Smash & Grab Politics

John McCain and Mike Huckabee have struck what they think is a crushing blow to Mitt Romney.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

I do fear, however, that they have caused some serious damage with their smash & grab tactics (i.e., swinging undecided McCain votes in W. Virginia to Huckabee to effectively spoil Romney’s totals). But the damage I refer to is not to any one individual, certainly not to Mitt Romney, but to the core base, the core ideals, and the credibility of the conservative party.

McCain and Huckabee (hereafter “McHuck”), individually and collectively, are allowing their personal feelings, and now collusion, to get in the way of what is right and proper for the Republican Party, for conservatism and, most importantly, for the American people.

I, and I’m sure many other clear-thinking conservatives, have seen this type of conduct hundred or more times -- always beginning in the same place: the toilets at junior high school, where little alliances were built and schemes were hatched to “trip him” on the track, or “elbow the groin” on the court, or “throw a bean ball” from the mound.

The irony is, every one of those guys who got tripped and groined and beaned went on to win trophies in their respective sports -- some even named Player of the Game, because they refused to cave in to underhanded tactics or bend under the pressure of petty jealousies. They played sports with honor and dignity and never once knelt down to the rats in the rat clubs.

Speaking of rat clubs, where do you think these vermin are now? In politics – where else? Only the Senate building toilets are somewhat cleaner but less soundproof, and you have to tip the attendants.

I woke up this morning and went to Real Clear Politics for primary updates and found in the Readers Articles section an incredibly high volume of anti-Mitt oratories, so many that they outnumber the ton of spam for generic Viagra.

These orators (no doubt on loan from Moron.org), and mincing behind McHuck, are having a field day with their diatribes against another Republican – another human being. They, like McHuck, are still in that “toilet” mentality – playing at being in junior high school, hitting the exclamation mark key again and again and again.

Guys, you can bang it a hundred more times and you still won’t achieve penetration. The only thing coming across is just how intellectually impotent you are.

Also, you’re the type who, away from your keyboards, cannot and should not be taken seriously, because if you’re expressing yourself with such viciousness behind the curtain of the Internet in a political campaign, against a fellow party member, there is no way you’re any different in private life. Family, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and especially superiors are probably also get greased, whacked and spit on in the very same way, maybe more so.

But who am I to say stop? Go ahead and spill your guts, be mean and nasty and bang away at that exclamation mark key. Just bear one thing in mind:

It will be all you Mitt haters who will be the first to whine and cry "SAVE US!" when McHuck opens the borders and there will be an infestation of even more millions of illegal aliens to plunder our city and state treasuries.

It will be your cries and shouts that will be the loudest and the longest after terrorists strike again and our economy hits the rocks -- and only then will you realize the only persons McHuck will care about saving is each other.

Apparently it was a "crushing blow."

Speedzzter-
You didn't read the piece. It wasn't about crushing Romney. It was about the damage those two are wreaking on the conservative party, along with hate-filled rhetoric from bloggers.
