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.

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.

Iowa and Fox News have given so much to the nation. It’s time to recognize them for their values and character at the end of the day with scrutiny

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.
