Who Cares If He's Catholic? He's a Would-Be War Criminal for God's Sake!

Alexander Cockburn on a man who "says that as president he would bomb Iran tomorrow" — Former “Dumbest Member of Congress” Scorches Romney. The "hard left" CounterPuncher continues:

Romney and Gingrich don’t lag far behind in their ravings against the Islamic Republic. Obama ratchets up sanctions against Iran while supposedly telling Netanyahu that the US will not endorse any attack by Israel on Iran. Only Ron Paul stands out against this deranged chorus. Given a chance, I’ll vote for Paul, even though he hasn’t a prayer of taking over the Oval Office.

Identity politics was rightly derided two decades ago by conservatives. Now it seems, aside from the phenomenally-growing number supporters of the third-place winner (the only yard signs I have seen thus far in my town have been Ron Paul signs), whom Mr. Cockburn reminds us "has won passionate adherents across the political spectrum," everyone else seems to support the guy or gal they'd feel most comfortable with at dinner with.
