Personal Rant; Mitt Quit

NY Times had two articles this morning analyzing why Romney's campaign failed. They cited his Mormon faith as an obstacle, his strategical mistakes, his past record of flip-flopping. I've read how some praise him for "heroically" dropping out of the race to ensure that a pro-war candidate would get elected to office--i.e., McCain.

Now I'll tell you why he really failed. He didn't have it in him to fight to the end. He quit. Gave up. Forfeited. Threw in the towel. Hoisted down the colors. Waved the white flag. Turn tail and ran. Cried "Uncle". Handed in his resignation. Surrendered. Saw it unprofitable and decided to cut his losses--and abandoned his supporters.

He had more money than any other republican candidate. He had decent support. But he quit, because in the end, he put himself in front of the principles he claimed to believe in. So, when push came to shove, he really did not believe in them, only in himself.

Ron Paul, in contrast, put his principles and his supporters first. He was reluctant to run. He had no personal ambition for personal power or ego to appease.He entered the race not for himself, but because he believes his message of liberty was more important than himself. So he stepped forward into the fray. And after eight of eleven Republican candidates have dropped out, he is still standing.

So no matter what excuses are made for Romney, don't forget. He quit. Thank goodness we found out his true measure before he was elected President.
