GOP Commits Political Suicide By Mitt by Mark

Most of you will be familiar with the concept of “Suicide by Cop,” the practice by which somebody who is unwilling to do the deed themselves, instead puts themselves a position to be threatening, thereby drawing fire from police. In the same way, the Republican Party now seems poised to commit political suicide by nominating Mitt Romney. It really wouldn’t take a great deal of explanation were all of my countrymen versed in the principles of capitalism. Sadly, they are not, so let us make them plain: Mitt Romney is not a capitalist, but he will be attacked as one. Just like his false conservatism will lead to attacks on our philosophy, so too will capitalism come under attack even though neither he nor we any longer practices it.

 

Many people have defended Mitt Romney over the last several days when he was attacked by Gingrich and Perry on the basis that his work at Bain harmed workers and destroyed jobs. Others were quick to point out that this sounded very much like an attack on capitalism, in almost the same manner that the left attacks it. For my part, I pointed out that Romney has enough baggage that you could easily assail his record without seeming to attack capitalism, and I offered up a few specifics. The problem is that much of this is complicated information, and most people simply don’t have the time or patience to sort through all the details. I find that frustrating, because we cannot render just opinions on the matter of Romney’s qualifications for the office of President if we’re not willing to chase this all the way into the weeds.
