I Don’t Care that Romney won Nevada. Whoopee.

Having said that, you have to admit that Newt does his dead level best when he focuses on the positive side of Newt and anything Obama.

Newt, we get it. Romney is an opportunist who will say what he needs to say and do what he needs to do to try and get himself elected.

Romney is the Chameleon Candidate. Liberals like that. A LOT.

We also get the fact that the mushy moderates among us are once again giving us, the true blue conservatives of the nation, another mushy moderate presidential candidate. Same as happened with Dole. Same as happened with McCain.

We also get the fact that all the mushy moderate superstars and even a few of “our guys” are rallying to Romney.

McCain likes Romney. Trump likes Romney. Huckleberry likes Romney. Absolutely no surprises.

Well, Trump was a bit of a surprise, given his past statements, but you know those two have something cooked up, else that endorsement never would have happened. Conservatives don’t care about Trump anyway. Way too fat cat 757 high flying sneaky.

Disclaimer: As good conservatives we praise and give all the credit to Trump when he makes lots of money and wish him all the best on his TV show on NBC and gigs with Hannity and Greta, and know he’s just like us, except he doesn’t know how to eat pizza.

Seems like all the big boys marching behind Romney are either moderates, liberals, or deal makers. Collectively, they are called the “establishment.”

Folks who genuinely like Romney must be respected. On the other hand, folks who are just going along to get along, or doing what their Republican masters tell them deserve NO respect. These are the people who lost the last election for us. Thank you very much.

But Newt….

You are playing into Romney’s hands with the lame personal attacks. You aren’t changing any mind numbed robot Republicans minds, and you aren’t firing up your base of conservatives.

You must whittle Romney in a more artful fashion.

Yes Newt, Romney is living in your head rent free and everybody but you sees it. Every time you go after the man, you empower him. YOU KNOW THAT….

So, Luke Gingrich, don’t give into the dark side. Let your strength flow by minimizing the silly predations of Romney and maximize your powers by busting Obama and giving out reasons to vote FOR YOU.

Do that, and let folks figure out why NOT to vote for Romney on their own.

I know it’s a fine line and I know that folks are not always as smart as they ought to be, but you know that the best told tale is a tale that tells itself, and not one spelled out sentence for sentence.

When you must defend yourself, tell half of it and let us figure the rest out on our own. That’s the way the lesson sticks the best and most deeply.

You have this greatness in you Newt.

Be the story teller…not the narrator. You know that.

        Faithful Reader: If you happen to agree with my assessment, why not do what you can to make sure Newt sees it. You have your resources. Put this in front of him and sign off on it yourself.

Newt gets pounded…again. Good Tea Party Republicans DO NOT approve!

(We ALSO DO NOT APPROVE of Newt spots pounding Romney. How dumb do these guys think we are?)

I don’t care who you’re voting for, this new level of Florida swamp mud throwing really sucks.

This time around we will elect our candidate to whip Obama’s doomsday scenario on the basis of truth…not lies and smarmy political commercials. Who do they get to voiceover those things anyway? Do you know anyone who talks like that? If you did, how far would you trust them.

If Newt digs his own hole, then so be it. However, the LAST thing we should stand for is someone else doing it for him.

In a contest where the best man can rise to the top on the fair and square, this romp in the swamp has really gotten out of hand fast.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll not sit idle while the good ol boy GOP establishment chooses my candidate for me. Not again. Not ever again. Triple down on that when they use Obama tactics.

For his part, Romney may well win the battles with this approach, but if he continues he’ll lose the war. Winning at all cost doesn’t cut it with the Tea Party. Tactically, it’s something Nancy Pelosi would do.

At the end of all things, if Romney proves to be vile to the point of not being worthy, and Newt proves to be not the guy we want him to be…well….there is another.

______________________________________

I confess that I am truly in the Gingrich camp. Naturally, this can change, depending on future events.

What I take heart from though, is that unlike the last few elections, this time around 3 out of 4 of the candidates are speaking MY language, and the 4th isn’t going anywhere.

Human nature being what it is, we all have our favorite, but if our man loses, we still have two other GREAT choices in our back pockets. I can’t recall an election period like this in my lifetime.

