It ain't the Mormon thing, it's the Mammon thing.

This republican ticket is actually Midas and Rand. They aren't worshipping Jesus, instead they sacrifice at the altar of the Golden Calf. Their view of America is from their Gated Mansions. Their campaign has to be based on outright lies and blatant distortions because if Trailer Park America, their core constituency, ever figured out what these rich fuckers were actually up to they would have their heads on pikes paraded down the shuttered remnants of main street in a heart beat.

1. Not a bad bumper sticker.

Midas & Rand
It's not the Mormon thing;
It's the Mammon thing.

3. I was listening to a podcast on rhetoric and "figures of speech".

The way to reach Trailer Park America is not through reason and logic, it is through emotional rhetoric.

Thought I'd try it out.

4. It's a sad fact that dems need to wake up to.

Why the dems don't hire & use Lakoff, like the repubs use what's-his-name, I don't know.

2. That's an excellent point

I had thought earlier of posting that what they really worship is Mammon. And they also have control issues. It seems to be more and more a Republican thing. The Tea Party have gone so off the edge that in their ludicrous purism they're shedding light on that particular Republican trait in their exaggeration.

Romney and Ryan are obviously control freaks, and they're methodology is to keep information secret and close to the vest so no one can have the power of being fully informed. They can better serve their agenda if it's hidden behind lies.
