CNN had an article about the five things we learned from Iowa (caucus). Why can't the national press realize the one truth that Iowa confirmed. The entire Republican field is about as exciting as watching dead winter grass grow. The Republicans aren't going to lose because Obama is going to beat them, it is because they are unable to win. This country wants action, real concrete action and what still gives the Republicans a chance is that this country still doesn't have an idea of what it will take to fix this morass so if they can fool the people with noise they still have a chance. The problem is that walking white bread just doesn't excite this country anymore.
And well actually I think even Fox is realizing the problem above and is scrambling to put a positive spin on the Republican field and also divert attention with trumped up attacks on Obama by their gang of four commentators.
Romney actually has a chance to get more than 25% in New Hampshire, but Newt said the most telling thing this week when he said 3 out of 4 Republicans didn't vote for Romeny, but neither did 5 out of 6 vote for him. It is going to be interesting to watch come next August when 1100 + Republican delegates collectively vomit at their convention when they nominate Romney.
And really most of the time a President and Congress stalemated is best for this country, basically don't have too much going on, but special interest laws that benefit very little, but we have let too much special interest take over and put us in a situation where we need real action and a Congress that can unravel some of the special interest bullshit. Is either going to happen? Nope, so look forward to the street cleaners spending the day after the convention washing the streets with fire hoses to get all the bile into the sewers so things don't smell as bad as they really are.
Long live the Constitution, the constitution is dying. Or can the middle class figure out that they actually can take back this country with some effort. Like I always say and well documented by many others a strong middle class is a sign of a strong vibrant democracy and economy.
Had fun watching the Daily show with Jon Steward this evening. His show can be entertaining most of the time. And even Letterman has it together more than most News stations nowadays. Freedom of the press, hmmm it would help if they put some teeth into their questioning of the candidates on issues instead of making it too sacharine (yes ?sp). They act like they question, but it is either their platform they are espousing or the reporter is trying too hard to get the candidate to like them. Okay a few are worth some salt, but overall watching thirty minutes of TV coverage of anything political is like cutting your toenails, somethihing you dread doing until they get so long they are cutting into the skin so you end up having someone do it for you. Or something like that.
Okay I am tired and trying too hard this evening to say something simple. The Republicans are dull and listless, , the press is trying to find something to make exciting, and most of this country doesn't know what will work, including the people running for office and current President.
