A desperate man in search of votes
Mitt Romney has done his best to pretend that he's a true member of the far right, but it hasn't helped

The former Massachusetts governor has long been known as a flip-flopper who constantly changes what he claims he believes — a political prostitute, legendary for the willingness to do anything for a vote, a buck or committed support.

Now, finally, he is paying the full price for it. 

The Republican Party has moved far, far to the right, and the former “moderate” has been pulled along. On almost every issue, he has taken the most extreme position demanded by his party. And just about every poll seems to be saying the same thing: The gamble is not going to pay off come November.

Romney had too much faith in the Republican base, weaned on the propaganda of Fox News, and the ruthless billionaires who fuel the whole machine of factoids and lies that brings uninformed life to the radical right. He must have thought that if he just mimicked the positions of the GOP’s loudest blowhards, political love would follow.

But the nation is not so easily fooled, neither by Romney nor by those from whom he takes his cues. Men like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity cynically believe that the public has no intelligence, that its memory is nonexistent and it has no ability to tell fact from fiction.
