The New York Times Finds [and explains] all of the Mitt Romney Warts.




As the mechanical automaton in some glass booth in some 19th century fun house grinds away at some mundane task like predicting the future for a nickel, the New York Times discovers and offers the astonishing prediction that one of the Republican candidates will lose the race. This is indeed a rare finding—and so novel. In today’s article Road to Nowhere[1], David Brooks turns the old rusty crank and squeezes out an ‘objective’ analysis of why Mitt will lose and takes us, predictably in his case, nowhere.

In the stale and predictable manner of the propagandistic polemic[2], characteristic of the NYT, we first start off with the conclusion [road to nowhere] and add in some modest and meaningless ‘compliment’ and then get to the gritty process of sorting out the political warts.  Romney’s political opponents in the other party are not mentioned. Romney, current leader in some polls must lose and enhance the liberal cause! Why write this piece if this is not the intended outcome?

The most impressive thing about Mitt Romney is his clarity of mind.”

This is probably just fluff, so we can ignore this unless it returns later in the article. McCain’s mind is unclear?

Earnestly and methodically, he has appealed to each of the major constituency groups.”

This is stunning. No liberal Democrat would have the clarity of mind to seek political help from their constituencies. We may be witnessing a breakthrough in political analysis here. Maybe the Walter Duranty Paper driven by Pinch Sulzberger has attained new analytical insights. We must be delighted and read more! We may learn much from Brooks today.

No candidate offends so few, or is the acceptable choice of so many.”

Mumble mumble mumble………

We can wonder why our writer does not contrast Mitt with Hillary and show that Hillary’s crimes and such must be ignored since she is ‘vetted.’ Hillary does have a 49% unacceptable-to-the-voter rating.  This is not mentioned. Brooks does mumble about planning and such and offers a platitude about unintended consequences but then we get the whammy:

And what Romney failed to anticipate is this: In turning himself into an old-fashioned, orthodox Republican, he has made himself unelectable in the fall. When you look inside his numbers, you see tremendous weaknesses.”

How many Democrats think Hillary is unelectable? Is Hillary an orthodox liberal? She trails Obama by 7 points in Iowa at this writing. The NYT has previously argued the parallel case where Obama cannot win either. [3],[4] What about Edward’s weaknesses in numbers? What about Biden? [5] No matter what the polls say, the NYT will pick the candidate that closely approximates the central tenets of Marxism. Period. They never miss this point.

In an effortless propagandistic transliteration this means Mitt is against high taxes and wants more tax cuts, is pro war on terrorism, against illegal immigration and takes other political stances that define conservatives. This is astonishing! A conservative is announcing that he is a conservative. Do liberals do this? We cannot find out from this article.  We can note that all the leftist candidates support major and soaring tax increases[6]—probably the first defining attribute for all the candidates. This election may be a referendum on taxation. The NYT would not attempt to make that case in public.

Perusing the usual myriad of meaningless polls nearly a dozen months before the election, we find Mitt is not leading in all categories which include age, gender, class and Hispanics. We find that the liberal North East newspapers “…find his flip-flopping offensive.”  Has Brooks ever heard of John Kerry[7]?? We also learn that: “Romney has turned himself into the last gasp of the Reagan coalition.”

Some think Hillary is the last gasp of the Radical Marxist Movement of the 60s. She has a long, warm association with Communism. She has Castro’s vote. Hugo Chavez too! OBL seems to like her. I wonder why? She is a favorite with Kim of North Korea. Impressive.

We must recall that Ronald Reagan destroyed most of the Great Society, New Deal, the USSR[8] and cut taxes and created unparalleled economic growth. Such an experience has never been so ghastly for the Old Gray Lady. We then get to read a recitation of the old stale platitudes:

The general public prefers Democratic approaches on health care, corruption, the economy and Iraq by double-digit margins. “

Yes, we see how Congress is rated on these issues. Below 12% approval rating and sinking are they? This article ignores the fact that George Bush is not running again. It is easy to run against Bush2 as he is not exactly the favorite son of the conservatives having made numerous social and spending blunders and would not be nominated even if he could run again. His first SCOTUS pick cost him 15 points from conservatives and allied independents. His stance on illegal immigration finished him off. George might have to play the part of the bucket next year as in History of the World Part 1[9]

Brooks left out critical political vectors such as global warming. By health care we can translate as socialized medicine, the mechanism by which, hopefully, California or Oregon or, hopefully both, will crash in debt[10].  We need to show the voters how expensive this can get if political stooges are placed in charge of such a process. We can always be reminded of Central Planning inMoscow, a cluster of incompetents who were able to carefully mismanage the Soviet economy for decades. On corruption, this must reference Libby and Gonzales, but we wonder about Hillary’s good friends[11] who stuff their shorts with stolen documents[12] or grunting and grabbing money from Asian Communists[13]. We can conveniently forget about Waco[14] where children were summarily burned along with some toxic military gas in a war about some assumed ‘sex’ problem. Bill Clinton never had a sex problem. Other people had problems with his sexual advances.

So, we can show gratitude to the New York Time for another meaningless fluff piece cut to fit from the old rusty propaganda molds. Hopefully, this ragzine will not break out of this narrow and circular logical snake pit and discover either use of the facts or how to influence voters who think this paper is best suited for parrot cage linings. It could be dangerous, but with Pinch cranking out Pinch Pustules like sausages we can use the NYT as a convenient disinformation alert and merely endorse what they advocate in reverse. These toadies have advocated and carried various waters [like in History of the World Part 1] for every leftist slime ball since 1900 and endorsed most of the Marxist dictators who murdered millions. That is what the New York Times has to offer and we can thank them for these alerts when properly translated.  

How can be we ever be dissatisfied by the crude propaganda in eh New York Times? And the follies continue.