Most point back to the Reagan era being the model for the future, but truth be told, Reagan was an unknown quantity before he took office. We had great hopes, but in the end, it was hopes. Thank God our hopes panned out.

With the gift of hindsight and Reagan’s example, we have a ton of metrics with which to measure our 2012 guys, and all of them have records. It’s like a searchlight compared to a candle. We were a LOT dumber back then. Or maybe a lot more innocent.

Today, the choices are much more stark. It’s the battle of brains vs. ignorance. Brains ought to win, but as we have seen, ignorance is a pretty powerful force. Ex: Government by recall in Wisconsin.

Case in point:

The evening of Newt’s South Carolina win, I was struck that during his victory speech the audience spontaneously broke out in a chant. Yes, conservatives also chant. They yelled at the top of their lungs, “USA   USA   USA   USA.”

Contrast this with an Obama rally. Reverently, the audience will chant, “O-Bah-Ma   O-Bah-Ma   O-Bah-Ma   O-Bah-Ma.”

It is the cult of country first vs. the cult of the man first. Conservatives worship the country. Liberals worship the man.

We know where the worship of the man leads.

It’s damn funny that the dictionary definition of conservatism states that we want to maintain the status quo, while progressives want to move things on along into the future.

The truth is that liberalism seeks to take us back to a political system of dictators, kings, czars, and pharaohs. The deification of the man.

If I fault our conservative candidates for one thing above all, it is telling us that to vote Obama is to vote for a European style socialist system. That’s being much too generous.

Allowing Obama another term will announce to the world a new nation… The Banana Republic of America. Even worse, at least the old Banana Republics have bananas. Here in the good old USA, we have none.

When I am overtaken by the constant barrage of things that make NO sense from the left, I remind myself of an immutable fact, and then I can find a measure of peace…

Whatever the left says is ALWAYS and FOREVER the exact opposite of the truth. ALWAYS.

So when you hear an outrageous exclamation from a liberal, apply reverse logic and you will always learn what they really think. It works every time it is tried. It’s no more complicated than that.

Often, my articles here on The Most Conservative website, AlabamaTeaParty.org, are lengthy and contain humor, mostly in the form of satire. Many times I present artwork to illustrate whatever point that I am making. I have a modest following. Many political blogs have more readers.

That said, I want to get straight to the point in this edition. We’re all grownups. I don’t have many “newbie” readers. Most folks who come here are at least as smart as me. Many times, I would suspect, smarter.

I am not a Romney supporter. Of course, if he wins I would support him to the hilt. Same for all of them, even Paul, reluctantly.

In the meantime, I have said from the get-go that our problem has NOT been a LACK of talent this time around. Our problem is the ABUNDANCE of conservative firepower. How can you make a proper choice with all the great candidates?

Barring a miracle, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman aren’t going anywhere. Two of those three choices, I feel, are walking disasters if nominated.

Thus it comes down to Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum.

If the course is maintained, Romney will win for the simple mathematical reason that Gingrich and Santorum tend to cancel each other out.

The answer is obvious. If Gingrich and Santorum would reach an agreement to run as a team then it would be a fair race.

I believe, even a lead pipe cinch for the conservative wing of the party. One to be president and one to be vice president.

Has this been done before? Not that I know of. Must one or the other drop out of the race? Yes. Would their egos let them? Unknown.

I don’t think it is a leap to say that this solution will become much more evident at the conclusion of South Carolina, and a must consider proposition at the conclusion of Florida.

Barring a miracle, it’s either this or get ready for President Romney.

The miracle would be if they would actually do it.

Lastly, would the voters approve this innovative but wholly novel solution?

I say they would if the right people approved of it first. Rush. Cain. Palin.

Nobody wants hard news any more. They only want things like the latest Gallup Poll, blah, blah blah. But you get the hard stuff here on the ATP.

You and I know that if Iowa and New Hampshire both were stolen overnight by a space alien from a dying world to repopulate their planet with more liberals, that at a minimum it would be three hours before anyone noticed the smoking holes.

