Some of you may recall the powerful evidence in 2004 that George W. Bush was cheating in the debates by wearing an earpiece. The New York Times famously (well, at least somewhat famously) documented the evidence and then refused to print it because it might have had an effect on the election: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2012

A few of you may be aware of the extensive evidence that Bush has worn an earpiece and been prompted with answers at speaking events for the past three years: http://democrats.com/earpiece

This background is reason to believe a candidate might cheat and that it is technologically feasible. It is also reason to believe the media would kill the story. It is not reason to know that Mitt Romney cheated in the MSNBC debate this week. But there are other good reasons to believe that he did.

Well folks that's it for the Mittster - he was caught on tape with an earpiece! Listen for yourself as someone whispers "he raised taxes":

Call every radio and TV talk show you can and tell them to play this on the air! Let's expose Romney to the world as the fraud that he is. And when we're done with Romney, let's expose Bush too for wearing an earpiece at every debate, press conference and interview since 2004!

While we are focused on the democratic primaries we mustn't lose sight of the Republican front runners. Our candidate will be running against one of them. I find all the Republican candidates frightening for one reason or another. One of them wants us to keep our troops in Iraq until we "win" the war, even if it is another 10-20-100 years. Another wants to rewrite our Constitution to suit his notion of what God wants. A third candidate wants to keep cutting taxes for the richest among us, with no plan at all as to how we will pay the bills.

In this article Paul Campos states that "Mitt Romney is more dangerous than George Bush"! With Romney in office we would likely see the "Bush Doctrine" on the same "B12" shots that have done so much for sports. Here we find a brief outline of Romney's beliefs about presidential powers.

We've all seen the signs and bumper stickers - "I'm the NRA and I Vote."

But with the Republican Party in chaos, time the question must be asked: for whom??

Grandpa Fred is putting his last eggs in the basket of South Carolina gun owners, but gun owners aren't fools and they have no interest in backing a sure primary loser.

Their dilemma is expressed by F. Hewitt Grant, the grandfatherly president of Ellett Brothers gun manufacturing:

Grant has been wooed by three candidates: Thompson, Huckabee and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Someone is trying to knock Mike Huckabee out of the race with this hard-hitting ad attacking Huckabee for freeing Wayne Dumond. Who's behind the ad and the web site huckabeefacts.com?

AP reports,

Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

The article, to be published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, says Huckabee asked the question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn't know much about it.

Huckabee is being coy - he certainly knows enough about Mormonism to cite some of its wackier theological positions that will make Baptists gasp.

Romney fired back by saying attacking his religion was "un-American."

But arresting millions of "tired, poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free" and sending them back is "American"?

Romney: Echoes of Triumph of the Will

 

Mitt Romney said of John Edwards, "This baloney when he says there are two Americas. There is only ONE America!" His eyes flash blue fire as he proclaims this--at a parish house in New Hampshire.

 

With his clean-cut good looks and piercing blue eyes, Mitt Romney is the poster child for soft-focus right-wing politics. He sounds disturbing echoes of another era, another movement all wrapped in a reasonable, soft-spoken manner.

Mitt Romney is courting Americas' working class for votes. The same working class craftsmen that made Mitt his platinum, gold and silver spoon he was born with. I highly doubt if Mitt ever did a hard days' work in his life. Being the C.E.O. of one of your families companys' doesn't count. One week you are Richard Nixon opposing abortion the next week you are the Dixie Chicks' pro abortion in certain circumstances. Lose the "gelled" look that Pat Riley of the Miami heat, John Travolta and Michael Douglas used to wear. It's about 10 years out of style. That tough guy look like DeNiros look in "Taxi Driver" "Are you talking to me"?

Mitt the Mormon mannequinned his way into a New Hampshire diner, looking like a Dewar’s ad come to life, and began to hold forth at one of those sanitized Candidate Meets The People pop-in photo-ops. Events that became a cliché sometime around the discovery of language.

Ah, but Mitt was so elegant, so poised, so altar boy-polite, with his patter about “sorry to interrupt” and something about not expecting to have a politician ruin your lunch, etc.

(Har. Har.)

You know, it was one of those scenes where all the people stared, starry-eyed, at the Famous Politician with the (choose one) glinting teeth/hair plugs/thousand-dollar suit, or more recently, the hint of cleavage. And Katie Couric looks oh-so-grave as she brings you five seconds of it on the evening news.

Republican candidates for President are saying the darndest things about the UN weapons inspectors who searched Iraq with a fine-toothed comb before Bush hastily pulled them out of Iraq just before unleashing his "shock and awe" attack on Baghdad on 3/19/03.

On the campaign trail, Mitt Romney repeatedly says Saddam Hussein never let those inspectors into Iraq:

Well, it's a setting that's almost a null set. Which is, if we knew that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, and if he had complied with the United Nations resolutions to allow IAEA inspectors into his country, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
