It implies that there's something wrong with that. It's like calling someone "gay" to imply that there's something bad about being gay. Please don't do that on DU. In fact, it would be great if you self-deleted your post. Thanks.

I've been able to separate someone's grossness from their politics. And Newt could hold a good conversation. But tell him to never wipe his nose on public TV. He looked like a walrus swiping the nose drip from his nose like some walrus or something . I call that the grossed thing I ever saw on TV. Grossed.

no one in history has even come close.
Even the Bush's and Cheney had one redeeming value. Mitt has zero.

Mitt is the first example in history of a billionaire CEO in reality being trailer trash.

He has no reason for wanting to be president except perhaps to beat his father at something.
He must really hate his father.
A good psychiatrist would have a field day on him.

that Bushy is simple-minded, and I would agree. Not that that, in itself, is a redeeming value, but I can sort of forgive a person of limited intelligence.

Cheney, on the other hand, is an evil ghoul . . . and a war criminal . . . I'm still waiting for his indictment! What a waste of a good donor heart!

Mon Oct 8, 2012, 08:03 PM

they created the simple mind, dumb failure image who was so stupid he didn't have the ability to lie which of course enabled him to do all he did.

That book by Paul Waldman "Fraud" goes step by step in how over the years the entire family has repeated every single thing over and over and they will try again with Jeb (and then later on the next generation).

But I don't hate them personally- I hate what they did, I hate their politics and all, but not personal.

This guy Mitt though is despicable and a puppet at the same time. For all we know, he is the type of person that is being paid to do all he is doing just to make money.
who knows???
His father, while I wasn't politically a fan, was a decent person it seemed (not that I ever delved much into more than I saw on TV about him), and nothing like Mitt is.

IMHO.

Mon Oct 8, 2012, 01:45 PM
Oct 2012

As White House Chief of Staff he used military jets, White House vehicles, and even rented taxis to take him golfing, skiing and stamp collecting.

It is estimated his misadventures cost American taxpayers over $675,000 dollars for transportation alone. John, facing an angry public and difficult questions from the press only paid back about $45,000.

He is now one of Rmoney's key advisers - will he be back in the White House pulling the same stunts anytime soon? Its up to you.

That's just me.

Newt is a punk and hypocrite, but at least he had "some" sense of shame in regards to making his arguments towards presidency a little bit balanced. Just a tiny bit mind you, till he got blasted for it.
He even went against Paul Ryan's plan till he got spanked for that.

Sunnunu is nowhere near as damaging as Ryan at the moment, so I don't care about him as much.
