Meet the challenge

In a time of endless troubles
When the nation is sunk in despair
Who will lend a steady hand
To the stalled ship of state?
Barack Obama has the confidence to try
Who will stand by his side?
Will it be you or I?
Some will respond, some not
When the troubles are history
When the economy is restored
When we enjoy freedom and democracy unfettered
Will you be able to proclaim?
I stood by Barack’s side
I met the challenge
I am proud of the part I played
I was a defender of the nation.

Concede

Since the GOP lacks viable candidates, I think that their best strategy would be to concede the election to the team of Obama/Biden. The GOP is a minority party and does best with a sparse voter turnout. One way to ensure a low turnout by independents and Democrats would be to concede the office of president. Then GOP candidates might do better in down-ticket contests.

I’d like to offer some advice to my friends on the Right. Stick to the truth; your arguments will be more convincing if they are not hidden in a haystack of lies, distortions and misleading statements. If you must vent your frustrations, please don’t publish them on-line. And spelling counts. If you want to convince the undecided, a few well-chosen words will go further than pages and pages of tripe. Most people skim web articles. If you insist on great length, forget about being read or influencing voters to see your point of view. That’s what the web is all about, quality information.

ABM, Anyone But Mitt, is what the severe conservatives of the GOP base (maybe 10%)  want in a candidate.  The 1% support Mitt Romney as their chosen attack system to destroy a second Obama term. Think of Romney as a missile, an ICBM. The ABM is the anti-Romney missile. Earlier versions of the ABM, the Pawlenty missile, the Bachmann, the Cain and the Gingrich have fizzled on the launch pad. Now the 10% have invested all their hopes and prayers in the Santorum missile from the missile division of the Foster Freeze Corp. Coming off their minor successes in the Midwest, the 10% are hoping for a knockout blow in their next test in Michigan. They plan to launch the Santorum from a base in Pennsylania and intercept the Romney launch from a converted auto factory in Michigan. The test is scheduled for February 28, 2012, if there are no mechanical delays.

The Roman god Janus had two faces, one facing front and one facing backwards. Did it help him? I don’t know. Having two faces, one facing front and a mask facing backwards, helps the poor peasants of Bangladesh stay alive in tiger country. Tigers prefer to attack humans from the rear. If they believe that you see them before they charge, they will often seek other prey.

Did you know that tigers love the water and will swim out at night to attack fisherman in small boats.
