Romney?! Do I HAVE to?!
A damn black guy for 4 more years or a member of a religious cult in the White House? Such is the dilemma facing conservatives in 2012. It’s actually quite an interesting sociological study into the prejudices that so strongly control the Right.
That racism is deeply ingrained in the conservative movement is, of course, without question. The Birther “controversy” alone is concrete proof of the rabid hatred of Obama for not being white. Don’t believe me? Next time you come across one of these imbeciles, politely ask them how, since his mother was indisputably American, he is not one as well? She could have given birth in the middle of Soviet Russia and he would still be an American because his mother was. When they whine about his father being Kenyan, ask them, still politely, to provide the United States law that says a child born to an American and a citizen of another country is not an American.
At this point, the cursing will begin, they’ll block you or just pretend you never asked such a simple question. Go ahead! Try it! It’s funny as hell.
So, that’s the problem with the black guy: he’s freaking black! Throw in a dash of race mixing and you have the Right Wing bigots’ worst nightmare: A smart, charismatic, successful, far from poor, half white, half not angry black man sitting in the WHITE House.
The Mormon is a little more problematic and it’s going to be extremely difficult to speak in code about it. Mormonism is not a “mainstream” subset of Christianity. But there are still millions of Mormons in this country and they are as fervent in their beliefs as Michele Bachmann is in her husbands’ heterosexuality.
Yet, they are a tiny “cult” in comparison to “mainstream” Christianity and they have some truly divergent beliefs. But how do you attack Mitt Romney for being “different” without exposing yourself as a religious bigot? After all, Jews don’t even believe Jesus is the son of God. It doesn’t get much more divergent than that, yet the Right Wing simply adores the Jewish people! They always leave out the part where all the Jews are killed by a wrathful Jesus upon his Second Coming but, until then? BFFs!!!
But that deeply ingrained hatred of the “other” is so hard to overcome and Mormonism is so fundamentally different that the thought of electing one is making the faithful on the Right gag. Why do you think they are begging for someone, ANYONE, more palatable to enter the race, even at this late date?
As of right now, Mitt Romney is the obvious choice for the Republican nominee to run against Obama next year. Rick Perry is flaming out on stage as he’s revealed to be such an intellectual lightweight that even the “I’d drink a beer with him” crowd is shying away. Michele Bachmann is handicapped by having a uterus since the incredibly misogynistic Right will elect her about as quickly as they would Herman Cain, who had the misfortune of being born black. On the upside, both Bachmann and Cain will provide conservatives with enough material to falsely claim that they don’t hate women and blacks for decades even as they privately refer to them as the “cooz and the coon.”
That leaves Romney uncontested in a field of bleh.
So that’s going to be the choice: The black guy or the Mormon.
Who will the Right hate more? Will they despise Obama so much that they will hold their nose and vote for a Mormon? Or will they be so disgusted at the idea that they’ll just sit the election out?
How can you not be utterly fascinated by this peek inside the cesspool that is the collective conservative mind? I know I am!
Feel free to tell me what a terrible person I am on Facebook here (public) or here (not so public) or follow me on Twitter @FilthyLbrlScum. Share and Tweet the love.
This is their (RWN) main attraction to distract us (Main Stream Americans)! And Cain’s starring role is to perform this big circus act well enough to keep himself treading water through this fake elimination process of the Right Wing Nuts. Their reward to Cain is a promise to push his book to the best sellers list. What a pitiful attempt by the GOP T Party at trying to SHAME America into NOT re-electing the Black President. Frankly I think their strategy is failing them badly and they are all being further exposed for the racist, greedy power-hungry Mafia Party they truly are!
My bet is with Main Stream America, to re-elect the Grown up Black Man to finish cleaning up the mess they left when they drove us into the ditch and to provide this President with even stronger support as they ask him to continue keeping us safe while Leading us through this tsunami!
THE MADNESS…how soon they forget who really got us here. At least their rhetoric and spin wants us to believe they forgot!
We must keep our eye on the ball…
DON’T DRINK THE TEA POISON!
There is a Right Wing T-Poison Epidemic-it’s contagious & fatal. Your Only Shot of Prevention is: VOTE PROGRESSIVELY BLUE ALL THE WAY 2012 OBAMA/BIDEN! Losing is NOT AN OPTION!
Oh wow…yet another liberal rag decrying anyone right-as-center as a racist bigot. News Flash: not everyone who isn’t a libtarded moonbat doubts Obama’s birth certificate. I can’t stand the birthers either. My problem with Obama is his policies, not his skin color. That’s why so many like me would prefer Cain over Obama. Heck, we’d prefer a rock over Obama.
And I personally don’t care about a person’s religious beliefs when it comes to running for office. If a blood –drinking Satanist has a good economic or foreign policy, I’d vote for him, provided he did his job and didn’t force his religious beliefs through law. That makes me more tolerant than libtards like you who won’t vote for Ron Paul because he doubts evolution, even though his foreign and economic policy is what this country desperately needs!
First, YOUR party made a huge deal out of his birth certificate. HUGE! You can try and claim that it was some little fringe minority but we both know, for a fact, that it wasn’t. After Obama released it most of you slunk away like the craven dogs you are and pretended you never said a thing about it. Kind of like how most of you try to pretend you didn’t vote for Bush twice. Too bad we’ve got it all on video tape. Your party embraced the Birthers wholeheartedly and without reservation. Suck it up and own your stupidity.
As for the racism? Southern Strategy. You entire political movement has been predicated on racism since the 1960s. This is not conjecture. Your own party leaders admit this willingly. Keep denying it/ we’ve got the tape for that, too.
As for Mitt’s religion, if you don’t think it’s going to be something his opponents on the right won’t attack ceaselessly until the primaries, you are in for a very rude surprise. Come back in a few months when the primaries get going and it gets ugly. Then you can tell me how his religion won’t matter. I’ll bet you $50 it comes up on a regular basis about how “different” he is.
Don’t feel bad. You’re a conservative and you guys really don’t put much stock into concepts like “thinking” and “intelligence” so I understand why this is so difficult for you to grasp.
