Mitt romney: A revolutionary in a monarch's clothes?

MITT ROMNEY,  one of the GOP's hood ornaments still searching for a car, is going around telling people that his party is the home of "revolutionaries" while the Democrats are "monarchists".  I'm not sure how that works in everyday language, but when I think of revolutionaries,  guys  like Giuseppe Garibaldi, and his 1,000 red shirts,  and Thomas Paine, who went to prison for his radical beliefs,  come to mind.   

I never met either of those two stormy troublemakers, but I've seen pictures and can assure you that Mitt is not one them. Not even close.   Romney ran a failed presidential campaign with Hollywood looks, stationary hair and freshly pressed suits that must have cost more than even Sarah Palin's wardrobe.   As for the Democrats being monarchists, have you seen Michael Moore lately?  Until Romney came along to sort out the current political brands, some of the social stylists in his party were grumbling about  how unimpressed they were with Michelle Obama's shamefully  bared arms on public occasions.  Hardly something that would go over famously at Buckingham Palace in the royal entourage. 

Some advice, Mitt.  Do you think your insights  would be more productive trying to figure out why zebras have stripes?

Great post. I agree with your assessment.

Romney seems uncomfortable on the stump and always makes for a bland interview. Still, he would have been a much better pick for VP on the Republican ticket.

Just about anyone would have been a better choice for the VP spot on the Republican ticket. Maybe even me and I'm no politician.

I love how the "new faces" of the Republican party are the same faces we have seen for years. I know they will eventually get their act together but for now the Republicans seems so clueless.

You're paying attention! Mitt and Carrie Prejean make a handsome couple for a matching service.
