Romney - Hearts and Minds

Here's the roundup of him working like heck to piss off as many people off as possible:

• New York Times - Romney campaign ropes off reporters. Secret Service says it's not for security. When they try to get out of their little "area", a Romney worker puts her arms out and says we're not doing this, whatever that means. Read the whole article to get a sense of the crazy we'll be experiencing with this Goldman man. A sample:

Mr. Romney’s team has a traveling press secretary, Rick Gorka, but he is rarely willing or able to speak on the record. On Wednesday afternoon, in a conciliatory gesture, Mr. Romney did something unusual: he walked to the back of a campaign plane and spoke briefly with reporters.

He joked about what he had said beyond their earshot: “You should see all the things we are saying in private, though, really.” When asked if it was his decision to try to keep the press off the rope line, he replied that he was “just watching, just watching.”

• Because the Romney campaign did not like what happened in Nevada, they're taking their toys and going home to their new and improved GOP. They're setting up a shadow Nevada Republican Party. Regular readers of this blog will see the irony in Romney setting up a shadow GOP to go along with his shadow government, controlled by the megabanks for the last 100 years. When manipulating and controlling the poor fools at the local level fails, just go around the process and make your own. With billions in funny money, you can afford it. From the Las Vegas Sun:

Fed up with an inept and self-destructive GOP apparatus in Nevada, the Republican National Committee and the Mitt Romney campaign have decided to erect a “shadow state party” in this critical swing state, sources confirmed today.

“They are still bogged down in the minutiae of whether Romney will be the presumptive nominee,” scoffed a GOP strategist familiar with the details of the restructuring. “We don’t have time for that when the Obama campaign already is in full campaign mode. We have no use for them (the state GOP).”
The lack of faith in the Republican Party here intensified with the botched February caucus, metastasized after the Ron Paul takeover in Sparks and reached its zenith with Tuesday evening’s call for RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to resign by a divided Clark County GOP.

Yeah they're not all viva la r3volution. hee, hee.

• The Bible says if you have aught with your brother, then go to him, and you've got to admit that's what Luke Rudowski does (anybody that goes up to David Rockefeller at his house and says we're going to defeat the New World Order has my respect.) - 

Anyhow, this little video proves that Mitt is totally in bed with the banksters but lies to you with a big smile.

• Socialist Bernie Sanders says that Obama and Mitt are no different, as they're being funded by the same people. While I don't recommend his socialist solutions, he accurately pinpoints the heart of what is wrong in this country. Six financial institutions (megabanks) have assets equaling 2/3 of US GDP. Translation: this isn't a country, its a company and Congress, the military, etc. are just middle management.

• Liberal Robin Koerner, of Blue Republican fame admits that its Romney's race to lose, but explains how he will do it:

Romney's support has proven so shallow and Paul's so deep that, all over the country, at GOP meetings in which delegates are selected to represent a county at the state convention or a state at the national convention, there are too many Paulites in the room to allow pro-Romney party officials to get their favored slates pushed through without underhanded shenanigans. This is having important effects. The most immediately important of these is that, in states where delegates are bound to vote for the candidate who won the state's primary vote (often Romney), the delegates who care enough to actually participate in the process are Paul supporters, and they are selecting Paul-favoring delegates. For example, whereas of the 28 delegates that Nevada will be sending to Tampa, eight are bound to Paul and 20 are bound to Romney, 14 of Romney's 20 are really Ron Paul supporters who'd only be voting for Romney because they are "bound" to. And in Colorado, where 14 delegates are bound to Romney, and only two to Paul, what the official numbers don't say is that the 16 uncommitted are probably all Paul supporters.

For a man that's been running for president for the past 4-6 years, spending millions of bucks, you'd think he'd have more of a nationwide network. Instead, he'd just relying on the mass psychology foundation that has been laid by generations previous. That is, you have to vote for a D or R. If the media says that those are your choices, then those are your choices idiots - got it???! This seems to be working with the older folks who use FoxNews and MSNBC to keep them company all day. Some of us, however,  ain't taking no more &^$ off these people and see them for what they are - criminals who'll buy up (fill-in-the-blank: Congress, Republican/Democratic state and local parties) to get their way. The fix was in for Romney here in Tennessee before the primary season got going, our governor supporting Romney, and the TN state convention is all in for Romney, even though Santorum "won" Tennessee.

In just about every single state delegate convention where there was actual citizen participation, Romney folks have been flabbergasted by resistance to voting for their  man. Now some of you might say that its those dirty Ron Paul supporters making scenes causing all this ruckus. What is actually is, is Romney folks not following Roberts Rules and when it's brought to their attention from the floor (yes by a Ron Paul supporter) they wig out and act crazy. You see it's the Paul supporter fault for insisting on the rules, which are supposed to create order. You know I could write a blog around the subject, "everything I learned about politics, I learned in church" where I have experience with Robert's Rules and cliques who'd just assume that everything would be automatically voted their way. When you don't, things get ugly. I'm definitely seeing that same dynamic at work here.
