Not This Doofus Again
In case any of you forgot, we can’t stand Mitt Romney.
We blistered his pandering, plasticized Mormon ass on a regular basis when he tried to buy the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, and we look forward to doing it again if he tries to buy the Republican nomination in 2012.
Wait a minute … he’s breaking out the checkbook already, you say?
From The Politico:
Former Governor Mitt Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC today sent $1,000 checks to a group of House Republicans targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for their votes against the wasteful $800 billion stimulus bill.
Said Romney: “What Republicans wanted was a bill to strengthen the economy. What the Democrats passed was a bill to stimulate government. We are committed to helping these courageous Republicans defend their position and fend off political attacks.â€
Romney called the President’s stimulus package “a missed opportunity to make this country stronger.†Referring to the 12 House Republicans as the “Undaunted Dozen,†Romney praised them for “standing up for fiscal responsibility and saying no to spending abuse.â€
The “undaunted dozen?” Awwww … how sweet.
Look, we’re glad he wants to throw a little cash to folks who voted against a Bolshevist boondoggle, but how dumb do you have to be to view this as anything other than more Romney self-promotion?
Seriously, isn’t there a passage in the Bible somewhere about one of your hands not knowing what your other hand is doing when you give somebody money?
Or did that bit of wisdom not make it into the Book of Mormon?
Frankly, we’re sick and tired of Republicans telling us we were “wrong about Romney.”
We’re curious … what exactly were we wrong about?
Look, the fact that John McCain got his tired old ass handed to him after running the worst presidential campaign ever does not make Mitt Romney any less of a fraud now than he was a year ago.
Trust us, folks, the last thing that’s going to bring the GOP out of its wilderness is another two-faced politician.

Your dislike of Mitt Romney stems from the fact that he is a good guy. This guy probably never cheated at anything in his life. He probably never did anything wrong by his parents, wife, family, or his career.
You probably think that there is something wrong with him because of this. That ,somehow, this is “unnatural”. That this is not normal.
You don’t understand why he does this. Certainly, it’s not to please or impress you or anybody around him. He does this to be in good standing with God.
This is something you will probably never understand, but it is the nature of your uneasiness with him.
Mitt Romney is a polarizing figure. He has a way of separating the good from the bad. Since he is such a prime example of what a decent human being is, he brings out the hate in the bad(to put it very simply).
You couldn’t give any but trivial reasons for your dislike of him. You’d probably say he’s rich, he’s too handsome, he’s plastic. Yet, there’s no reason to dislike him there either.
His father grew up poor but worked his way up. Meaning, there is long lineague of wealth being handed over. And with all his wealth he could’ve easily been corrupted with booze and women, but he wasn’t.
Sure, as far as his looks go there is the genetic component. Although, good clean living also greatly affects one’s appearance. Not to mention the facts that it takes discipline and it is the smart thing to do. For example, taking the skin off the fried chicken so you won’t early of cardiac arrest.
He’s only plastic to those that think that a fat, porno slob is more “natural” and human.
The facts are that Mitt Romney is infinitely more qualified to run this country than Barak Obama. Where Obama has fancy, smooth talking words, Mitt Romney has successful, proven experience.

