As predictable as the norovirus, Mitt Romney is announcing for President today...in Michigan as a last petty schoolgirlish snub to the state that put his ass on the map.
His platform is simple, he will as the sole and absolute hero of the far right in this country, another Reagan or Goldwater.
In truth, there is nothing heroic or particularly conservative in Romney's record. The former Viceroy is conspicuously lacking in policy accomplishments as Governor of Massachusetts (where I remind my conservatively minded readers he ran as a frantic truckling sort of moderate)...his many threats to purge the democrat-dominated state legislature were openly laughed at and occasioned no great stress to anyone.
Other than his vague resemblance to the comic book character Tom Strong, there just isn't much of the Man on Horseback to Romney.
Unless you somehow think that kissing ass, backpedaling and flip-flopping constitutes heroic behavior.
Hell, if you think about it, Mitt's lack of a political soul is just the sort of thing that would excite the disdain and disapproval of the late Senator Goldwater.
Think about that.
