Comment from Freeper forum

[Liberal_in_LA]

Mitt has 19 years of running for political office.

Mitt has won a single election in his life and didn’t reach 50% of the vote, and left the single term with 34% approval.

Mitt is not a great candidate by any measure, and he was even worse as an actual office holder.

Nineteen years of campaigning, spending records broken in every campaign, 55 to 60 million of his own spent, and still no one has any idea why he wants to be president, or what his personal politics are, or what his interest in politics is.

[toddwv]

1. I'm going to use that.

Great information from a "freeper".

[freshwest]

2. His interest in politics is clearly to add the resources of the USA to his assets. He's not American

In any sense of the word anyone would commonly think of being an American. He's a globalist with no loyalty to this country, no more than his GOP pals, and would have everything in this country, people included, as tools for a larger game.

He is simply running for the job of CEO of what they see as a fully owned and sold out USA. His foreign holdings, his donations from foreign banks and individuals, is who he plans to send all the profits that can be squeezed through sweat and blood to him. He is the most anti-American candidate of my lifetime, wants to subjugate us.

He has no intention of working as a POTUS, but will merely do what Nordquist said they want in office, just 'a man with enough digits on his hand' to sign on the dotted line for what they say.

And what they say is the Paul Ryan budget, a plan for the extermination of the American government. And the Constitution? It's just a piece of paper!

Vote for treason, elect Mitt Romney!

[Chiyo-chichi]

9. Nicely put.

[byeya]

10. His loyalty is to lucre, moolah, long green - wherever he can get his lunch hooks

on to it and salt it away for his selfish purposes.
He's a corporatist who is also a coprophage.

[siligut]

24. This is it

"He's a globalist with no loyalty to this country, no more than his GOP pals, and would have everything in this country, people included, as tools for a larger game." Kings of the world.

[docgee]

25. well said... can I plagiarize it? lol. nt

[freshwest]

28. Every thought is free. Take it all, anything I write here for progressives.

[Raster]

33. Well put! It is quite telling that the very same con men and ne'er-do-wells that populated the....

....cheney*/bush* pResidency are just waiting in the wings for Rmoney/Whomever to ascend to the Presidency. And you are so right: Lord Mittens has no real intention of working as a POTUS. He will just be a stand-and-model version thereof. All the style and substance of an oversized geriatric KEN doll, leaving the actual governing to the same miscreants that brought us eight long years of cheney*/bush* hell.

[DeSwiss]

44. Exactly. n/t

[tavalon]

47. Looks like his running mate will be Ryan

Manna from heaven, I tell ya!

[Grins]

59. Yup! He's the front man..

He's there to keep Rmoney on the straight and conservative because "the base" doesn't trust Romney at all. Pick is the red meat for the Reich-wingers.

[airplaneman]

66. K&R - I'm voting for freshwest - please run for office! Excellently written thanks!

[nichomachus]

3. Couldn't have said it better myself

If there was one person in the GOP primary race who wasn't a rank amateur or crazier than a shithouse rat, Mitt wouldn't be the "presumptive" nominee today.

[tex-wyo-dem]

43. gawd, ain't that the truth...

Watching the GOP primary was like watching some sort of surrealistic dark comedy where all the candidates were all bazaar and crazy in their own special ways. Says something when you can say mittens was probably the most "normal" out of all the front-runners. Of course the moderate reasonable ones like Huntsman couldn't even buy a percentage point.

[Dustlawyer]

60. That is because the Corporate media wanted him to fail. The powers that be mis-calculated

and took the rank and file Republicans too far to fast! In the quest to grab more ratings by being ever more outlandish, they lost control of the message. A more gradual movement to the right would keep everyone asleep until it was too late. As it is, they are forced to attack Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid now! They had their plants in SCOTUS go out of their way (damned activist Judges) to give them Citizens United to open the flood gates of money to try to force through their agenda and try to keep the wheels from coming off. Rush, Hannity and their ilk are merely tools (boy are they) to shape the opinions of low information voters. They are drastically cutting education to increase the percentage of the low info voters. They offshore our jobs to lower wages here and bust the Unions so that when they bring them back, we are desperate enough to work for subsistence money with NO safety net and no safety. Tort reform was a ruse to kill Plaintiff firms so there will be no redress and no penalty. When Stella Liebeck sued McDonalds for the Hot Coffee, the media made it seem like our Court system had run amuck. The reality was that she almost died and had to have her clitorus and labia removed. The jury awarded around 2 million in light of the damages to her and the fact that they learned that McDonalds had superheated their coffee world wide to make fresh longer and get more coffee per bean. Our media lied about it (check this out if you do not believe the FACTS)! After BP blew up their plant in Texas City in 2005, they had the Texas legislature and Court system make it impossible to sue an oil company in Texas if they blew up their plant in the future. This has been a 30 year plan with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at it's center. They are not true Americans, only greedy, power mad, entitled assholes! We need our own plan to fight to take the power back! They are prepared to get physical (Cops on OWS) to keep their hard earned power, we must be even more committed. Sounds like a crazy rant I know, but check it out if you do not believe. This has been planned for a long time!

