Take off your Mitts

so, another republican presidential candidate is gone. yay. Mitt from the Mitten bailed on his bid for the white house after sinking about $35 million of his own dough into his campaign. i love seeing rich white guys like him fail. (aside: did you see the video of him pandering to black kids, complimenting their "bling bling?" rated super highly on the unintentional comedy scale).

but the funniest thing to me about this--other than the republicans are now depending on Father Time to win the oval office--is how quickly politicians on both sides of the aisle will reverse course once their 15 minutes are up.

in every campaign, whether for a local or state seat, the governor's chair, or a party nom for the presidency, the candidates lob insults at one another and paint each other in the worst light possible....even though they're from the same party.

Mr. Mormon Mitt from the Mitten went so far as to call old man mccain "virtually indistinguishable" from billary and obamamama. he went further to state that in any race involving a republican parading as a democrat (mcplain) and a democrat (billary and obamamama), the democrat would win every time.

despite this, upon realizing that he'd not last to fulfill joseph smith's vision of running the country, romney bailed from the race and promptly threw his allegiance, and endorsement as it were, behind mccain simply because he had an "R" behind his name.

politicians have no shame. and in this particular race, the one that has seen the most amount of money ever spent by candidates, each flip flop, every waver and a singular hesitation is magnified. the Man Who Would Be "Glove" succumbed to the pressure of the microscope and retreated the friendly confines of his political party room. billary and obamamama will surely do the same.

ahhh, democracy.
