Help Retire Romney

The radio program "On Point" had about Republican Presidential contendor Mitt Romney today, former Massachusetts governor and a man who apparently will say anything to get elected President. It is fairly obvious that Romney shares much of the ideology that George W. Bush espouses. For instance, Mitt advocated sending up to 100,000 more troops to Iraq if he were elected to the Oval Office. Now, he is conveniently, anti-choice and anti-gay marriage when in the past he campaigned for governor and/or Senator (losing to Ted Kennedy) supporting gay rights and keeping abortion safe and legal. Now, he is cozying up to the Religious Wrong (right-wing Christian conservatives) and the extreme right-wing of the Republican Party, the very people who brought us the disastrous and pernicious and insidious policies and agendae of the Dubya Bush administration. Unless you want more of the same, I urge you to reject Mitt Romney, JOhn McCain And Rudy Guiliani, but especially the hapless but well-heeled Romney.
As for McCain and Romney, both men supported George W. Bush at the last Republican Presidential Convention, which John Kerry should have but didn't win, largely due to the lying bastards from the phony "Swiftboat Veterans For Truth" ads. One thing that ticks me off about McCain is that he had the opportunity to be John Kerry's running mate in the last Presidential election, but he turned it down. He stayed loyal to his party and George Dubya Bush, a man who shirked his National Guard duty during Vietnam and later questioned McCain's courage.
Tonight on "Nightline" I heard about the "Unity'08 Party" (or campaign), which hopes there will be a bipartisan Presidential ticket not beholden to either major party. I wish them luck, but after McCain refused to be John Kerry's running mate several years ago I'd be very surprised if such "Unity" comes to pass any time soon.
