I Want to Like Mitt Romney

What's not to like about Mitt Romney? He's old school charming, an early-to-bed type who's in a seemingly happy marriage with well-mannered kids. Oh, and he's hyper-educated and can make a dollar out of fifty cents.

But all that counts for nothing seeing as Mitt is running for President of the United States and not the Ned Flanders Award for Citizenship. To win the GOP's nomination, Mitt has to crawl into the mud with today's radical republicans and promise to continue their warmongering agenda while purging this country of non-whites, non-Christmas and non-heterosexuals.

Whether the issue is civil unions or gay marriage, Romney is first and foremost, for the purposes of political advantage, an avowed homophobe.

Rewind to 1994 when he was trying to take Ted Kennedy's seat in the senate and trying to differntiate himself from uber-conservatives: "People of integrity don't force their beliefs on others, they make sure that others can live by different beliefs they may have."

Well, well, well.

I can vote for a Mormon, but I can't vote for a liar and a bully. Or a punk. And Mitt Romney has punked out of being a good leader to become a puppet for the hateful views of a small but well-funded minority.