[bluestateguy]

4. Did he outspend Ted Kennedy in 1994?

I don't know. Maybe someone can fill in. The Kennedys have plenty of money too, of course.

[Wait Wut]

5. "The Kennedys have plenty of money too, of course."

Yes, they do. And that's where the similarities end.

To answer your question, I don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say no. Teddy was more popular among Dems/Indies than Romney is with the GOP/TP/Indies. Romney is doing everything possible to actually buy the Oval Office. Teddy, though terribly misguided, had his heart in the right place and honestly thought he was doing the right thing. It was one of the few enormous mistakes he made in his life. Romney doesn't give a damn if he's right for the job, he just wants it. He's not running to lead America, he's running to sell her to the highest bidder, pad his resume and make his buddies rich(er).

[tanyev]

6. And he was still the best choice they had this year.

[rurallib]

7. you know we must steal this and spread it around

too good not to share.

[DFW]

8. Factual posts by freepers?

They are seen only slightly more often than Leprechauns.

[freshwest]

11. There may be hope for them yet, DFW.

Nah, just kidding!!

[DFW]

16. Don't scare me like that! n/t

[Ikonoklast]

39. Not every Freeper is what he appears to be,

Unless they appear to be Fifth Columnists, that is.

The you just might be correct.

[tavalon]

48. True dat

We have plenty of them here with us, why wouldn't a number of us be over there with them. I have a life, so I'm not, but I'm sure some of you guys are.

[tex-wyo-dem]

45. Ha! DUZY!!

[amuse bouche]

12. That

about sums it up

[Smilo]

13. The rats are realizing what they have and are trying to jump ship n/t

[JHB]

19. To be more fair than they deserve, they were never on his ship

Until relatively recently, Rimjob "zotted" (banned) anyone with insufficiently anti-Romney views.

Gotta love it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. you have good search capabilities. lol

[TrollBuster9090]

17. Heheheh! All true, but did this FreePer say who he thought was a BETTER candidate?

That's the bottom line.
Romney is a PATHETIC candidate, but he was the best candidate that the current party of crackpots, nutcases, and spoiled brats could come up with.

Who would that Freeper have preferred? Newt "Moonbeam" Gingrich? Governor OOPS? Bat-shit-crazy Bachmann?

This is too funny.

The only thing that could make it better is if they have a horrible, bloody, chaotic fight on the Convention floor as they try to replace Mitt at the last minute in desperation. Hopefully with Ron Paul, and when the attempted delegate coup fails, all the Paulbots stomp off in disgust to vote for Gary Johnson.

[djean111]

18. But - they will still vote for him.

And therein lies the rub.
Mitt doesn't care if every vote is given grudgingly.
In fact, I would bet he doesn't see the need for actual voting.

[Vinca]

20. Are you sure that came from a freeper forum? It makes way too much sense.

21. Way too rational for freeperland. Must be a du mole.

[magical thyme]

56. not to mention articulate and can spell.

my first thoughts.

[DLine]

22. My theory about Mitt Romney

Born into a rich family, the man has never had to worry about money a day in his life. So money and acquiring the things one does over a lifetime has never been a goal of his. What Mitt wants is power and prestige. He wants the most powerful job in the world just for the sake of having it. He wants to do something his daddy couldn't.

[Raster]

29. Why do rethuglican pretenders to the throne all have "daddy issues"?

Lord Mittens and the Lady Ann want to be able to wave to the serfs and other common folk from the highest balcony of The White Palace.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Right. W wanted to one-up his pappy by getting Saddam and a second term. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

42. Sounds pretty solid to me

Therefore, when you're in denial about why you're such a dunce, you'll do anything to disprove it.

