Reputation Maintenance

I suppose it is only natural for a politician to want to maintain the reputation of his party. Apparently this holds true for Republicans even though their party is reputed to be the party of stupid! In this regard the senatorial candidate in North Carolina, Tom Tillis, is setting a fine example for his fellow Republicans. He has chosen to run against President Obama rather than the Democratic nominee Kay Hagan. Furthermore, he has chosen to run against a very successful program. Of course Mr. Tillis will not call the Affordable Care Act the Affordable Care Act because if he does that the ignoramuses might be curious enough to see what that act entails and they will like what they see. So Mr. Tillis calls it Obama Care. He does his because he knows that he and his party have buried that title in so much bull shit that the ignoramuses now dismiss it out of hand.

While that strategy is risky, it does not seem that stupid. What is stupid is who Mr. Tillis is using as his segregate to attack the Affordable Care Act. It is none other than Nit‑Mitt Romney! That is right, it is that Nit-Mitt Romney. It is the former governor of Massachusetts, who passed Romney Care in that state. Yes, I mean that Romney Care, the very model for the Affordable Care Act. Those of you who are old enough and do not suffer from Alzheimer's might recall with some amusement how Presidential Candidate Romney tied himself into a pretzel trying to Attack the Affordable Care Act while Defending Romney Care!

So here is to you, Mr. Tillis! By attacking an achievement and reminding us of Mr. Romney's dishonesty, you are doing Reince Priebus proud. I am sure he would tell tell you that you are doing a good job of maintaining the reputation of the party of stupid