It has happened before. Several years ago space aliens with too many liberals plunked a Nevada shaped piece of planet complete with their excess libs down on top of the home state of Nevada senator Harry Reid. Nobody noticed. Dig down 30 feet anywhere in the state and you’re liable to find the original inhabitants down there, flatter than granny’s Sunday pancakes.

But what is happening right now today is worse. It has become a big no-no to question the ethics and character of Mitt Romney and Fox News is leading the charge. Have you noticed how protective they have become of the Mitt?

The nomination process is over. Our candidate for president was decided in Iowa and New Hampshire. The other 55 states can save their primary money. It’s a win win!

Of course, as soon as Mitt receives the presumptive crown at the end of the day with scrutiny he’ll jack rabbit to the center “because it’s what you have to do to win the vast pool of undecided voters.”

They have done it to us again.

As best as I can determine, if the reports are true, Romney has in his portfolio the practice of buying businesses with the sole goal of destroying them for profit.

I happen to know that you feel about like I do. Your guts tell you at a ratio of  55/45  that you think this is ok, because it’s part of capitalism.

How would would one go about making a profit from destroying a business?I thought about it and came up with a scenario…

Suppose there is a food warehouse out there that maintains a full stock of goodies. But because their college educated CEO is a total dumb head, now they have their butt in a crack. The business, including the groceries (which are paid for) is worth conservatively ten million. But because of bad management they need a million to pay operating expenses for the coming month or two or they’ll have to shut down. File for bankruptcy.

To the rescue comes Bad Capital, an investment firm, which buys the warehouse for a neat $5 million bucks. This means the CEO is off the hook with a nice little severance package to boot.

Bad Capital has two roads they can travel. Pump in a million bucks to keep the warehouse operating, or sell off the building and assets, lock stock and barrel.

They crunch the numbers in their Microsoft spreadsheet and determine that it will take longer to make back their $5 million investment than they want to wait.

So, (While sending out happy happy memos telling the employees not to worry) they sell the building, trucks, forklifts, tow motors, groceries….everything for cost (Which just happens to be $10 million bucks), and pocket $5 million dollars profit without selling one truckload of groceries.

That’s how to buy a business, dismantle it, and make a profit.

The only thing left to do, is to sponsor a phony work fair for the employees who are out of a job now. Or maybe they don’t even do that.

I, myself, have never been the victim of a demolition scenario like the above, but I have come close.

For 14 years I was employed by a company which was sold 3 times. Each time, I and the other employees worked very hard to get the business back in the black, foregoing raises and such, so the business could be sold again. Eventually, the halls, which had once seen traffic from 50 semi-happy employees was finally emptied.

So I know the pain this sort of capitalism brings for the little guy.

Be that as it may, I, like you, defend the right of a person or business to practice this destructive capitalism, as it has been called.

However, this practice should be called SCROOGE CAPITALISM. Is it OK to do it? Yes. Is it right? No, obviously.

A man who practices this mode of business….Well, it says a lot for the man, doesn’t it?

But BEYOND this… There is ONE OTHER REASON you don’t approach business this way.

The reason my friends is something called, “What Goes Around Comes Around.”

I don’t care if you are religious or not. I’m pretty sure you are a believer in payback. Let me be the one to remind you that it is an absolute fact of nature that man pays for his actions…sooner or later. It is ALWAYS this way. We don’t know when, or how, but we do know it is inevitable.

Thus, Romney is paying now and it just so happens that the angel Gingrich is the man holding the lien. If he hadn’t chosen his destructive capitalism path back then, then you must admit, what we’re seeing today would not be happening. Refer to the documentary, “Back To The Future” for the theory of diverging paths, etc. I do.

Just goes to show you that if you have any idea of becoming president some day, if you’re a conservative, you best walk the path that is straight and narrow.

BTW, I gave my humble opinion of Romney back in October, (Which was well before I knew ANYTHING about his biz background)  when I made the observation that he reminded me of every bad CEO I never knew.

It’s suck city time, Tea Party friends. Romney would not be in the position of having to explain himself right now if he had not been so quick to (slyly) go along with the scorched earth campaign against Newt.

Newt, who was major ticked by the Romney shenanigans in Iowa is even now in the process of running his very own type of scorched earth, salted well campaign against Romney.

