TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT
Mitt Romney got the endorsement of Donald Trump. So? Well, Newt was hoping for it. Imagine, the endorsement of Donald Trump meaning anything. Repulsive. Has Donald Trump ever read a book? In the USA it doesn't matter. If you have money, you are miraculously intelligent, erudite, insightful, etc.
FLORIDA: SLEAZY & CRUDE
Americans should take a close look at the recent Republican Party primary electioneering. Have you ever seen anything so crude and low? It matches the Vietnam "veterans" criticism of decorated Vietnam veteran John Kerry by the Republicans. At that time it didn't matter if lies were told, history distorted, etc. The same thing happened in the Romney-Gingrich hissy-fit. It was crude to the max.
GINGRICH: GOP SUICIDE
Please, prove me wrong. I think that the Republican Party big-wigs will do anythng they can to avoid having Newt Gingrich nominated as their presidential candidate. Both Newt's horrid background and his sleazy and uncontrolled temper would be a disaster for the GOP. Prove me wrong. While I tend to vote for Democrats, I cannot believe that even the Party of the John Birch Society, the Tea Party, and the adulterer Ronald Reagan would allow a despicable character as Newt to carry the Party's torch for the hightest office in the U.S. It is almost impossible to think we have sunk that low.
U.S. MEDIA FIXATION ON WAR
Yes, I realize that the U.S. must have a military, and protect itself. However we have extended and expanded this to take on all the trappings of imperialism. From our imperialistic treatment of American Indians to recent illegal invasions of a foreign nation, America should be ashamed. And American capitalism has been very reliant on war to keep our corporations busy and making money, sell advertising and, like fires and natural catastrophes, it gets the biggest audience. Thus it sells advertising. And it concocts an American perspective that war is necessary, and war makes for profitable capitalism. OK-OK, we know the myriad stories of war and the drumbeat of military solutions to the world's problems. How about a little time given to peace as a subject? These are hardly peaceniks quoted...
GOP RACE TO THE BOTTOM
Sometimes the term "bottom-feeders" fits perfectly. Look at the list of the sanctified GOP candidates devouring their political kinfolk in South Carolina. And I thought it was about as low as one could get when John McCain and his followers trashed a decorated Vietnam war hero, John Kerry. I overlooked that dastardly lie in part because McCain was a prisoner in a North Vietnamese camp. But it was low nevertheless. But each of the new Republican vultures, snakes, and eels truly feed off of each other, to say nothing of what they will do to our African-American President. First the GOP sharks sharpen their teeth on lies, deceptions, misrepresentations, and mask-wearing. Then they will turn to bigotry in the general election (they have already sunk to that, but they are distracted by telling lies about each other).
