A Tale of Two Phonies

I predict that McCain will lose the Republican vote but still carry Mich in tonight’s “Republican primary.” Whoa Nelly! How can that be? Because the Mich Republican Party, like the New Hampshire Republican Party, is willing to let Independents and Democrats pick the Republican candidate.

That’s how Democrat lite McCain won last year’s primaries in those states. To compound the problem for conservative Americans, the Dems don’t have anyone on the ballot in Mich besides the Shrillda Beast. Given she is a certain winner, Dem are more likely to stray in and cast a ballot for the member of their party running in the Republican primary - McCain.

OK fine. There is no way to change the process now. But all of the pundits are claiming that Romney is through if doesn’t win tonight. Odd, isn’t it, that four states into a 50 state process, the guy with the most Republican votes would be considered out of the Republican primary. Some might call such a system broken.

Now McCain is upping the ante. In Mich he’s claiming to be the Conservative. He says, “I am pro-life, pro-defense, anti-regulation, anti-taxes, by any conservative measure you have." You’re also the most anti-First Amendment, pro open borders, pro environmental whacko by any measure Lex has. And if you’re so anti-tax, why did vote AGAINST the Bush tax cuts?

So conservatives are caught between a Rockhead (McCain) and a Huckster (Huckabee). Romney and Thompson are fracturing the conservative vote so that McCain can sweep to victory on the backs of Independents and Democrats. According to the MSM, Romney is out if he doesn’t win Mich and Thompson is out if he doesn’t win SC. Rudy’s done if doesn’t win FL. That’ll leave conservatives with a choice between McCain and Huckabee.

Now I know how Brittney Spears’ kids feel, forced to choose between two irresponsible phonies.

Having lived in Michigan for several years I can say that when times were good the state was very eager to tax and spend. Now that their economy is in shambles the state's new ecomonic plan is to tax and spend. Brillant! If a Category 5 hurricane does not hit Detroit what can Michiganders expect from Washington? It should expect the same conditions that Pelosi, Reid, and the democrats put on the Iraqi government. First, prove you can govern effectively and decrease the gang violence. After all how long do we need to be in Michigan/Iraq? 10 years...20 years?
The democrats run Michigan. It will go for the democratic candidate in the general election. Whoever the republican candidate he should follow the democrats advice on Iraq/Michigan. That being to end the surge and pull out immediately. Eventually the Michigan voters will begin their own stimulus package. Much like the South did in the 1980's after the peanut farmer/president from Georgia took us to 22% interest rates. They voted for Ronny. Could this be the year for Mitt-Ronny in Michigan? They need to re-think their ecomonic situation. Maybe Reid-Pelosi can call in the U.N. to fix it like they have recommended time and again in the Middle East. Michigan is in deep hubcaps and better start stocking up on U-Haul trailers or get serious about being competitive.
