I can't tell if he's a sly dishonorable politician or if he honestly believes the BS that he spews out every time he gets the chance to speak. This quote from CNN's Political Ticker leads me to believe that not only is it both, but he is also nauseatingly cocky and arrogant:
"Tonight I predict that most of the guns will be aimed at me. I predict they're going to be shooting shots one after the other and they're going miss," Romney told a Florida crowd packed into a local restaurant. "They're going to shoot time and time again but you know, if they're shooting at me that means I'm the guy they're worried about and for good reason, because we are going to win Florida!"
That's exactly what they did tonight in Boca Raton at the debate - shoot continuous shots at him. And what did he do? Romney did all but literally spit on Hillary Clinton's shoes. To those that were listening and weren't blinded by his sparkling grin of deception, it is apparent that he has no respect for Hillary and sees her campaign as a nothing more than a Clinton couple's effort for the white house. He definitely scored with Hillary-haters tonight, as he took every opportunity he could to speak out against her.
While Republican candidate Ron Paul did a poor job of dodging his own shots when he was questioned about his loyalty to the Republican Party due to his previous run for the presidency as a Libertarian candidate in 2004), Mitt Romney was prepared for every shot. He made it is point to appear to be the most conservative candidate, the kind of conservative that can "be trusted" and the kind that clearly doesn't trust the Democrats. He openly supported President Reagan, saying that he would lead like him, yet also said he wouldn't raise taxes as Reagan did. He openly supported the war in Iraq and Bush's decision to invade, yet said he would have done it differently and made different decisions.
It seems that Romney is just the perfect Republican candidate right (at least that what's he'd tell you). He has the best aspects of previous conservative leaders but, of course, with politically sensitive issues, ones on which there is a clear "P.C." opinion, Romney votes classic Conservative. It's almost as if the Republican Party created its own Manchurian Candidate. But with one flaw: he's Mormon. Was it a slip up in the data entry? Or a planned error meant to deflect the public from catching onto their undercover plot?
When Republicans act like Democrats, America loses," he said.
What a shocker? He's against Democrats? Wow, that's so unlike him!
