HOW SMALL A MINORITY ARE STRAIGHTS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY-- AND WHY HASN'T BISHOP ROMNEY FIGURED THAT OUT YET?

Five brothers think campaigning for Mitt is more important than fighting terrorists in Iraq

Maybe Romney is losing all his support and will probably fail to come in even in the top 3 among the pygmies™, despite having spent more more than all of them, because he has no clue what right-wingers really want to hear about. His carefully researched utterances are kind of a cross between cardboard and plastic and resonate with... well, Mormons and no one else (sorry). But Bishop Romney should take off the holy underwear and go out among the real wingnuts and see what they're actually talking about. Not safe for someone of his wealth and stature? Well he can do it online then. Lots of Republican extremists go online. They don't use normal websites that regular Americans use, but they lurk around their own sites. No, I'm not suggesting the Bishop go to porn sites or neo-nazi sites-- we'll leave them for  people like David Diapers Vitter and Ron Paul-- but Flip Flop Mitt need go no further than Conservapedia, the Republican answer to the universally used and non-partisan, reality-based Wikipedia.

Before we explain why Bishop Romney needs to check out Conservapedia, we should look at a little story from 2 days ago in the Salt Lake Tribune in which he says "he's done talking about sex-sting tainted Sen. Larry Craig, his onetime Idaho campaign co-chair." Romney was up there harvesting money from fellow Mormons when a reporter asked him about Craig's refusal to resign from the Senate.

"I don't have further comments on Sen. Craig's tenure or experience," the Spokesman-Review reports Romney as saying. "That's something I've spoken about before. I don't really have anything to add to what I've said before. I can tell you that I am focused on the future."

Romney is focused on one thing: trying to get into the White House without being forced to write a big check everytime he crosses the threshhold. And he thinks Republicans are sick and tired of hearing about "Wide Stance" Larry and about David Dreier and Lindsey Graham, Miss McConnell, Bob Allen, Mark Foley and all the other Republican perverts, child molesters and toilet trawlers. But that's where he's making a GIGANTIC mistake, perhaps a fatal one, politically speaking.

Do you think I'm exaggerating when I tell you that the Republican base doesn't want to hear about anything as much as about lurid tales of homosexuality? I'm not. And when the Bishop finally figures it out, he'll be sending Josh, Craig, Seamus, Tagg, Merrill and Lynch out to campaign in their jock straps.

I got this story from BoingBoing.
