Vander Plaats: Romney Might Not Be ‘Smart Enough To Be President’ | Bob Vander Plaats, the self-described king-maker and head of Iowa’s FAMiLY LEADER, is not pleased that Mitt Romney is skipping his social conservative presidential forum this weekend. He lashed out at Romney yesterday, suggesting that Romney’s “diss” of his base in Iowa has “national tentacles” and “might prove that he is not smart enough to be president.” Given Vander Plaats spreads blatant lies about the “second hand effects” of homosexuality and laughs at “faggot” jokes, perhaps he is not the best counsel on political finesse.
