Bill Kristol’s dumb son-in-law is very very disappointed in alleged lady assassin Mitt “Mitt” Romney’s allegedly well-oiled operation because it seems to be allegedly completely unprepared to explain itself/manage crises effectively/anticipate attacks/counter-attack and wage all-out war. It should be noted at this time that, despite these failings, Matt Continetti doesn’t think they should preclude Mitt Romney from being the leader of the free world because … I don’t know … it gets better? Yeah, okay, probably that.
Here is Free Bacon Matt explaining how the Nobonerbama campaign is cockblocking Mitt’s chances of making hot electoral love with midwestern blue collar guys who have plenty of free time (funemployment!) to sexy it up all day long since Mitt shipped their mind-numbing yet lifestyle-sustaining jobs to India and China:
In 2012 Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, chief strategist David Axelrod, White House senior adviser David Plouffe, and super PAC strategists Bill Burton and Paul Begala are out to disillusion white voters without college degrees in the Rust Belt and Mountain West, who will elect Mitt Romney president if they vote Republican by the 30-point margin they gave the GOP in 2010, but who could also give President Obama a second term if they do not turn out in great numbers, or if their support drops to the 18-point margin they gave John McCain in 2008.
We are therefore witnessing a well-rehearsed and coordinated and almost balletic exercise in voter suppression, as Obama and his helpers spend hundreds of millions of dollars convincing middle America that Romney is a rich elitist who made a fortune in rapacious finance capitalism, and whose concern for the bottom line trumps transparency, compassion, and community. The objective of this campaign is to tie Romney down, Gulliver-like, with connections to the most lurid aspects of Bain Capital and the global economy, thereby hobbling his ability to make his case and dragooning white voters into apathy.
You know, if you go back and read that second paragraph, it kind of seems like Continetti agrees with Barack Obama’s Chicago ACORN 312 Mafia about Romney’s “rapacious finance capitalism, and whose concern for the bottom line trumps transparency, compassion, and community” because Matt didn’t once use the conservative ‘safe’ word: “free enterprise”. I can only conclude that Matt Continetti is secretly a part of the Dump Rominee faction of the party which should come as no surprise as Real Conservatives like Matt consider prematurely ejecting Mitt in favor of someone who can get the blood-pumping in all of the right places.

Seriously, they want to dump Rominee? For who? The rest of the pack got voted out of the clown car because they were either dumb as bootstraps or too crazy for even the crazies. BACHMANN / PERRY OVERDRIVE 2012!!!111!!!
And would also like to inform you that I do not wish to see the words ‘cockblocking’ and ‘Obama’ used together in a sentence Ever Again.
Bill Kristol’s son-in-law? So we have a third generation conservative legacy hire.
Who indeed can lead the Pack.
BuzzFeed reports Stubbs the Cat has been suggested for Romoney Veep. Stubbs is a political veteran, being a Mayor for 15 years. Why not Stubbs for President? Am I allowed to mention “Cats”?

Romney is a rich elitist who made a fortune in rapacious finance capitalism, and whose concern for the bottom line trumps transparency, compassion, and community.
So his complaint is that the Obama campaign is accurately portraying their opponent? I knew that conservatives lived in Bizarro World, but I never expected this.
I love how running political campaign ads targeting your opposition is voter suppression, but actually enacting laws that make near-high impossible for a citizen to exercise their right to vote is clamping down on (non-existent) voter fraud.
Shorter Bill Kristol’s dumb son-in-law: Campaigning for votes our guy desperately needs is voter suppression.
Matt Continetti, professional gimp?
I have to move to Rock Island Arsenal at the end of the month.
I am afraid.
So is Arthur.
Mittens (hee! They both haz kitty names!) would never pick that nice kitty to be his running mate: Stubbs has more political experience, a higher approval rating, is certainly less android-ish and probably smarter. Rmoney couldn’t possibly handle being so overshadowed.
Also, too, also Stubbs would be, you know, a “you people”/teh poors. Totally unacceptable.
Sounds like congratulations are in order!
The anxiety over a big lifestyle change just comes with the territory; you and Arthur will do fine.
What’s the time length for this gig?
You military historians get posted to the most dreamy, romantic places {sigh…}
ETA, just looked at where that is on a map. If longtime Eschaton commenter Nick Carraway is still farming up there in NE Iowa – and I suspect he is – maybe you guys could swing by for a visit. I always loved the photos of his farm and surrounding area that he used to upload!
And at their current rate of inbreeding, we’ll need more than cockblocking from Obama if we don’t want to run out of pies and salted dicks during this election cycle….
dragooning white voters into apathy
Dragooning someone into doing nothing sounds like it’s right out of Monty Python. “M’Lud, the defendant did cause the plaintiff to be indifferent by brutally forcing him to be severely disinterested, thus dragooning him into apathy.”
Boy, that Kristol Klan sure can write.
“We are therefore witnessing a well-rehearsed and coordinated and almost balletic exercise in voter suppression, as Obama and his helpers spend hundreds of millions of dollars convincing middle America that Romney is a rich elitist. . .[blah, blah, blah...]”
The “Baconeer” just doesn’t get it: Obama doesn’t HAVE to spend hundreds of millions of dollars pointing out that Mitt is a rich elitist who doesn’t give a ratzass about “YOU PEOPLE” and “teh poors.” One of his sons is “showing his support for America” by driving through all 99 counties of Iowa in a luxury RV to get Mitt’s sorry ass elected, while the sons of other Americans are showing their support for America by enlisting in various branches of the military. And also because Mitt and his backers shipped entry-level jobs oversees, and they have no other choice.
Not only that, Doc, but it’s “voter suppression.”
That line alone should win Matt twenty of the best. Has he protested the actual voter suppression (that its perps have bragged about by name) in Ohio? No? But O’s ads qualify? Noted.
You think you’ve seen the bottom of the barrel, and it’s like a smuggler suitcase. Every bottom is false, and leads to another one.
Okay, I wrote the above before (in my perfervid haste) I read yours. Is that so wrong?
O.M.G… you’re right! I knew there was a reason the mental imagery was hilarious:
“We are therefore witnessing a well-rehearsed and coordinated and almost balletic exercise in voter suppression, . . .”

