Origami Election Headquarters ‘08 - Romney Update!
Big news!
According to these reports I’ve seen Mitt Romney is formally suspending his bid for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Mr. Mitt is calling it quits.
Quite shocking! I can only guess what was promised to him to do so.
The reasoning behind this act is: If the Republicans get their s**t together before next November, they can campaign hard for their nominee. A silly thought I think, getting a head start won’t really matter in the long run.
But McCain’s wins must have the hard line cons sweating real bad. I’ll bet that they think McCain will grant amnesty to all their illegal gardeners and nannies forcing the Cons to actually pay a decent wage to their workers.
Back to Mitty, I’m racking my brain to figure out what he’s going to get. What did the Republican party promise him? I know Huckabee isn’t interested in the VP, but Mitt might be willing (Too bad Giuliani). Or how about a staff job: Secretary of Defence, Secretary of State? That sounds a little better, he won’t be a second banana to McCain, but a valued cabinet member.
And, of course, in 8 years he could say I’ve got the experience to live in the White House.
Typical of any politician Romney couldn’t quit without taking shots at the Democrats. CNN states he said -
“In this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. This is not an easy decision. I hate to lose,” the former Massachusetts governor said.
“If this were only about me, I’d go on. But it’s never been only about me. I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, in this time of war I feel I have to now stand aside for our party and for our country.”
Yeah that doesn’t smack as arrogance and ignorance at all.
What CNN doesn’t realize is: McCain will most likely not win against either Obama or Hillary. In my opinion no Republican candidate can beat the Democrats in the ’08 election, but I always felt that Romney had a better chance than McCain.
Furthering the Imperialist Oil Agenda of America, Romney said about his former opponent McCain:
“But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and I agree with him on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror worldwide,” he said.
So stupid. Iraq is merely another breeding ground for Al Qaeda, not the source. What these Republican Oil Puppets don’t realize: Al Qaeda is everywhere and the fight needs to be fought on our terms and theirs. Occupying a foreign country, an Islamic country doesn’t help the cause.
If you want to truly destroy Islamic fundamentalists, you have two options.
1. Stop thinking for the moment, start thinking about the big picture and stop undermining the local’s power base. Remove all those American companies stealing money from the grants and recovery checks being written by the U.S. Government. Give that money and resources and an olive branch to the Arabs of the middle east. Toss out Haliburton of course. Help those living in refugee camps caused by Israel and give the population a chance to make better lives for themselves. Once they have good jobs and good homes the call to matyr themselves will be less appealing.
2. Nuke the middle east and kill them all.
The very bias and liberal CNN strangely reports —
“Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama saw Romney as a vulnerable candidate that they would rather run against instead of McCain.”
That’s from CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley. Not sure if that’s true, but that would strike me as odd. What the Democratic candidates and CNN don’t seem to realize:
McCain may be a more liberal Republican, but he’s still a Republican. Democrats won’t vote for him and he’ll lose. Personally I don’t see why anyone on the left side of the fence would think “because you like him so much” that the Dems would actually vote for McCain.
It’s not a win-win situation if you say his presence in the White House is a good thing. McCain is still a Republican. My limited experience in these matters tells me that liberals liking McCain is not an issue and I find it odd that CNN would.
The national election is about the swing states and I just see the idea of voting in a black president or a woman president a stronger incentive.
People have been voting in records numbers, Obama has a lock on South Carolina and a number of other southern states by my estimate. Hillary has Arkansas and Tennessee I think, she’s from the area.
A moment of pause to reflect.
Well this election is getting more and more interesting. I’ll admit I’m paying attention this time. 4 years ago I was just hoping that Kerry could beat Bush and he proved to be an utter disappointment. Still wish Fred Thompson was running, I like him.
Mitt, I don’t like you and so I say so long, farewell. It’s been nice.
I bid adieu,
your Origami reporter,
L.Manly
