Mitt Romney, I Rebuke Thee

by Crashing Vor

Tonight, watching Mr. Romney's Illinois primary victory speech, my attitude toward the former governor changed abruptly.

I no longer find him funny or endearingly pathetic. I find him hateful.

I listened as he mocked a man because he chose to serve his community and teach constitutional law for twenty years instead of destroying people's livelihoods for private profit. I listened as he likened his predatory vulture capitalism with the innovative mind of Steve Jobs. I listened as he made the impossible pledge to reduce our children's debts by lowering taxes on everyone.

And I listened while he pledged to pull the safety net from my country's neediest. While nakedly calling for his class, the most fortunate, pampered people on the face of the earth, to give less and get more.

This man is no longer funny to me. He is loathsome. And I vow to do everything I can to make sure he never holds another position of political power in this country.

His vision of unbridled wealth triumphant is the epitome of the philosophy that has driven the American ideal of shared sacrifice and shared hope nearly to its death. It is a vision of cynical greed wrapped in glib, faux patriotism. "Freedom!" he and his like chant, adding, under their breaths, "For me."

1. Makes me more intent to make this election a blow out.

2. I always remember that he is among the elite of a less than mainstream religious group

and is about as entitled and arrogant in worldviews as any.

3. If he is really so bad, then why are people on our side

comparing this clown to a decent person of integrity like Senator Kerry?

5. I laughed at the title of this thread, but then I got mad

Romney really is loathsome, or at least he has been programmed to be. Luckily we're not the only ones who get a squicky feeling when we see and hear him try to pass as a human.
