In reply to the discussion: Tagg Romney: Father wanted to be president ‘less than anyone I’ve met’ [View all]jmowreader
(53,146 posts)Mitt has a burning desire to be president. How else is he going to erase the last vestiges of his tax bill and one-up Senor Romney?
Running for the job is another matter. Romney is Exhibit A for the theory you can fix anything if you throw enough money at it. He had a message that resonated with the brazillionaires who funded his campaign: your taxes are too high and regulations too many, and I can fix that. Without plutocrat bucks Michele Bachmann would have lasted longer than Romney did, because the guy can't relate to anyone outside his social circles of Other Rich Guys and Mormons. If you're richer than God Romney is probably a great guy to have a conversation over a tall glass of OJ with. If it wasn't for the adultery Herman Cain probably would have gone against Obama, as he was the only GOP candidate who did a reasonable impression of a human.
This is Tagg's explanation as to why Mr. Patriotic Republican couldn't beat the Kenyan. The real reason? Romney is the middleweight runner-up of the Boston Boxing Club who accidentally got in the ring with Barack Klitschko, the heavyweight champion of the world, who didn't take him seriously in the first round...then in the second and third rounds hit him so hard he had to take off his pants to answer the phone.
