Mitt Romney Detached Himself From

[lame54]

The Republican Centipede

[Pachamama]

1. His soul is saved

[lame54]

3. And his mouth is clean

[lunatica]

4. Well that's debatable, but he did do the right thing this time.

[2naSalit]

8. He already

claims to be "saint" so...

[Nikki28]

2. how do we

contact them all to thank them for being on the right side of the law and we need to flood their lines with positive msg, and let them know we have their back.

[Hekate]

12. Go to senate.gov and look up your Senator, or write a letter & mail it to....

The Honorable (Name)
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

5. He just voted NOT guilty

[lame54]

7. He made half a stand

[California_Republic]

6. Voted not guilty on obstruction

9. Look Mitt is a very shrewd guy.

When all the dust has settled, who now has any gravitas to pick up a conservative banner and create a new party once the orange idiot has beaten the present incarnation of the Republican Party into bloody pulp?

Mitt does. And he knows it. He did this purposely knowing that there’s a tough row to hoe ahead, but if you hoe to the end of the row, you get the rewards.

And I have to give him props for having the integrity to be the only one

THE ONLY ONE

of those soulless bastards in the Republican Party to actually to the right thing here.

[lame54]

10. By half

[Arthur_Frain]

15. At this point I'll take what I can get on this vote.

One half is better than none at all.

[Hekate]

13. Also he really believes in a "oath before God" & as Nicolle pointed out, the rest of them CLAIM ...

...they believe in a God to whom an oath matters.

What I say is: the rest of the Republicans are foresworn, and that used to mean something.

[Arthur_Frain]

14. I lived in Utah long enough to give him the benefit on his religious convictions.

I think he’s sincere. The problem I have is having watched his church shovel their unrelenting, unforgiving, self righteous, people-hurting doctrine, that comes down from their council of 12 down everyone in Utahs throats, believer or not. He doesn’t get separation of church and state. None of them do. Not really. And for that I won’t give him a pass.

[Hekate]

16. Completely understand that part. It is the staggering hypocrisy of the rest of the GOP...

...swearing allegiance to both the Evangelicals and Trump that just makes me gag. What we are experiencing now is the end-product of the mess Newt Gingrich & his cohort started.

[Arthur_Frain]

17. As i was watching last night it was like an out take from "The Wall"

Cult behavior. Undeniably. These people have devolved.

[Hekate]

18. Speaking of cults, have you read "The Cult of Trump" by Steven Hassan?

My husband just finished it last week and I'm about to begin. Some of the stuff that was news to him was already familiar to me from years at DU, but some of what he repeated to me was new.

[Arthur_Frain]

22. Thanks for the recco.

Honestly though, having to deal with this in real life, when I do find time to read I like to stick to the classic literature I haven’t gotten to yet, and histories or historical fiction.

Need to escape somewhere!

[Hekate]

23. Deapite my best intentions, I am having a really hard time reading nonfiction myself...nt

[Volaris]

20. He doesnt need trumps base in order to keep his seat (hes got his own),

And now he can run for president again.

[Pobeka]

11. No. When he changes parties and caucuses with Dems then he'll be detached.

Until then his symbolic vote will only be used to help get him re-elected and let the GOP continue to hold a majority in the senate.

[gollygee]

19. He doesn't want his great-great-grandkids

to be embarrassed when they read about this in their history classes.

[Gore1FL]

21. He'll be back. nt
