THE MAN WHO WOULDN’T QUIT (aka Vanity Never Dies) — by Steve Nadis
Mickey Edwards, the former congressman and current Princeton lecturer, summed it up nicely on the radio today. Mike Huckabee is not Romney’s problem. Romney is Romney’s problem. Ironically, Edwards said, Romney tried to recast himself as an extreme conservative (and now bills himself as the “only true conservative”) because he thought that’s what it would take to win. But it turns out the Republican voters aren’t that conservative and if he’d kept his more moderate positions, he would have had a better chance.
I, for one, am glad he shot himself in the foot. But I’m as suspicious of his previous moderate positions as I am of his current hardcore views. I’m convinced that Romney is like our president: A man who doesn’t really believe anything but will stand for anything if he thinks it’s in his interests. Or if the right people tell him to…
Not sure about the “doesn’t really believe in anything” part, but the REST of the sentence defines BARACK pretty well, I do believe. Atleast that’s how I see his political moves over the last number of months.
(Like any good politician, I spoze. An oppurtunist.
If you look at his Senate voting record, he voted for most of the Bills the “Billary” voted for. Only he penned in his name weeks to months later… -Marco Polo
Snark: I also have to disagree with the statement that Romney does not believe in anything. Romney believes in Romney being president.
Good pts MP&TB. And yes I agree: Romney does believe in Romney being president. Thank good that is not a majority view. –Snake
