Mitt Romney is a family man….and that is a good thing

Governor Mitt Romney and grandchild

Fatherhood is as an honor that has never been bestowed upon this writer.  However, it will be long time before you ever hear me ever criticize anyone who decides to take the responsibility to become a Father and on a broader scale — a family man.  Being a Father and a Family man is in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures and with the full plan of the Almighty God for his people.  It is a plan that I do truly wish I would have taken part in earlier in life and would have like to have had something to show for it.  Sadly to say, that was one of my mistakes in life, that I much do now regret.

Governor Mitt Romney; for all of his things that I dislike about him, his indecisive moderate Conservative politics, his habit of changing his story to fit the situation,  his Mormonism, which I quite simply do not trust — all of that I do not like about him and do criticize him for this a good deal.  However, his morals, his decision to be a Father and an active Father in lives of his children, his moral code — is something to be admired.

This brings me to a question posed by progressive Blogger John Cole:

But what struck me is how happy he looks in most of the pictures.  He doesn’t look stiff and wooden and like the Mitt we all know and loathe.  And I guess I just don’t get it.  Look how happy he is in those pictures on the beach, playing with his grandkids.  If I were in Mitt’s shoes, with a half a billion or however how much money he has, there is simply nothing you could do to make me go through the fresh hell of running for and then serving as President.  He’s spent what- ten years traveling the country eating in shitty little dives, putting up with the bullshit of every potential voter.  I get pissed when the animals wake me up at night, the last damned thing I want to do is get a 3 am phone call and then have to make life or death decisions.  Or get up every day and spend the whole day reading briefing books and making horrible decisions (in my estimation, by the time something gets to the President’s desk, the options are to choose between bad or worse).

Why would anyone in his situation do that to themselves?

Mark this on your calendar, because it is not every day that I quote a progressive blogger in agreement.  Mr. Cole has a point and a good one at that; running for President is a horrible job and the world of politics is an absolute open, running, filthy sewer and I pity the upstanding moral men who actually feel compelled to get involved in it.  Believe me, being a political blogger is not much of a prize either; it is not a glamorous job at all.  This is especially the case, you are seen by the most progressive bloggers as some rich, white guy who is sitting on millions.  This, for what it is worth, is a huge bogus lie.

To Governor Romney, I commend you sir; for having the strength, the courage, and the fortitude, it takes to take the stand that you are and try to run for President, so that you can help your Country.  It has to be love of Country; why else would anyone want that level of scrutiny place upon their lives, on their fortunes and their families?

Either way, I commend the man — because Mitt Romney, as a family man, has that practice down to a science.

However, I will be damned if I will ever vote for that insignificant, lying, flip-flopping, joke of a Republican!

  1. Your blog should probably just be “rantings” as it runs short on “thoughts.” You smugly think you made a clever little turn, but your bigotry and ignorance shines the brightest.  You are the reason people mock the GOP, not Romney.  He is absolutely conservative.  If you want to pick a few social issues out of the social, international and economic pillars of conservatism and mock him for that, then you have to rub a few brain cells together and realize that every person in politics has those (Reagan was pro-choice before pro-life, individual mandate was from the Heritage Foundation and supported by Gingrich and it is only because Gingrich was not a governor that we don’t talk of GingrichCare, Santorum voted for Medicare Part D which is unfunded, Santorum didn’t crusade for spending cuts but rather spending increases).  So if you call Romney a flip-flopper or moderate due to your vapid, media-driven, lazy intellectualization, then it applies to all equally.  Good luck with your blog.

    1.  Oh and, Who said I was rooting for Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum?

      I’m voting libertarian in the general, and not voting in the Michigan Primary at all.

      I guess some people should actually read this blog before making baseless accusations.

      Just sayin’ ya’ll
