Romney's Road Not Taken.

  Politics, is a dirty business. Let's face it, how often have you ask yourself  is there really such a thing as an honest politician? I wonder if there has ever been a politician who was totally and completely honest and if so, I wonder if there are any left.If you watch the news no doubt you have heard about a campaign strategy offered to Mitt Romney, by one of his supporters who funds a  Super Pac .The plan was to run a ten million dollar campaign exposing  just how deep and how close Obama, was to his former pastor  Jeremiah Wright. however Joe Ricketts, a wealthy supporter of Mitt Romney's rejected the plan and Romney,  has ask the Super pac to abandon this particular campaign strategy.
  There is little question,  that this is a wise political decision for Romney,  to make. Obama, loves to be perceived as the underdog and he loves to play the political victim therefore, if Romney,  would have launched this type of attack he would be playing right into Obama's hands. Romney, says, he wants to take the high road but I am still left wondering though is Romney choosing not to attack Obama, on this front because he wants to take the high road or is he choosing not to attack Obama, merely because it could hurt him politically? I recall Romney,  saying that he could not help the kind of adds Super Pacs who supported him chose to run against both of his former primary opponents Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. He said he could not tell them what kind of adds the Super Pacs could or could not run.and yet he did ask this particular Super Pac to not run the adds revealing the close knit relation ship between Jeremiah Wright and Obama.
  In his book The Amateur Edward Kline, reveals a great deal about the character of both Barack Obama, and Jeremiah Wright,  from what little I have heard and seen on the news concerning this book it certainly appears to imply that political bribes were at least offered to Jeremiah Wright in an attempt to encourage him to cease his preaching at least until after the 2008 election the book seems to indicate that Wright, did not take the money. I guess, it was just another day of dirty back room Chicago style politics.I don't know if I will buy the book but I have to admit it might make for some interesting reading.
  Whether Mitt Romney,  chose not to attack Barack Obama on his relationship with Jeremiah Wright because he wanted to take the high road or whether Romney,  avoided this strategy because he was just being politically smart we will never really know but I'm willing to try to see the good in Mitt Romney and give him the benefit of the doubt and I think many conservative Americans will too. I'm just glad that Mitt Romney,  decided that this particular political strategy would remain the road not taken. as always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words to think on.
