Can He Get Any More Pathethic??

   Yes, the "he" of whom I speak is none other than former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

   While I already commented on his chickenshit exit from the presidential race, by officially endorsing John McCain and releasing his delegates to McCain, Romney is effectively flip-flopping once again. If he was the true conservative he claimed to be, he would have released his delegates to Mike Huckabee, an indisputable conservative, and much closer to Romney, policy-wise.

   Instead, Romney is trying to secure his place in line as the GOP candidate in 2012 or 2016 by unsurprisingly kissing ass:

      "I am honored today to give my full support to Sen. McCain's candidacy for the presidency of the United States," Romney said in a joint news conference with Sen. McCain by his side.

      "This is a man capable of leading our country in this dangerous hour."

   There's the GOP party line again - invoke the spectre of a new terrorist attack and forget about everything else, including taking steps to lessen the global hatred of our fair country.
