Romney sure spent a lot of his own money and time and had his people try and destroy other candidates' reputations for someone who 'didn't want it.' Romney sucked as a candidate, not because he didn't want it but because he sucked as a candidate.
If Romney won the general election as a Democrat (where his political views actually place him), I would say that he won't be as bad as the typical Democrat President but the Republicans can do so, so, so much better than this clown.
Actually Romney’s son said his Pa didn’t want the job. Romney’s affect displayed a lackluster candidate. Failed to take on Obama. Seemed bored to me the entire campaign. I voted for him in the end, simply because Obi was, and still is, and utter horror as a President. But Romney needs to sit this one out...
That's a fascinating proposition. Or consider how you would perceive Romney if all along, he was indeed a Democrat and the Republican party was still ... well, the kind of party Romney would consider opposition. *sigh*
If he was a Democrat, we'd fear him and perceive how dangerous he is in terms of that faux "businessman's efficiency" regarding making government more "streamlined," better at suppressing and controlling and managing you and your employer and your food sources and certainly your relationships with doctors ...
And that's really the nut of it. How big is this tent? As far as I'm concerned, if a guy who upholds the same ideas and has the same track record as Romney in philosophy of how government works, the concepts of state-run medicine, gays in the military, abortion, gun control, environmentalism, and forced accommodation of same-sex romance including "legal marriage" or else face discrimination punishment from the government ....
.... If that kind of guy belongs in this tent, then this is the wrong tent. Then the Republican Party is the wrong party. Facts is facts.
We need another party because guys like Romney are in the Republican party and there's not a damned thing we can do about it.
