It’s official. Mitt Romney has thrown his hat in the arena.

Mitt is usually described as a conservative Republican by the corporate media, although he ruled Massachusetts like a liberal.

Romney was a big government statist by any measure. He promoted government mandates for citizen expenditures and levies and fines, pushed Romneycare, proudly boasted a pro-abortion stance, advocated governmental recognition of homosexual adoption rights like any other far left Democrat pandering to the preferential treatment by the state of selected so-called minorities.

Romney kicked off his campaign in New Hampshire today by accusing “Mr. Obama of failing to live up to the promise of economic recovery he made in his 2008 campaign.” Mitt went on to blame Barry Obama “for high unemployment, rising gasoline prices, falling home values and a soaring national debt,” according to the New York Times.

Does anybody actually believe the president – the chief teleprompter reader – controls the rate of inflation, unemployment, or the rise in gas prices?

Unfortunately, millions of Americans apparently still believe after decades of continual let downs and broken promises that the president is a magician. Recall dizzy voters who actually thought Obama would perform economic miracles. “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help he is going to help,” said Peggy Joseph at an Obama speech in Florida during his campaign in 2008.

“At the time, we didn’t know what sort of a president he would make,” Mr. Romney said as he made his announcement from a family farm in New Hampshire. “Now, in the third year of his four-year term, we have more than promises and slogans to go by. Barack Obama has failed America.”

The New York Times says Romney will make attacks on Obama the centerpiece of his campaign “as he seeks to present himself as the inevitable choice for Republicans eager to reclaim the White House.”

“We will return responsibility and authority to the states for dozens of government programs – and that begins with a complete repeal of Obamacare,” he said in his speech. “From my first day in office my No. 1 job will be to see that America once again is No. 1 in job creation.”

This from the man who on April 12, 2006, signed a law requiring every citizen in Massachusetts to buy health insurance under penalty of law.

“If it were not for Romney, with crucial assistance from the Heritage Foundation and George W. Bush, it’s extremely unlikely that Obama would have passed his universal health-care law last year,” writes Ryan Lizza for The New Yorker. “Romney’s real problem is not just that he supported a mandate, but that he showed Democrats the political and procedural path to passing a universal-health-care bill in America.”

Now Mitt swears he will dismantle Obamacare. He claims to be a sworn conservative opposed to abortion. Like any other establishment politician, he will say whatever is required to trick largely somnolent voters.

It will certainly be an interesting campaign season now that Republicans have borrowed heavily from the libertarian playbook. Sarah Palin is the diva of the establishment Tea Party and her bandwagon is currently ambling down the road, even though she has yet to officially declare to be in the running.

Ron Paul, the only true constitutionalists and libertarian, announced his candidacy weeks ago, but as usual he is mostly ignored by the corporate media as it fawns over the hand-picked candidates vying for the job of head teleprompter reader.
