Romney Surrenders, Slanders

Whatever qualities Mitt Romney may have had as a business manager, governor or family man have been forever tarnished by this slander:

"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win," he said. "And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."

What the fuck? Does he seriously believe this tripe? I sincerely hope Clinton and Obama force an apology out of Republicans or force McCain -- if he supports such statements -- into a corner by essentially claiming that any American who wants our troops out of Iraq is a traitor.

Romney would rather bankrupt the country and poison the political landscape than admit the obvious: Our presence in Iraq is aiding terror, detracting from our national defense, and rotting our international standing. I commented as much here, here and here.

Good riddance, Mitt. Now go mow your own lawn.
