We all recall the story of Mitt at his boarding school who bullied the young man with the different haircut. We all know that bullies are generally cowards with weak character. Now the tables have turned on Mitt and he is forced to hide from the bullies in his own party.
What would happen to Mitt politically if he were to release his tax returns and it was discovered that during the period of his life when he claimed to be Pro-Choice he had made generous contributions to NARAL, and perhaps other left leaning organizations? Can you imagine the explosion on the right?
Where is John McCain in this controversy surrounding Romney's returns. I think that I recall Steve Schmidt from the McCain campaign saying that there was nothing illegal about the returns they reviewed while vetting Romney for the VP slot in 2008. But I can't help but wonder what McCain and Schmidt know about Romney's tax deductible donations.
Romney is not hiding from the American people in general. Romney is hiding from the bullies in his own party. Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh would have him for lunch. The convention in Tampa would surely call for him to step aside. Little miss Palin would have a field day.
Bullies deserve what they get. In Romney's case the entire country is looking at him as if he were an embarrassed teenage boy who hides his playboy magazines under his mattress hoping to avoid being caught.
