Iowa: Whatever
Jan 4th, 2012 | 6 responses
Yawn, talk to the hand, how about dem Bears? Almost any conversation would be more interesting than one state’s caucuses after months, MONTHS of listening to mostly petty rhetoric that has NO specifics all in one place about how to govern, truly help a suffering country.
And neither does the other side either. Tried to refinance lately? How about turning back a foreclosure? Tried to buy health insurance lately? It is HELL. Trust me on this. All talk from incumbent gov’t, but no go. No juice. Empty programs. Empty.
So, Iowa: Others agree that Iowa is like watching the toilet tank fill up with water…. by more than half… (see chart below from Fox News).
Maybe Iowa was interesting once. But now, I wouldnt care if it was dems or repubs… the lineup is like watching third string green shirts/ blue shirts hyped as ‘superbowl.’
That’s pathetic, and Iowa now, is like watching reruns, bad ones, over and over. And over. So over.
Re the ‘lineup, I feel like Mae West (lol)… For gosh sake, give me a REAL MAN!!
Dont even get me started about the so very few thoughtful women in politics. Or men.

Each had their run in the first place spot. Amazing primary IMO.
What does it all mean?
It means that registered Republican voters are more of an indicator of the health of the Republican Party than the candidates are…
The Republican Party is ill.
OF course the winner tonight was Obama. R’s simply don’t like Romney – but I think we all know he will be the candidate. Santorum is just another flash in the pan for an ailing GOP.
Isn’t the big news the Democratic caucus? I mean Obama won! Oh wait… that was the big news four years ago. Now it’s just the same ol’, same ol’.
Honestly…the only thing that I find relevant about the Iowa political process is the Dem caucus, which I find completely twisted and undemocratic.
What does it all mean? Hmmm. There was one candidate who has consistently been acceptable to about a quarter of Republicans, and remains so. One other has maybe 10%, will keep them, and might have similar crossover appeal. The rest were liked very much in their turn. Once the public got to know them and figured out that they’re all just awful, they turned away from them, one by one. When getting to know Republicans means hating them, I’d say the R’s have a problem.
The only way Obama can win is if the other side puts up a truly weak candidate. Things are looking pretty darn good for the Big O this year…
