The Reluctant Candidate

.
As the Republican party get closer to officially nominating their candidate of choice for president, many former candidates are now supporting Mitt Romney they had smeared, attacked, and exposed. From the disgraced former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich, who called Mitt Romney a moderate and a liar, now believes he (Mitt Romney) is best suited to "defeat (President Barack) Obama in November.
.
Mitt Romney gained his fortune the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. Mitt Romney avoided the Vietnam war by doing missionary "work" at a chateau in France. Mitt Romney's only success in business was turning around troubled companies by gutting them or buying them out to turn for a profit at the expense firing most of the workers (mostly hourly). Most of all, Mitt Romney cannot connect with the middle-class.
.
Michele Bachmann blamed Mitt Romney for "providing the blueprint for Obama care..." and suggested that Romney "would be another Obama" (whatever that means), then feigned excitement when introducing Romney as "the next president" to be elected in November. Rick Santorum was also reluctant to give his support to Romney citing he (Romney) "had more funds to run negative TV ads", but then noted he (Santorum) had to leave the campaign trail to care for his youngest daughter with a rare genetic disorder. Let us pray for Rick Santorum's daughters' wellness and quick recovery.
.
The only one candidate left in the running is Ron Paul. Although virtually silent, Ron Paul is still speaking at "town hall" meetings speaking to Republican and Independent voters. The use of quotation marks on town hall is on purpose. When holding a "town hall meeting", it is to speak to all of the people, not just a specific group.
.
For the Republican party itself, the GOP (Grand Old Party) cannot hide their disdain for the former Massachusetts governor. The GOP itself has splintered into many subgroups that real conservatives can no longer voice their concern without drawing fire from the fringe elements that have outnumbered them within the party and threatened to "vote them out of office" for not being "right" enough. They are now hostages within their own party.
.
The Republican party and the RNC (Republican National Convention) have no real policy to present other than to continue their mutiny by making President Obama a one-term president by any means necessary. Republicans in the House and Senate refuse to work with Democrats and refuse to give the president any credit for the success of turning the economy around, revitalizing the US auto industry, putting millions Americans back to work in meaningful permanent jobs, and the death of Osama Bin Ladin.
.
Under a Romney administration, jobs will again leave American shores, corporations will be able to send their profits to off-shore tax shelters (Ryan budget plan: "Territorial Tax"), unions will be broken up, and Romney will continue to enjoy his hobby of firing people at will. It was noted that recently on the campaign trail, a Romney "practical joke" led to a chamber maid to be fired by hotel management when a e-mail was sent to complain about "poor services and short sheets on the bed". Even though the "joke" was conducted by Romney's staff members, the maid lost her job with no (reported) attempt from the candidate or the Romney team to correct the matter.
.
The RNC know that Mitt Romney will lose because there are no issues he (Mitt) can win against President Obama. So, with fake smiles and feigned support, Mitt Romney has become the GOP's reluctant candidate.
