Mitt Romney is now officially the Republican candidate for president. The lack of enthusiasm for his candidacy is still palatable.
I received a free bumpersticker from his campaign in today’s mail: Romney. Believe in America.
Believing in America is not the problem. Believing in Romney is.
Okay, so Mitt Romney is as bland as a milkshake from McDonald’s. There are far worse concoctions, such as that of Barack Obama. A mixture of hostility towards capitalism, considerable anti-Americanism, much support for Marxism, a touch of black racism, a lack of understanding of how free markets work, and a general disinterest in making America functional are not something of which we need four more years. We need change.
