>>> ATTENTION REPUBLICANS <<<

The National Waffler Service has issued a Mitt Romney Base Abandonment WATCH in the following area: the gays...

The Romney campaign?s decision to duck the Chick-fil-A controversy over gay-marriage appears to have reopened old wounds with social conservatives, who were never fully sold that the former Massachusetts governor would represent their concerns in the marbled halls of Washington. ?This is the most disheartened that certainly I?ve felt looking at this entire race,? said Catholic League president Bill Donohue. He told Newsmax in an exclusive interview that social conservatives will now have to decide whether to sit out the race.

A Mitt Romney Base Abandonment Watch means that conditions are favorable for Mitt Romney to back away from his "severely conservative" positions---including those on LGBT rights---by increasingly desperate leaps and bounds. This could especially affect the rabid, radical, extremist, bigoted wing of the GOP base. Or, as it's better known: the GOP base.

Guys looking at a radar

The National Waffler Service team is working 24/7
to track potential Romney flip-flops. (Nice ass!)Should an actual base abandonment occur, the appropriate warning will be issued. Please note that these conditions may be accompanied by additional damaging flip flops, memory lapses, gaffes, blunders, "hot mic moments," bewilderment at the sight of everyday objects (including "groceries" and "hardware stuff"), and attempts at humor followed by condescending "HehHehHehs" that come uncomfortably close to sounding like George W. Bush.

Republicans who feel a sense of despair, disappointment, heartburn and/or outrage that Mitt Romney is the GOP nominee should understand that these feelings are normal and will never go away.

Republicans are urged to stay tuned to the National Waffler Service for updates, instructions, and links to the nearest online "Chris Christie in 2016" support shelter.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled blogging. Cheers and Jeers starts below the fold... [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
