Oh, Myth Romney, how do I loathe you! Let me count the ways. (in no particular order)
10. TAXES: As the Governor of Massachusetts, you raised "fees" (taxes) by nearly $730 million. In fact, at a 2008 presidential debate, you said that it's appropriate for governments to charge fees and provide services. And, in 2007, at a campaign event in Iowa, you called flat taxes "unfair." (OnTheIssues.org/NewsMax)
9. HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA: In 1994, you favored allowing unabashed homosexuals to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces. You also favored allowing homosexuals to participate in the Boy Scouts, and you were endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans. (OnTheIssues.org)
8. CLIMATE CHANGE: In 2008, you told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "there’s nothing wrong with dealing with global warming." Of course, it's okay with you as long as it's done on a "global" scale. Oh, and in 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, you introduced the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan, a package of policies that acknowledged the existence of anthropogenic global warming. (John McCain for President via FR/OnTheIssues.org/The Boston Globe, 2004-05-07)
7. SECOND AMENDMENT: In 1994, you favored strong gun control laws. In 2009, however, somehow you managed to convince the NRA to let you address their annual conference. (OnTheIssues.org/KSWT CBS 13 Yuma, Ariz. via FR)
6. RIGHT TO LIFE: In 2002, during your campaign for Governor of Massachusetts, you pledged to “preserve and protect” a woman’s right to choose (abortion). Now, you claim to be staunchly pro-life. (Scripps via FR/OnTheIssues.org)
5. IMMIGRATION/AMNESTY: In April 2009, you said that the Republican Party needs to pass "immigration reform" (amnesty) in order to attract new voters. In a 2005 interview with The Boston Globe, you described the McCain-Kennedy "comprehensive immigration reform" bill as "reasonable." In 2007, you told The San Franciso Chronicle that illegal aliens needed to register with the government so that some could return home while others received legal status. (The Miami Herald via FR/OnTheIssues.org/The San Francisco Chronicle via FR)
4. MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION: In April 2009, you told The Hill newspaper that: "We as Republicans misspeak when we say we don’t like regulation. We like modern, up-to-date dynamic regulation that is regularly reviewed, streamlined, modernized and effective." (The Hill via FR)
3. SOCIALIST ECONOMIC STIMULUS & FINANCIAL SERVICES BAILOUT: In January 2009, while Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were offering the now infamous Porkulus Maximus, you offered a smaller $250 million stimulus proposal. [McCain offered a slightly larger proposal of nearly $450 million.] Nonetheless, government intervention in the economy is decidedly contradictory to the conservative principles of small, limited, Constitutional government. Also, in September 2008, you told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary. (The New York Times/The Detroit Free Press)
2. OBAMACARE = ROMNEYCARE: your signature government-run health care is a dismal failure. Nonetheless, in May 2009, you cited it as one of your "best ideas," praised it in July 2009, and in May 2009 said that "the best path to healthcare reform is to let the American people make their own decisions, not have those decisions forced on them by government." [Never mind that Romney Care forced decisions on individuals residing in Massachusetts.] Oh, and your health care plan formed the basis for Obama's Socialist health care "reform." (The Daily News Record via FR/CATO/The Salt Lake Tribune via FR/The Boston Globe via FR/Fox News via FR/The Boston Globe via FR)
1. Jim Robinson refuses to support you. (FR)
In other words, Mr. Romney, you are a two-bit, flip-flopping, lying, Hispandering, Socialist-loving, globalist son of a (*$#%@. You are a RINO, a Socialist, and a traitor to these United States. Oh, and you praised Obama (CNN via FR) and attacked Palin (Politico via FR) at least once.
You suck. You shill for Obama. You're a younger, slicker, craftier, Mormon Juan McCain. You are too cuddly with the real RINO Juan McCain. Figures. RINOs of a feather flock together...in Rinonia!
Oh, and by the way, as you go down in flames in the 2012 GOP primaries, do us all a favor and take both of the McCains, Giuliani, Huckabee, Grahamnesty, and the rest of the %$(&%@@# anti-American RINOs with you.
JUST SAY HELL NO! TO ALL RINOs!
Ditto, especially the Hispanic pandering. I hate politicians pandering to any group.
YEAH!!!
We gotta defeat this guy early so we don’t have another 2008. No more candidates who divide the party and depress the base.
Bump with approval...
Romney had a 4 year window in which he could prove his “campaign conversion” to conservatism was real. He blew it within months, and now he’s no longer even a viable, last-ditch option for me.
In fact, the Republican Party, as it is today, is not an option for me.
This maltreatment by Republican insiders of Sarah Palin is typical of these liberal aristocrats.
Neato. Who DO you support? Foreign interests should be disclosed.
I dare challenge anyone to find a significant difference between Mitt and BHO (other than that at least liberals get all hot and bothered over BHO.)
Mitt, nobody likes you. So go away.
I'm undecided.
I'll wait until Sarah Palin breaks free of her McCainian electoral heritage by clarifying her fumble on amnesty from the last election cycle.
Good rant, at least up until the Mormon reference. That’s no reason to vote against the guy, and throwing it in takes a little bit away from your other points.
My favorite was #1.
You won't see Romney make another bid because his enormous ego got CRUSHED and the prospect of losing all that money again for the same failed result will put him off.
But he will still run his mouth because it gets his pretty picture published for the Rombots to get all excited about.
Ah, the Mittens considers Sarah’s resignation:
“Damn, that Palin Woman! Jeeves, draw my bath! I need to plot!”
Best,
Chris
You should consider work for the United Nations. They seem to like strongly worded letters and yours should be a cover page for a resume.
BTW, Hispandering? I am going to have to co-opt that one.
Best line? #1 JR thinks... Well he doesn't think of you as you are irrelevant.
Great verve, Great post.
Post on.
The political reincarnation of Juan McLame!
The RINOs hurt my feelings first.
Is there a list I can put my name on? Tapping foot...
