Romney always reminds me of Nixon with his ever-changing, oportunistic positions (or lack of thereof)...These two men share the same egomaniacal trait that the Office of POTUS somehow belongs to them and they'll stop at nothing to get it.

even though the popular vote was really close...would've been funny seeing Nixon lose a close one twice. Then they really wouldn't have Nixon to kick around anymore.

because of their names. Stupid reason, sure. But look what damage Nixon brought to the repugs!

Fox Noise is payback, as Ailes hatched the idea with Nixon and other evil people in his admin.
