Newt called

Wow, is TPP popular!  Newt called.  Who knew he was still around?  At any rate, Newt is angry and outraged, and just plain pissed, and every loyal 'Mercan should be too, because the gumint just isn't telling us the "truth" Newt wants to hear about Bengazi.  Bengazi?  Really, Newt?  This is the hot button item that got you so upset that you decided to call everyone in the USA personally?  Let's see, the FBI thing fizzled.  So what else we got to beat on Obama about?  Anything substantial?  Any issue of real importance?  No.  So let's go back to Bengazi and see if by repeating things enough they change or people forget.  No wonder they picked Newt to carry this ball.  He's yesterday's news too.  But it didn't even take this long to figure out that like Rick, Newt's monologue could continue on without me. Wonder how many of these calls it will take to use up all the money the Koch brothers have given the GnOPe?  That many?  Groan. 

Rick called

Rick Sanctimonious called.  He wanted to tell me how outraged he was.  Lots of things outrage Rick, and mostly it would seem it's people's freedom to do things that Rick doesn't like, and there are lots of things Rick doesn't like.  Rick was hoping that the people he was calling were outraged enough at what he was telling us that some money might be "invested"  in his cause.  It was nice of Rick to call, so best be polite.  When he's done TPP will pick up the telephone from the kitchen counter, disinfect it, and then hang it up.  Sounds like Rick may be going on for awhile, and you want him to get his money's worth, but since it's a pretty one-sided call, he didn't actually need me to keep listening. Hello?  Hello?  Wonder if Rick got my message? 

Mitt called - The Phactor is feeling popular!

Mitt called.  He wants my vote.  In fact he’s called at least 3 times.  He said that if the Phactor stayed on the line my questions could be part of an online town hall meeting.  Too bad it would have interrupted my annual St. Pat’s corned beef dinner.  In the first call Mitt reminded me what a terrible person Rick Sanctimonious was, and how Rick had actually vote funding for Planned Parenthood (but only because it was buried in a bill with lots of other worthwhile things).  The Phactor was unaware that Rick had ever done one single worthwhile thing, so unfortunately for Mitt, point Rick. Planned Parenthood is a great organization.  It is too bad we did not get a chance to chat.  Mitt’s views on getting so much support from very rich people, who think they don’t get enough voice in our country, and from corporate people, who think they don’t get enough voice in our country, but are getting more and more, would be interesting because why would they be supporting him if they did not think a president like Mitt would help the rich and powerful and the corporate persons?  And if they are right, then voting for Mitt would be like hosing yourself, fiscally, politically.  So wish he could have explained how his concept of democracy works.  It might have been interesting to ask how anyone knows what Mitt actually stands for having changed his position on so many issues so many times.  How does one know when a politician is pandering, saying what they think you want to hear just to get your vote, or when they actually are being sincere?  Of course anyone from the northeast or upper Midwest who tries to say “Y’all”, or says they like cheesy grits, is pandering, period.  So unfortunately Mitt is the least trustworthy of all the GnOPe candidates, but somehow the most reasonable?  What does that say about the other 3?  However, this year’s corned beef was superb.
