It's ridiculous that this election is even remotely close

[All Along The Watchtower]

With George W Bush and his merry band of Republican trolls subsidizing the richest Americans at the expense of everyone else, (not) financing two wars with tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, destroying American credibility on the international stage, being woefully negligent during Hurricane Katrina,  and helping to create the conditions that wrecked the American economy; with all this discrediting the Right and the Republican Party for a generation, what does the Right do?

They move further to the Right.

The Tea Party is so ignorant and misinformed and downright hostile, with the likes of Beck, Hannity, Palin, Bachmann, King, Gohmert, Perry, Cain, West, DeMint, and many other jokers that troll the airwaves, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and other such venues- for a living. Ignorant, misguided hatred is profitable in 21st century America.

Now they want to punish the "elite" by running the most elite plutocrat of them all against Obama-the author of Obamacare (I'm sorry, Romneycare, but what's the difference, really?) I say, "Are you serious?" They loathe Romney, but they loathe Obama more.

On the Republican side, this election isn't about a positive reaction to Romney. It's about the visceral, primal, negative reaction that they have to Obama. It goes beyond politics for them, because at the end of the day, they don't really know or care about what is really happening in the world. They live in a fantasy.

But whatever. Vote in Romney for all you want. Just don't be surprised when you have buyer's remorse on, say, January 21, 2013.
