Today is the all important “Super Tuesday” contest for the Republican presidential contenders. But according to one very prominent Republican, there’s nothing “super” about it at all.
Former first lady Barbara Bush is disgusted by the GOP presidential race and has gone public to give the entire process 2 thumbs down!.
“I think it’s been the worst campaign I’ve ever seen in my life,” Mrs. Bush said Monday at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. “I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word.”
Mrs. Bush was surprisingly candid and did not bite her tongue regarding her opinions: “I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, ‘What are you doing?’ “
Lol. I fell out laughing when I heard about this last evening. I mean…what it does it say about the horrific state of the GOP_to say nothing of the GOP *brand*_when even G. Dubya's mother comes out and bascially says: "I've NEVER seen anything THIS BAD!"And on a related note……Some "conservatives" are now publicly pleading to.."Stop the Madness!" J-Pod: "On Tuesday, voters can finally end this bloody mess"As Super Tuesday looms, with Republicans casting votes in 10 states, there exists the possibility of something sublime at long last: escape.Maybe, just maybe, if Mitt Romney does well — by which I mean he wins or all but wins in Ohio and Tennessee, the two most important states to watch — we can get out of the political doldrums in which we have been trapped for months and months and months and . . . move on.This would come as a relief to me, and countless others like me, because, frankly, I can’t take much more of it.The GOP primary has become a real-life version of the nightmare scenario in Luis Bunuel’s surreal 1962 film “The Exterminating Angel.” A group of people meet for a dinner party in Mexico City, then finds they can’t leave the dining room — for days and weeks — and turn on each other, commit suicide, offer sacrifices to the gods, etc. [….]Read: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/stop_the_madne…H/T: Hotair
Added to Mrs. Bush's great *Quote for the Day*…here's one written and posted today by Roger Simon In the past few months, President Barack Obama has gotten really lucky. The Republicans could not resist holding 20 debates to show the American people how brilliant they are and a lot of Americans took a look and said, “That’s all you got?”Read "Obama luckiest in his enemies"http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73639.h…
An interesting Quote by Erick Erickson over at Redstate (the man sounds despondent):I wasn’t going to vote at all. But then all sorts of people, including Donna Brazile and Sean Hannity, started in on me about my “civic obligation.” Frankly, I wish less people voted. But nonetheless, I voted. I was the only person in my precinct in the middle of a city that usually sees steady turn out.No one in Georgia seems to want to vote except the die hard supporters of the various candidates.I did not want to vote for Romney. But I did not want to vote for Santorum or Gingrich or Paul. Choosing between them has been like choosing the tallest midget. I have been left uninspired for various reasons by each.So I went with Rick Perry. Consider it a protest vote. But at least, unlike many, I went with who I liked as opposed to voting for someone to be against someone else or some other strategic pattern of voting.What a mess this primary season is. At least soon we’ll be able to focus on Barack Obama instead of the hand we’ve dealt ourselves this primary season.
