On Tuesday, openly gay foreign policy advisor Richard Grenell resigned from Mitt Romney’s campaign amidst pressure from religious conservatives including the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer, who called it a “great win.” But yesterday Fischer criticized Romney, saying “If Mitt Romney can be pushed around, intimidated, coerced, co-opted by a conservative radio talk show host in Middle America, then how is he going to stand up to the Chinese? How is he going to stand up to Putin? How is he going to stand up to North Korea if he can be pushed around by a yokel like me?” |

I was going to write a question and realized Fischer actually asked a good one. With supporters like that, who needs critics?

True. Well, consistency is not conservatives strong suit. For the past year, Mitt has been demonstrating that he has a spine of jello, and that’s sort of insulting jello. His main line of “why I should be president” seems to run along the lines of “I’ll say whatever you want me to say, today.”

Maybe that is what Ann Romney meant when she said that Mitt wasn’t stiff.

I so hope we don’t have to find out what jellomitt would do. Watching him campaign is icky enough. After Grenell resigned then Mitt says, Oh but I wanted him to stay. Right Mitt. That’s why you didn’t say a word until he was gone. With friends like Mitt who would even need enemies?

He coulda/woulda/shoulda stood up to Rush Limblow. He c/w/s went to bat for Grenell. He passes chance after chance to say, “Stop it. That’s wrong.” You’d think that he’d realize that people admire a stand up kinda guy. Even people who’re against you give major points for being a stand up type. Tch-tch. Too bad Willard……. You really don’t have what it takes…….
