6. frankly i think shrub is still working his magic from the political grave.

Oct 2012

much as they try to ignore him, he's the big stinky elephant turd in the room.

they haven't exorcised that demon and they're paying the price.

it doesn't help that rmoney easily appears to embody only the worst aspects of the rich, of ceos.
but his real problem is that the entire republican agenda now embodies only the worst aspects of the interests of the rich, or ceos.

a better candidate would help, but these things are not unrelated. he's a lousy candidate in large part BECAUSE the product he's pushing sucks and everyone knows it.

if everyone liked the republican agenda, we'd be talking about the way obama sighs, or the color of his sweaters, or how he looks in a tank helmet, or how he lied in some misquote.
