He screwed over over my candidate, Newt Gingrich, and I had sworn in '07 I'd never vote for Romney, but when the demonic-rats voted against God and Jerusalem at their evil convention, I changed my mind and decided I had to vote against the Marxist by voting for Ryan/Romney and then came Benghazi which cemented the deal.

I thought R&R had an excellent chance of winning, until Romney wouldn't address Benghazi.

until Romney wouldn't address Benghazi.

It's a mortal lock, guaranteed, that Newt sure as hell wouldn't have skittishly treated the bloody butchering of a U.S. ambassador, by yowling foreign savages, as an "Oopsie! Mustn't touch that, for heaven's sake!" election taboo.

I already knew Mittens was political toast, long before that... but: that WAS a ruinously costly (and absolutely, 110% avoidable) "own goal" error, without question.
