>>>He looks as if his response to 9/11 would be to pick up a phone and dictate a memo to his *girl*... That is why I believe Romney lost: because his response in an emergency would be to force someone else to do research until the threat goes away.That's a shallow judge of his character based solely on his looks. Actually he's the CEO who when a co-workers teenage daughter went missing shut down his offices and flew the entire staff to NY to look for her. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/245/ He and his sons also rescued some drowning boaters at Lake Winnipesaki. That's when I knew he was trying to be a little too "Reagensque". If anything his fault is just that he tried too hard.
This go around apparently the qualifications for Pres. are being a back stabbing liberal. He went down because he doesn't meet those standards. The Dinosaur media and DNC hit machine hit him more than any other candidate. They feared him the most and were able to get some Pubbies to believe their lies about him.
(The media and the DNC) feared him the most and were able to get some Pubbies to believe their lies about him.The shocker to me was the fact that there are just as many class-warfare and success-hating people in the Republican party as there are in the Democratic party, despite claims to the contrary.
I can't count the number of posts on FR and callers on talk radio who just oozed hate for Mitt Romney solely because he is wealthy, successful, good looking, and speaks intellectually.
They would say nothing about his policies, just his "money."
It was disgusting to the max for me to suddenly realize the Party... the movement (conservative) which I so loved these past 30 years is so filled with coveting anti-wealth types.
