Bitch-slapped by Sandy, the Willard Mitt Romney campaign now would have you believe a whole slew of Republican fantasies — such as certain blue states turning competitive, Jeep moving to China, and the American Red Cross wanting your expired canned goods.
As any thinking feline (and human) knows, these are goppers — otherwise known as lies. (In fact, we think that soon the dictionary will also include the verb "to Romney" — saying something that you know to be completely false, and refusing to admit it afterward.)
But that's for another day. In the meantime, we cats have some home-stretch observations about the state of the campaign.
By now we suspect that everything that could be opined about the new bromance between President Obama and the tart-tongued Chris Christie has been said. But we're still savoring it. In the category of There Are No Atheists In Foxholes: When your state has just been destroyed by Koch/GOP-fueled climate change, government isn't so bad.
A rabidly Democratic friend in Miami reports receiving Romney phone calls, and our humans here in Virginia, who have never voted Republican in their lives, are getting Romney snail-mail. More proof that Willard's just running a spam campaign.
News flash: The consumer confidence index has jumped to 72.2, the highest it's been since George W. Bush was around, and 158,000 private-sector jobs were added in October. Get ready for a good Christmas — and for the Republicans to start throwing accusations that the numbers are cooked.
Finally, now comes news that not only was the Rommey Ohio "storm-relief event" a crass exploitation of million of Americans' suffering, but it was even more fake than we knew. The Romney campaign went to Walmart and dropped a cool $5,000 on peanut butter, granola bars and diapers, took them to the rally, and thrust them into the hands of their attendees — who then dutifully handed them over to their candidate for the cameras.
This is unforgivable — or, to use a favorite Romney word, immoral.
We cats repeat: If you want to help victims of the superstorm, give money or give blood. And vote Democratic on Tuesday.
