I’m rooting for Romney for two reasons: 1) the entertainment value and 2) his policies could undermine the US government to such a degree that we on the left might get that revolution we’ve been looking for. But reason number 1 is good enough alone. The guy is a freak. Like Cosmo Kramer once said, “Who doesn’t wanna watch freaks?”

Cute but the entire article could be written about Obama. At war with is supporters? (stabbed ‘em in the back), Dirty Tricks? Doesn’t get much nastier or criminal than Axelrod, Chicago and every one of Obama’s elections to office. How about the Iranian green revolution where Obama sentenced hundreds of thousands of Iranian youth to death or the gulag by not saying boo when the kids stood up to the Ayatollahs?
The author is a shill/hack for Obama, the regal president entitled Barack Marie Antoinette Milhous Obummer.

@SayHey: Really? I think Bush (the elder) knew the world pretty well. Of course, Nixon had Kissinger.

I wish that you were objective enough to have someone write (and post!) a similarly biased and inflammatory opinion piece about our current president. It wouldn’t be hard to do.

Mitt Romney is no Dick Nixon – and where it counts, neither is Barack Obama nor most recent Presidents. At the end of this article comes the most important part – Nixon cared above all (properly) about foreign policy. Dick Nixon understood the world- and how it works. No President since him comes close to this critical characteristic.

I found illuminating Mr. Romney’s taped comments about women living behind a barbed wire enclosure at a Bain owned factory … that he expressed pride that the US was exporting opportunity to China and other nations.

“Willard Milhous Romney”

… damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer.

Love the formaldehyde imagery!

You ask what Romney really cares about? The only thing we can be sure he cares about is Mitt. But all his backpedalling, doubling-down, flip-flopping and Etch-a-Sketching seems to imply that that’s the ONLY thing he cares about.

Nixon was actively involved with the Mafia starting in the 1940s, affiliated through Bebe Rebozo, Marcello, and Trafficante to mob money which funded his elections, and the author of involving the mob with the CIA in attempts on Castro’s life. So thanks for making the connection to Robme, as a fair warning to what awaits US if this craven, evil, hypocritical Nixon clone is elected. Knowing his family received welfare payments when immigrating back from Mexico, after staging an insurrection against US government to stand up for polygamy in Utah just shows how Robme hates his own history and projects the things he hates about himself onto others. A truly disturbed individual, like Nixon.

A pragmatist is not devoid of core beliefs, they merely form opinions based on practicalities. This piece seems to a certain extent to cloak Romney’s unconscionable remarks in some legitimacy. It goes far beyond “over flattering donors”, and I believe it does show a sincere Romney speaking to his ‘peeps’. It is demeaning, disrespectful, crude, and all lies. Richard Nixon was certainly not without core beliefs, though he was indeed a pragmatist, and more.
A final thought. I truly disliked Nixon and marched and petitioned for his impeachment, but Mitt Romney could not hold a candle to Nixon’s foreign policy or political gravitas.
