(1,486 posts)to think that he wanted to be President of the United States of America and cheat on his taxes, hide money in foreign banks and then try to cover it up is really really dumb

(116,464 posts)He's an arrogant, condescending asshole, who after years of running for President, finally got the nomination. He thought he was a shoe in, but learned that his money couldn't gloss over his flaws and wasn't enough to buy him the Presidency.
My guess is he'll be even more bitter than McCain.

I think they both went home and wept in each other's arms until they drifted to sleep.
He looked like he just came from balling his eyes out during his brief "impromptu" concession speech.
It was impromptu because the palooka really and truly THOUGHT he was gonna win.
Well, the American People had something to say about that.
LOL!!!

(21,478 posts)Unlike his son. George Romney, before he became governor, was a key figure in the 1961-62 constitutional convention in Michigan. He made sure that civil rights was central to that rewrite, and fought those who said otherwise.
George and Lenore Romney were great people. They would have no role in today's GOP.

(116,464 posts)Government works, Mitt.
Government is not a source of shame.
I mean, support from the government isn't embarrassing, nothing like hiding for 90 minutes after getting your ass kicked in the election.

(18,637 posts)...prevents Mitt from recalling and heeding those prophetic words.
Seriously, why did Romney ever run if he knew he couldn't abide by the minimal standards of disclosure.
