The Republican Party will accept <i>anything</i> with the right amount of money backing it; for all their talk about "purity", at the Presidential level, there's nothing that a lot money can't paper over.<br /><br />The only thing that matters is who the majority of the deep pockets in the Republican Party choose. I don't doubt that many of them don't want to back Romney again, but the other options aren't particularly attractive either (is running the brother of Obama's disgraced predecessor, a man whom Republicans try to pretend doesn't exist, really an appealing option), and maybe Romney 3.11 for Workgroups is the version where they finally got the programming right to win a general election in Obama's America. The current reporting (which isn't necessarily particularly accurate) certainly suggests that some big-money people are telling Romney that there will be money there for him to run; if that's the case, I'd at least peg him as the current favorite.<br /><br />And, yes, there is no Republican, least of all Mitt Romney, who will ever do anything about global climate change. Maybe they'll pray for us. Or at least claim to.sdhayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354409528975596405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-37612949690075445772015-01-22T21:18:08.954-05:002015-01-22T21:18:08.954-05:00Did I say that GCC was a man made problem?

I think this is just Mitt Romney saying words. Words that are calculated to please the media types. His solution to poverty, global warming and world peace will all be tax cuts for rich fucks. But nobody (in the media) requires your policy to actually address the problems you identify because, who knows, maybe tax cuts for rich fucks <i>will</i> save the planet?<br /><br />I remain unconvinced that Mitt will actually run, but if he does, I think his candidacy will be singular for it's commitment to the non sequitur as a political communication device.mlbxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931351723996391533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-73798564165979269972015-01-22T13:20:44.365-05:002015-01-22T13:20:44.365-05:00Romney is playing a very weird game here.
