Mitt quit

So, Romney dropped out of the race today. Not surprising, it's a business decision and the odds are now stacked against him. He never had much of a platform (other than claiming to be the next Regan), just deep pockets. Of course, he did want to differentiate himself from other strong candidates that have already bowed out, like Edwards, Dodd, Biden or Kucinich. They all had words of hope and encouragement, and well wishes and/or advice for the remaining candidates. What does Mitt do? Exactly what the party tells him to do - use the spotlight to claim that folk not blindly following the Republican party line necessarily want to surrender America to al Qaeda. Bald-faced lies attacking the integrity of good people, the hallmark of the new conservative mindset.

Here's his oral defecation of a quote:

"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 Sen. Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. Barack and Hillary have made their intentions clear regarding Iraq and the war on terror. They would retreat and declare defeat. And the consequence of that would be devastating. It would mean attacks on America, launched from safe havens that make Afghanistan under the Taliban look like child’s play. About this, I have no doubt.”

Why don’t you take a look at the real world, you lying politico? Your hero Bush and his neocon puppetmasters have been giving Afghanistan back to the Taliban and al Qaeda ever since they ordered the US military to let Osama bin Laden escape from Tora Bora into Pakistan. Only 15,000 troops there with 150,000 troops in Iraq to protect their cash cow war profiteering. You do the math of what your party truly cares about. Can you handle that? Good riddance, Mittens.
