Sounds like the perfect candidate. Lost to Obama by a decent margin.
Obama:
  • Not even eligible to be president (fraudelent birth certificate).
  • Former pothead, cokehead.
  • No meaningful experience.
Bush Jr:
  • Former alcoholic, cokehead, overall party animal.
  • Had no idea what he was doing (and mostly admitted it).
Bill Clinton:
  • Former and current cokehead, drug smuggler, party animal.
  • More time spent soliciting sexual favors from interns than doing presidential duties.
  • Had orgies with enslaved teenage women in Central America.
Oh yea, and we're about to give the presidency to the trecherous wife of one of the above guys.
I certainly hope you have some valid sources for the ridiculous accusations you are making against former presidents (e.g., "drug smuggler" and "current cokehead"). Otherwise, you really should not post any old vile accusation that pops into your head.

Btw, if you are going to use big words like fraudulent and treacherous, you should learn to spell them.

Perhaps you missed that in one of the posts I replied to.

I somehow missed this yesterday. Anyway, thanks for the laugh! Levity is so important. Although I didn't think Mitt supporters had a sense of humor...

None of this really matters unless one is interested in the tabloids. it's always about policy and Romneys policies were just as bad as Obamas. Romneycare became Obamacare. Both wanted our continued involvement in the Middle East even though it makes us less safe and there is nothing in the Constitution that allows it. Both are for their own bailouts. Neither was a proponent for states rights and less government. Both go back on their word often enough. The only difference was the hand picked winners and losers they wanted to help with tax payer money.

Romney is dishonest. He'd flip flop in the same day.

Not this nonsense again.

The GOP has offered scores of bills dealing with health care reform. They are all DOA because of Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Even if the GOP had not offered many, many health care reforms as you falsely claim, it is not the GOP's responsibility to fix a bill that only Democrats passed. You acknowledge that the ACA basically sucks, yet don't whine about the Democrats' failure to fix it. What changes have the Democrats proposed other than Obama's unilateral and unconstitutional changes by executive fiat.

It would be nice if liberal partisan hacks would start demanding accountability from everyone, not just Republicans.

You don't understand the problem. Yes it is true that 47% do not pay income taxes, and it is true that about 15% are dependent on the government, and will vote Obama no matter what. The problem was that he said those two groups were the same.

Thats what made Romney statement so bad. And he made it even worse by saying it is not his job to worry about those people, he is trying to become president of america, not a subset of America. What he obviously should have said, is that he will create jobs and be tougher against welfare dependency, so that fewer are dependent on the government.

And Romney was a terrible candidate, he only won because he was competing against a moron, an adulterer, an ideological libertarian and a sexual harasser.

What made it bad was the MSM constantly running Obama campaign ads by giving the comment undue weight.

No, if the comment was fine on its own, then the ads wouldn't have worked.

The problem was that even before this comment, Romney was considered a candidate for the rich. This comment verified voters suspicions.
