Romney Campaign Shames America By Criticizing POTUS on Foreign Soil

Romney is starting to remind me of Sarah Palin in all the wrong ways, and that’s a shame for a man who is clearly smart and capable of so much more. Whereas Palin was a true believer and a real racist, Romney is not. He knows better than this, but he can’t seem to help himself. The lure of power is enough to make him drop all pretense of the stiff formality and blue blood he represents, but even when stooping down to catch the sewer rats, Romney lacks the vitality of Palin. He can’t even honestly connect with the racists in his party. Romney is indeed a classist, which usually translates to policies that fail to take in all minority interests, but he’s letting his advisers go full Southern Strategy racist.

These are the tactics of a candidate who is desperately hoping to avoid a real discussion on foreign policy. Perhaps he doesn’t want Americans to realize that he’s staffed to the gills with war hawk ex Bushies. Romney is still beating the Iran war drums, and maybe he doesn’t want to talk about his draft dodging days in France selling Mormonism to the elite socialists.

I didn’t realize it was an Anglo-Saxon tradition for a war-hawk draft-dodger to cowardly undermine one’s own country via one’s entourage. Is the Romney camp suggesting that only a white Anglo-Saxon can properly run America?

The job of President requires skill in international relations and diplomacy. We’ve yet to see Romney demonstrate that he can finesse his way through tricky situations with a modicum of grace, let alone keep from making the sort of mistake he made with Bob Carr. That mistake eclipsed even novice Sarah Palin’s handling of foreign policy when she was a candidate. At least she waited until she lost to undermine America while overseas.

Romney’s crass efforts to avoid a real discussion once again involve throwing the red meat of not even covert racism into the arena while he runs the other way.
