Gee we have to play this game with you guys forever?
Romney is a hardcore, lifelong, liberal, that is why he chose Massachusetts to run in instead of Utah, which he considered, it is also why Reagan was enough to drive him from the GOP, and why Romney became a supporter of, a fund raiser for, and a voter for, democrats, it is why he ran to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy on the homosexual agenda and gays in the military and gay scout leaders and was more passionate than Ted on abortion, it is why he was pro-abortion since at least 1963 and fund raised for Planned Parenthood (which he lied about until a photo surfaced), and was so passionate in his pro-abortion arguments.
Romney isn’t just dishonest, he is a pathological liar, his history is full of being caught in massive embarrassments and major lies once a photo, or video, or audio tape emerges, he lies when he doesn’t need to and some lies, such as Reagan was”adamantly pro-choice” he will spread for years, he has lied about who and where he was when his religion accepted blacks to equality, he lies about his draft evading, he used to lie about he and his father having marched with Martin Luther King, he lied extensively about his illegal aliens, he lied about the conversation that he claimed converted him to life just in time to run for president, it is compulsive with him.
Not a game...
It's supposed to be discussion.
I'll repeat it again, in case you did not read it the first time.
I never believed, nor will I ever believe that Romney, as you put it, "is a consummate liar'.
I went through that entire election cycle reading the attack pieces on him, and of those with some degree of evidence, the conclusions drawn could be slanted anyway you wanted to slant them. I thought they did their best to diffuse some of it, but it was relentless, and frankly, quite hateful. (especially the Mormon stuff)
But he did not take it personal.
Why you feel the need to rehash it all here, and to me in particular, is something I expected when I posted on this thread.
Your opinion is quite clear, and I would only ask that you treat mine in the same way.
I view Romney as run as a failed attempt, politically.
I do not view Romney as quintessential evil and a bad person.
I try very hard to separate politics from personal. If I reacted personally to everyone that disagrees with me or gets personal, I would be wanting to kill most everyone I have ever met, because personally, I find most everyone to have grievous faults. (including you) So I don't go there.
Romney has failed on two attempts to be elected president.
For that reason, and that reason alone, it is politically not expedient to run him again, no matter how you might feel about him. Politically, or personally.
