Hate me if you wish.

[sheshe2]

Yet Mitt Romney gave a great speech. He did. Fact.

This coming from a Massite that hated him as our Governor.

[dalton99a]

1. He did good.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I agree; it was a very good speech.

[blm]

3. Uh, she -

You are unhateable.

[sheshe2]

16. Dayum.

You picked a great day to say that. I needed that more than you know.

Love you, blm.

[blm]

34. 😘

[sheshe2]

36. Back at ya!

[LizBeth]

4. He did. But he was straight, that gets applauds. Seems like Romney is trying to take McConnell

power. I think he is really disgusted by this.

[sheshe2]

31. Frankly, I am glad they are FINALLY speaking out.

Long over due.

[LizBeth]

32. +1

[elleng]

5. Many agree with you.

[Vivienne235729]

6. Agreed. I thought he did well too.

[underpants]

7. Yes he did.

The joke about losing a POTUS election was funny

[dem4decades]

8. It's hard to fault a Republican when they take to the floor and defend the Constitution.

[MontanaMama]

9. It was okay.

He forgave my senator Steve Daines and I am not willing to do that. Daines was a seditious asshole as late as this morning. No. Just no.

[BlueIdaho]

10. Mittens is a weird guy

I’m struck by how much older he looks now than when he ran for President.

[standingtall]

11. I have no reason hate you

but you should be reminded Mitt 47% Romney is still a dirt bag, republicans went out and found the worlds biggest dirt bag in Donald Trump and now Romney looks like a nice guy and a man of integrity by comparison.

[sheshe2]

24. I am well aware of all he has done.

I do not need to be reminded of it. He was my Governor and was an elitist ass.

I am giving him credit for something he said today and not everything he has done in the past or may well do in the future.

[kimbutgar]

13. I agree

I liked him before he ran for President. And tonight I naughtily remembered my mini crush on mittens.

[sheshe2]

33. Ha!

[42bambi]

14. She, I find you refreshing. Always on target.

[Kaleva]

15. yes.

[llmart]

17. Can't hate you because I agree.

I posted in another thread that I'm impressed with how he's conducted himself throughout this whole election debacle. I'm not saying I would vote for him, but he's the only decent GOPer in Congress.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

18. I was just saying I hate that these fuckers make me appreciate Romney.

And I felt somewhat sorry for him in that airport.

At least he voted to remove that prick Trump. Which is more than the rest of the repigs can say.

[PufPuf23]

19. McConnell and Pence also made strong statements in support of

democracy and against the actions of Trump.

I suspect for Romney like McConnell and Pence are providing shade on themselves so as to have a political future independent of their support for Trump. Romney has not sunk to the depths of the others. Even Lindsey Graham this evening says that the individuals that carried out the insurrection should be punished to the full extent of law. Will be interesting to see once Biden is in office if these GOP individuals will be so bi-partisan.

[doc03]

20. He has brief moments of showing a backbone once in a while nt

[ismnotwasm]

21. I will of course, take your word for it

Not having listened to it.

[PatSeg]

22. I really don't like the guy,

but he does have his moments. When he's right, he's right. He gave an impressive speech during the impeachment hearings as well.

[AmericanCanuck]

23. He also stood his ground when harassed at the airport and in the plane

[GusBob]

25. Gawd remember when he ran against BO?

How we hated him

Trump has really changed things, mostly for the worse

But Mitts an OK dude now

[mcar]

26. No hate. Credit where it's due

He also gets credit for his death eye stare while Traitor Hawley meeped.

[smirkymonkey]

27. She, we are on the same page.

Kind of funny since I just went on his website and thanked him for his honor and integrity. I did say that I disagreed with him politically, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due. He went out on a limb, and I must say I admire him for his decency.

BTW, I am also a MA resident, however was on the west coast during the Romney years. So I never voted for him, but I have no ill will for him. He is a decent person as far as I can tell. Well, for a republican, anyway.

[sheshe2]

35. I know you are a Massite.

No, I never voted for him either. He was a absentee Gov, just like Weld.

He did good for once...twice with his impeachment vote. For those I give him credit.

[Green Line]

29. I'm another Massite who hated him as Governor

I agree he gave a great speech. The insanity of today’s Republicans makes him seem normal.

[herding cats]

30. The applause in the chamber was from the Dems only, per Cuomo on CNN

So, we're in good company for thinking it was a good speech.

[sheshe2]

38. Thank you for telling me that, herding cats.

Good to know.

[grantcart]

37. 100% correct and I could never hate you

[bullwinkle428]

39. Grudging respect, given that he at least had a shred of credibility via the vote to

convict on one of the impeachment charges. Every other Repuke had zero, IMO.

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. Who could hate you for this sheshe?

I won't allow it. I agree with you on this. Credit where credit is due.
