SUPER TUESDAY: TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT FOR A FEW HOURS

It amazes me, with all the need for money and help among the poor, MSNBC called out all its big guns for several hours to pretend they knew which way the political wind is blowing.  Newt Gingrich did win his home state but has won little else.  Romney took a few more states but lost Tennessee to Santorum.  Tennessee was going to be, hopefully, Romney's entrance to the South.  It is not to be.

To the sound of many cheers, Callista Gingrich introduced her husband at his victory speech as "former speaker of the House and the next President, N-e-e-w-w-t Gingrich!" . It reminded me of Ed McMann with "Here's Johnny!"   Of course we know that each candidate is introduced as the next president and, obviously,. only one can make it.  If there is a higher power looking over it all, I say to it, "Okay, enough of the joke.  Be serious and let the average people get a taste of what America was supposed to be before it got taken over by the Grinch.

His speech was boring as he, the historian,  went step by step through the entire months of campaign and all the corpses left behind.  He commented that Santorum won Oklahoma and Tennessee, the two states no one else bothered to campaign in.  Gingrich also commented on 'every effort the establishment made to stop us',  He thanked his people for having thwarted that effort.

The same lies get passed around as someone else's 'truth'.  Santorum's  victory speech, (either for Oklahoma or Tennessee), was as full of untruths as it usually is.  Having fathered enough children to start a small country of his own, they were all surrounding him. 

When Romney came to speak, he promised the world and everything in it to his supporters.  While talking budget, he listed enough expenditures and tax savings to quickly show any intelligent person that it is impossible math he is doing.  He promised to work on saving their jobs but not his own.  He promises tax cuts to everyone and, if fools believe him and vote him in, only then will they understand the empty promises. He is full of easily expressed plans, none of which he, in fact, describes as to how they work in practice even if he can get the House and Senate to approve them.

Finding it all depressing I made myself feel better with the conviction that the black and white man is the one who wears the true white hat and has delivered more in Presidency than McConnell is happy about..
