The Speech Mitt Romney Never Gave
Post by JOANNA BROOKS

We never expected Mitt Romney to tell the story of Mormonism.

He had other work to do. Hard work. He was, after all, running for president.

But what if he had? What if Romney and his handlers had allowed just one Mormon pioneer wagon to roll across the screen during a Republican National Convention biopic?

What if he could have given a speech that connected the Mormon story to the American story, Mormon values to American values?

What if he had said something like this:

I think this would have been a welcomed ice breaker in a nationwide discussion about Mormonism and LDS.

The time has come.

Too bad we were denied that opening.

Read the speech at the link.

Good thing Americans are not a violent towards Mormonism as they were in the 18th century...

Romney purchased Armco with just $8 million down, borrowing the rest of the $75 million price tag. Then he issued bonds — basically IOUs — to borrow even more to pay himself and his investors $36 million.

Within a year, he'd already made four times his initial investment while barely lifting a finger. But he'd also run up a staggering $378 million in debt on GSI's tab.

Sent them all packing to Mexico.

Then, they sneaked back across, dropped some anchor babies and we've been stuck with them ever since.

My favorite Mitt moment was when he dissed the cookies that someone had baked for him. He is a class act.

I think crazy Uncle Joe Biden said a few interesting things.
And he is second in line to the president.

Standing in a group of black women and singing, "Who let the dogs out".

Yep, class act.

A really really low class.

Perhaps. But he is not who we are talking about. Do you understand why your bringing him up is lame? Do you get it?

Check this tool out.

I got something for YOU to eat, LoneLaugher

Okay?

That's CRAZY.

You have any idea how many people would intentionally poison him?

Stupido.

Awkward perhaps. And that's IF it is as you say.

But we shouldn't choose our POTUS on the charming scale.

We should have gone about choosing a president the same way we would hire a skilled professional to manage our affairs of state.

Last, the VERY LAST requirement I'd have for the potus would be that they are smooth talkers or back slappers or good at reading a teleprompter.

If we had looked at the two on that basis Obama would have gone back to ChiTown.

Judge Luddly Neddite you have absolutely no credibility in my eyes when you fail to present the REST of the story.

That bogus list of sensational statements and allegations reveals two things.

One, about Mitt: He has little artifice. If Mitt had more phoniness about himself all of those supposed faults would have been scrubbed or managed away.

Just as Obama has done. And which you love.

What you SHOULD want as an HR person in charge of hiring a new POTUS is a transparent guy who offers no excuses because to anyone who has lived life and achieved in business knows Mitt is a real man and he has done nothing which needs to be hidden or lied about.

You'd want a natural, authentic man devoid of deception.

But nooooooooooooooo! Not you Liberals.

You decided you wanted to bank on refined and processed meat mix from pieces all over the world.

Like Hogshead Cheese. Salami. Bologna. Hot Dogs. Scrapple.

Instead of USDA Prime Cut Grade A T-Bone or Rib Eye.

You eat crap and think it is the best.

You don't know what a great candidate for president is.

You just choose him like you would an American Idol contestant.

And the nation has finally come to its senses.

The polls tell the story.

JUST HEARD FROM EL RUSHBO: John Bolton says you can get away with murdering the POTUS' personal representative (i.e. Amb. Chris Stevens) and get away with it, Scot-free.

Your avi patron saint knows Mitt would not like her promiscuity.

You chose her, presumably, for just that reason.

You like lots of casual sex and any expense from this sexual liberty being borne by others?

Yes?
