Good Morning Morons, its Thursday January 12, 2012. On this day in 1773 the first public museum was founded in the U.S. Guess where it was at? That backwards-ass Charleston, SC.

GOP hands out additional spanking to FL for screwing up primary dates.
This whole system needs revamping. After the “expected” Mutt blessing by the hoard of blue States before March Madness and he loses to Obama maybe they’ll actually do some meaningful reforms. …. …. Nah, there is a reason they are called the party of stupid.

Bolton endorses Mutt; shit, he may as well shave and give up his man card
F&F is reporting this morning that Jim DeMint will endorse Romney this morning. (He will be on the show later) Damn, that is the double whammy for SC. They are all going with the self-defeating electability bullshit. He can give up his Tea Party card.

Nanny Bloomberg will not cut the number of bars in NYC
The original concern was the number of bars serving minors. I don’t see how cutting the number of bars would help that. This is another ploy by the prohibitionists like MADD. “Do it for the kids” they say and then attack all. If they were really concerned about bars serving minors they would do what SC does. Get busted once face a heavy fine. Second offense lifts your liquor license and you can never get another one. We don’t get too many “repeat” offenders here.

Globull Warming now causing polar bears to turn cannibal
The stupid is epic here. The “dwindling sea ice” myth has long been discredited but doesn’t stop these lying jackals. Polar bears primarily eat seals. Has the seal population dwindled? Not so’s you would notice. Some of the eco-tard people try to push that meme as well but with the government expanding hunting for natives and others complaining about how destructive the increasing hoards of these animals are I’ll let people with common sense judge that one.

ThatÂ’s it for the news this morning. Mostly the papers are all eat up with the primary in SC. The news on that is all Romney all the time. He is the designated heir and never shall any other meme pass through the press. Pat Cadell said something interesting on F&F this morning. Although turnout in NH was higher than 2008, the number of actual Republicans voting in the primary was lower. This is in a State that should be considered as RomneyÂ’s home State.

You may remember in the 80s when the eco-terrorists were spiking trees in Northern California. The mills had to install X-ray machines, and then the scum started using ceramic spikes to try to get around it.

I hesitated when I read this, but I think that with less arrogance and more preparation he could be a solid candidate. He started out with so much promise but lost his way so quickly, I assume that he was simply unprepared and had awful, mind-numbingly stupid advisers.

Now there is a new industry -- high quality fake IDs. Free enterprise has solved the underage drinking problem, albeit not the way the lawmakers intended. A small side effect is high quality fake IDs are also available for illegals and fugitives.

I think it was the relentless attacks over chickenshit from the press and the other candidates. He still has the best record of any of the candidates but even according to some of the Romneybots here record doesn't matter, its all about rhetoric.
I guess if you are going to support a liberal then you have to run on something besides record.

I don't regret supporting Perry, despite everything.
If he drops out I hope he will run again in 2020...
IIRC, he's 61 now. He'd probably be a bit long in the tooth by then. And I think he's already retiring soon.
Yeah, I don't regret it either. He was the most consistently solid conservative in the field this cycle, but his debate performances left something to be desired. Still, he brought some good ideas to the nations' attention like the flat tax idea (we damn sure don't need a VAT, hello, Europe!) and a balanced budget admendment.
He will be missed. I doubt he'll even make it down here by the 31st.

Perry made some assumptions about the ease of transition from a state-wide race to a national race. His aw-shucks manner obviously worked well in Texas, but he was unable to translate it to the national stage. He looked like a buffoon.
What really saddens me were the occasional flashes of a confident politician who seemed to be able to handle anything thrown at him and turn it around on his attackers. If he can hone those skills, we will see him again.

Reporting from Washington—
The Supreme Court refused to put new legal limits on the use of questionable eyewitness testimony at trials, ruling Wednesday that juries must weigh the evidence and decide what is true.
The 8-1 decision came as a disappointment to some criminal law experts who say false identifications by eyewitnesses are a leading cause of wrongful convictions.
The dissenter? None other than a certain wise Latina. Also, the pic of Ginsberg at the top of this LA Times article will wilt the stoutest hard-on. But I agree with this decision by the Court.

Ah, well, we will see. You go to war with the army you have. Romney doesn't want to lose, which is a good thing. And he has shown a cut-throat tendency, which will be needed to go against Obama.

Talking about a "conservaitve congress" to hold him in check is ludicrous. This is the same congress that couldn't cut a nickle out of the budget this year. They calimed they cut 38M but after the smoke cleared we learned that that was only a cut in the rate of increase.
We still have well over a 1,000 delegates to go and NOTHING is settled until at least we get past super Tuesday in March.

If Romney actually lets people like Bolton (and Bork) influence his decision-making (rather than just having them around for window dressing), it is encouraging, yes. If we're gonna have a Romney administration, we sure want it packed with as many non-Romney types in supporting positions as possible.
As for his VP pick...politically, it would make a lot of sense to pick a solid conservative to make peace with and motivate the base...especially one that could help deliver a crucial battleground state (such as the one I live in), but I wonder if that's what he'll do. I mean, has he done much of anything to reassure the base up till now? I wonder (and worry) that he might actually be politically tone deaf to the point of thinking that he doesn't need the base in the general either and will end up picking some "moderate" Romney clone who is no threat to overshadow the nominee, counting on the anti-Obama sentiment to be enough to get them all to the polls anyway. I hope not, but I do wonder.

Romney will undoubtedly be a better campaigner than McCain. He has demonstrated that he is a sleazy, underhanded prick, and that will serve him well against the other sleazy, underhanded prick in the general election.

Posted by: real joe at January 12, 2012 04:20 AM (w7Lv+)
However, looking at this rationally, I note these things about Romney:
1. He does understand the grass roots and the Tea Party, even if he hasn't been visible. Why else would he make the effort to get the endorsements of DeMint, Bolton, Haley, and all of the former Vatican Envoys?
2. He also understands the power of a non-competitor staying in to siphon off votes, since Huckabee did it to him in 2008. This is why he is nuking Newt. (The fact that Newt didn't see this coming is a sign of why he would not be a good candidate.)
3. He also understands the Obama machine and has built up an impressive war chest.
4. The speech after he won New Hampshire tells us he can actually exhibit some emotion, which he has been keeping under wraps pretty much.
I am watching this with interest. As I have often said, my primary isn't until May, so by then this will probably be sewn up. I think it good to look not at what people say, but what they DO. I am offering these observations only as one who hopes that we have someone, regardless of who, who will get Obama gone from the White House.