Lets see….don’t support someone who has been a success in business and public service (Romney), but support someone who has not been as successful in business or public service (Sanford)….is there a pattern here?
By kathy on February 24th, 2009 at 9:33 am
I don’t know where your hatred comes from, or why you feel it’s OK to attack another person on the basis of his religion, but what I know about Mitt Romney I like – he’s a good, decent American who cares about his country and has been successful at whatever endeavor he’s been involved in, whether in business, at the Olympics or running the state of Massachusetts.
I hope he does run again in 2012.
By Clapping Fetus on February 24th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Uh oh, Will.
Looks like you’re on the Mormons’ radar now. Perhaps you should start taking the skin off your fried chicken so you can become a good person.
By Romney's the man on February 24th, 2009 at 10:52 am
I am not a Mormon, I am a Southern Baptist. I don’t really care what religion a man is, I look at his character.
We lost this last election, the day McCain was the nominee. What a bonehead. Romney probably would have had the same fate, but he was a much better candidate when it came to the economy.
Will I support Romney again? Not sure, I’ll have to wait and see who pops up in 2012. But as long as we have idiots like Lindsey Graham and John McCain our party is doomed. They have very little principles.
By The Truth on February 24th, 2009 at 11:01 am
If the way Romney ran his nationwide campaign is any indication, why would anyone think he could run the country any better? Im not an Obama voter but you gotta give credit where credit due; he ran the best, nationwide campaign for office prob ever seen in this country. A black man with almost no national experience or recognition factor, and two years later he is president. Whatever my views of the guy, he obvioulsy knew how to put together a good team and game plan that worked. Romney didnt even come close and the fact he is Mormon does bother me..i mean magic underwear…you get a book from God and then lose it??. I tell ya, those Mormons are off the hook..come on what man wouldn’t belive in magic undies, a book from God that no one has seen and the right to marry as many woman as possible..i gotta get me some of that..
By fitsnews on February 24th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Actually, if you go back and look at our coverage, we never criticized Romney for being a Mormon.
Never.
In fact, we wrote a story that specifically defended him on his religion and took issue with those who would be dumb enough to cast their vote based on something like that …
http://www.fitsnews.com/2007/08/26/anonymous-swift-boaters-infesting-sc-presidential-waters/
“Mormon ass” is an expression. Like when we refer to Huckabee as a “Baptist ass,” or Henry McMaster as a “Dumb Ass.”
It does not make a value judgment on Mormonism one way or the other, but we left it in the article precisely because we knew it would make morons like several of these commenters flip out …
Oh, and we agree completely that LG and JM are idiots with “very little principles,” but again, like we said in the article that doesn’t mean Romney isn’t a fraud.
-FITS
By Romney's the man on February 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
If you are not anti-mormon or anti-baptist, why use the expression “mormon ass”? McMaster is the biggest “dumb ass”. He will never be Governor. Never. He will lose big. I can’t believe he won the AG’s office. I guess it helps that the other candidates were underfunded dumb asses.
Getting back to the issue at hand, describing someone by using their religion shows that your point is shallow. Since dumb is not a religion, using it to describe Henry McMaster is acceptable.
Why do we keep electing Lindsey Graham? He does not represent the Republican Party in South Carolina. I would like to “nationalize” his ass to Mexico.
By Mab on February 24th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I am over my President Romney infatuation; we are gonna need us somebody uglier and smarter by the time Obama is finished.
By Elmo on February 24th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Mitt Romney is a perfect example of a two-faced politician. He will say anything to get elected. He comes across as hollow and plastic. And yes religion matters in America- and the Mormon religion is too far out for any rational person to take seriously.
Maybe Mitt needs to send some of his money to the Iraq veterans coming home – maybe Mitt could go to Iraq for a couple of years and tell us how it is creating freedom and democracy in the Middle East..
By BOONEHEAD on February 24th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
All I can say about this man is that he is aN ASS KISSER!! Then the thing about sending out money to the other politician I do believe that would be a sense bribery. He really needs to stop doing dumb SHIT or things of that nature. Money can not buy you happiness. I hope he realizes that soon, did he not learn from the Blavo dude. I think you all should stop talking about the man’s religion, he has a choice to religion just like everyone else. The religion may not be a good one to us but to him it may be the best. But indeed I really hope it has nothing to do with his SHITTY ASS choices.
By CF on February 24th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I wish we had Romney as our president now. Yes, his religion is different, yes he may look “plastic”, yes he is rich.
But the bottom line is that he has PROVEN himself in fixing big problems in his life. He knows how to take something completely broken and turn it into a resounding success.
Why does his eating habits, religion and that he’s rich matter so much when millions of Americans are suffering right now? If he can get us out of the recession with sound/proven principles then I don’t care if he lives on the moon.

LOL. What in the world are you basing that statement on?? It’s so sweeping. He probably never did anything wrong ever? And what’s with all the “probably”s? Are you trying to cover your bases just like Mitt tries to cover his?

Mitt is a great man, and will make a great pres in 2012!
By James the Foot Soldier on February 24th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Let’s see – you were wrong about Mitt being:
Sucessful business man
Turned around a pathetic Olympic organization and ran a stellar Olympics
Ran for, won, and governed a BLUE state
Ran an honorable presidential campaign
Can speak two sentances coherently (unlike johnny mac who needs s teleprmopter to say anything OTHER than “my good friend)
Last time I checked handing out cash, appearances, letters, etc. to your political allies was what being in a political PARTY is all about. (As much as I like most of Governor Sanfords political philosophies his inability to understand the PARTHY aspect dooms his ideas to failure). When endorsements are needed during the next election cycle one then calls the marker in. It took 8 years for McCain to build up enough markers in South Carolina after the drubbing w put on his gurgler-ass.
Referencing the Book of Morman was an expression also? At least you admit your efforts to fan the anti-all-things-morman flame. Mitt will need to find a way to douse those – for the political whores I imagine some Romney cash would be all that it would take.
By Rebecca on February 24th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Would you shut up? there is nothing wrong with Mitt Romney! You guys might SAY this has nothing to do with religion, but thats a lie, first off.Don’t bring MY religion into this or i will bring other peoples religion into this too. believe me. And your calling him “plastic” based off of what? oh right, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BASE THAT OFF OF! So what if Mitt is sucessful? is that a problem that he makes a lot of money? it shouldn’t be….And Mitt Romney could’ve done more for this country than Obama can and ever will. And this wasn’t a Romney promotion, do i see mitt’s face pictured all over, cuz i saw obama and his family’s paraphenilia EVERYWHERE the day he won the election. (tee shirts, hats, earrings, sneakers, scarves, buttons, pants, etc.) Oh, and tell me if im wrong, but hasn’t Michelle Obama and the first daughter been pictured more than once on the cover of People Magazine? Might I add, Obama has has little experience in politics. he was in the Senate for like 3 years and then he decided to become President?! Since when is that right America? So i would appreciate it if you would stop bashing Mitt Romney based on nothing.

