For those old enough to remember the “Voodoo-economics”
behind of Reaganomics, will there be a more serious mental disorder yet to
destabilize the US Republican Party?

Would you believe that the ever-increasing partisan politics
at the Beltway of Washington, D.C. has been slowly enriching the already
colorful American English lexicon since former US President George W. Bush’s
search for nonexistent WMDs in Iraq? Sadly, this is at the American taxpayers’
expense of an increasingly dysfunctional government about to careen into a
Fiscal Cliff where The Lord white Anglo Saxon Protestant Jesus Christ can no
longer perform Hail Mary Play miracles anymore. But has anyone already heard of
“Romnesia”?
It could well be that the increasing partisan politics at
the D.C. Beltway may well be the most prodigious source of new words – make
that whimsical new words – for the burgeoning American English lexicon. I first
heard it on the weekending October 20, 2012 on CNN that incumbent President Obama,
while on the campaign trail of the 2012 US Presidential Election, describes his
opponent former Governor Mitt Romney of having “Romnesia”, making President
Obama the first one to coin the term. But what is Romnesia anyway and is it
already an official part of the American English lexicon?
When I checked it out on the Urban Dictionary website, it
seems that there are a number of meanings vying for the official definition of
the new word Romnesia. These are the following tentative definitions: 1) the
act of forgetting a statement or belief that you had previously expressed the
opposite point of view with regards to. 2) The ability of the very wealthy to
forget the context in which they made their money. 3) Flowing with the wind...
talk a different story to a different group of audience…Inspired by flip-flop
Romney liar and 4) a condition affecting GOP members and supporters exemplified
by contradicting statements and a perma-grin. It looks like Mitt Romney managed
to upstage the late former US President Ronald Reagan by having a “political”
term coined after him before being voted into the office of the US Presidency.
