Bork: the sound of a fart bubble rising out of your bathwater

Romney will have to go very, very far to appease the religious right. One can only hope that if he does get elected, that he will pull a Ronald Reagan and abandon them once he establishes himself.

But the Religious Right are still stinging from the way that Ronald Reagan (along with Nancy and her house astrologer) tossed them aside as soon as it was politically feasible, and they are not about to let it happen. They already have too many of their people in too many positions of power in government, education, public administration and business.

Actually, he didn’t toss them that far aside. He didn’t follow all his promises, but he kept the majority; and a large number of the rest were cases of being stopped or limited by Congress.

I’ve said this several time, I’ll say it again. Conventional wisdom is wrong. In general politicians try to fulfill their promises, in spirit if not in word.

For this reason I suggest the best way to know that Romney plans to do is to find all the things on which he has not reversed himself (in this campaign season).
