An exercise in hidden meanings and realities...
Mitt Romney - handsome, square-jawed and at least 40% humanoid - has been displaying yet again why he is the undisputed King of the Squishies GOP Primaries, taking every opportunity to wow us with his rival-less combination of lack of courage, lack of deeply-felt conviction, and lack of ability to connect with the essence of men and women everywhere. The Rmoney World Tour 2007 2012 continued its breathtaking run Monday with appearances in Ohio before rolling into Boston for Super Tuesday. Once again, Romney took every opportunity to connect with his future landscapers young voters, assuring them that in a Romney America, every person would have opportunity to better themselves through a college education (if they could already afford it, or were willing to put their lives on the line for it). Ann Romney took the chance to let us know just how ballsy in-touch with the struggles of the multi-hundred-millionaire common voter she is, letting a Fox News interviewer know that she doesn't have an effing clue consider herself wealthy, because after all, it can all be gone tomorrow just like the jobs in the companies that her husband buys and picks apart. After all, we all know how hard it can be to get by on 20-some million a year.
Governor Cut-and-run Romney also frightened wowed us with his foreign policy chops, telling the Iranians in a Washington Post op-edthat they'd better hurry up they had better cease all nuclear activity before he's elected president, or he'll knock them back to the 20th 19th 18th 17th...ah, screw it dark ages. Calling President Barack Obama "America's most feckless president since Carter" (after all, he certainly has displayed this in his handling of Osama Bin Laden, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, central Africa, etc.), Romney hammered home the theme that we must deal with this situation in Iraq Iran in exactly the same way we handled Iraqopposite way than our current feckless (HA!) president is handling it. Romney clearly rewrites parallels historical precedent, recalling Reagan's illegal arms-trading projection of power that caused the Iranians to release the hostages, promising the same sort of reaction from the Iranians should he be elected president. Former Mossad officials are standing behind Romney's assessment of the situation (or exactly the opposite), proving that Romney is (ABSOLUTELY NOT) ready to lead this great nation.
In addition to his WaPo piece, the Romney folks posthumously blessed us with a written copy of his message to AIPAC, the most powerful most powerful special interest on the earth at this moment. Again, and I can't say it without crying enough, Romney has a grasp on the issues that verges on Bush-like genius. With Herman Cain-like stirring words like "I will treat our allies and friends like friends and allies," he lays out a vision so far beyond the ability of a third grader typical politician that it stirs the soul. Channeling again, Herman Cain Reagan, he sets out the doctrine of "Peace Through Strength," making it clear that the weak and cowardly policies of the current administration are both ineffective and faint-hearted. Once again lying informing the public about Obama's hollowing out of the military, Romney promises to rebuild our Navy and Air Force (while, of course, hollowing out programs for the middle class and poor). Romney slams Obama for his "procrastination," cementing his status as delusional a liar the curator of the GOP's canon on defense.
Finally, Romney took the past few days to illustrate his lack of integrity and lack of courage, making difficult and principled stands on pressing issues. He has once again proven he's a liar made a commitment to repeal Obamacare while at a campaign stop, restating his lie position that he never saw the Massachusetts program as a model for the nation. "Why wouldn't I [repeal it]?", Romney asked. (Maybe because he did, indeed, hold the Massachusetts plan up as a model for the nation.) When faced with questions about the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy, Romney ran took three days to come up with an answer bowed down stood up to Rush, proclaiming in no uncertain terms that "it's not the language [he] would have used." The scathing rebuke sent shockwaves through the GOP establishment, ultimately causing Rush to make things worse do nothing issue a heartfelt excuse apology.
Images of Reagan staring down the Iranians, Soviets, and Welfare Queens come to mind when observing Romney's ridiculous resolute bold leadership. As he showed in Massachusetts, where he was universally loathed loved, he's willing to say do whatever it takes to get elected govern in a responsible and tenacious manner. We all look forward to World Tour 2007 2012 flaming out moving on and depressing inspiring us along the way.
