18h18 UTC; WEDNESDAY, 8 FEBRUARY 2012: The Republican National Committee hath it that their Presidential nominee in Indecision 2012 must secure a total of 1,155 delegates through the caucus and primary process at their conclave in Tampa come July.
But the way things have been going so far--as in Rick Santorum, the Elmer Gantry candidate (as it were), winning caucuses in Iowa, Colorado and Minnesota and Missouri's "beauty-show" primary (the last three were just yesterday), Mitt Romney claiming primaries in New Hampshire and Florida and Nevada's caucus and Newt Gingrich (a close rival to Santorum in the Elmer Gantry arena) claiming South Carolina--have been enough to prompt such analysing Indecision 2012 to wonder if what we are seeing here in the primaries and caucuses is a dysfunctional and perhaps splintered GOP when it comes to whose ideology and agenda it needs to rally round if they expect to ensure the defeat of President Obama's second-term chances come November. But then again, Maine's currently holding a series of "rolling caucuses" (as it were) as ends Saturday, the results therefrom expected to make the situation even more cloudier as Tampa approaches.
But first, there's several more caucuses and primaries to deal with, in particular the "Super Tuesday" series across 18 states on March 13th, for which Meneer Gingrich is reputedly concentrating his marketing energies (as well as those of his affiliated SuperPAC, "Winning Our Future") and the heretofore frontrunning Mitt Romney needs to pay serious catchup if he expects to regain serious attention. Too, Rep. Ron Paul of the conspiracy theories galore is still hoping for a win, what with his finishing so far as high as runner-up (as was the case in Minnesota and Missouri yesterday).
Which can only translate, if present trends continue, into bedlam and confusion as the Tampa convention approacheth. No doubt nicely playing into the prolefeed desideratum of "Our Sarah," insisting on an extended pre-vetting of the RepubliKKKan Presidential wannabes "to ensure that the right candidate is eventually selected."
=============
Which brings to mind Presidential electoral history from back when the nominating conventions could drag on for days, before their being time-compressed out of necessity for radio and TV scheduling: During the 1920 Republican convention in at the Coliseum in Chicago, the nominative process dragged on for several days without result ... until the night of June 11th, when, the whole process deadlocked, a group of party leaders adjourned to what The Associated Press would call "a smoke-filled room" at the Blackstone Hotel to nominate the heretofore-unknown Warren G. Harding as the Presidential nominee, thereby breaking the deadlock. Since then, "smoke-filled room" has become synonymous with back-room, behond-closed-doors political dealing, especially where corrupt specimens of the old Maschienpolitik come into the equation.
Hence, could it be possible for the RepubliKKKans to be forced to return to the "smoke-filled room" to resolve the ensuing ex-lax and gridlock, even if it's more than likely that a rather grotty-looking motel room in the low-rent parts of Tampa as allows smorking will have to take the place of the original such at Chicago's Blackstone Hotel 92 years ago? (And without the decency or common courtesy of a smoke filter apart from an open window in defiance of motel rules when the air conditioning is operating. As for the "seegars" likely to be deployed in such flaunting of Political Correctness consistent with GOP articles of faith seconded by Fox News, Fox Business and syndicated talkback radio, don't expect them to be the locally-made Havatampas as opposed to pre-Castro manufacture Havanas. Especially Romeo y Julietas or Macunados.)

As if Fox News and conservative talkback radio weren't already grating enough on the intelligence and cognition, a newly-released study cited by The Huffington Post hath it that almost-constant morning business meetings and "discussion groups" could make matters worse to the point of adversely afflicting productivity within measurable distance. (But then again, North Korean propaganda has made much in past about so-called "Eternal Leader" Kim Il Sung and "Great Leader" Kim Jong Il giving all manner of "on-the-spot advice" to various collective farms, industries and schools on frequent tours across the country.)

You've probably seen that advert from and in behalf of the American Petroleum Institute urging We, The People to "Vote for AmeriKKKan Energy" without naming specific candidates, yet urging them to support such committed to "maintaining AmeriKKKan energy independence"--which, to Your Correspondent, is probably code for wasteful, ineffective and counterproductive policies to be packaged (Lily-Gilding Alert!) as "Wise Use" (cf. the North Korean concept of Juche in its Luscious Glory of socioeconomic self-reliance).
To be presented as but part of a larger call towards what may be a flawed delusion suggesting that a clear interconnexion exists between the defence of AmeriKKKan National and Sovereign Identity and that of Ekonomesie Vryheid met Amerikaanse Eienskappe "gebore ons die Volk, die Volk te doen"--same supposedly based on "established and unwritten tradition and experience" which "Tea Party" types especially want given the "mere formality of legal recognition" through Constitutional amendment preferably.

