Topic: Learning from the Election

A final take on the election: Mitt Romney was a glittering Sir Galahad who, given his impressive horse, armor, and lance, along with his decency and piety, assumed that he could win a joust in a fair charge against the other team’s knight. Instead he waded into a sudden fray where he was swarmed, mobbed, cut off, pulled off his magnificent steed, had his matchless armor yanked away by a mob of foot soldiers, and then, once stripped clean, was clubbed and maced beyond recognition.

Yeah OK, not buying that closing statement, it makes Romney appear to be a victim of forces beyond his control when in fact  he was part of the faction controlling the GOP. I don't feel sorry for him, we are the ones who got screwed from the get go!

Yeah, as to the said paragraph; however, it did enumerate the Democrat Renfelds accurately:

swarmed,
mobbed,
cut off,
pulled off
yanked away
mob of foot soldiers
clubbed
maced beyond recognition.

They'll do it everytime they get a chance.

As a whole the article was insightful.

They only get away with what we let them get away with and the GOP has been more than charitable toward those...Renfleds!
