As someone who's big on boxing, I'm loving how Dems are pounding the shit out of Romney

Two men in the ring, gloves on and the bell rings…

We're finally left-crossing and upper-cutting the Republicans bloody. No one likes a loser, hence Romney's own fans are booing his ass.

Rock 'em, Sock 'em, baby!

I won't be happy until Mittens is on the mat with canaries circling over his noggin!

McCain saying Palin was a better candidate.

18 Republicans asking for his tax returns.

GW giving him his endorsement.

Pawlenty says no thanks to VP slot.

His top adviser says he retired retroactively.

Timmeh the Tool has been shamelessly groveling for the VP slot for five years now.

...jabs usually takes longer than most fans like to see..

But man when it comes his opponent is done

Bamb, right through a tucked chinned defense on the nose...VERY hard to defend.

rMoney on the other hand went into the ring not covering his chin thinking he could outlast Obama's straight left by dodging jabs for 4 rounds...

rMoney is cut ON TOP of his right eye right now and the ref is asking if he should go on...


I like boxing too...

It's like he has Muhammed Ali as a campaign strategist.

BTW, Harry Reid is a former Golden Gloves. He knows the rope-a-dope, too.

It's a sad fact of life that something that's so important to all of is treated as such. But gaming is one way that human beings determines the direction that it takes.

Boxing is another sport and yes, there is a physical aspect to it. But it has RULES. It's not like two boxers are trying to kill each other in a back alley.

And I have to point out that his you think that politics is sterile, you haven't been paying attention. Politics is life and death.

He lands a hard shot to the ribs of Romney... Romney loses his mouthpiece! Obama lands a hard right to the side of the head! Romney is staggering! Obama lands another hard left-right combination to the head of the challenger! Romney is trying to cover up...Obama lands a jarring left hook to the chin of Romney! Romney is down! He fell on his face after that awful pummeling by Obama. The doctors are in the ring. We hope he is OK...
