EQUAL CYBERSPACE FOR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTAIL CONTENDERS?

COMMENTARY

IN THE CASE OF ONE GOVERNOR MITT “FLIP-FLOP” ROMNEY
OF MASSACHUSETTS

FORGET DONKEYS, ELEPHANTS AND GREENS- BUILD A WORKERS PARTY!

This writer has recently taken some flack for going mainly after Democratic Party politicians. Well, what of it. This writer has not hidden his belief that the Democratic Party is not progressive and therefore is an obstacle to the formation of a workers party. However many people still do not believe that proposition. Thus, the struggle is mainly against those illusions.

Moreover, does anyone seriously want to argue that there is anything progressive about the Bush Republican party? Oh, yes, I forgot about those two “log cabin “ Republicans- but they do not count because they never read the history of the Republican Party after the Civil War and Lincoln’s time. Furthermore, I thought I covered the Republican Party in recent blog when I argued that Anne Coulter should be the unopposed Republican standard bearer- she is the soul of the Republican Party. Now I can announce that Senator Lieberman should run as her Vice-President in a National Disunity Party. In any case, to placate any disgruntled readers here’s my take on one punitive Republican presidential candidate- Massachusetts Governor Mitt (Does anyone have a real name like that?) Romney. This promises to be short and sweet.

Governor Romney stands for the proposition that in Massachusetts, at least, Democratic Senator John Kerry is not the only “flip-flop” presidential candidate as Romney has scampered to turn all his previously supported positions around, for example on abortion, in order to go after the main chance. And the main chance is to placate the right wing (the only wing) of the Republican Party. Yes, indeed this boy has the “fire in the belly”. However, it must be something in the water about this flip-flop thing among the bourgeois politicians of Massachusetts.


Governor Romney also stands for the proposition that competence (or the appearance of it) should get one far in politics. This is based most recently on his leadership around the Boston “Big Dig” tragedy and fiasco. In short, the ability to tell people that Elmer’s Glue is not a good way to keep a tunnel together is suppose to add fuel to his bid for the presidency. Please.

Actually the most interesting thing about Governor Romney is not about him. As most readers probably are aware Massachusetts, through its judiciary, has declared that gay marriage is a state constitutional right. Governor Romney and other Neanderthals oppose this right and have supported efforts recently to put through a vote for constitutional change. In opposition, gay rights activists staged a protest demonstration. At that demonstration I noticed one interesting sign. The gist of the slogan was that Governor Romney’s Mormon great-grandfather has five wives and the gay sign holder only wanted one. Now Great-Grandpa Romney is a man I would want to meet. Talk about executive ability. The great-grandson is a punk in that league. Step aside, sonny.

I told you this was going to be short and sweet- Enough said.
