The Hullabaloo Ends on a Whimper
The much-awaited Romney acceptance speech has whimpered away in the shadow of "Make My Day" Clint Eastwood. The spectacle ends in tones of Chauvanism, Jingoism, and shallow Patriotism. The major theme is, as it was in the beginning, an appeal to the special and "exceptional" people who make up the Repoob Party, and therefore have a right to lead this country. Lots-a-Luck with that! Their business was clearly to support business -- Small Business they claim, but all evidence points to Big Business and Big Oil. No mention of how they will get operational funding or start-up money for small businesses.
We've seen a steady stream of this drivel for many years now. Oh, did I mention that it was shot-through with anti-Obama accusations and put-downs? Romney clearly put the blame for "dividing us" on the President. He thinks we were all asleep during that ugly interlude called the Repoob Primary. A significant part of this country (the non-white part) received scarce mention by all the assembled, except for their token non-white women.
The biggest lie told was that this country is "not better off" than it was four years ago.
Then: we were losing jobs at a rate not seen before in this country. Now: we are gaining jobs.
Then: we were in the throes of a banking system melt-down. Now: the safe function of our banking system has been restored. Then: health care costs were sky-rocketing and insurance companies could deny coverage with impugnity. Now: those conditions have been reversed.
All of this in the face of a solid front of sabotage of the government led by the Repoobs.
Romney failed to tell us how he would end the truculence of the Repoob House of Representatives. We're left to assume that he will get their cooperation because he shares their skin tones. His Vice President voted for all of the debt increasing legislation of the Bush years and then sabotaged the Simpson-Bowles commission to fix the mess.
If this style of politics is what we have to look forward to, this country has no future. Any party an play the game the Repoobs have been running since the night the President was inaugurated four years ago. What goes around can come around. The voters might be as stupid or mean as the Repoobs are expecting.
Mitt talked about "dividers". He might trot out Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, New Gengrich, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and their fellow "uniters" of this nation. What a bunch of hooey!
