What? You don'r want Romney. Too bad.

Stuff I don't get

“

I don't watch NFL pre-season games, and I don't pay much attention to GOP primary stuff Both are meaningless. In the first instance, some teams experiment while others may go all out to win. The second, I believe, is as scripted as an Obama media interview. I have noticed a recent trend from reading the Drudge page though. A few days before any primary the headline is "[Santorum; Newt; etc] leads Romney by 12 in [State]. " And then Romney wins handily. Make of that what you will.

This observation from Tam [Things I Don't Get, #349,723] also resonates,

“

{...] Anyhow, there's a certain class of people who will read the paragraphs above and, like a knee tapped with a mallet, launch into a "Well, when you Libertarians can elect a dog catcher, then we'll take you seriously, until then..."

This always sounds to my ears as "Well, our guys may be despicable turd-burglars, but at least they win elections!" and therefore makes absolutely no sense to me.

Let's please not act like either Gingrich or Santorum is the anti-Romney. This very blog was pounding Gingrich as he sat on the couch with Pelosi, we were all yukking it up over where he was with his contract with America, and where he was then. And Santorum, who I desperately want to like, says all of the wrong things and makes them issues, when there are plenty of others.

Romney has his problems, plenty, but let's not act like either of these men are remotely good alternatives.

Robert Mitchell Jr. said...: Sorry because many of us like much of the Libertarian message, but it's a two party system. By becoming a third party, all they have done is split the freedom vote and give power to the Democrats. I would love for the Libertarians to prove they are ready for prime time. But to do that, they would have to join with the Republican party and take it over from the inside, as the Communists did with the Democrats. If you can't take over and run on of the political parties, you are certainly not ready to run the country....; 3/6/12, 12:21 PM

I went to vote in our OPEN primary, where thanks to the Stupid Party of Virginia, we had a choice of Paul and Romney.
I talked to a poll volunteer, and he said that up until my arrival about 11:30, there had been more cars with Uhbama stickers than not. I wonder which one the Dem captains instructed them to vote for?
Open primaries are suicide for non-incumbents.

Anyone want to stand back and work out the ballistics on the good ole USA right now? Buehler?

Keep voting for the same ole big goverment clowns, of EITHER party, and feel good about yourself. Like the man said, if voting changed anything they would have made it illegal. But in the real world, the shot heard 'round the world is about done on its trajectory and your vote for Mitt or Newt or Rick or Ron or Sarah or Barry or Hillary isn't going to change it. When America quit being good it quit being great.; 3/6/12, 12:58 PM
Anonymous said...: The sorry, from me anyway, was regarding Tams last line.

"This always sounds to my ears as "Well, our guys may be despicable turd-burglars, but at least they win elections!" and therefore makes absolutely no sense to me."

She sounds a bit bitter about the state of her Libertarian choices of candidate never catching traction. But they do it to themselves, by having some good ideas and then really bizarre ones.

Misplaced ire.

Kristophr said...: And that sort of unrealistic crap is why I left the LP, Marie.

That old arch-libertarian/conservative Barry Goldwater would have had a simple answer for Dar-al-Islam after 9-11.

Rodger the Real King of France said...: "She sounds a bit bitter ... "

Prolly a good idea to read Tam's post in its entirety, and a few more while you're at it. Your stab in the dark missed everything.; 3/6/12, 5:30 PM
Kristophr said...: Tam ain't on board with the entire big L libertarian platform, JF.

But she does have a point about electing Kodos to save us from Kang.; 3/7/12, 12:22 AM
