Hey, South Carolina, You Can Have Him
Mitt Romney, the latest Massachusetts governor to pull off the "reasonable Republican" bait-and-switch, has finally revealed his true identity. At a Republican fundraiser in South Carolina, Mitt ripped off his cloak of moderation, throwing the crowd red meat related to Mitt's hatred of gay marriage, stem cell research, and in fact pretty much everything about his adopted home state.
But it's not, emphatically not, about testing the waters for a Presidential run. Mitt still insists his first priority is his "native" state, and he's focused on winning the 2006 gubernatorial election. The logic of how he's serving the Commonwealth by bashing it to a bunch of Spartanburg right-wingers eludes me somewhat, but maybe I'm just confused. Probably not as confused as I'll be when he does run for President (you might want to keep a copy of this article from 2004 handy when he does), but no matter.
Unfortunately, for some reason the article doesn't mention the dozens of people traveling around with Mitt whose lives and relationships have been destroyed by gay marriage. I wonder why not.
