Mitt Romney, Looooooser Again

DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Tired of all this WINNING yet? – The S&P 500 closed at a new record high on Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial average surged by 483 points, and the NASDAQ also recorded significant gains. The markets were buoyed by the acquittal of President Donald Trump by the Senate along with positive indications of progress in developing a vaccine for the Coronavirus. The WINNING is glorious.

In other news, Mitt Romney is still a LOOOOOOOOOOOSER. – The junior Senator from Utah finally managed to secure a place in history, albeit alongside fellow American loooooooosers like Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr, becoming the only Senator in the long history of our nation to vote in favor of removing a president from his own political party.

After telling the execrable Chris Wallace in an interview – that Romney himself requested, think about that – that he would vote ‘yes’ on both articles of impeachment, Romney then went out and delivered a speech, complete with fake tears, on the Senate floor, blaming his idiotic decision on his religion. The gutless hypocrite then tried to have things both ways, actually splitting his vote, voting ‘yes’ on Article 1, but ‘no’ on Article 2.

What a buffoon. What a gutless, mendacious looooooooser this guy is.

Hilariously, within moments after the impeachment trial had finally, blessedly adjourned, the Trump campaign issued an ad that it had already created in anticipation of the Romney betrayal. Check this out:

But nobody cared, least of all President Trump, who also sent the corrupt media mavens into howls of outrage by tweeting out this gem a little later:

In the end, all the loooooooooser Romney could accomplish was to hand the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies a talking point that will last a day or two. The inept creep is so ineffective at influencing his colleagues that he wasn’t even able to bring fellow RINOs like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski along with him into the annals of traitorous infamy.

Romney believes he is safe from the voters back home despite his mendacity, since he doesn’t have to face them again until 2024. But voters – especially those of the conservative stripe – tend to have long memories about the special kind of deceit Romney practiced in getting elected to his senate office in 2018. Remember, Romney ran as “an extreme conservative,” and promised voters he would strongly support the President’s goals. Remember, too, that Romney repeatedly sought a high position in the incoming Trump Administration, and made many public statements filled with glowing praise about the President at that time and during his campaign.

But hey, Romney’s probably going to be running for the presidency in 2024 – that’s what this vote was really all about. He’s just positioning himself as the titular leader for an anti-Trump rebellion within the GOP as the Trump second term winds down. That’s another looooooooser of a proposition, but Mitt loves loooooooosing.

Romney bragged to Wallace that he has “voted with the President 80% of the time.” But that percentage would actually place him among the most disloyal members of the senate Republican caucus. Hell, simply voting to confirm all the federal judges and senior political appointees whose confirmations have come before the Senate would get a Republican within range of the 80% mark.

If he was truly voting his “conscience” as a “deeply religious man,” surely Romney must do the same where appointments to the federal judiciary are concerned, right? Yet, of the dozens of appointees to the courts that have been confirmed by the Senate since Romney showed up, his “conscience” has managed not to find a reason to oppose a single one of them.

But those were quiet votes, away from the glare of the lights that accompany the TV cameras. It seems Romney’s religion and “conscience” only manage to engage when they tell him that voting against the President will grab him hour upon hour of favorable coverage from all the corrupt media Democrat toadies who defamed him during his 2012 run and who hate his guts every other day of the year. That’s a special kind of religion and “conscience” Mendacious Mitt has going for him there.

A political party with any pride and backbone would expel Romney today. But we’re talking about the Republicans here.

That is all.

That statement itself exposes Romney's Mormon supporters as a bunch of frauds.

When he was governor of Massachusetts, his track record on social/moral issues was no different than what you'd see from a Kennedy.

The man is so utterly full of sh!t, and his sanctimonious claim that he voted to convict President Trump because he's a "religious man" has actually turned Mormonism into a national joke.

The good news is that my new truck has a large enough fuel tank that I can drive across Utah without stopping for gas. I'll make sure I write the place off completely in my travels in the West, though I'll be sure to use the entire place as my outdoor bathroom as much as possible.

President Trump needs to immediately ban all Democrat Senators, including Romney, from coming to the Whitehouse.

While it is an exercise in futility, I used Sen. Romney’s online form to ask him to resign. As a Republican U.S. Senator, he represents more than Utah. His idiotic votes affect us all.

I hope he’s getting similar messages from across the country. I hope he understands that whoever runs against him in the next election cycle, is likely to get support from outside of Utah.

Al Gore and Joe Lieberman were Sore Loserman back in 2001... Now there are new Democrats deserving of that title.

The most damning analysis I’ve heard yet of Romney’s “vote of conscience” came from Jesse Waters on The Five:

Romney claimed that he wanted to hear from Bolton because he hoped there might be something exculpatory, that might raise doubts of Trump’s guilt, and spare Romney the heavy burden of having to vote to convict.

But there is a huge problem with Romney’s claim: If he thought it was even a possibility that Bolton might have exculpatory testimony, that is exactly the same as having doubts as to the President’s guilt. One can’t think doubts might be raised without already having doubts.

And as Waters pointed out, the President is innocent until proven guilty - if Romney had doubts, if he thought Bolton’s unheard testimony might have been exculpatory, why did he go ahead and vote to convict anyway? What happened to presumption of innocence?

That’s some “conscience” you’ve got there Romney.

Don’t expect good judgement from someone who professes to believe that you get a planet of your own when you die.

From now on, every RNC mailer (fake survey) will be returned with a note that says, “Not a dime as long as Mitt is in the Senate.”

I know that the note will never be seen by anyone that cares but it makes me feel better. It will only be seen by some minimum wage letter opener in the basement and will be unceremoniously thrown in the trash.

The Republicans need to form a new Committee in the Senate—the Quisling Committee.

Romney gets to be Committee Chairman!

there aren't enough "o"s in the universe to say what a loser he is...
