With the withdrawal of Rick Santorum - to whose campaign I gave money three times - from the race for GOP presidential nominee, it's obvious that Mitt Romney is the party's candidate.
LITD is on record in several posts as being quite uncomfortable with a Romney Candidacy. To reiterate the most egregious sources of that discomfort:
1.) McCain-style Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome, as in "He's not a bad guy; he's just in over his head." No, Governor, the Most Equal Comrade is a very bad guy who holds the country over which he presides in utter disdain.
2.) Automatic increases in the minimum wage. We should not even have a minimum wage, let alone any kind of increase.
3.) His statement that he believes the global climate is getting warmer and that human activity is a cause.
4.) His flip-flops on abortion.
5.) His multiple statements earlier in his political career that attempt to put a chasm between himself and Reaganite conservatism.
So, as the WSJ's Daniel Henninger says, he will have to be "nudged to the right." We'll have to breathe down his neck, raise holy hell at any sign that he doesn't get it.
But now it's time to close ranks and order the bumper stickers and yard signs. He's not the preferred general, but we didn't ask for this war. It was thrust upon us by those who harbor a visceral hatred of basic human freedom. There must be no reservation in the way we fight.
So, Governor, if you have an A game, let's see it. The fate of Western civilization is now on your shoulders.
