There's Something so Weirdly Desperate About Romney

[cali]

This is a man who's wanted to be President for several decades. He meticulously set up the necessary props for a presidential run. (Does anyone really think that being a Senator or Governor from MA was anything but a rung on the ladder to the Presidency?)

And we have no idea why. He has no firm beliefs. Hell, he apparently has no beliefs beyond his religion and his family and coporatism, period. So we are left to surmise that this is all about his conviction that he should wield great power.

If he loses, I think he'll be crushed. decimated. This has been his everything for almost 20 years and it's not like he'll ever be able to run again.

1. The pathetic thing is that few of his "supporters" are voting FOR him. Rather...

they are voting out of hatred for Barack Obama specifically and Democrats/Liberal Progressives in general.

2. It's a standard for someone who has no idea what the job actually encompasses.

Whether he wants to own up to it or not, being President requires a smart individual to look beyond the needs of your handlers. We saw the horrific result of a person not capable of doing such a thing stumble his way into the position . . . with the help of his daddy's buddies. Dubya Mitt would be even worse than Bewsh 43 and America cannot afford that guy at the helm again.

3. Romney is destined to fulfill the White Horse Prophecy, many Mormons believe

Every American absolutely has to bear the White Horse thingie in mind as this election unwinds.
Like it or not, it is a tangible passionate factor for a vast, well-funded and tightly hierarchical organization of determined human beings.

I'm just sayin...Here's a link to an article in Salon http://www.salon.com/2012/01/29/mitt_and_the_white_horse_prophecy/

4. I don't buy that that's what's driving him

[Berlum]

5. Well, who can ultimately say? Perhaps it's not Romney's driver, but...

...it is definitely a HUGH part of his context.

8. we need to spread this around the teabagger sites

let em know Rmoney's religious group plans to take over.

9. Anyone who is paying attention should see this plainly.

But then again, so far the "you people" -- the RepubliProles & the Baggers -- have not exactly been noted for seeing through the vast pus-engorged gobs of propaganda employed to sucker them. Maybe they will wake up to see how they have been used. That would be nice. But no signs of real hope yet.

11. His delusions are indeed grand

And I saw heaven opened , and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Revelation 19:11

I have two words for Mitt. And they are followed by "... and the horse you rode in on"

6. unresolved Daddy issues?

Just sayin'

[woodsprite]

7. Just like someone else we all despised.

Well, he's not living up to Daddy's expectations in the income tax department then.

10. that's my understanding of his motivation -- George lost to Nixon

(but then became part of Nixon's cabinet). So George forced his wife and son into politics.

Same stuff for the Koch's -- still fighting their father's war on "communism."
