Ditching the Veep

It was noted in passing in Saturday's Globe that when Vice President Dick Cheney arrived at Logan Airport for his Back Bay Fundraiser, he was greeted not by Governor Romney or Lt. Governor Healey but by some schnook of a state rep from Shrewsbury.
The reasons for this uncommon double-snub are not hard to divine, Cheney's approval rating hovers around the Ernst Stavro Blofeld level. Romney and Healey don't agree on much but they are both committed to no having their pictures in the paper shaking hands with a much loathed political gargoyle.
If there are conservatives and republicans reading this blog, then listen up, Romney may be sucking up to you now, but see how he treats your incumbent VP!?
If Cheney was somehow up in the polls, Mitt Romney would've happily kissed the Veep's
Hush Puppies on live TV.
Because that is what Mitt believes in most fervently, what is good for Romney is very a very good thing indeed hence pride, loyalty and dignity are strictly for dorks and losers.
Mitt Romney bills himself as a man's man type conservative of profound freeper principles, but in reality he is a cold opportunistic selfish prick who'd nark on his own grandmother if it made him the first Mormon President of the USA.
That constitutes his true beliefs in total...movement conservatives ought to recall this when it becomes time to vote in New Hampshire.
As for the equally absent Kerry Healey, she is a cheap lackey whose husband very much wants to buy her the governorship for reasons Humble Elias cannot begin to fathom.
Thus being a lackey, if Romney is a no show, Kerry Healey is a no show as well. In her case the snub will be sold as a moderate's modest refusal to hobnob with a controversial national conservative, but again in reality she is just being churlish and somewhat disloyal.
Simple as that.
