Call me a lunatic, but I think that the lengthy primary season has been a qualified success. The negative aspects of character assassination are due to (a) the media seeking to tell people what to think, and (b) voters rewarding crappy behavior on the part of candidates by way of SuperPACs.

Other than that, letting candidates demonstrate their commitment to the job is a Good Thing. For all my high regard for Herman Cain, his campaign simply was not up to the task. Compressing the process, and taking shortcuts doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Yeah, we need a short, sweet primary season so the RNC can lock things up for its favored next-in-line Gentry GOP Ruling Class RINO candidate without having to deal with Teatards, Bitter Clingers, and other Right Wing Nutjobs.

I love ‘Teatard’, which I think I first saw on Daily Pundit. As a proud Teatard, I think we need more, not less, time and focus on policy and candidates. #OccupyResoluteDesk famously talked about sunlight as a disinfectant. That BHO meant that statement about as much as anything else he campaigned on, which is to say, not at all, does not negate it.

Our Ruling Class RINOs, rather than harnessing Teatard power, seem to want the Brussels approach, where pointy-headed little worms pull stunts like the Treaty of Lisbon.

    To be sure, this campaign has clearly aired out the atmosphere.  It has also given us a fighting chance at having a nominee that is not the clear choice of the GOP powers that be. That has to be a good thing.

    I tell you what it was like, was a damn roller coaster. Now its more like a damn merry-go-round, with the horses going up and down, up and down, but the minute you decide on the one you want to ride, the damn thing breaks down with you.

    Ain’t that the truth. I have never seen a campaign with so many twists and turns and ups and downs. A fellow never knows what is coming next.

    “… crappy behavior on the part of candidates by way of SuperPACs.”

    I have to wonder, does this mean you disapprove of the Citizens United decision? 

    And that you believe candidates exercise control over “Super PACs” in spite of federal laws prohibiting this?  If so, do you have any evidence to support your position, or are you just making it up?

    Or is it just the actions of certain PACs supporting certain candidates you dislike being directed against candidates you do like?

    Inquiring minds want to know.
