RINOs gonna RINO. – It’s pretty much impossible to get Republicans-in-name-only Pat Toomey and Mitt Romney to get in front of a camera or a reporter to talk about any aspect of ObamaGate, the single most heinous scandal in American history in which the legal apparatus of an entire presidency was brought to bear to fix the 2016 elections and then to execute an attempted coup d’etat on American soil. About all of that, these two senators remain studiously mute, as useless in a fight as a couple of terracotta warriors.
But boy, let President Donald Trump do something they don’t like, and they’re the first to rush out and do everything they can to support the Democrat/media propaganda narrative. Yesterday, both senators decided to pan the President of their own political party, such as it is, for his completely justified and righteous pardon of a harmless old man who was clearly railroaded by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his band of Clinton/Obama thugs, a clearly corrupt Obama judge, and a fixed jury.
Here’s what Romney had to say:
No concern about the Mueller Gestapo-like abuse of process; no concern about the judge, Amy Berman Jackson, who exercised a series of abuses to tilt the case in the prosecution’s favor; no concern about a jury that was packed with anti-Trump Obama loyalists; just condemnation of the President who chose to exercise an authority he has all-too-rarely chosen to use. This is the very essence of Mitt Romney.
For his part, Toomey chose to forego the simple Twitter route – good for him – and issue a formal statement in which he attempted – in typical DC Swamp fashion – to take all sides of the controversy:
“The president clearly has the legal and constitutional authority to grant clemency for federal crimes. However, this authority should be used judiciously and very rarely by any president. While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation, in my view, commuting Roger Stone’s sentence is a mistake.
“He was duly convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional investigation conducted by a Republican-led committee. Earlier this week Attorney General Bill Barr stated he thought Mr. Stone’s prosecution was ‘righteous’ and ‘appropriate’ and the sentence he received was ‘fair.’ Any objections to Mr. Stone’s conviction and trial should be resolved through the appeals process.”
Meh. Folks, what this statement from Toomey really is is the work of the staff of a spineless politician who represents a 50/50 state and is too afraid to take a principled stand on the matter. Toomey’s statement almost makes you want to respect Romney just a little bit, but then you remember it’s Mitt Romney we’re talking about here and that fleeting feeling flies away with the wind.
Not at all surprisingly, the President of the United States of America had something to say to these useless senators in response to their attacks. It is typically glorious:
This is the truth, folks. I defy any of you to find any statements from Romney or Toomey condemning Obama or Biden for their active participation in the ObamaGate conspiracy, which we now know to be the case based on documents in the public record. Go find me one and prove me wrong.
One final piece of information for the record here: The chart below shows how often each of the four most recent POTUS’s used their power commutation:
So, Trump has used his power more often than Bush did, not as often as Clinton, and then there’s Obama: 1,715 commutations, mostly of drug users and dealers and violent offenders. Look it up, and while you’re at it, see if you can find any similar harsh condemnation of Obama’s use of this power by Romney, who, after all, opposed him in the 2012 elections as the contemptible GOP nominee.
Romney could have won that election had he chosen to run a competent and aggressive campaign. But he clearly had no stomach for the battle; either that, or he intentionally threw the election. The result was a second term for Obama in which he was freed from having to moderate himself knowing that he would never have to face the voters again.
And that, friends, was the four year period that created the political conditions that made it possible for Donald Trump to run for and win the office of the presidency, as the public recoiled from those long years of incremental socialism, open borders and a give-away-the-store foreign policy that included planes filled with cash destined for Tehran and U.S. interventions in 8 separate civil wars in the Middle East and Africa.
The irony of Mitt Romney is that, had he campaigned as aggressively against Obama as he has done against President Trump, he would have become the 45th president instead of his tormentor. If Romney is looking for someone to blame for Trump, all he has to do is look in the mirror.
That is all.
Romney is a very bitter man. A visceral Trump hater same as Hillary. Neither can get over losing to Trump. Can’t let it go....
Romney is a draft-dodging, warmongering, coward of a man.
Mitt’s defeat in 2012 saved us from President H. Clinton. She would have beat him like a drum.
He took a dive. Deliberately, by design. The next day, wife and I requested documents to unaffiliate from the Stupid Party and within a matter of days, we became independents.
We shouldn’t be paying ANY attention to this publicity-seeking attention whore.
Romney left Massachusetts with a string of DNC judges.
NONE from the GOP.
Sen. RomneyCARE <=== subhuman predator
Roger’s video response, calls Myth butt-hurt loser.

Mitt, you were as bad a candidate as there has ever been cept maybe George McGovern.
Quit your bitching ya little sissy.
You look like a spoiled little bratty girl there pal.
“Mitt Romney, you’re as phony as your hair color” - Roger Stone’s mic drop
Does this guy have any chance of holding this seat when he is up? Are there enough Mormons to keep him there indefinitely?
I had to end my GOP designation twice to make it stick. First time it was because of NoName taking a dive and letting Sarah Palin dangle; by the start of the next cycle, I realized my online change had not done anything, so I sort of shrugged my shoulders.
But when Romney - and Ryan - blatantly rolled over and displayed their bellies, I went to the courthouse and made my change to no party affiliation stick. Mitt Romney beslimes everything he touches.
The swamp snake Romney image would make a good political cartoon.

He’s got a safe seat for as long as he wants it...
Primary voting for Republicans is equally as important as voting in the general elections. Many a good conservative Republican candidate in a close race has been primaried out because of votes cast by former Republicans for an Independent Party candidate.

Pierre Delecto?
Toomey used to be worth a damn.
Sadly, not anymore.
Maybe President Trump should stop endorsing Bush League Republicans like Romney, McCain and Grahamnesty.
He’s making it very hard for us to do the swamp draining that only we can do.
