Throughout the GOP primary campaign, I pulled for Willard Romney (after it became obvious that Huntsman wasn't going to win any votes). My support for Mittwit was based on a suspicion that if he won the election, he would finally feel secure enough to revert to more moderate positions that come naturally to him.
An item at Talking Points Memo has forced me to reconsider. Now I think I probably gave the Mittster too much credit, and was seeing things in him that I wanted to believe were there. Maybe the extremist factions in the GOP will box him in, and he'll just be a sock puppet that signs whatever fucking bullshit the Congress sends up to him.
The last time we had a sock puppet in the White House, we ended up fighting an unnecessary war in Iraq. We don't need more lunatics running the asylum... we need a Republican president with the guts to clean up the shithouse and get that party straightened out once and for all.
And while I'm on the subject of right-wing extremists, wouldn't this be a better world if assholes like Grover Norquist were confined to padded cells?
Added 8:56 AM, Saturday 11 August: The official announcement has been made. It's Paul Ryan for VP, and apparently Willard is as gutless as predicted. No backbone at all. Fuck him.