Hey, FITS, let us how how Al Sharpton reacts when your write of President Obama: “We blistered his pandering, plasticized Black ass.” You’d must have your head up yours to not recognize that your language was a thinly veiled attack on Romney’s religion, which describes his ethnicity about as clearly as “Jewish” does Senator Joseph Lieberman’s.
By Nick on February 25th, 2009 at 8:35 am
This doofus hates Mitt the same reason most layabout welfare addicted moonbats do; he supports our constitution, not Vladmir Lenin’s.
Idiots like this guy is what will lead to the 2010 Republican majority and the Romney presidency in 2012. We needed the Carter years to make the Reagan years possible, the Obama years – a disaster already, just 2 months in – will make the Romney years possible, so we should thank this ignorant ilk for that.

Try using the term, black ass, jew ass, gay ass etc…
What a two faced hypocrite. You know that even as a blogger in his
Mothers basement, your lonely career would be over.
Your gealousy is so obvious.
Mitt Romney is the most intelligent, accomplished man to run for President
in a hundred years. Just check his resume, dumbass,
I’ll stack up 5% of his accomplishments against your loser lifestyle, anyday.
We have people now in charge who have never met a payroll or run a corner store, writing laws and writing bad checks and signing our kids and grandkids names to them. Writing checks without the funds to cover them. Talk about kyting.
This Country is too dumbed down at this point to see through the cult of personality (Obama), and hire a truely qualified man, like Mitt Romney.
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, the very men who created this mess, are the ones now in charge to fix it?
As for Mitt’s flip flops? He flipped, never flopped back, on maybe 2 or 3 issues. Where I come from that is evolutionary growth, Nothing wrong with that.
Obama has at least 40 changed positions to date and McCain and Hucabee had 5 fold the change in positions as did Mitt.
Facts are a stubborn things, and lying SOB’s like you, illustrates this completely.
Who was Valedictorian in College?
Magna Cum Laude with a dual degreee in Law and an MBA?
Started and ran a business, creating tens of thousands of jobs in the private sector?
Dug a liberal state out of debt by turning a 5 billion dollar deficit into and multi billion dollar surplus?
Ran the most succcesful Olympics ever, turning a 600 million dollar deficit into a 100 million dollar profit?
etc. etc. etc.?
It sure as Hell wasn’t you, PUNK!
Truth will out

By aj arizona on February 25th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Oh and one more little known fact, because Mitt does not let the right hand know what the left is doing! Mitt’s contributed over 100 million dollars to charitable organizations over the years and worked for a dollar a year for 7 years as CEO of the Salt Lake Olynpics and as Governor of Mass.
Why don’t you tell us now who you are and list your lifetime charitable donations.
Yea did not think so.
By V Thomas on February 25th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

By V Doman on February 25th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
There is a news service that collects and distributes all in the media that mentions the “Mormon” Church in any way. That is how I saw this commentary. I cannot believe that you would be so abusive if you knew anything about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or had read the Book of Mormon. I suppose you hate the Osmonds as well, but if you are honest enough to find out about what you are bashing, check out http://dev.donny.com/beliefs/multimedia/ and listen to some of Donny’s narrations explaining the basic beliefs of the Church. It may surprise you.

Putting Mitt Romney’s resume next to Barack Obama’s is like putting a human being next to a chimp.

He knows nothing about the economy and every time he opens his mouth, the stock market plummets.

Mitt Romney is a decent and honorable man and a brilliant businessman. He’s just what we need right now. We certainly don’t need any more anti-Mormon rhetoric or exaggerated flip-flop hype about a guy who was man enough to admit he was wrong about something.
Romney in 2012!

