Condoleezza Rice For Vice President!

I have been in love with “Condi” since I first laid eyes on her when that phony-baloney GW Bush was running for the presidency. I've always had a thing for brainy chics and Condoleezza is the real deal.

She’s brilliant! She speaks a half dozen languages fluently, is an expert on Russia and Eastern Europe, a classically trained pianist and she’s beautiful!

She is the perfect choice for Vice President for that fence walking Mitt Romney. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself.  What a smart move this would be.

Oh and she would SO go out with me! 

Ok, we don’t have a whole lot in common, she’s got Ph.D and was a Provost at Stanford University for six years and I went to night school for seven years to get my Associate’s. She plays classical piano and I play bass guitar. I suppose it would be a plus if I played classical guitar but I could never get the hang of that.  I’m more of a campfire strummer.

But forget all that, I believe we were made for each other and the fact that I’m an underachiever should not stand in our way. Well, my way I guess since she doesn’t know I’m alive but this is nothing that can’t be overcome!

I can see it all now… me lounging on the couch on a Winter’s evening reading some new comic book I bought and she playing a love sonata on piano. We’d talk about each other’s day and then later in the evening while lying in bed she can whisper her innermost thoughts to me in Russian. Ok, I wouldn’t know what it is she’d be saying exactly but how lovely it would be!

Can you imagine Condoleezza Rice in a debate with that imbecile Joe Biden? He doesn’t even know where Russia is! He’d have to call up Sarah Palin for directions. All he would know is that Sarah said she could see it from her house but then Biden would also have to know where Alaska is. That would be too much for him. The liberal press would have to fake a national television blackout or something to avoid showing that debacle. “You wouldn’t believe it, folks, all the satellite trucks lost power at once!”

Hell, have Condi debate Obama. She’d kick his ass. The guy can’t go five minutes without spouting some bizarre and meaningless campaign platitude like: “We’re almost there, help me get there with you.” Now if “there” means the bottom of a financial hole that we as a nation won’t crawl out of for 15 years, he’d be right on the money!  

And the last thing the President would want to do is debate his foreign relations record with a former Secretary of State and member of the National Security Council. Go Condoleezza!

But ultimately I believe that Condi and I will be reunited. Ok, I’ve never met her but if we were to ever meet, I’m sure she’ll fall head over heels for me.  So until then, as Vice President she'll be back at the forfront of American politics I can again worship her from afar.

Ok, so perhaps Mitt would be better off with a true conservative rather than a holdover from the Bush era but this time my heart trumps my head.

Condi Rice for VP!

Liberal Huntsman Quits Presidential Race, Endorses Romney.

John Huntsman, President Obama's former ambassador to China and the most liberal candidate in the GOP presidential race has announced he is ending his campaign. Huntsman was the odd man out in the GOP contest being the only one in the race who stood to the left of Mitt Romney’s political ideology. But on his way out the door, John Huntsman was gracious enough to throw his support behind Mitt Romney for president.

This dubious honor only highlights a big problem with the GOP this time around. They field the same liberal candidate every election. Sure they have a vote in each state primary but given the fact that the national GOP and the center-right media wing have been in the bucket for Mitt from the beginning AND that he’s been out campaigning for the last four years, it's not a total surprise he's in the lead for the GOP nomination. But the glaring fact of this campaign season is: Mitt Romney is Obama-Lite.

Unless the country is so totally sick of Barack Obama and will just pull the lever for anybody else, I don’t think Mitt Romney is going to beat him in this year’s election. They are too similar. Why vote for a liberal Republican when you can just vote for a liberal Democrat? There’s not much of a difference. Nobody gets elected by being the same candidate as the incumbent. And here is where Mitt Romney fails as a candidate.  

How do you think Mitt is going to handle it when Obama steps up to the microphone and says that not only was Romney-Care, the state of Massachusetts’ stab at Socialized Medicine, the inspiration for Obama’s National Healthcare Plan, it was also the model Congress replicated and that he, Obama, signed into law? How is Mitt Romney going to respond? Can he deny that Romney-Care and Obama-Care are similar plans right down to the mandatory participation rule? 

Beyond Mitt Romney’s blind political ambitions that lead him to essentially abandon governorship of Massachusetts to the liberal Democrat, Deval Patrick, this is his albatross: Romney-Care. A plan that started with cost overruns and has been in the red ever since. It is a plan with no oversight and no chance of success in the long run. Nobody is watching who is getting Commonwealth care cards and everyone who asks can get state subsidized healthcare. That includes people who are eligible for healthcare where they work and illegal aliens. All taxpayer funded. Thanks Mitt, thanks a lot.

Mitt Romney is nobody’s candidate but his own. He is not the Tea Parties choice, he is not the Libertarian choice and he’s barely the people’s choice since everybody, the media included, has been looking for somebody else, anybody else, to replace him these last several months. He is a candidate too similar to the president to be a valid choice.  So why is he there? That's right, he's got the money. 

Once he secures the GOP nomination, Mitt’s new campaign slogan can be: “Hold your nose and vote for Mitt!”

No, not very inspiring I’m afraid.
