Christine O'donnell Endorses Mitt Romney!

Dear Readers,

News flash! I officially endorse Mitt Romney!

And you wanna know who else endorses Romney? A whole ton of important people!

Earlier this election cycle, I thought maybe Michele Bachmann or Herman Cain would be the best conservative candidate, but then Michele starting looking unelectable because she said crazy things, and Herman Cain had all those sexual harassment allegations (and let’s remember that he’s innocent until proven guilty). But now that election day is getting closer and closer, I’ve become more sure and more sure that Mitt Romney is the Republicans’ best bet.

I’ve talked about this before, but there are still so many “tea-party” conservatives that don’t like Mitt, they call him a RINO or an elitist or a pawn of "the establishment," whatever that means. They say he’s just like Obama, in his secret heart. I don’t understand what they’re talking about. I think they don’t like Romney because they don’t like his image: robotic, salesman-like, gentlemanly, politically cautious, clean-cut.

But then of course there are the real problems that conservatives have with Mitt, like his change in positions on issues like abortion and gay marriage, and of course there's Romney's biggest impediment to winning over conservatives: his health care system in Massachusetts. And then there are some evangelical Christians who just don't want to vote for a Mormon. I don't discount these issues, but I wish that all the Romney-bashers would take a chill pill, look at the issues calmly, and come to the conclusion that Mitt Romney is the best we've got.

Anywho… when I sat down to write this what I really wanted to talk about was endorsements… so let me start talking about that. (Wow, what a smooth transition that was!)

Check out all of Mitt Romney’s fantastic endorsements!!!

Governor Chris Christie. This guy’s doing great in New Jersey. He’s fighting public-sector unions, un-boondoggling boondoggles, and generally acting like a grown-up in a state run by teenagers.

Representative Thad McCotter. This guy is brilliant. He marches to the beat of his own drum. I’ve watched a lot of his speeches, and I’ve looked at where’s Mcotter’s been on the issues, and he’s just great. He was right about supporting Mubarak in Egypt, he was right about the stimulus and Obamacare, and he’s right about Mitt Romney being the best Republican presidential candidate out there.

Soon-to-be Senator Jeff Flake. He’s a career politician, for sure, but he’s ultra fiscally conservative. He always votes no on extending unemployment benefits, welfare, food stamps, etc. Ron Paul people like him. But Ron Paul people probably like him less now that he has endorsed Romney.

America’s Toughest Sheriff, Joe Arpaio. Okay, um, Sheriff Joe didn’t actually endorse Romney this year, but he did endorse him in 2008. This time around, Sheriff Joe got senile and endorsed Rick Perry, who has no chance of winning. This recent endorsement is especially odd because Arpaio’s claim to fame is his enforcement of illegal immigration laws, but Mitt Romney’s tougher on illegal immigration. Remember, Perry thinks that if you refuse to give in-state tuition deals to illegal immigrant college students, you don't have a heart! By the way, I think Sheriff Joe’s endorsement of Perry is emotionally based. They’re both not academically inclined, you know what I mean? They both like to act really tough, and tough guys like other tough guys. So, when Sheriff Joe says he endorses Perry, what he really means is he's endorsing Romney. Yes, I know what's in Joe's heart better than Joe does. Ha ha ha! I sure am getting presumptuous and crotchety in my late twenties. But you know what I'm saying, right?

Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer- these gentlemen and a lady are professional pundits, so they usually don’t officially endorse candidates, but I’ve kept up with these people enough to know that they would vote for Mitt Romney. And these folks are really really conservative!

And to save my favorite for last…

Christinne O’donnell! Remember her? For all you tea-partiers out there, Christine O’donnell is the ultimate tea-partier!!! And she’s endorsing Mitt Romney!!! Now I ask you, why would a clearly anti-establishment woman like her endorse Romney if he's the epitome of "the establishment?" Oh, O'donnell's secretly part of "the establishment," or maybe she used to be a true tea-party Washington outsider but now she's trying to be a doorkeeper in the House of Establish, is that right? See, all this talk about "the establishment" is over simplistic. I mean, wasn't Ronald Reagan part of "the establishment?" And why does "the establishment" have to be pronounced in such negative tones? There is a good thing about stability in government, about the peaceful transition of power from one group of people to another group of people, elected democratically. I actually really dislike it when people use ignorant absolutes, such as, "Oh, we ought to just throw all the bums out. Never vote for any incumbent. As soon as anybody gets to Washington D.C., they drink the Kool-Aid and get all stupid." This endorsement makes me like O'donnell more and more. I might have thought that she would have endorsed Michele Bachmann, because of the female thing, and because then when inevitably Michele lost, Christine could look like a principled outsider with tea-party credibility. But it turns out that the lovely lady Christine is a little more sensible than that. Hooray!

Vote for Mitt Romney!

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

P.S. By the way, Mitt Romney’s endorsements beat up Newt Gingrich’s endorsements. Seriously, what leaders in the conservative movement endorse Gingrich? Hardly any!
