Mitt Romney -- whaddaya think???

[Ben]

I'm not a fan of either party.
But Mitt Romney seems the sanest among the so-called top three: Mitt, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry. (Remember the mainstream [or corporate] media is ignoring Ron Raul. Because, in part, of his anti war stance, I think --

Really can't trust ANY of them or the system they work in,
thanking our selves for our complacency in fostering
national failure.

It is gonna be a long way to anyplace
that resembled our more optimistic times.

Being the sanest of a trio that includes Michele Bachmann isn't exactly an endorsement lol.

No. Not an endorsement -- ha ha!
Part of the game of politics is to compromise -- and, too, to flip-flop. I mean, I've no idea where Romney stands on the issue of climate change. Maybe he doesn't even know -- ha ha!
I mean, the art of politics, too, is to position oneself, well, just right. Plus he has a Republican right-wing base that he has to appeal to.

Vote for me! I'm farther out on the fringe than anyone else!

That's my story & I'm sticking to it...
until my handlers decide to change it.

hippifried, good point. I mean, how far right does the Republican Party have to go -- or is willing to go. I mean, is there no, say, Stop Sign, as it were?
I mean, the Republican Party is becoming the Crazy Party.
I guess being rational, intellectual, thoughtful, calm, science-minded, steeped in historical perspective, um, economically rational... just doesn't cut it in the Republican Party.
And I'm not talking about conservative people. I'm merely talking about the Party itself...

He's a social retard....at least in public.

Well Ben,
It's primary season early. Primaries are just withing the parties. Last year, a bunch of conservative Republicans got knocked off by reactionary teabaggers in the primaries. Now the party's running scared. Romney's willing to say anything to whatever group he's fishing for votes from. I can't see any principles in the guy at all.

That's certainly how it looks from this side of the pond.
