Rope-a-Doping Republicans

Is it just me or does it feel like this Republican Presidential Campaign is off key? One expected a fire in the belly of those who see nothing but the destruction of this nation. The coming together of a group of Americans, more American than all the rest, stepping up to save the world, one state at a time.
Instead we got a group of radicals determined to make others bow to their every whim and destroy those who were not willing to bow and say "yesa masa’. We got a Republican Nominee who was us to choose him for the highest job in the land but refuse to take the steps necessary to get the job. He wants us to hire him based on what he says on any given day but not willing to allow us to look under the hood and kick the tires. Reminds me of a used car salesman who refuses to show us the "car fax".

His surrogates step to the microphone and repeat whatever lie they were given to say without regards for their own integrity. Thought we wanted people with convictions in those seats but even Abraham Lincoln thought that anyone who repeats something and fails to correct it are guilty of a "falsehood". So how convicted can one be if you repeat a lie, knowing it’s a lie. Is honor and integrity no longer a requirement to even serve in public office?

Then you have the spokespersons, answering questions about their guy with answers about his opponent. Ask them a question about what they came on to talk about and they spin it to always focus on the other guy. I imagine that’s great for the other guy because his name become more familiar with the voters when they walk into the booth than their guy. And surely there cannot be that much hate for him because they are willing to put their guy in office who will give him a huge tax break like the friends they work for.
Then comes the outside groups calling them selves "Patriots". Choosing people who plainly state that they are about nothing but to drown the baby in the bath. They are about going to Washington, not to help fix our broken system but to break it even more. These Tea Party Pretenders only managed to achieve their status because those who know better chose to sit on their hands during the mid-term election like some spoiled kids who couldn’t get their way on the playground.

Yeah, looks like the Republicans are laying back and taking the hits, hoping that the hitter will run out of steam and grow tired. That the public will get so fed up with all the lies being batted about on both sides that they stay home. Leaning against the ropes because they don’t even try to hide the stealing of this election and the massive amount of money available to them makes them even more courageous . One can only hope that soon the "real" majority will wake up soon and realize that the soul of a nation will never be sold to the highest bidder but won by the lesser of us.
