The Jitt Rombush Mushy Middle GOP

Greetings from the “delusionally insane right.”

Senator Cruz has used the term “mushy middle” in describing Mitt Romney the other day, and certainly some of the people in that Breitbart article fit the description. The exact sentence in the Breitbart piece by Matt Boyle was: “While posting Lord’s article, (Grover Norquist aide Ryan) Ellis described Cruz and Lord as “from the ‘delusionally insane’ wing of the for-profit Right.”

It is certainly amusing if nothing else as this Breitbart story, the nominal focus of which is immigration, comes amid all the sudden maneuvering between the Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney camps, with stories spilling out that there is no love lost between the two.

But in fact Romney and Bush are so closely aligned ideologically that they might as well be referred to as Governor Jitt Rombush. Mr. Rombush being the endlessly ideal moderate GOP candidate of the Republican Establishment that has been regularly putting forth losing presidential nominees with names like Romney, McCain, Dole, and Ford for decades. Even when they win – Bush 2000 – they managed to lose the popular vote to Al Gore – Al Gore! – and required the Supreme Court to get in the White House door. Not to mention barely scraping by in 2004 with a skin-of-the-teeth, 100,000 votes or so in Ohio for a sitting president to defeat John Kerry. John Kerry! Did I mention that they left the White House in 2009 with a popularity rating lower than a snake’s belly and handed the country over to the Obama Left? Or mention that 1992 Bush 41 outing with 37% of the vote, four years after winning what was called “Reagan’s Third Term” on Reagan’s landslide coattails?

Jitt Rombush is great. A return to Rudy McRomneybee

He's a great social conservative. But he is a Big Government moderate, ala Huckabee. He slanders Ted Cruz as a bomb thrower. He spends too much money. He wasn't leading the charge to slash the budgets and vote against big government ... He voted to double the size of the Department of Education ... He voted to expand Medicare and add free drugs for senior citizens and he has voted for foreign aid.

And when he is confronted with his record in a debate, he is shrill, whiny, defensive, desperate and petulant ...