By Brian on February 26th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Just out of curiosity, what exactly is it about Romney’s resume that is so impressive? He certainly made a lot of money, but his business experience isn’t that great: he used his trust fund and the money of his investors to buy little businesses, fire their workers, and sell the businesses for a profit, and then did the same thing over and over again as he gradually accumulated a great personal profit. I’ve got nothing against him for making money that way, but I don’t see that experience as particularly relevant to the White House. Nor, for that matter, was his one term in office as Massachusetts governor a great place for him to shine, since he left Massachusetts in a much worse fiscal situation than it was in when he was elected. Romney also had no problem blowing state money on special interest groups if it bought him votes then, so I don’t see him as the guy to clean up the federal budget.
By the way, is Romney going to get a job before 2012? If he stays where he is he will have been unemployed for six years (and no, running a PAC is not a job: Sarah Palin has her own PAC and still is a governor). I don’t know if electing a guy who has been unemployed for six years is going to fly.
As a disclosure, I’m a Republican Mormon. I don’t like the Mormon bashing that Romney’s candidacy brings out, but I’m not going to vote for an unqualified candidate just because we share the same religion.
By Brad R on February 26th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I actually appreciate that you loathe Mitt Romney. It’s a compliment, really.
By Brad R on February 26th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Brian,
You obviously don’t understand they way a business works or profits are made. Romney’s money didn’t just appear out of nowhere. He worked hard for that. Not impressive? You go out and make hundreds of millions of dollars and come back that you didn’t work hard for it. If it wasn’t impressive wouldn’t everyone be making that kind of money? Right… And if you thinking that because his parents left him money diminishes his accomplishments then you’re making excuses and digging real deep for some reason not to like him.
His business of cleaning up companies and selling them is a healthy thing. He could either do nothing with them and let them die of naturally, or prune them to get rid of excess so that it may later flourish. It’s the same principle used in gardening. What’s wrong with that? And then you say that you don’t have a problem with it – well then why would you use it as a talking point against him? You don’t make sense. His experience is incredibly significant in the White House, especially in our current economic situation. We’ve got a government that is in trouble with huge monetary losses – how does turning a business from being unprofitable to profitable not help with turning our current deficit government into a surplus government? Again, you’re not making sense.
Leaving a worsened Massachusetts? Right, turning a huge deficit into a huge surplus is a lot worse. Third time that you haven’t made sense.
Fourth? Mitt not having a job for the past few years. Do you think it’s because he can’t get one or needs one? Question: Why do you have a job? (I’m assuming you have one) To provide for your family, right? Since he can already provide for his, he can focus on things he cares about more than making money, like advancing conservative ideals. Don’t tell me that if you had the time and resources that you wouldn’t contribute more of your resources on what you really care about. Again, you don’t make sense.
So now that your reasons for not liking him have been debunked, you can pull your head out of the sand and stop disliking the guy simply because it would be too typical for a “Republican Mormon” to like him.
By Brian on February 26th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Brad R.-
I appreciate you “debunking” my reasons for not liking him, but I’m still not entirely convinced.
First, I actually do understand how businesses make profits. It’s not particularly complex: buy low, sell high. It’s what we do in my line of work, and we do pretty well at it. Again, I have nothing against Mitt Romney for his line of work, but I don’t see how his experience at Bain is relevant to the White House because he won’t be buying up new entities and selling them to foreign nations. While it’s true that his ability to streamline, if actually valid, would be a great asset, I’m not sure that the businesses he acquired and sold actually had better long-term profitability as a result of his involvement.
Second, his family money is relevant only in that it gave him the necessary capital to start acquiring and selling businesses. He certainly multiplied that money a great deal, but the amount of capital that currently doesn’t exist in the federal budget is probably going to be a bit of a rude awakening to someone who is used to starting with a loaded ledger. You do, I trust, understand the value of starting with capital.
Third, I think that my claim did make quite a bit of sense about his history as governor of Massachusetts. Unemployment rose sharply during his tenure as governor, as did our budget deficit, as did our actual tax rates (Romney called them “fee increases,” but they took my money as effectively as any other tax raise I’ve been under).
