I'm ashamed I voted for that dork in 2012, but the alternative was far, far worse.

Don't beat yourself up too bad. In many ways, he was perfect: his record of voting "present" meant his speeches were believable. His skin color beckoned to whites who saw the end of race as a topic. My, how that blew up. And the option was McCain, who claim to fame was as the t*$d in the GOP punchbowl.

Whenever you hear someone say, “It’s not the money, it’s the principle of the (whatever).” You can always be sure that, in truth, it’s the money.

He earned every Mittens Romney cliché thrown at him for the last 2 decades.

I ponder back over the last 20+ years of my voting history, especially those votes for GWB, and wonder why it took so many years to wise up. I didn't vote for O but in retrospect after Romney's loss in 2012 I knew that I was glad that Romney did lose (and McCain as well)...because it's easy to recognize a loser if you see them often enough. Great article. Enjoying my subscription immensely

Perfect amount of truth draped in cynical sarcasm. No other way to discuss the subject of Mittens Romney unless you get drunk.

Romney is a disgusting, corrupt tool!! What a conscienceless buffoon. We need to drum all the dross out of the party, and the nation if we can!!

He was pro-life until he ran for senate when his consultants told him he wasn't in the middle of an editorial board. I often wonder how a LDS kid from Michigan who married his high school sweetheart and has been a great husband and father, been a dynamic leader in his church for many years could be such a weak and fickle politician?

You’re right, Emerald - Mittens is a grifter. I regret having voted for him and both Bushes. Hopefully, the good citizens of Utah will not re-elect him in ‘24.

Mitt was able to win the Governership of Massachuessetts. Frankly, if you can do that, as a Republican, then I have absolutely no use for you.

GOP rule #1. Massachuessetts must absolutely hate you. That way, I know you are okay. If Massachuessetts likes you, then you are not what is needed.

When a man has no principles, he becomes the perfect screen for the like-minded. It's a different version of Obama, who was an absolutely empty suit and whose supporters were free to project onto him whatever they wished. With Romney, it's a matter of sticking to the points that were agreeable to the listener and ignoring the rest.
