CNN an interview with Romney tonight. Gloria Borger asked Romney

about election night. He said he knew he was winning independents in Ohio. So he thought he was winning the election at first. What they were not expecting was all the minorities to come out and vote in Ohio. TAKE THAT YOU VOTER SUPPRESSING ***holes! Nobody deserved an election loss more than Republicans IMHO

Bush Senior is one of the GOP's elder statesmen...president, VP, congressman, ambassador, Director of Central Intelligence, this guy did enough that he deserves the appellation "Elder Statesman."

Romney was a governor so bad he didn't even bother to run for a second term, the guy who lost the GOP nomination in 2008 to John McCain and the guy who lost the 2012 general election to Barack Obama. What Romney is, is the leading contender for the title of worst politician of the last fifty years.

Mitt's whole life is a litany of failure and devastation. The only thing the bastard has to his credit is that he owns a house with four washing machines and a car elevator.

He was acting so damned strange and desperate.

Anything is possible I suppose. But my hunch is that he's covering his ass since he duped a lot of supporters rich and poor.

At first I was incredulous that they actually didn't realize they were going to lose. I thought the bravado was all a PR stunt, to convey confidence, depress the other side's turnout and make his election seem inevitable. But then I started thinking about what an isolated life that man has led. He has no idea what reality is like. He has entire teams of people around him kissing his ass and living in a Fox News circle jerk. So, I started to see how it could be that truly thought he was going to win.

As Bugs Bunny would say: What a maroon.

Hey,
Love that phrase. However, I think it applies to almost all the corporate media. They all go to the same Washington cocktail parties and you ever notice how certain phrases come up and then are used by all of them over and over and over. "Gravitas" was one, I can't remember which candidate that one was about now though.

Peace

Well something I truly enjoyed and got very much. Remember when President O told mitwit that he would have him come for a visit. Well he did and sure enough mitwit showed up and President O did the coolest thing he's done so far. He served the bastard, get this, White Turkey Chili. Talk about putting the idiot in his place
I still laugh when I think about that.

And I've seen a lot of ignorant cork soakers in my time.

But, your husband is the most ignorant one of all time.

He has set a whole new level for ignorant cork soaking.
It's as if he wants to make the name "Romney" synonymous with "totally ignorant cork soaker".

Did Gore do any similar interviews 9 months after his loss to Bush?

Did Kerry do any similar interviews 9 months after his loss to Bush?

Did McCain do any similar interviews 9 months after his loss to Obama?

Romney is a deeply disturbed person. But he shouldn't be displaying that on teevee. He should be getting professional help.

I don't think anyone's buying, not even Republicans.
Maybe he's trying to stay relevant in some way.

Did CNN interview any of their wives about the horrible loss. Mrs. Rmoney was even worse than her husband if that is possible. She said that Shitt is an excellent executive and the US presidency is an executive position (like it's some fugging corporation)

I mean, come on now... The first time he answered this question, right after the election, he spoke of "gifts" that were given to minorities. And now, months later, the only thing he changed was the word "gift." He also repeated the crap about Hurricane Sandy coming at the wrong time.

He's a cold, callous man with no ability to empathize with others, but the interesting thing is his inability to hide it. Is it possible for a Harvard educated "business" man to be that obtuse and tone deaf?

The entire interview reads like something dreamed up by the Onion.
