While Summer of 2012 sizzles over the arid land, summer-before-election thoughts simmer in the shade.
In August while home-from-school children cool off with popsicles down at the municipal pool, and while pompous senators force envelope licking on unlucky neighbours, how many spin technicolour dreams of being campaign managers during Mitt Romney’s presidential bid?
From the Wish I Were Mitt’s Campaign Manager August dreams:
When Mitt is press-pummeled to “come clean” on his income tax papers, his answer to the pesky press: “I’m not answering any questions”. I got the idea from your friend Obama and please be sure to convey my thanks to him.”
When he’s asked for the trillionth time: “What about that dog on your car roof?” His best retort would be, “That was a one-of-a-time occasion, but lots of dogs have been registered to vote for Obama”.
As certain as corn is dying on the husk in the current drought, the media will demand to know how little Mittens did in school. The answer: “Much better than Mr. Obama if only because at least I was there in attendance.”
In sure-to-come attacks on Romney’s religion, the answer couldn’t be more simple: “Most folks don’t see Mormons as monsters but they do see Marxists as ones.”
If harassed again about his wife Ann’s $990 Reed Krakoff shirt, Mitt could always inform the lame-stream media: “No contest. My wife, like most women her age, would never try to compete with the younger, more fashion conscious Kate Middleton with whom there could not possibly be a contest.”
He could remind investigative reporters that while Michelle Obama’s ego entered a J. Mendel, cap-sleeved $6,800 jacket in the Olympics to show off her toned upper arms, Ann Romney only entered her horse, Rafalca.
How should Mitt handle Harry Reid? By simply stating the truth: “Senator Reid keeps bringing up the unfounded rumour of me not having paid income tax for 10 years in the Senate because it is only in the Senate where he is protected against my litigation.”
“What about Bain Capital?” Mr. Romney.
“We got there on our own. There was no Valerie Jarrett’s father-in-law, Vernon working behind the scenes to push us to the top. The government didn’t build Bain Capital, the Internet, or any other successful operation that provided thousands of jobs.”
It’s got to be the joke of all time, that the man who made it all the way to the White House in the country he so loves to hate without releasing any valid proof of his past, would demand poodle-pedigrees from his first serious Opposition.
It’s called Astroturfing and astroturfing gets its oxygen from the same place that George Clooney gets his.
The Number One Strategy of the Mitt Romney campaign should be to turn the tables on Obama, whose Marxist strategies have been working to turn the tables on America for a long-suffering three and a half years.
Obama and minions, like Elizabeth Warren, are hiding under a big heap of worthless paper and dwindling wampum.
Even the slightest breeze from the right direction could blow their worthless paper, scattering it up against the barbed wire fences keeping more valuable livestock that actually feed people in farmers' fields.
