Wilson called Romney “an enthusiastic believer in American exceptionalism” and called him “a spectacular example of it.”

Yea Pete, whatever. Has any Romney ever put on a uniform in service of our Country?

Those who have served in uniform are a much greater example of exceptionalism.

The only thing spectacular about Mitt is his ability to lie and pretend to be a Conservative, while keeping a straight face.

First of all, that’s not what “American exceptionalism” means.

But even if I go with poor stumbling Pete Wilson’s idea of it, I have to say that the only exceptional thing about Romney was that he was born rich and into a politically powerful family who were members of a closed and powerful cult - and managed to make lots more wealth and gain much more influence through his contacts. Oh, wait, that’s not even exceptional...

Now if Gingrich, an Army brat, had done this, I would probably agree that it was exceptional. But there’s nothing exceptional about Romney except his level of deceit.

I don't think ANYONE in his family has.

On that note, Thomas Sowell has some great commentary on Mitt’s conservative bona fides here:
