Mitt's CPAC Moronic Moment

Marc Ginsberg

Mitt Romney was surely running low on red meat to throw into the mosh pit of C(onversative) PACers yesterday when he reached deep into his Coleman cooler and threw the following gem of a meatball into the claws of his voracious right wing audience:

"Frankly, in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."

Oh? Pray tell, Mr. Romney, what could you have possibly meant by that?

Did you mean that the longer you stayed in the race you would be making it easier for those dreaded Democratic Party white flag wavers to win against a fractured, demoralized GOP? The Democratic Party you allege would surrender to Al Qaeda? The Democratic Party you allege would refuse to fight in Afghanistan? The Democratic Party you allege would hightail it out of Iraq?

Sorry Mr. Romney. This conservative pig won't fly. You were forced out of this race because the voters rejected your expedient conversion to conservatism. Calling into question the patriotism of Democrats is the best reason I can think of to thank Republican voters for giving you the boot.
