At the beginning of the year, I pondered which of their stated values the Republican party would throw away, or at least try to rationalise their way out of. With Romney as the nominee, we are now hearing all those who would have opposed him in the primaries saying, “I had deep concerns about ____’s position on _____ and his history of ____ but now that I know more about him and heard that he believes _____, I know that he’s the right candidate.”
The script was already written, you just have to fill in the blanks and get the right people from central casting to say it.
Here’s my only question:
Sorry folks, but you can’t have it both ways.
Does not apply to SELF-MADE rich, boring flip-floppers who donate millions to charity. Hey, you have to draw the line somewhere. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSelf made? Oh, that's priceless! Yes, Romney was born in a shoebox while he father was working 18 hours a day down a salt mine, right?
DeleteCharity you say? Not sure how you figure that out since he won't release his tax returns. And I thought giving money to those who hadn't "earned" it was a bad thing. But still, if charity makes everything better, John Gotti was a great guy, wasn't he?
Of course, you could just say, "It's okay if you're a Republican." It's easier. ;)
DeleteYou're missing the point. Kerry went to Vietnam and speaks French. They can't have a president like that.
ReplyDeleteYou've just reminded me - I think Romney does speak French. He lived in France for a while. Newt Gingrich tried to use it against him in the primaries.
