The truth about Mitt...

From his son, Tagg about his dad:


It’s not surprising that Romney is keeping himself far from the fanfare and tri-color bunting; he’s kept a low profile since losing the election in November.

Romney’s son Tagg told The Boston Globe in December that his father was never really all that into winning the nation’s highest office anyway.

“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life,” Tagg told the newspaper. “He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention.”

So... what was it ...... a joke and a huge waste of money Mitt????
I did read elsewhere where his wife pushed him into running....

Google is your friend.

Original article: (from The Boston Globe, quoted in your article)

The story behind Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential campaign to President Obama - News - Boston.com

Quote:
More than being reticent, Romney was at first far from sold on a second presidential run. Haunted by his 2008 loss, he initially told his family he would not do it. While candidates often try to portray themselves as reluctant, Tagg insisted his father’s stance was genuine.

“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire to . . . run,” said Tagg, who worked with his mother, Ann, to persuade his father to seek the presidency. “If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention.”

No, you thought the EXCERPT was fodder for your sh*t stirring

Turns out, it wasn't. No one bit on it. You didn't bother to follow the source to see what the context of his statement was. Maybe next time you will check out your sources before posting them.

Guess there's nothing to see here, move along folks.

What are you trying to tell us, Bann? That he posts exactly like NHBoy and all his other MPD's? e.g., Bite on the headline, cut-and-paste what you like but don't bother to read the entire source link.

That's what arrogant people do when they lose- try to save face.
