Romney Is Now a Bigger Conservative Villain Than Socialism

Republicans gathered at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday to cheer on their conservative heroes. But they also had an opportunity to shame GOP politicians they deemed not pro-Trump enough, casting ballots for the “phoniest ‘conservative’ lawmaker.”

Next to a stuffed donkey with a fake elephant’s snout, attendees voted for the likes of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who led the ballot count as of Thursday afternoon. One prominent GOP Trump critic wasn’t an option, though—because everybody already knew he’d win in a landslide.

There are becoming a cluster of disgruntled Never Trumpers. Romney can start hanging out with Kasich and Bill Kristol. Maybe they can sell cruise tickets to Democrats.

Romney has always been a Democrat in an R jersey.

He ran to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy for Senate in 1994.

“Severely conservative”, my aunt Fanny.

Anything he does in the future is sure to feel a huge backlash as well.

All sorts of people available. Bill Weld, another former MA governor, now a NYer, for instance.

“Who do Americans consider the bigger villain, William Howe or Benedict Arnold”?

BINGO!

Bush League Republicans consider winning to be successfully blocking border security, amnesty for illegal aliens and turning the USA into North Mexico, not who wins any particular election.

Extremely stupid title.
Mitt Romney’s father was a Fabian socialist.
Mitt followed in his footsteps.

Basically the author is trying to convince people that socialism is worse than socialism.

I suggest researching the topic before publishing.

No it’s not.
Look into who the Romney family’s associations have been with for the past ninety years.

Exactly. Why give the jagoff an overinflated opinion of himself?

He is nothing more than a mini-McCain . . . with the emphasis on mini.

Romney IS socialism. Remember, this is the guy that introduced RomneyCare in Mass. He is and always has been a far leftist. He only pretends to be a conservative for votes.

Let’s put this in perspective: In wars, the enemy are caught, then put in isolation (POW) camps. Once the war is over, they are repatriated with their country who (ostensibly) will become proponents of the new system.

However, traitors are executed.

I don’t “hate” socialist college pricks, to a degree, as much as I hate the indoctrinators, who make up most of the traitor class. Romney represents the most vile of humans: those that gain our trust, allowing our weaknesses to show, then stabs us in those weaknesses. This is the huge reason why I will always view Romney in the same stratospheric light as I do communist and nazi oppressionists of the past.

Utah Morons believed him, but then again they are very gullible, they believe in Joseph Smith’s delusions.

What’s worse? The enemy at the gates, or the traitor in your own camp?

Romney is someone who masquerades as a conservative, seeks and gets conservative votes, and then betrays his constituents and supporters. He's done this repeatedly throughout his career.

Give this much to Sanders - he's never tried to hide the fact that he's a socialist lunatic. Romney tries to hide the fact that he's a Democrat in the Clinton/Kerry mold while soliciting support from conservatives - he's a worm.

A traitor is always worse than the natural enemy.

I’ll tell you, I had to take the biggest Romney this morning. Damn thing wouldn’t flush down. Had to get the plunger. But eventually, it went down.

I agree with your statement entirely, although I think some here don’t understand this point.