Great Title !
Shame. For whom?
Nooo, don’t give Romney any more outsourcing ideas…
” midwestern blue collar guys who have plenty of free time (funemployment!) to sexy it up all day long since Mitt shipped their mind-numbing yet lifestyle-sustaining jobs to India and China:”
Karma….?
So what vile thing is Obama doing? Oh, he’s “convincing” voters against voting for his opponent. Why, that’s outrageous!! How dare he do such a thing while engaged in a political campaign!
“dragooning white voters into apathy”–try to diagram that one.
That second paragraph sounds like a high-school freshman on Monday morning after spending the weekend watching tapes of William F. Buckley, Jr.
That’s too good and too true for Incontinetti to have written it. Who did he steal it from?
All of these legacy twits appear to have spent the past few years “studying” with the Tundra Trash Cougar larnin’ how to poop out a bunch of vague sort of sounds Teabagging word salad. WTF?? Nobama is campaigning & telling de troof about his opponent in order to win… How DARE he?????111!!1
Romney/Bozo the Clown 2012!!
Wait until Incontinetti hears about this:
‘Romney Murdered JonBenét Ramsey,’ New Obama Campaign Ad Alleges
CHICAGO—With campaign rhetoric becoming increasingly heated and both presidential nominees releasing more attack ads, a new 30-second spot from the Obama campaign this week accuses his opponent Mitt Romney of committing the 1996 murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey.
Titled “He Did It,” the advertisement asks if anyone can truly remember where Romney was the night of the child’s murder, and whether the U.S. populace wants a president capable of strangling a little girl and dumping her body in her parents’ basement.
President Obama appears at the end of the advertisement to approve the message.
“I think this is a fair ad, and I think Mitt Romney owes an explanation to the American people as to why he murdered JonBenét Ramsey,” said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, who called the commercial’s black-and-white reenactment of Mitt Romney carrying a kicking and screaming child to her death “accurate.” “Ultimately, voters need to know who they’re getting with Mitt Romney: a job- and child-killing businessman who is so deceitful he won’t release his tax returns or admit to a senseless murder that shook the nation to its core.”
Scheduled to run in multiple swing states, with significant airtime in Ramsey’s home state of Colorado, the ad criticizes Romney not just for killing the prepubescent girl, but for going to extreme lengths to cover it up. It also states that Mitt Romney paid former school teacher John Mark Karr to falsely come forward as the murderer, and accuses the former Massachusetts governor of being a sex offender.
Over a silhouette of Romney walking away from the Ramsey mansion—blood dripping from his hands—the commercial’s narrator asks, “If Mitt Romney kept the murder of JonBenét a secret from the American people, what else is he hiding?”

This is truly unfair. Romney only tied her up. One of his henchmen did the actual strangling.
Rumor is Romney’s going to announce who the henchman was Saturday at 9 a.m. EDT at the Nauticus Museum in Norfolk, VA.
Pawlenty: “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride!”
Ryan: “What–me worry?”
…And who was that other guy from MN?
I think the announcement is going to be made on the USS Wisconsin.
He could solidify enthusiastic conservative support if he picks Ponch McPhee.
Not so bad along the river in S.E. Iowa. Plus, you will be only about an hour away from Iowa City, the bluest place in the whole freakin state. And and and IC has great music venues, theater and museums/galleries.
You could do worse!
Yeah, Rmoney decided to go with Catfood Budget.
President Obama reacts to the Ryan choice:
