Breaking news: Angry Willard lashes out at GOP voters who don't tell pollsters what God wants them to hear: "Let it be on their heads," he warns

From today's Washington Post:
Embattled Romney, Opponents Clash

MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 5 -- Three days before New Hampshire voters go to the polls, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney engaged in a confrontational televised debate with his fellow Republican presidential contenders, clashing over foreign policy, immigration, character and negative campaigning.

Romney accused his chief rival in the state, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), of supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants. "I have never supported amnesty," McCain retorted angrily, adding, "You can spend your whole fortune on these attack ads, but they still won't be true."

Clearly feeling under siege and trailing McCain in two polls released Saturday, Romney was repeatedly in the crosshairs of his rivals. After one sharp exchange with Iowa caucus winner Mike Huckabee, Romney accused his opponents of attacking his character rather than engaging in a serious debate. They, in turn, accused him of flip-flopping. "Is there a way to have this about issues and not about personal attacks?" he asked. "I hope so."

Now we can report:

Angry Willard Disses Republican Voters,
Threatens Them With the Wrath of God


Exclusive to DownWithTyranny

MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 6 -- An angry Willard "Mitt" Romney lashed out today at his opponents, the press, and Republican voters for failing to tell him clearly what it is they want him to say.

"Frankly, I'm shocked," the former Massachusetts governor said here today. "I think I've done everything I could to make it clear to Republican voters that I'm prepared to say any gosh-darned thing they want. So if they still refuse to get the message, I say let it be on their heads."

A high-placed Romney aide, who was granted anonymity on the ground that he or she is a really low-down weasel, indicated that the candidate was preparing to turn his displeasure into action. "With the New Hampshire primary so close," the aide said, "the governor is especially peeved at alleged Republicans supposedly reporting support for other candidates in current polls."

According to unconfirmed reports, the campaign plans to fan the candidates' five burly sons--generally known as "Willard's Boys"--out in their fleet of SUVs blanketing the state to remind New Hampshire voters of their obligation to support Governor Romney as God's chosen candidate. "Just the way God picked George W. Bush to be president," said another Romney aide who also requested anonymity, "He now wants Mitt in the White House."

The second aide added, "And God has a long memory for people who don't do what He wants."


UPDATE FROM BANGKOK AIRPORT

My plane is delayed so I found an internet center and was looking at the posts. Ken mentions Willard's assertion that God has a long memory. Let's hope he does. Willard has a big problem with God-- or at least with religionism-- and so does the entire GOP. That link is to an article in the new issue of the New Yorker and I recommend you take a look at it. -Howie
