In reply to the discussion: Newt Gingrich wins South Carolina primary [View all]Guilded Lilly
(5,591 posts)Ah, one of the most disgusting, negative candidates has won in a state whose twisted conservative dirty campaign tactics is well documented and pretty much ridiculed by the rest of the country. So now we give the Newtant attention whore plenty of attention while the smart, knowing voters of this country can sit back and smile because this is rather Much Ado About Nothing in the long run but feeds into the Reality Show mentality of the drama obsessed media and the trash-talk loving sheeples of America!
But...this whole primary is more than a circus. It is a dangerous, calculated process to try and insure a brokered convention.
The Republican powers-that-be know the existing candidates are a pathetic joke. They pull strings and promote ludicrous press and watch while they try to guarantee that there will not be enough votes on the first ballot of the convention and all *earned* delegates (you know the ones chosen by the PEOPLE) are let loose to change their votes, superdelegates (NOT representing the people, but specifically The Party) step up and in, and behind closed doors they decide who will be THEIR chosen candidate...successfully eliminating the PEOPLE"s voice and desires.
This Republican Party has absolutely no interest in what the people want or need. In fact, they hold the citizens in sneering contempt. The nation is being classically played so that the elitist and souless greed masters of politics can rule their tawdy power-obsessed world.
Obama and liberal lovers, just try to breathe deep, because we haven't seen the tip of the ugliness and stupidity iceberg yet. Maybe we should take the next few months to subscribe to Netflix and catch up on some great old, well written TV shows....like West Wing
