ROMBO PART DEUX: THE LOSER RETURNS

GURPS

The late George Romney led Detroit automaker American Motors Corp. and the three-time Michigan governor ran for president in 1968. Son Mitt claimed he inherited no money from his wealthy father, but it turned out that he “inherited some funds.” As a college student, Mitt had cash for plane tickets and stocks that eliminated the need for work.

Romney fils went on to earn money, as he claimed, “the American way” at Bain Capital. He served as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 and thought he had the chops to become president of the United States, perhaps succeeding where his father had failed. He didn’t exactly get out of the gate in fine style.

In a January 2012 Republican debate, Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith asked, “Governor Romney, there is one thing I'm confused about. You say you don't want to go and round up people and deport them, but you also say that they would have to go back to their home countries and then apply for citizenship. So, if you don't deport them, how do you send them home?”

“The answer is self-deportation,” Romney responded, “which is people decide they can do better by going home because they can't find work here because they don't have legal documentation to allow them to work here. And so we’re not going to round people up.” The Republican wasn’t done.

He is the worst. I'm embarrassed that I actively supported him for POTUS in 2012. Of course, he was running against another 4 years of that shithead Obama, so I pretty much had no choice.

Funny how she gets so bent out of shape when Trump is referred to as inept, incompetent and/or unfit....but she can call Obama a shithead.

Odd how she gets so bent out of shape when she is referred to as spitbubble, but she can call someone else a shithead, a progbot, a snowflake and on and on and on.

But the real cake taker is that she refers to everyone else as a hypocrite!! That is just priceless and makes waking up every morning so much fun!!

the funny thing is that shew would vote for him again the second that he gets the nod from the GOP.
Really depends on who the (D) is, I presume.

If it was Mitt (R) against any of the current (D)'s, I would vote that way, too. However, if Kasich finally swapped parties and got the (D) nod from the DNC, I'd vote for him every day of the week and twice on Sundays before I'd vote for Mitt.

It's a matter of understanding the choices. :buddies:

Then you're a sucker because Kasich is playing you. There's no reason for him to go so hysterically after Trump other than he's dirty and in on the money scam. One can disagree with Trump without resorting to parroting the prog media rhetoric, and yet there Kasich is....banging with his gang and speaking their language. He is no different than Romney, and I'm curious why you're falling for his lies.

Or are you saying that if Kasich went to the Ds, at least he'd be honest for a change?

I'm just saying that, of the choice of Romney v Kasich, I'd vote Kasich. If it was Trump v Kasich, I'd likely vote for Trump again, because Trump seems to be, in some things, more conservative in his actions than Kasich. If it was Scott Walker v. Trump, I'd vote for Walker. If it was Mike Lee v. Trump, I'd vote for Lee. If it was any of the current Dems, I'd vote for Trump.

I thought I'd say if it was Kasich v. Biden I'd just sit it out, but I didn't sit it out when it was Trump v. Clinton - I voted for someone I didn't want to keep out someone I didn't want far more. I'd likely vote if it was Kasich v. Biden, and for Kasich, but I wouldn't like it any more than my vote for Trump.

Here's the problem with that, though: politicians are such egomaniacs that they don't realize people stay home because the politician sucks. The politician thinks that lack of support means that the country is going Left, so they go Left in a misguided attempt at getting elected. When they still fail, they just throw up their hands in despair and start going on all the progbot shows to raise their cred. "See me being a liberal, too? Vote for meeeee!"

McCain made a career out of this. When he won the Senate against someone so heinous they made Darth Vader look like Santa Claus, he whipped out his Sally Field impersonation: "You like me! You really like me! I'ma run for President!"

So he runs, gets the GOP nomination for some ungodly reason, and promptly loses his ass because he sucks and Republicans won't come out for him, even to beat a dumbass like Obama.

Romney, same.

They think they lose because the People suck, but really it's them. And they just can't figure out how Trump won.... NOBODY they cocktail party with liked him. ALL their cohorts wanted Hillary. So how on earth did he become President? Oh! It must be because he cheated! It can't possibly be because the politicians suck and everybody outside their little clique hates them.

Other than "I'd sit it out", I agree with everything you posted. :cheers:

Trump is not a conservative choice, as proven by the appropriations bills he's signed, and the bump stock thing, and some much smaller other stuff. Trump is not a diplomatic statesman, which (at the time of voting) I hated, but I'm pretty ok with now. Trump is not a good gentleman, and I still take issue with that. I would very much like my representative of my government to other governments not make me cringe with his actions. But, that said, I like Trump more now than when I voted for him. Given a better choice, I would not have voted for him, and things would be different. Not saying better, not saying worse, just different.

I can't sit it out. I did not volunteer for military service to "sit it out" when choices like that are out there. I've had to make choices between bad and worse before, and the real goal is to learn how to live through those things, not ignore them.

Kasich v Romney, I'm voting Kasich. Thankfully, it will not now or ever be that choice. I've seen and heard most of the D choices this time around (the ones that have a chance I've heard them all), and that makes the choice much easier.

Meanwhile, I will continue to make choices to help Trump turn more conservative.

Kasich is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I was fooled by Dubya and then Romney - no more.

As you probably know, I'm not a staunch conservative. Nor is much of the country. If Trump takes a hard right turn, he will see the moderates who put him in office stay home on election day. And there aren't enough Ben Shapiros in this country to elect a President.

Trump is fine right where he is.

But, you ARE more conservative than Trump. YOU were one of the first to discuss just how bad his signing the appropriations bills has been. You said that you would not vote for him again if he did that again.

And, I agree with you on that.

Frankly, it doesn't matter where most of the country is. Many of our laws are unconstitutional. Many of our government's actions are unconstitutional. If people want that, they can do it at the state, local, or personal level, but they can't do it with the federal government. I want to see politicians who know their limits, not their desires to do more.

I think Trump understands "representation", and he understands that he's not just the President of Vraiblonde, or This_Person, but all of us. He works for not only me, but my polar opposites on both sides of the spectrum. I frankly admit, I don't like it. I want government to do what I want, and all those extremist nutters can piss up a rope. But that's not the way it works. We the People all get representation in our government, no matter how stupid ass we are or what asinine thing we want.

The only thing I'm super hard and fast against and will not compromise on is direct Socialism. We've been slouching towards Gomorrah for two generations now, and that's far enough. In fact it's gone too far and needs to be scaled back a good bit.

I am firmly against illegal immigration and allowing "refugees" to destroy our cities and gobble up our resources.

I am firmly against hamstringing business and destroying private enterprise for some dumb social experiment.

There's a couple more, but you get the idea. People don't even freaking know what gender they are anymore, and that is from 50+- years of social engineering by the Left. That needs to be rolled back so we can have a sane society again. If people want to live under Socialism, there are a number of countries where they can have it. But we cannot allow our brilliant form of government to go that way.

So anyway /soapbox but I see Kasich as more of the same type of political chicanery that got us here in the first place. He's weak and can't stand up to criticism, so he buckles and compromises with our enemies. Just like Dubya did. And we can see how well that worked out.
