I almost feel sorry for Mitt.

[Raven]

The man who Will Pitt says is named after a kitchen utensil has done one, just one, very good thing in his life and that was getting health care reform enacted in Massachusetts. And 6 years later it is hailed by almost everyone as a great success. He did this good thing and he can't take any credit for it...he is forced by his demented Party to run from it. He has shamelessly attempted to take credit for good things he had nothing to do with (auto bailout) but he can't take a bow for the one good thing he did do. Karma.

[Rambis]

1. He makes my skin crawl

He is the biggest liar ever to run for public office and he needs to go away!

[Raven]

3. I agree but don't you think it's ironic

that he can't take credit for the one decent thing he did in his life?

[SoFlaJet]

6. No Raven

because he's gutless. If he HAD any balls he would stand up for the best thing he's ever done in his political life. Instead, he pretends that it never happened-Eff him-end of story.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Not me.

He's devoid of humanity and filled with hubris. He doesn't care about any of us.

[SoFlaJet]

4. I have no sympathy whatsoever for

that lying bastard. The guy's supposed to be like the Mormon equivalent of a minister and he's running his campaign on lies and evil surrogates who will say and do anything to get him elected. Whether that means disenfranchising tens of thousands of his fellow Americans so be it. The man has no vision, questionable morals,and an ideology that is up for sale to the highest bidder. Nope, him and his party DESRVE to lose and lose BIG!

16. Well put

I couldn't have said it better myself.

5. What I find most sad

Is that Mitt, if he switched parties and ran as a New Dem, would probably be very successful.

Especially if he then spent as much effort dragging his church into our Democracy, as he has spent dragging our Democracy into his church.

[flakey_foont]

7. But isn't that his own choice?

He could very well stand up and say, yes, I did have a health care plan in Massachusetts, etc, but lacks the cajones.
Everytime I see him on TV, it just screams out dishonesty, lack of character, -
I don't see it as he can't take credit, but he WON'T because some FAUX SNOOZE listener might get upset and threaten
to do violence because they want him to "pay for someone else's healthcare" (which, from speaking with such critters, seems to be the
big argument against ACA.).

[demwing]

9. And isn't that the real problem we have right now?

our political leaders don't lead, they follow...

They follow the money
they follow the polls
they follow the screaming, malcontented lemmings as they fling themselves straight over the cliff

I'm no fan of John McCain, but if more politicians did what he attempted in 2008, when he tried to correct the woman who thought Obama was a Muslim, then we'd have a better informed electorate, and a less craven group of candidates.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Yesterday's ruling could have been hailed as a bipartisan success for President Obama/Mitt Romney

and, just for good measure, both political parties (since PPACA's "genesis" came from the GOP in the 1990's though it is uncertain exactly how serious they were about it). Now that the GOP has VERY publicly disavowed it and called for its repeal (and no replacement)- mostly out of spite for Obama IMHO- and Romney has disavowed his own plan for Massachusetts (c'mon Mitt, how can something you publicly endorsed and help craft for Massachusetts really be that bad for the rest of the country really?), only President Obama, the Democrats whom voted for PPACA in 2010, and those persons whom mobilized in support of health care reform for the citizens of this country (including those whom advocated even more far-reaching reform) will get their names in future history books alongside FDR and LBJ and other unsung heroes whom fought for the principle of universal health coverage as a right not a privilege and future generations of Americans will marvel at the fact that the United States of America was, two years earlier in 2010, the only industrialized country to have no kind of national plan whatsoever for helping ensure universal health care coverage for all of its citizens and that one of the two major political parties and their rabid "base" actually opposed efforts to begin to achieve this goal and continued to try to repeal it without offering anything as a viable competing plan.

[HopeHoops]

10. I don't. Not a bit.

[SoutherDem]

11. Mitt has made his bed now he is having to sleep in it.

To me he is getting what he deserves.

[Individualism]

12. Hes a puppet

all he cares about is fighting Israel and Saudi Arabia's wars and making defense contractors rich.

[bemildred]

13. Nothing cheers me up better than seeing pubbies at each others throats. nt

[mnhtnbb]

14. See, that's the difference between Dems and Repubs. You have empathy--even for a POS like Mitt.

[Rosanna Lopez]

15. Pathological liar

I don't feel sorry for a man who's a pathological liar. A man who goes from state to state like a leech and just uses them to advance his political ambitions and then dumps them. A man who, as Joe Klein of TIME said, has about 5 "home states". A man who runs as a moderate Republican to be elected Governor, then betrays the people who elected him by going into a phonebox half-way through his term, changes his clothes and comes out as a conservative who then renounces everything he just stood for.

As Martin Bashir said on MSNBC last month, for a man who claims to be devoutly religious, it is disgraceful what a pathological liar he is.

[Blue_Roses]

17. I understand what you mean...

It's really sad that he has allowed himself to be a puppet, rather than be his own person. Was he always like this?

He has become his own worst enemy.

[Raven]

18. Massachusetts is my home state and I

was living there when he was Governor. I don't recall that he was this bad then... he was certainly politically ambitious but I don't think he had sold his soul yet.

[RebelOne]

19. I have no sympathy for him at all. n/t

[magical thyme]

20. not one cell in my body; not for one second.

On the other hand, I will make an attempt to observe the debates if only to watch him publicly excoriated and humiliated.

There are few people I dislike as much as I dislike Mitt. He's share rare company.
