“The Obama campaign is mocking Mitt Romney’s moment of unrestrained patriotism — or his subtle jab — this weekend when he said he would not “take God off our coins.”
For over twenty years I have been predicting the religious-right would turn our political system into a weird contest of self-righteousness. Refusing to give We The People any details of his Secular Solutions, R MONEY the Mormon, goes running to Pat Roberston and preaches to his choir. God is a political football, or rapier to these nuts. In this fake attack, Romney has punted away his chance to be president, prompting Laura Ingraham to say what I have been saying for years after becoming a Republican;
“Speaking to the GOP, Ingraham said, “If you can’t beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party. Shut it down. Start new, with new people.”
Unfortunatly, she does not want what I want, being ‘The Republican Bohemian Abolitionist Party’ based upon the relationship of Jessie Benton and Bret Harte, who Jessie got a job at the San Francisco Mint, and may have been responcible for putting “In God We Trsut” on the coins he minted, this a Masonic slogan, rather then a Christian one. Laura wants a whole new bunch of branders to come to R MONEY’s.
rescue who wants what his billionaire backer want, a Holy War Vote against the Un-God, rather then vote on real issues.
How about “Elmer Fudd Loves God” for a new brand?
“I’d vote for Elmer Fudd if the Republicans nominated him, if Obama’s the Democrat,” Rush Limbaugh declared.

The Obama campaign is mocking Mitt Romney’s moment of unrestrained patriotism — or his subtle jab — this weekend when he said he would not “take God off our coins.”
Romney made the campaign promise Saturday during a rally in Virginia Beach in which he criticized Democrats for removing God from their party platform. The word was later reinserted.
“That pledge says ‘under God,’ and I will not take God out of our platform,” Romney said at the rally, heavily attended by military veterans. “I will not take God off our coins, and I will not take God out of my heart.”
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaski told reporters Sunday the likelihood of President Obama taking the word “God” off coins was equal to that of aliens attacking Florida.
“It was nothing more than a desperate attack on a false claim,” she said, adding that Romney and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan’s goal with such rhetoric is to appeal to the conservative base.
During the rally Sunday, Romney also led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance.
“I’m as conservative as the Constitution,” Romney said Sunday in a taped interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham tore into Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on her Monday radio show, arguing that the 2012 presidential race was what she called a “gimme election.”
Speaking to the GOP, Ingraham said, “If you can’t beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party. Shut it down. Start new, with new people.”
Ingraham focused her dissatisfaction towards the political consultants Romney hired to run his campaign.
“Election after election, we hire people who have lost previous campaigns; who’ve run campaigns that have failed; who have message campaigns where the message fell flat, and they keep getting re-hired,” Ingraham said. “I don’t understand that. I don’t know why those are the people you hire.”
She pressed that the Romney campaign needed to hire stronger branding consultants. “If I’m hiring messaging people, I’m finding out, for instance, who did the original Geico gecko commercial, because that guy or gal who did that, actually knows how to brand something,” she said.
“And if you’re Mitt Romney, with all of your expertise and all of your knowledge about how the economy works, and you’re in this, you have one shot, man. This is going to be the first line of your obituary: you won or you lost. It’s all on the line for the country, and it’s all on the line for you,” she said.
During the Republican primary, Ingraham argued that Romney would have to bring his “A-game” to the general election in order to beat Obama. “I don’t know if Mitt Romney can beat him,” Ingraham said on ABC’s “This Week,” recalling a conversation she had with prominent conservatives.
