The Neo-Fascism party, aka “the current version of the Republican Party”, strikes (or attempts to strike) again!

No matter, O’bammy the Hafrican will win again.

In a landslide.

The only question left (since the US Senate will remain in Democratic control for 2013) is whether Twit Romney and Paul Lyin will so alienate plain folks that they will allow the Democrats to retake the US House — stay tuned.

Since Twit Romney has such a penchant for singing (off-key, no less), here’s a little riff on a song that he can break out into song any time now:

“Oh, the states dwindle down, to a precious few.

Virginia, North Carolina.

And it’s a long, long way, to get elected, and I’ll be damned, if I get there…”

What I said several MONTHS ago still stands:

NOT.
GONNA.
BE.
CLOSE.

Take it to the InTrade bank.

Just read a story about a Zogby (JZ Analytics) poll showing Obama with a surprising seven point (49-42%) lead among NASCAR fans.

In the same poll, Romney had a 7 point lead among born again Christians and a slim lead among Wal-Mart shoppers.

I kid you not! They actually do polls on this stuff.

Re: 12

Very true. An ACTING AG whose AG-ship is known for one particular ACT.

Just for the hell of it, Robert Bork was ACTING Attorney General for a little less than two months.

“But corrupt? I don’t agree.”

Fast and Furious

New Black Panther Party

But maybe you’re right, John. It’s difficult to say whether some of his actions are corrupt or simply incompetent.

Re: #8

Already ramping up the 2016 anti-Hillary campaign, are we?

Holder, “the most incompetent and corrupt AG in history:

You speak of the man who was appointed D.C. Superior Court judge by Ronald Reagan. You won’t be surprised that I don’t entirely agree with your view of Holder.

Lest you think I lack objectivity, some of the best AG’s have been Republicans: Brownell and Rogers under IKE and Thornburgh under Reagan/Bush.

But so have some of the worst: John Mitchell (only one to go to prison); Robert Bork (Saturday Night Massacre); Ed Meese (resigned for role in Wedtech scandal; and Alberto Gonzalez (’nuff said).

On the Dem side: Good ones: RFK (speaks well for nepotism); Nick Katzenbach and Ramsey Clark (good as AG; far lefty afterwards). Bad ones (two of Woodrow Wilson’s three AG’s (racist, anti-semitic, corrupt, real stinkers).

I would call Holder undistinguished and a mixed bag. Not the heavy hitter I would have hoped for Obama to appoint. There were many far better choices. But corrupt? I don’t agree. He enabled the Marc Rich pardon, but that was before he was AG. On the other hand, he played a key roll in the Justice department in putting Dan Rostenkowski behind bars and in prosecuting the Congressional post office scandal.

Anyway, Holder is leaving in January, whether Obama wins or loses. If Obama wins — Kamala Harris or Jennifer Granholm. I would hope for the latter.

After reviewing this thread, I have to apologize. I confess that I fell victim to the irresistible temptation that several other readings of this blog have, namely, assuming that “scintillating” back and forth between two readers is interesting to other readers. I suspect that’s not the case. When I witness such tit for tat on other subjects, I struggle to not doze off. I fear that many readers have been napping during my recent exchange with JohnW. Well, this is their wake-up call. Time to move on. I for one will try to limit my give and take in the future. I know there are many other readers who would love to get a word in edge wise.

” We will learn from any mistakes and make adjustments accordingly, as we always do.”

The first thing we should do is find a very large bus and throw Hillary under it.

And then find another one for Holder, the most incompetent and corrupt AG in history.
