I tweeted on January 2 that Romney
would be the nominee and that Barry Soetoro would be reelected President. I'm
half right so far, we'll see how the rest plays out. Those of you who dont know
who Barry Soetoro is, that is your homework assignment.
Now, on to the matter of this blog.
How did I know Romney would be the nominee? Very simple, both parties have the
ability to nominee the worst possible candidate with the "next in
line" system. That system has been in play since the two party system began.
The most qualified person should be who is chosen, not the one who only
qualification is he hasn't died since the last nomination process. John Kerry
was chosen that way in 2004. The story was released that Kerry was the only
person in his freshmen class of 1984 who had not ran for the presidency. He was
next in line. Bob Dole and John McCain were the nominees in 1996 and 2008,
respectively for the same reason. What do we call people who get the nomination
because they are next in line? Losers.
Bob Dole was a horrible candidate,
as are all of my examples because they are running from their own history. Dole
was seen as mean and with a temper because of the outbursts he gave while
running for the Vice-Presidency with Ford in 1976. John Kerry ran from his
anti-war protesting past, John McCain, even though he may have been a war hero,
was as liberal or even more so than his democratic foe. Romney's past is the
same: the health care program labled "Obamacare" is modeled after the
one Romney passed when Governor of Massachusetts.
The individual mandate that has been
declared unconstitutional and that he swears he will appeal is the same one he
was for and whole heartedly endorsed as governor.
Mitt, if you're proud of the stupid
thing, be a man and admit it. Stop trying to do "verbal gymnastics."
America, even if Romney wins, we're in for more of the same.
