He is the one of the most intellectually dishonest human beings in the
history of politics, an ambitious man with no political principle whatsoever.
He makes a point to claim that he is a "normal person with normal emotions".
When he greets his lawn care workers, he uses a loud, very bad accented
"Buenos dias!" to the illegal Guatemalan immigrants doing the landscaping.
He's the type of person, who the more he speaks, the less believable he
becomes. He tries too hard to convince people that he is trustworthy and
nary a hair is ever out of place. He's made it clear that he is not a
big-game hunter, but that he has always been a rabbit and rodent hunter. He
began hunting small varmints when he was about 15 and he has "hunted those
kinds of varmints since then". lol......His claim of having been a "lifelong
hunter", though he didn't own a gun, has never had a hunting license and had
only joined the NRA in August of 2006 as a "lifetime member" came about at
approximately the same moment he started to campaign for the Presidency
(obviously another Thug fake, phony and fraud lol). It turns out, his
"lifelong hunting" turned out to be a total of 2 hunts, one as a teen,
hunting rabbits in idaho, and one about the time he started running for the
Presidency, chasing lol.....fenced in quail, at a Republicon fundraiser lol.
Probably one of the most bizarre scandals of his campaign involved Jay
Garrity, his director of operations (his right-hand man.) Garrity resigned
from the campaign after several allegations that he claimed to be a police
officer, and used that phony authority to intimidate people. In one case,
Garrity pulled over a NYT reporter, ran his license plates and ordered him
to stop following the campaign caravan. He also called a plumbing company,
identifying himself as "Trooper Garrity" to complain about one of their
employees whose driving upset him. He was cited by Boston police in 2004 for
having police equipment, including a flash bar with flashing red and blue
lights in his Crown Victoria (a Ford vehicle used by many police departments at the time)
without authorization. His personnel vehicle was also part of the fraud, a Crown Vic lol,
to act as though he were part of the undercover state troopers security detail. Though he resigned,
Garrity remained under investigation in two other states for impersonating a
police officer. You can tell a lot about a person by the company he keeps.
It actually gets worse, Garrity made up fake police badges, and gave them to
several other staffers who used them to order reporters and other people out
of events, get past security guards and get this, with all his money, they
used these fake badges to avoid paying highway tolls. I guess they needed
those stinking badges after all. The sad thing is, staff members who were
using the badges, knew they were fake and illegal. It's hard to believe that
Mitt Romney (Yes, you guessed it, it is none other than, not a hair out of place, Mittens)
himself did not notice the badge flashing, after all, Garrity rarely left
his side and Garrity was constantly flashing the police badge as they blew
through security into various events and venues, so how could Mittens not know lol.
Each day, everyday, your right hand man (who rarely leaves your side) and other staff,
are flashing their phony police badges and Mitt Romney, the Presidential candidate,
knows nothing about it? lol, Give me a break, just another in the line of
fake, phony and fraudulent Republicons, and yes, using a fake police badge is
illegal and the former governor knew it, in any event, ignorance of the law
is no excuse even if it's feigned.
Mittens also claims to be tough on illegal immigrants and has pushed for a "wall on
the Mexican border" so fervently, that at the time, Bill (LOOFAH) O'Reilly offered to
call it the "Mitt Romney Memorial Wall." There was only one glitch in this, while
Romney was talking tough on the "illegals wall talk", immigrants (illegal) had been doing
his gardening for over 10 years. They made $8 to $9 per hr working 11hr days.
Two of these former workers were interviewed back in Guatemala, where they
have returned. "They (the Romney's) wanted that house to look really nice," said one
worker, now back in Copado, Guatemala. "It took a long time." The other, Rene
Alvarez Rosales (now in Suchitepequez, Guatemala) said it cost him about
$5,000 to have a smuggler take him back across the border. When asked about
the illegal workers on his property, Romney replied "aw geez" and then walked
away lol. Now if that's not Presidential lol, I don't know what is.
On one occasion, a legitimate state trooper (a real one with a real badge and everything),
with the Romney security detail, asked about the immigration status of the
workers on Mittens property, he was told they were legal, but when asked to see their papers,
the "real" trooper was told, they just "forgot" to bring their
papers that day lol, oh well, maybe they'll bring them on the morrow.
Some of his flat out lies, say a lot about the man who made most of his money
buying struggling companies, laying off workers, breaking up the companies
and selling off the assets, nice guy huh? A typical me me me, I got mine
Political Pig. Some of those little lies are as follows, Mittens has said:
"I've been a hunter pretty much my entire life." (He hunted once at 15, and a second time in his late 50s.)
"I have a gun of my own." (Not true. He was talking about a gun one of his grown sons own.)
"I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the
fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA." (No - and his Democratic opponent actually had a higher NRA rating)
"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King." (No, they never marched together. They were both in Michigan at the same time once, but Mitt was in France on his mission.)
"My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit." (even more false...)
This last lie was the best of all because of the waffling that Romney did
trying to explain it. After a Boston newspaper showed that they couldn't have
marched together, a Mittens spokesman said that "George W. Romney and Martin
Luther King Jr. marched together in June, 1963 although possibly not on the
same day or in the same city." And Mittens then explained "I've "tried" to be
as accurate as I can be, (lol) the man needs to "try" in order to tell the truth.
If you look at the literature, or look at the dictionary, the term 'saw'
includes being aware of, if you say "I saw Roger Federer beat Novak
Djokovic", it doesn't necessarily mean you were there.
Mittens was even able to avoid the vietnam war because he was on his "Mormon
mission", traveling around the French countryside. The Mormon church
defines missions, (which all good young Mormon men go on) as a form of
"priesthood.) Not one of Romney's 5 sons has served in the armed forces, even
though their father argues for American military involvement in various countries
around the globe including but not limited to Iraq.
And if you want to hear a statement that screams entitlement or "I'm better than
you are", when Mittens was asked to justify his hypocrisy, he claimed that "his
sons were serving their country by driving Winnebago's around Iowa campaigning
for him." How pathetically self serving of him. Sure, that's exactly like
serving your country on a battlefield dodging bullets and avoiding Improvised
Explosive Devices that blow off body parts and kill. What a bunch of scum.
So, Republicons would seriously consider this person to have the power of the Presidency?
Just another fake, phony and fraud and 5 fake, phony and fraudulent sons in the making.
Great, just what this country needs, 5 more super rich, entitled, arrogant, silver spoon
fed dirt bags who could run for office at some point and continue their fathers lies and pandering
and do god knows what further damage, to our already faltering Democracy. Mitt Romney should never
be President of these currently Divided States of America, he could only divide them more and continue
the Republicons path of destruction.
