And I fear we “realpoliticians” with our realpolitiks will shortly get booted out of the echo chamber once JR learns about it... so far there has not been tattling about this strain of discontent but it’s only a matter of time.
Mitt Romney is NOT a wonderful leader. He has issues that even John McCain never had. One problem he will not have, however, is that of having a visibly sane platform about the issues that Barack Obama is bungling worst in the public eye — the economy and employment. And Mitt Romney is not afraid of the race card like John McCain was. He is the moldy ham sandwich which will still appear far better than the stinking fermented cowpile that is the Barack approach to governing.
If something deserves attention, it is not so much to execrate Mitt Romney but to figure out how better to keep better candidates from getting mowed down in the future by unscrupulous Democrats (is that totally redundant). I cheered for Sarah Palin, then Herman Cain (with honorable mention to Rick Perry), then Santorum, then Gingrich. All apparently in vain.
Realpolitik looks like it will rule the day and barring a deus ex machina, America will likely muddle through with Mitt (which is hardly an inspiring slogan). What comes after Mitt, and who goes to the Congress now, is much more malleable. Energy spent hating Mitt might be better spent on the malleable factors.
Mitt is Mubarak Obama is the Muslim Brotherhood—I will take a dirty rotten sonofabitch over a dirty rotten sonofabitch with a cocked gun to my head everytime.
