Come on. Rooting for Romney Inc. is like rooting for Jay Leno. It’s like rooting for McDonald’s. Big, bloated, endorsed by many but ultimately lacking in any redeeming qualities.<\/p>\n

You think Horatio Alger would be rooting for Romney? Nevah! He’d find Obama’s narrative much more compelling, much more up from the bootstraps. Alger would hiss at Romney. <\/p>\n

Too bad Santoro couldn’t hang on at the wire in Ohio; rotten luck! It would have been a great entertainment to see Romney soil his sacred temple undergarments. Great Joseph Smith’s ghost! Romney is the political equivalent of an overhyped and vehemently hated 3-10 fave eking out the result by a nose. Just awful.<\/p>\n

We should make stuff up about how a Romney Administration would rip apart the basic fabric of Life in America As We Know It. We should start a campaign insinuating that he’s going to bring back Prohibition and that he’s preparing to outlaw cigarettes and coffee and cola and put the nation on a Mormon Standard. In the same way the Nat’l Rifle Ass’n. makes stuff up about how each Democrat officeholder is going to forcibly take away every last gun owner’s firearms, all the avowed Romney enemies should team up and start a grassroots campaign insisting that Romney is going to reinstitute Prohibition and ban the sale, purchase and consumption of nicotine and caffeine. That, and that he wants to introduce universal polygamy. Yeah. And that he wants to do a nationally televised, posthumous dual-baptism of R. Milhous Nixon & Ron W. Reagan. <\/p>\n

Thank you. Best wishes. Stock up now on your Chesterfields and Johnnie Walker and Jolt Cola. It’s all going away in eight months from today. Balls! There’s no gambling at all in Utah! What do these people do for fun? Eat plain Jell-O? See who can hit their conversion quotas the fastest? Compete for the straightest, whitest teeth on the block? Save pari-mutuel wagering in America, vote Anybody-But-Romney! Defend your inalienable American right to drink booze, enjoy tobacco, stay alert in the morning and practice monogamy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
