\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the new environment of rampant voter fraud our electoral objectives become more circumscribed.\u00a0 Attempting to win elections in places like Pennsylvania and Arizona seems already to be too problematic to get excited about.\u00a0 But Utah might still work.\u00a0 So, with that in mind I have selected the primarying of Mittens Romney as the blood sport event of 2023\/24.<\/p>\n

And it should be a lot of fun.\u00a0 Romney has already put his best foot forward with the gay marriage bill that he surrendered to.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be necessary to dig into ancient history to identify his sins against normalcy.\u00a0 They\u2019re constantly appearing.\u00a0 Not knowing much about Utah\u2019s politics, I can\u2019t say for sure whether this will be a tough fight but the reward is so high that it\u2019s impossible to forego the challenge.\u00a0 Surely some champion will step forward and flatten Mitt with a right cross to his glass jaw.<\/p>\n

I have been forced to observe Mitt Romney for over twenty-eight years, ever since his failed senate campaign in Massachusetts back in 1994.\u00a0 In a state like Massachusetts an actual conservative hasn\u2019t a snowball\u2019s chance in hell of being elected to state wide office.\u00a0 Only a spineless creature like Mitt could possibly end up as a Massachusetts Republican governor.\u00a0 But Mitt managed it handily.\u00a0 And he dutifully absorbed the slaps and kicks that the legislature and press rewarded him with.\u00a0 And he never fought back.\u00a0 He was the perfect whipping boy.<\/p>\n

And he has never failed to display his true qualities.\u00a0 He\u2019s duplicitous, servile and based on his own words without any conservative convictions.\u00a0 The character from literature that he most reminds me of is Charles Dickens’ villain, Uriah Heep.\u00a0 He displays humility and obsequity but in reality, he has nothing but contempt for the voters of his own party that he claims to represent.\u00a0 And deceit is his standard operating procedure.<\/p>\n

During the 1994 race Romney was quoted as saying he had no qualms about taking the pro-abortion position.\u00a0 This while claiming to be a devout member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints that to this day condemns the practice.\u00a0 It should be rather easy to push the religious fraction of the Utah electorate away from old Mitt just based on that.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure all the recent immigrants from California in Salt Lake City will vote for Mitt, even if they have to temporarily re-register as Republicans to vote in the primary.\u00a0 But it seems to me that such a worthy undertaking as kicking Mitt to the curb should be embraced wholeheartedly by all Deplorables wherever they abide.<\/p>\n

It’s apparent after the latest demonstration of the failure of Republicans to win at the ballot box that there is no such thing as a sure thing for conservatives in America.\u00a0\u00a0 We are embedded in a country that is riddled with progressives and their useful idiots.\u00a0 But still, it\u2019s important for us to try and enjoy ourselves when there is the possibility of harpooning anything as exciting as the Great White Whale, Moby Mitt.\u00a0 Booting him out of his senate seat in the primary is just too wonderful to omit.\u00a0 If any of you have personal knowledge of Utah politics and can share your insights, I\u2019d be very grateful to hear them.\u00a0 Hell, I might even donate to the cause, it\u2019s that exciting.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m sure Mitt Romney probably has some good points. \u00a0His wife and children may like him, maybe.\u00a0 Maybe even that dog that he strapped to the roof of his car might have liked him, maybe.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t have to like him.\u00a0 And we shouldn\u2019t feel bad wanting to sending him packing.\u00a0 He\u2019s a billionaire and a phony who pretends to be on our side.\u00a0 That\u2019s reason enough to want him gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
