I am, of course, a little late getting to here. But now, with the departure of Mitt Romney, two Republican candidates for President remain. Out of a field of (seemingly) thousands only weeks ago. The cull was bound to happen, of course, because the essential bozohood of such as Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, Rudolph Giuliani, et alia, was impossible to overlook. Now, there's John McCain, and God along with His runningmate, Mike (Huck) Huckabee.
The surprisingly viable candidacy of Sen. McCain has caught many pundits... ahh... by surprise! They declared him roadkill last summer, seemingly well back in the pack, surpassed in the polls by a slew of bozos, led by bozo-in-chief Giuliani. Who, eventually, emerged from the primaries with approximately zero delegates. So much for the pollsters. Now, as the aging Senator savors his ascendancy, here is how he explains his GOP-ness:
'In his victory speech on Super Tuesday, McCain laid out his GOP credentials. "I am a Republican because, like you, I want to relieve the American people of the heavy hand of a government," he said. "I am a Republican because, like you, I believe government must defend our nation's security wisely and effectively," he said. "I am a Republican because I believe, like you, that government should tax us no more than necessary, spend no more than necessary," he promised.'
How he squares this proclamation of a light-handed government with a simultaneous declaration of support for sending ever-increasing numbers of Americans to other countries to lay waste to them, I do not know. Presumably we'll hear more about that later.
