Conservative Republicans like Levin are the Frog, Romney is the Scorpion.
A scorpion wanted to cross a river, so he asked the frog to carry him. The frog refused because the scorpion would sting him.
“That would not be logical,” explained the scorpion, “because if I sting you we will both drown.”
So the frog agreed to carry the scorpion.
Half way across, the frog felt a terrible pain - the scorpion had stung him.
“There is no logic in this,” exclaimed the frog, as he began to sink beneath the waves.
“I know,” replied the scorpion, “but I cannot help it - it is my character.”

Exactly, but after years of rants, and words and books about conservative principles and the feckless GOP establishment, why are they falling for it all again this time? That to me, is the question.
