Newt vs Mitt is like Billy Martin and Bob Lemon!


The Iowa caucus is like the time when we had Billy Martin and Bob Lemon as the managers of the Yankees. You see Billy was a "Real Yankee" just like Newt is more or less a "Real Conservative." But both of them have so many personal problems that it is hard to support them whole heatedly and not know that eventually it is gonna blow up in your face.

Now Bob Lemon is like Mitt Romney. Not that he is a Mormon. Bob liked his cocktails. But was safe and deliberate and low key. He didn't bring the problems and the drama and the excitement that Billy brought. He was just a manager. But he wasn't a "True Yankee." He did his own thing and he won for a little while. People didn't love him but the accepted him as what we needed at the time. In the end he failed.

We would have been better off with someone else who was a "Real Yankee." Like Dick Howser or Gene Michael. Like Paul Ryan or Governor Walker or Tom Coburn or Marco Rubio. They might not be experienced enough or running but maybe we should go with a "True Yankee."

That's what I would do. Just sayn'

I don't get why everyone sees that these really aren't the droids we've been looking for, and yet they're the ones we have to pick from.

What's a party for if not to step in at this point and give us better choices?

Is the worst of that lot better than the jug eared commie currently holding the office? If so, then there's your answer.

I know but then we end up with Stump Merril as manager.

And that sucks.

The Dude said...

Better than the stump brain we currently have.

Mitt always reminds me of Steve Garvey for some reason.
