As if his foot-in-mouth remarks in Britain, his selection of Paul Ryan and his ill-advised statement on the assassination of our Libyan embassy staff weren’t enough, Mitt Romney’s appointment of Robert Bork as the chair of his Judicial Advisory Committee pretty much guarantees that Barack Obama will be re-elected come November 6.
I can’t believe that this is the same person who was Governor of the Commonwealth and who ran against Ted Kennedy for Senate.
Is this the real Mitt Romney? Were we fooled back in 1994, or has Mitt suffered a medical condition that caused this radical metanoia?
I would suppose that the candidate’s recent reckless decisions are consistent with his Master of the Universe persona as a founding partner of Bain Capital. Perhaps I’m wrong, but it seems to me that his extreme right wing opinions are out of step with most US voters, and that he and his campaign must be aware of that.
Thus, the question: since he doesn’t seem to want to be President, what does Mitt REALLY want?
