Give Mitt Romney His Due:
He told the liberals in Massachusetts what they wanted to hear.
He told the Christian conservatives and libertarians in the Republican primaries what they wanted to hear.
He told the millionaire donors what they wanted to hear.
And he told the American people what they wanted to hear.
If Mitt Romney wins this soon after the Bush/Cheney debacle, we deserve him.
If he manages to turn Social Security into a voucher system run by the insurance companies, we voted for it.
If we adopt a Romney/Ryan healthcare plan that allows insurance companies to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, we asked for it.
If he appoints more right wing demagogues to the Supreme Court to build upon Citizens United, we asked for it.
If we curtail womens' reproductive rights and abortion rights, we asked for it.
We can't claim that we weren't forewarned. We have Bush/Cheney as a template.