Unfortunately, once again the little guy loses. What WE want is to see these two giants JOIN FORCES to GET RID of Obama! Instead, it’s the Tit For Tat show. Amateur hour.

In the meantime, Obama chuckles. Plays golf and chuckles. Well, plays golf, chuckles, and possibly schemes for a brilliant October surprise for Iran. Obama loves surprises.

I suppose you would have to call the Sunday Meet the Press Debate with David Duchovny the “Gay Debate,” as they spent an awful lot of time on the hot subject.

For a southerner with more to worry about than gay adoption…Things like will I ever work again, thermonuclear war, gas prices, etc., I confess that gay pride ranks about 44th out of 44 on my list of political issues.

But, New Hampshire which leads the nation in gay stuff obviously sees it much differently. Hopefully this important national topic will be settled once and for all when they get to vote for the gayest candidate come ‘lection day.

Honestly, the Republican candidates deserve whatever they get in the way of dumb questions at these debates sponsored by ABC and NBC, for they should have never agreed to do them in the first place.

It is our lot in life as good conservatives to have to winnow away the wheat from the chaff and take away what good information we can as we wend our way through the minefields the liberal progressive communistic traditional news media strews in our way during the debates.

I found the photo above on the Daily Politics blog while I was trying to find the correct spelling for Meet the Press talk yakker, David Duchovny. It was above the fold in an incomprehensible article by Charles. P. Pierce, who is obviously a liberal.

I wonder if my imperious words are equally confusing to him? I never thought about that. Anyway, I got a good laugh from the photo, which someone who obviously does not think as we do went to a LOT of trouble to produce.

This photo reminded me at all the fun WE will have with photos of our favorite liberal, His Infernal Majesty, B. Obama!

Tea Party Hobbits all agree that the McCain endorsement of candidate Romney says more about the man, the plan, and the future of the Republican party if the establishment wins than just about anything else to come down the pike this election cycle.

No man ever did more to help create the Tea Party than that rascally McCain with his brilliant run for the presidency last time around when he niced Obama into the White House.

Now sit there and tell me you didn’t feel a thrill running down your Tea Party leg when you learned of McCain’s selfless endorsement of Mit.

What has Fox News and Iowa given the nation?

On Wednesday 12/28/2011 Fox News officially, without saying as much, threw its support fully behind candidate Romney.

Beginning with Fox News In the Morning and ending with Fox Talk Yakkers In the Evening, it was wall to wall Romney Goodness Day.

For Newt, it was a full day of hilarious jokes and wise cracks.

Personally, they FORCED me to love Newtie ALL THE MORE because the LAST thing *I* need is some shifty emasculated New York outfit telling me who I ought to like.

In fairness, all this attention on Romney was not his fault, but he basked in the glow. I retched.

What has Iowa given the nation?

Iowa, God Bless em, is full of GOOD people. But as a group they have given us exactly THREE things:

1. Taters. (Po-Ta-Toes)…  Iowa Spuds! Some of the best in the world!
   __________

2. Bill Shatner (Born Riverside, Iowa March 22, 2233) who was the best and most conservative minded captain of the Starship Enterprise fighting for earth and the Federation of Planets.
   ________
   
3. Heartburn.

With Fox News and the good voters of Iowa protecting our back, it looks likely that Obama, who is definitely a Klingon sympathizer, will continue to rack up historical firsts.

The actual fact here is simply that what Fox News doesn’t understand is that the conservative electorate isn’t focused right now. How could we be?

At the end of the day when the last man standing is nominated, whoever it is, it’s going to be like a full Federation raid on a miserable little Klingon outpost. It’s going to be a memorable massacre

Now that’s some scrutiny you can put in the bank at the end of the day.

BTW, one last measure of scrutiny… NEVER trust any talk yakkers that uses the phrase, “At the end of the day.” It’s a sign that they are uninspired talking point deliverers at the end of the day.

NASCAR fans….Something to motivate you to the polls. The next race at Talladega after Obama wins will be run with electric cars only. Since they have to recharge for a minimum of 6 hours every fifty miles, Race Week really will take a week. No passes issued to go out for more beer.
