32. I knew nothing of Romney before the primaries
Fri Aug 10, 2012, 08:17 AM
Aug 2012

but once I saw him turn his back on his Mass healthcare reform, I knew that he was a dick. And his bullshit explanation that Romneycare was ok for Mass but not for other states, simply left me flabbergasted. What kind of phoney-baloney argument is that. Then the whole bit about lowering taxes on the rich SOME MORE!!! and embrace of the Ryan budget, and turning his back on pro-choice for women, and just about every other position that he ever held just to pander to the right wing crazies and creationist southern Baptists, well it pretty much revealed what a horrible candidate he was. As much of a clown as Santorum is, Rick was right about Romney being a real dork. I know that we're not supposed to use the Nazi label on anything other than the real historic Nazis, but really!! Romney's dissembling and big lies have got to be right up there with Goebbels and Nixon.

The Republican pros have got to be sick to their stomachs over such an unworthy candidate. The smart ones, like Jeb Bush are laying low and How they can stand up there and go rah-rah Romney must make them want to vomit. But they don't. Which just shows how totally bankrupt is the Republican brand.