Staying for the nonce with the presumed defence of Ekonomesie Vryheid, &c., expect the Greater "Tea Party" (pseudo)movement, in a last-ditch attempt to regain the Luscious Glory that was theirs for that one brief, shining moment in the sun, only to explode in their collective faces like the stickiest bubble gum, to call for what turns out to be an extra-secretive Ekonomesie Volkskongres sometime over the summer which is thus in name only.
The whole being rather secretive, behind closed doors (and under some sort of ruse to fool as much the venue hosting same as the media) and serving essentially as "rubberstamp" of agendae to "protect and strengthen Ekonomesie Vryheid at all costs" arrived at in super-secretive conclave of "the Four Hundred" serving as the financial "sugar daddies" of the whole sham and farce. And given that such is expected to be packaged as a "people's economic congress" (translating from the original Afrikaans) in the vein of the original such called by the hyper-Masonic Afrikaner Broederbond at Bloemfontein in 1939, given the underlying circumstances behind same, such is not expected to be "born out of the Volk to serve the Volk," nor should its Proceedings (again, expected to be kept secret "for reasons you must understand," or so organisers will advise "delegates" therefor) expect to call for anything remotely resembling such an otherwise well-intentioned ideal to "empower the AmeriKKKan poor and helpless" based on the disciplines of Ekonomesie Vryheid (which, know, is being used in the stylee advised by Frank Luntz as euphemism for "capitalism" "to make [the concept] more acceptable to the masses") being one with Our National and Sovereign Identity.

By now, you've heard of where Walmart, the store of choice among the so-called "REAL AmeriKKKans" which conservative prolefeed operatives cherish deeply and dearly as pawns for their prolefeed, has introduced a new bright-green label which will identify select products across their own-brand range as "Great For You!" by virtue of having reduced levels of fat, sugar or sodium. Which, when you get right down to it, will likely be found in the most unusual or inconvenient of locations, the better so the average shopper there (who, for all we know, is bereft of intelligence vis-a-vis sound shopping habits) is unlikely to notice it on first glance on the shelf.
Especially considering where such a low-bred and ignorant element, taking literally all the scare prolefeed about various initiatives towards healthier diet and lifestyle choices being one of "centralised planning" and "social engineering" "inconsistent with freedom of choice and FREEDOM generally" (to use a likely meme of theirs), is probably the sort to excuse latent preferences for HFSS (high-fat/sugar/sodium) foods generally as "cultural heritage and identity." Likewise when it comes to its byproducts of obesity, constipation, hemorroids and laxative dependency tending to a maudlin nostalgia for the likes of Crazy Water Crystals, Dismuke's Residuum (those two from Mineral Wells, Texas, "Where America Drinks Its Way to Health" in the day) and Pluto Water from French Lick, Indiana (slogan: "When Nature Won't--Pluto Will!").

Some 20 years or so back, it was not uncommon for scam operators and mountebanks seeking a cheap and cheerful air of credibility to confuse and deceive the unwary to use as their mail drops the likes of locked box facilties at Mail Boxes Etc., Mail & More and similar in the guise of "apartments" or "suites" out of a warped and deluded desire to maintain privacy (or so the thinking went) on the part of the mountebanks ... until consumer advocates got wise to the ruse, eventually prompting such businesses to stop using the ruses and instead refer to such as "private mailbox services."
Now, with the emergence of "virtual office" complexes as are available on month-to-month rents in major cities, replete with boardrooms, secretaries, waiting rooms and suchlike other amenities creating the aura of a private corporate suite, scam operators can make the illusion of legitimacy look even more professional. Never mind that the "real" Corporate Office for many scam operators will tend to be in a seedy trailer park populated by the Dregs of Society too dependent on conservative prolefeed for its own good, much of the "operations" being on a laptop computer picked up on the cheap as risks being infected with mouchik ware thanks, for the most part, to the want of common sense on the part of such involved.

Dyslexic. Unemployable because of past psychosexual abuse; hence, dependent upon State charity (and trying to supplement it through the Online Mall on this site). Yet nonetheless opinionate, as carried out in this rather esoterically-inclined blog, this New Explosion of Pedigreed Bull on Teh Innerwebz.
