… or 535. Or 300+Million Americans. YOU ARE JUDGED ALONE.

And Eeyore? Hear his voice in your head saying “Oh nooooooo… It’ll never work…” and you will understand the ‘glass is half-empty’ ‘all GOP are evil’ ethos that oozes off him like the smell of vodka the morning after a hard night of drinking.
