I speak here of "lite "only in the mental and moral senses. The president's ambition is heavy beyond belief. That is, he wishes to continue being president. Outsized ambition is depressingly common. As the great sociologist Ogden Nash reported, everybody wants to be a wow.
...all the little process-servers hope to
grow up into great big bailiffim and sheriffim.One lite competitor who won't scurry is Mitt Romney, subject of a short and cogent item in the Washington Examiner.
Writer Douglas MacKinnon offers samples of Romney policiy differing from Obama policy in ways detectable only by advanced science using the most sensitive instruments. If at all.
And then he wonders:
Are you kidding me? Is anyone in the GOP paying attention to what is going on here? Is the Republican establishment so desperate to hold on to its power that it will continually look the other way as a chameleon-like candidate not only dreams up the ideas used by far-left Obama White House, but praises one of the people most reviled by the conservative movement?
The short answers to "Are you kidding me?" and "Is anyone in the GOP establishment paying attention...?" are "no" and "no." They are also the long answers.

It is becoming apparent that the GOP powers that be have ordained Romney as their next candidate. It is apparent now just as it was apparent when they ordained McCain.
If so, I will never vote GOP again. Romney is Obama lite as you say.
That said, I'll be forced to vote for third party candidates or not at all. I might even vote for the Communist party candidate. If the GOP and the Democrats are going that way, we might as well go whole hog.