Fourth: no, I don’t think that Romney can get a job, at least not one that he wants. I say this because he spent the last four years campaigning for the job he wanted, and then for VP, and then for a position in the McCain cabinet. He was 0-3 on all of those counts. I’m sure that Romney could get a great job in industry somewhere, and, with his rhetoric, frankly it makes more sense for him to give up on the idea of being in government and go back to the private sector. However, it seems like he wants to focus on elected govt. (despite his constant bashing of the size of government), and only having one rocky and brief term as governor where his policies changed dramatically (pro-gay rights to anti-gay marriage, pro-choice to pro-life, pro-amnesty to anti-illegal immigration) is not a great backdrop for a presidential run. For his own sake, Romney needs a job someplace where he can show exactly what kind of a president he would be. He was a great asset to Bain and to the Salt Lake Olympics, but neither of those positions really gave him a great platform to show what he would do as president.
And, last time I checked my head’s not in the sand, but thanks for your concern. I don’t care whether or not it’s typical for a Republican Mormon to like Romney; I only added the point about my religion so that I wouldn’t be accused of anti-Mormonism just because I would prefer someone like Ron Paul to Mitt Romney.
By Rebecca on February 26th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Brian:
I’m glad that you aren’t voting for Mitt Romney just because he shares OUR same religion. Im Independent. If I were 18 and I could vote, i would vote for Romney based on his ideas for the Country’s current situation.(In case ya’ll are wondering, im 15.) I don’t think Obama’s idea of “taking money from the rich people” will help us right now. Your comment and bashing on Mitt Romney didn’t make sense and by the way, all of your facts aren’t correct.
By Brian on February 26th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Rebecca:
Thanks for your insight. I’m sorry that my comments didn’t make sense; would you let me know which of my facts are wrong so I can correct them?
By Brian on February 26th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
And also, for clarification, I am definitely not a Democrat. To me Ron Paul is the only true conservative I’ve seen in the mix, although Bobby Jindal looks like he has some potential.
By Brad R on February 28th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Brain,
Thanks for your response.
I actually really like Ron Paul, and if he didn’t come off as such a nutcase, I may actually vote for him. He’s got good ideas, some of them quite improbable, but I like his way of thinking.
My biggest problem (which is actually quite small) with Mitt is that he panders. I trust him when he says that he believes in certain ideals and more importantly I trust he’ll keep his word which is more than I can say for 99% of politicians out there. But he does lay it on quite thick sometimes, probably because most people need that kind of show in order to get past stubborn preconceptions.
As for your comments about Mitt, I can address a few further. I don’t think that anyone would disagree that what we need now is someone who can pare down our expenses and raise revenue enough to get us back in the black. Regardless of the fact of whether this is done in an internal entity (one you are actually a part of) or an external entity (one that you have bought and plan on selling), it is a valuable skill. Mitt has done this nearly his entire career. That he bought and then sold the companies he improved is really irrelevant. He will essentially perform the same necessary actions to return an entity to profitability internally in the government as he would have in a company he was preparing to sell. As for the long-term profitability of the companies he helped, take a look at Bain & Co, Staples, Domino’s, Sealey, etc. If you look at the before and after of the market caps, profitability, stock prices (especially stock price because it is a market speculation of the company’s prospects), etc, then you will clearly see that these companies have been better off than they were before he touched them. I think you may be one of the only people that doubts Romney’s ability to turn companies around. You don’t make money at doing something if you’re not good at it.
As far as starting out with capital to make more, of course you have a valid point; my point is that it doesn’t diminish his successes. He made something better out of what he had which is more than can be said for others who have inherited wealth. And as far as the government not having capital, the treasure is the ultimate source of capital. Where are we getting the trillions of dollars we are spending now? Borrowing and printing. The companies that Mitt improved weren’t loaded with capital when he took the helm – if they were, they wouldn’t have needed him. His genius is creating capital where others cannot. Applied to the federal government, the way our politicians are creating capital now is by printing it and we’re now seeing the first effects of that – our most recent inflation numbers are alarming. While that would certainly be needed in any administration, Romney’s ability to streamline (been proven time and time again) would minimize that need.
Next: You can’t blame all of Massachusetts’ problem on Romney. There is no question that he took a deficit and turned it into a surplus. He also did so without raising taxes, although you seem to think that fees are the same. Not true. Fees are associated with a particular use and are only levied on the user; taxes are broad based and are levied on everyone. To most fiscal conservatives, this system makes much more sense than not.
Next: Romney’s job. To correct one of your statements, Romney NEVER wanted a McCain cabinet position. He stated that very clearly as he seen what others go through in those positions. He wanted the Presidency and it’s clear he would have loved to have been VP, but he never wanted a cabinet position. So if he doesn’t have a 9-to-5 job, it is most certainly by choice.
It seems you’re most intent on finding reasons to dislike him instead of finding reasons to like him. I can’t think of anyone in this past race who had a more stellar economic record and a cleaner history. I may sound rather adulatory but it’s only because I can’t find much not to like.
