Mr. Romney has ceased to be amusing.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

...........why would he stand on a terrace overlooking the "old" Old City and offer up our security to the crowd like Pilate offering a Barabbas for Jesus deal? What is so dear and holy to him that he is willing to trade our troops, our sailors, our flyers on the table to purchase it?

The presidency, of course. The dream of his father. The perfect picture of himself and his beloved wife waving from the portico of the White House, ultimate Prom King and Queen. He has stolen and destroyed and tax-dodged his way to wealth unimaginable but this final attaboy, this final "such a good son" has eluded him. And he must have it.

Like Israel, the actual job means nothing to him. He's made it clear that he intends to leave the policy and direction and management to others. He just wants that picture of him and Ann waving from that house.

But even a man of his wealth can't afford to simply pull out the AmEx black card and buy the office. For that he needs help from other obscenely wealthy men, men with their own agendas. And, since he cares nothing for actual policy, for a "vision thing," he's willing to let them exercise theirs, in exchange for their money (hello, Mr. Adelson, hello, Mssrs. Koch) or their credibility (hello, Mr. Cheney, hello, Mr. Bolton).

1. Mr. Romney has never been amusing.

Not one fucking time has he ever been amusing. He is a sickening fucking psychopath.

2. +1.

And we all thought having Sarah Palin that close to the Presidency.......was unacceptable and insane.

We also came out to vote D in full force.

Now we have Romney and entire his family of frauds, including sons, shady LDS dealings, ponzi scheming, outsourcer extraordinaire, thief, tax dodger and fraud, warmonger, friend of the 1% enemy of the 99%...

WE must come out to vote D, full force!

6. +10! Hear! Hear!

Nailed it: "Now we have Romney and entire his family of frauds, including sons, shady LDS dealings, ponzi scheming, outsourcer extraordinaire, thief, tax dodger and fraud, warmonger, friend of the 1% enemy of the 99%..."

3. That is it exactly: He wants to be Prom King! nt

4. I've never found him amusing.

Creepy, ominous, distrustful, greedy, etc.

Never amusing.

5. Isn't it a Morman belief that before the end of days, a Mormon will be President.

All these wars Romney talks about is just to insure the end of all days for everyone.

7. Goint to read this when I get home.

8. "Vision thing"

I had forgotten about that. Good reference by the writer to tie the present to the past.
