Chiron rewards awareness and detests ignorance, especially the kind that knows, or knows better. Chiron has the power to shine light into the musty, dark halls of power, where the name of the game is control. We know history. If we pay attention, maybe we won’t have to repeat it. — Eric Francis on Chiron in Capricorn
Let’s get right to this. The Romney presidential campaign and the Republican Party are a slow motion train wreck. The gaffapalooza list for just the month of July is pretty long. Romney’s refusal to release the last ten years of tax returns was made worse by Sen. Harry Reid’s hints that he has proof from a former representative from Bain — Romney’s company — that Romney had not paid taxes the last ten years.
Romney’s foreign relations inexperience was magnified by the gaffe questioning Great Britain’s competency in managing the 2012 Olympic games, forgetting the name of Ed Milliband, Leader of Britain’s Labour Party, and putting a blowtorch under the Middle East’s already seething tensions by referring to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and saying Jews were culturally pre-disposed to wealth. If being arrogant, clueless, racist and ignorant was not enough, now back home, he is in deep hot water with radically conservative elements of his own party because of his campaign.
An ad by the Obama PAC Priorities USA showcased a man whose wife died of cancer after he was laid off from a company that went under from Bain Corporation’s takeover. Romney’s campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul responded he would have been much better off moving to Massachusetts, saving his wife’s life under the low-cost health care assistance program, Romneycare.
