Finally, Mitt Romney (R-Sort Of) gave his
For those of you that missed the speech, let me summarize:
"Hey, I love Jesus just as much as Mike Huckabee!"
Romney faced the challenge of having to prove that he was deeply religious to suck up to the evangelical wing of the GOP while also saying those deep convictions wouldn't influence his decision making.
Good luck with that, Governor.
I've grown weary of the media fascination with Mitt Romney. He's spent enough money in Iowa to purchase the state ten times over. As a result, he managed to get to the top of the polls there only to be threatened by Mike Huckabee (R-Aw Shucks), who has spent about eight cents on his campaign. We've heard for six months now that John McCain (R-Cojones) is in a free-fall yet Romney still trails him in national polls.
This has nothing to do with religion. As a practicing Catholic I think I'm more disturbed by the fact that Rudy Giuliani trades in his wife every five years. I don't think the nation can handle the trauma of multiple First Ladies in one administration.
Romney was a one term governor of a liberal state so out of touch with reality that it keeps reelecting Ted Kennedy (D-Liver Damage) and John Kerry (D-I'm Still Talking). His one term was a study in political expediency. He caved into the will of the liberals when that was the path of least resistance. I don't buy the sincerity of his position changes any more than Giuliani's promise to appoint the right kind of judges. When did the GOP become the party of "just tell us what we want to hear"? That's a political philosophy already perfected by the Democrats.
Enough of Romney, already. If we need to organize another Olympics we'll call him.
Coffee's brewing. Time for the Republicans to take a whiff and snap out of it.
