In 2012 Concession Call, Romney Inferred Obama Won Just Because Of Success With Black Voters


Mitt’s manicured mind has more odd angles
Than paintings by M.C. Escher:
Yet more proof that one thing he possesses is
A gracelessness under pressure.

Irony (Vol. #17)


By far the most presidential thing 
Mitt Romney's ever done
Is his having decided not to make
Another presidential run.

Romney Gets Approval On Plans To Remodel His Home In La Jolla


The timing to do this couldn’t be better
Which means Mitt has no need to grouse:
He’ll be tearing down his home just as
The Tea Party has torn down the House.

Mitt & Ann Romney Travel To DC This Weekend


If some of you reading this now are at all like me,
You may possibly try to think
Of who they are but draw a blank, which is why
I’ve included a Wikipedia link.

The GOP Candidate’s Latest Pivot


This campaign keeps getting
Odder and odder --- it
Seems Mitt is now trying to
Appear more moderate.

Romney wants to shun the extreme far right
Not completely but, you know, just a little
And only because that leaked tape showed his
Contempt for the lower class & the middle.

Mitt’s Been Taking It Easy The Last Few Days


At this point as the actual nominee
I’d like to mention, Gov. Romney,
To be present in the media, you
Should be --- you know --- omni-.

But you’re off the trail & on your boat
And in the wrong direction. Here
Is a little advice: there are no days off
During a presidential election year.

After The Election, Here’s How Mitt Can Launch His Own Action Hero Movie Franchise


Badly injured, he has amnesia but discovers
As he eventually regains his health
He knows vulture capital tips on how to soon
Acquire massive amounts of wealth.

He becomes known in business circles as
A cutthroat & ruthless entity.
The title for something like this is vital ---
I call it “The Bain Identity.”

Clint & Mitt At The RNC


Watching Clint wing it was sad and made me
Want to hide under blankets in my bedroom.
I now know who Romney reminds me of ---
That robotic Eighties relic Max Headroom.

I Love The Smell Of Paranoia In The Morning


You know what really makes
Me sick? That
Mitt's planning to take away
Your six-pack!

Mormons don’t drink!
His secret mission
Is bringing back good
Old Prohibition!

In addition to closing up
All your favorite bars
Mitt won’t let you watch
“Dancing With The Stars.”

Mormons don’t dance!
The future’s gonna be
Not even toe-tapping
To Donny & Marie!

What’s next on his ban
Against honest folk?
Mitt will outlaw letting
You have a smoke!

Mormons don’t smoke!
You’ve had your quota!
Next Mitt will come after
Your favorite soda!

Mormons hate caffeine!
That means that you
Have had your last Pepsi,
Coke & Mountain Dew!

Mormons hate coffee!
Even if you know karate
You will never again
Drink a Starbucks latte!

Victoria’s Secret models
Will be filled with despair!
Even they can’t be sexy in
Mormon Magic underwear!

I have seen the future and it
Doesn’t look pretty!
A bland gulag reminiscent
Of Salt Lake City!

Let’s close ranks right now and
Soldier on possessed
United to fight the power of the
Mormon Conquest!

(If you are offended … c’mon!
I’m only blowing smoke:
Not unlike Mitt’s birther remark
This was just a "joke.")

Romney Admits Democratic Attacks Are Hurting Him With Voters. Actually, It’s Worse Than That.


Mitt, the simple truth is you had
Reasons to be feeling defensive
That began rather long before the
Democrats’ recent ad offensive.

No matter how much you have tried
To carve out your own niche, did
You ever think it’s just we don’t like
A secretive and entitled rich kid?

Why Mitt’s Recent Birther “Joke” Matters


His motivation here is
Simply the basest yet:
It says, “I need every
Racist that I can get."

Possible New Direction For Romney Regarding Transparency


Mitt needs to do a TV spot that says,
America, I have a lot of pride
But, if asked, I will also admit that
I have a great deal to hide.

Like nasty business practices at Bain.
(The complaining never ends!)
And using the Utah Olympics to enrich
My already very rich friends.

I mention “faith” (not that I’m a Mormon)
And even though pressure mounts
I won’t release more tax returns or discuss
My Swiss and Cayman accounts.

But don’t you have some secrets, too,
Dark ones that are so
Awful that you don’t want anyone to
Ever ... ever know?

Of course you do --- you’re just like me!
Want more truth? I’ll leak it:
You can’t trust a guy running for president
If he can’t keep a secret.

So, forget Obama and just vote for me
Show people how you care, but
Don’t forget Honesty is just a sissy I’d
Like to attack and give a haircut."

It’s Time For Mitt To Double Down


“I’m not ever EVER releasing my taxes!”
OK, fine, we get it.
But I just want to be supremely sure you
Don’t ever forget it

Is the right time right now to up the ante
In all fifty states
And defiantly declare that you also won’t
Do any debates.

And why should you? Obama’s too good!
You’ve got the perfect defense, too ---
Why give Barack a chance to hear you say
Something stupid & use it against you?

And don’t let your VP pick debate either.
C’mon, you really don’t want to see
Paul go nuts when Biden teases him with,
“Ryan & Ayn Rand sitting in a tree …”

Man up! This is your moment! Your Alamo!
It’ll wind up in Mormon scripture!
(I know --- the Alamo guys got slaughtered
But just think of the big picture.)

Instead Of Moving To The Center, Romney Picks The Extremist Ryan

A VP who wants to kill Medicare is as popular
With Democrats as undercooked spinach.
It’s like Obama trying to appeal to Republicans
By deciding to run with Dennis Kucinich.

The Faux Indignation At Reid’s Tax Attacks Against Romney


Anthony Weiner’s wife is in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hillary Clinton is a lesbian --- then ya
Can’t forget Vince Foster was killed, Bubba dealt drugs
And Barack is (of course) from Kenya.

Right wingers not being wild about Harry is
A strange sentiment for them to utter
Since slinging all manner of horrible hooey
Is (in fact) their bread & their butter.

These claims by the Majority Leader make many
Republicans an absolute wreck ---
They hate to see Democrats strategically playing
The favorite card in the GOP deck.

A Christian Science Monitor writer said something
That must have Reid grinning:
The gist of it was that Harry may be bluffing but now
It would appear he’s winning.

Mitt Romney 101 (Vol. #17)


When asked about his taxes
His eyes start rapidly blinking.
This means what he says next
Isn’t what he’s really thinking.

He’ll then switch to nervous laughing
But bet even money
That nothing he’s said or heard then
Is remotely funny.

An absence, a genuine fake but his
Political problems are real:
When you’re nothing, everything
Is something to conceal.

Conservatives Blast Romney For Not Releasing His Tax Returns


All of the problems they reveal must be so enormous
He knows most voters couldn’t handle the truth:
To avoid going public, Mitt would rather drive around
With dogs, gays and lawn jockeys on his roof.

Amazing News! Drudge Says Condi Is On Mitt’s Shortlist For VP!


I’m speechless, dumbfounded & feel like
I’m always the last to know:
I could have sworn The Drudge Report
Had vanished years ago.

Romney’s Ill-Advised Defense Against Attacks He’s Hidden Money Overseas


Using a “blind trust” as a fig leaf
Only makes Mitt teeter ---
It’s like Chris Christie trying to
Hide behind a parking meter.
