The Death Wish?
The anger across the heartland of America over the nation’s social and economic decline is palpable; so much so that the current occupant of the White House could probably be defeated in November by a ham sandwich. Unless of course the teleprompter jesus decides to follow Mr Santorum’s plan of borrowing or printing additional cash in order to finance another war, this time with Iran. In spite of this, the Republican party tends to select its nominee on the basis of a queue driven by “seniority” and a motto of “me too, only more efficiently”. With the nation hurtling toward a brick wall of debt at warp speed the Republican establishment hopes to seize the controls in order to reduce the velocity to mach 2.
Republicans sure have short memories. It was just four years ago that they went to the polls in the primaries and elected the most “moderate” and “electable” candidate they could find in the hope that they had a man who was palatable to the general population. Their reward for their unprincipled pragmatism was an ass-kicking in the general election that few Americans will ever forget. John McCain and Sarah Palin certainly won’t forget it.[snip]
In other words, if the more “electable” moderate got his ass kicked four years ago, how badly is the second-place moderate going to do this time around?
