Let’s face it: Never before in the history of our
Republic has every opportunity been taken to trample
upon our Constitution than under the Bush-Cheney regime.
There is only one problem, and that problem is called
“term limits”. Just when we thought that all bad
things must eventually come to an end, Mitt Romney
was ready to come to the rescue as part of a
Republican ticket with John McCain! Under McCain and Romney,
Bush and Cheney would have their proxies to trample upon
the 22nd Amendment, with a key role to be played by Mitt Romney
(real name “Willard”, but you can call him “Political Opportunist”
… take your pick), a shrewd businessman who knows
how to get things done. |

A solid majority of Republican voters, as well
as political odds-makers, believed that Mitt
Romney was the key to maintaining control of the
White House by the Republican party. The
greatest fear was that, in a more cantankerous
moment, John McCain might choose Tim Pawlenty,
Tom Ridge, or even “Sleepy” Joe Lieberman as his
running mate, but Sarah Palin? In an
all-too-frequent moment of judgmental
instability, John McCain chose an unknown moose
hunter whose previous brush with fame was as the
runner-up in a two-contestant Miss Alaska
contest. It would have been nice for the delegates at the Republican
National Convention to insist that common sense
prevail by overriding Senator McCain’s selection,
but they preferred to pick up their battle axes and chop
holes into the hull of the Titanic. |
