Bad news for Romney

John Bolton has become a surrogate volunteer for Romney, and this does not bode well for presumed Presidential Nominee. Romney could increase his chances if he was true to his own ideals of moderation, but sadly, he has fallen in to the same pit and has surrounded himself with rash men like Bolton.

There was a little hope a few days ago, that the Republicans will wake up and clean the party from radicals who do nothing but destructive and divisive talk that has brought our nation to this sad economic point in history.

It takes one to change the world and one to destroy it.

Senator John McCain’s individualism broke away from being a Republican communitarian momentarily, when he spoke up against Congresswoman Michelle Bachman’s McCarthyistic accusations against fellow Americans, then the community of Republicans joined him, restoring common sense.

Now, John Bolton goes against McCain, Boehner and the other Americans.

Think Progress reports, “Today on Center for Security Policy president Frank Gaffney’s radio show, Mitt Romney foreign policy adviser John Bolton defended Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) call for the U.S. government to investigate suggestions that government employees — including a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — are affiliated with a Muslim Brotherhood plot to infiltrate the U.S. government.”

Romney on Bolton, ““John Bolton insists on good results for America and is someone I respect,” Romney said in December. “I think he’s a fine man with great capacity.”

As a moderate Republican, I am still hoping Romney had better clean up his people. He is studded with Bush men all over, and it is not good news for Romney. I am still undecided, but Romney is not helping either by piling up radical men on his side to make him a less logical choice.
