Romney’s Character Comes To Light, And It’s Dark Indeed

Character is a combination of traits that etch the outlines of a life, governing moral choices and infusing personal and professional conduct. It’s an elusive thing, easily cloaked or submerged by the theatrics of a presidential campaign, but unexpected moments can sometimes reveal the fibers from which it is woven.

Last week, Mitt Romney had just such a moment. His rash, crass and blatantly dishonest response to violent protests in Libya and Egypt exposed a feckless and contemptible character that places political advantage above patriotism and values winning at any cost over courage, honor and truth.

As mobs attacked U.S. embassies in the Middle East, Romney rushed to use the moment as a cudgel against his rival, President Obama. He might have waited to find out whether any diplomats had been injured or Marines attacked. He did not. He might have waited until a day of mourning in commemoration of national tragedy — 9/11 — was over. He did not.

In truth, Romney’s shamelessness and shallowness have been on display for years, evident in his falsehoods, his hypocrisy and his spinelessness. He has no apparent political principles that he will not jettison if circumstances seem to dictate a change in ideology.

Most revealing of Romney’s character (or lack thereof), however, is his contentious relationship with truth. His criticism of Obama’s Middle East foreign policy is of a piece with his oft-repeated claim that the president has traveled the world on an “apology tour,” kowtowing before foreign leaders and paying penance for his nation’s sins. Never happened, as several independent fact-checkers have said.

1. Willard sees no problem with stepping on dead Americans to gain the presidency

Willard sees no problem hunting down people he thinks are gay with a mob of his friends to cut their hair
Willard sees no problem with destroying government records
Willard sees no problem hiding Olympic records
Willard sees no problem withholding his tax returns because he is AFRAID to let people see what he thinks is important in finance
Willard is AFRAID to let people see what kind of man he is


WIllard makes me VERY AFRAID if he becomes president
IF Willard dies in office the second in command makes me MORE AFRAID

3. Agree!

That is what it seems like to me. Mitt Romney has won so many of his battles in life by cheating the system and cutting the corners. No one dared to call him on his misdeeds. So why are those little people calling him out now?

Notice how Mitt Romney sees nothing wrong in lying?

2. I see and feel..

His Evil. Not Kidding.

4. Romney’s Character has been on display forever. He is the son of privilege and as such believes

He deserves it. It being whatever he wants. His whole life has been spent in developing this attitude.

He has never had any occasion to not get his way and has come to believe that is his gawd given right to
have every damn whim catered to.

Given his life's advantage he could have chosen to spend his time in service to his community in some fashion;
instead he chose to enrich himself by destroying ordinary people's lives.
They did not deserve their jobs if shipping them to China put money in Willard's pocket.
The same for their retirement healthcare education vacation air and water.

There is nothing Willard will not sacrifice for MONEY except himself and his family.

5. he's repeating a long held meme of the PNAC right

a bunch of these boobs advise him on foreign policy. They have an alternative universe view of foreign policy to say the least.

6. What we are witnessing

for the first time in our nations history is a man who wants power at all cost at the presidential platform. He knows what he is doing, yet not know he is crazy with what he wants. And the sad thing about it is that he's doing these things thinking his buddies in the GOP are not using him as a puppet.
