In reply to the discussion: The GOP's Kamikaze Candidate-"Republicans have selected the worst candidate in recent memory" [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)10. lol: He's the best they have!
Who would have been better than Romney? Cain? Perry? Bachmann? Gingrich?
Remember the Repubs did their best to find somebody better than Romney, one by one, the candidates didn't measure up to the high standards Romney had set?
It's not that they've chosen a terrible candidate. They've chosen a terrible ideology and should ask themselves why it's leading proponents are liars, corrupt, batshit crazy, egomaniacal, dumber than an earthworm with a lobotomy, or more than one of the above. Really, if the people getting ahead under Conservatism, the ones who desire more power, all look like the GOP presidential field this year, it should be a warning to Conservatives to reconsider their core beliefs.

Romney was simply the least offensive, and limped into winning because he seemed more electable.

"opportunistic" says it all in a nutshell. This is the 1% going for broke.
