Sorry, but for all the media coverage of yesterday's caucus in Iowa, I'm having a real tough time giving a fuck. I understand that a close election between President Obama and whatever joke of a candidate takes the republican nomination will be worth millions of dollars to the traditional media, but it's really going to take a strong stomach to withstand the puke that will come from the traditional media to make it so.
Let's face it: the top three candidates from yesterday's vote in Iowa are equally pathetic. Romney is a pampered rich boy with all the character of a wet fart. Santorum is so far to the right he's falling over the cliff (not to mention he's the Catholic Church's fave--enough reason to vote Obama just on that point alone). I know he makes the republican primaries interesting at least for a while, but here's Kos on Santorum as the nominee: "If Santorum is the nominee, Obama romps to reelection, we take the House and have a good chance of holding the Senate. This is a guy that barely got 41 percent of the vote in his 2006 reelection campaign in swing-state Pennsylvania. And he's freakin' nuts. It's our best-case scenario." In other words, not going to happen. And Ron Paul? I don't even need a link--the mother fucker is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
On the bright side, President Obama reminded us today of why he won in 2008--his people run a hell of a campaign. His recess appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three new members to the NLRB serves the double purpose of taking attention away from the republican's caucus yesterday as well as feed into the meme of protecting the 99% from the 1%. Doesn't hurt to feed the Dem base a little red meat, either.
Republicans, schmepublicans. More good news on the Democratic Party, please. It makes my day so much more pleasant.
Peace,
emaycee