[appleannie1]

26. His interest in politics is to get his greedy paws on the US Treasury.

[rockingirl]

27. but they did have ONE halfway reasonable candidate

and of all the presidential wannabes he actually had some sense and even some integrity and he was always an also ran or long shot at best and there was never any way that he would withstand the barrage of shit so they canned him early with no donations and no support. Granted he was a repug like the rest of course but he was the only one of them that was even close to being even half way reasonable.

They choose this path because willard mittens is their perfect convenient idiot once again, just like W was.

[B Calm]

30. Who chose Mitt to be the GOP candidate?

[HeiressofBickworth]

32. It is my opinion

Romney and his superiors in the mormon church decided that Romney was the fulfillment of the White Horse prophesy. I saw an interview the other day with Gingrich. He was asked why Romney was running for President. Gingrich said it was because Romney believes the country is in trouble and he wants to help. That is the basis of the prophesy -- that the country would be in trouble and a mormon would "save" it, causing the country to become mormon and run by the church. Yes, Romney is a rich guy and this could be his biggest purchase - power and position. But as for his FEELINGS, I think he is driven by his belief in his church.

[LiberalAndProud]

35. You may be right. Frightening if true.

I can think of nothing quite so destructive as the End of Days mindset, especially in the hands of power. If the end is preordained, we can guiltlessly abdicate our responsibility to create a sustainable future. I can't think of a more damaging self-fulfilling prophecy.

[47of74]

34. Why'd you make your computer go to RimJob land?

Don't you like your computer?

[tavalon]

50. I was thinking the exact same thing!

[BeyondGeography]

36. But Biff Squarejaw LOOKS like a President

Nimrods.

[mac56]

61. Biff Squarejaw! Perfect!

Stealing that.

[BeyondGeography]

63. Feel free

A college buddy came up with that one over beers about 30 years ago re. a preppy we couldn't stand. It deserves immortality.

[Monk06]

37. Mitt thinks of America as a publicly traded company. He wants to be the CEO

so that he can strip the country of it's assets, sell them to China then chapter seven the national debt.

It's the Bain way doncha know.

[Coyotl]

64. Break up the country and steal the minerals for yourselves, that's the plan of this cabal

of Cheney's

[Canuckistanian]

38. Truer words have never been spoken

Bravo, unknown Freeper!

[Jamaal510]

40. I'm shocked that post didn't get hidden over there.

They must hate R0bme's guts at FreeRepublic, too.

[Curmudgeoness]

41. Not all the Freepers feel this way.

I am surrounded by them, and they are circling the wagons around Mittens. They may not like him, but they are working hard to find reasons to vote for him.

And I have an idea why he wants to be president....Power. He has more money than he knows what to do with, but he wants to add another notch, along with a place in history. In 100 years, his name will not be known. Well, unless he has this.

[tavalon]

46. Any chance for an attribution on that comment?

Screen name is fine, just something.

49. but now that Ryan is the pick, Freepers now feel a little more optimistic.

[LynneSin]

51. I know why Mitt wants to be president

Because his daddy never got that job.

[Blackhatjack]

52. The Big Targets Romney & His Backers Will Focus On is ...

Extinguish corporate taxes and drive down taxes exponentially for the richest 1%, and push to eliminate all entitlement programs and simultaneously privatize social security benefits for Wall Street.

That about sums it up.

Of course a side issue will be to allow tax amnesty for all US citizens and businesses that have $$ held in oversea bank accounts to be brought home to the US.

[upi402]

57. But the propaganda will be about "help the job creators"

Praise the hard working corporations trying to scrape by on mere million$
ugh
I can't wait for the TV news to repeat their BS back to us ad infinitum.

53. Preach!

Maybe an LDS dream to turn the US into a Utah clone? God forbid!! Oh, wait...too many gods.

[tblue37]

58. He just wants to wear the biggest "Prom King" crown

of all, and he is quite sure that he is entitled to it.

It's just a big ol' ego trip.

[Ian_rd]

62. +1 It's just seems like a personal goal for him to be elected president, then the day after ...

... he'll let his handlers run the country. And his handlers are true believers in turning the USA into a third world country where 99% of the wealth in the hands of 1%, hiding behind their barbed wire topped walls, and the only purpose of the national government is to make sure that it stays that way.
