Looks like all those endorsements
John McCain has picked up in the past couple of weeks come with a cost (other than losing of course), which is flip-flopping
Mitt Romney weighing down his his ticket. When it comes to saying all the right things to conservatives, no one did it better this year than Mitt Romney. (No one could boast such an expensive loss, either.)
Now,
President Bush and his brother
Jeb are both recommending Mitt for vice president, as is another far right-winger,
Bill Kristol, who even says he ran it by
Karl Rove though it surprises us that Karl doesn't know better.
It's probably pointless to remind everyone that until 2005, Romney was a pro-choice, pro-civil union, universal health-care loving, free-spending liberal, and that all he's done is commit deeply to barking the crazy conservative rhetoric canonizing
Reagan and so forth.
It's true that being willing to say these things in front of the whole country would
seem to demonstrate a commitment to the principles behind them, but it will be
hilarious come the general election to watch Romney revert back to the center proving his one and only true allegiance: the direction of the wind at any given moment.
