Republicans used to be this way.

fascismwontwin.bsky.social•136 days ago

I actually like and respect Romney a lot more than I do a lot of Repubs. He's done both good and bad, as we all have, but I believe he's inherently a good man who tried to do right by his constituents in MA. I just wish his spine was stiffer when needed. However, his voice of reason will be missed.

nyalfuentes.bsky.social•136 days ago

worked in Massachusetts state government for over 23 years. It's funny to read this now I was just telling a neighbor I miss Governor Romney. I'm far to the left of him politically, didn't agree on a lot of stuff, but he was an outstanding public manager. Trusted his people, made the tough calls

tk0455hopedale.bsky.social•136 days ago

I hear Mitt Romney was a brilliant man. Too bad we now have Trump!

craz3z.bsky.social•136 days ago

With all due respect, Romney is one of the many Republicans who obeyed in advance and ducked out when we needed people to stay and fight.

msmalarkey24.bsky.social•136 days ago

Sorry, but Romney did the bare minimum. Then to say he “can’t vote for either candidate” or some bs. Never called out enabling & sycophantic colleagues either. He doesn’t have half the bravery of you & Liz Cheney.

beccaguitargoddess.bsky.social•136 days ago

This. Exactly.

mimig1.bsky.social•136 days ago

You beat me to write exactly the same thing, Ms. M, totally spot on, Romney’s a snake, non-lethal maybe, but a snake all the same…

msmalarkey24.bsky.social•136 days ago

🎯 his argument was he wanted to shape the future of the GOP. Lol good luck with that buddy.

benswaz.bsky.social•136 days ago

So radical. Such a role model.

dpolar.bsky.social•136 days ago

Dude, Mitt Romney is a chicken-shit who has ever so feebly managed a tepid resistance to Shitler -- nothing like your own, for example. Couldn't even support Harris for fear he'd have no role in the future of the Repos. And he has none.

austinrob.bsky.social•136 days ago

You, Mitt and Liz have shown courage. I truly hope others do the same in the upcoming confirmation hearings.

itek-mark.bsky.social•136 days ago

Mitt Romney is no Trump. But he's stood by, tolerated, and directly participated in too large a share of the Tea Party Patriot, Rush Limbaugh, Trump, & Fredo W. Bush lunacy.

Thanks for not being batshit crazy, sincerely, but no free pass. U should have done more.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

itsmevicki.bsky.social•135 days ago

The problem I had with Mitt Romney was that he was always going to vote to protect the family trust fund, same as most of our other wealthy politicians.

4kvideodrones.bsky.social•135 days ago

Exactly. He's a trust funder and a product of nepotism.

Romney inherited wealth which has been compounded over the years. Off shore accounts does not spell "patriotism" to me.

hardboilededdie.bsky.social•136 days ago

And if the GOP hadn’t lost its mind and demonized people like him (and you), he’d probably still be in office and Charlie Baker would be President.

Instead, we have nonstop bile and bullsh*t.

tima1962.bsky.social•136 days ago

I know you were or are a republican, but that is truly the dumbest take on Mitt Romney that I have ever heard! He is a wealthy grifter that destroyed people’s lives and then never stood up for the country when needed. He is disgustiing!!

mermaid1566.bsky.social•136 days ago

Disagree he didn’t stand on principle when it counted and only after he had nothing to loose did he speak up - so much for Mormon principles

merrittwdwking.bsky.social•136 days ago

Mitt Romney is a private equity grifter. Always has been. He ran a carpet bag campaign for the MA governorship from Utah using his son’s basement in Belmont as a mailing address to claim residency. He said he was going to reduce taxes in MA, but just increased revenue through fee increases.

mydogisexhausted.bsky.social•136 days ago

There’s nothing radical about Mitt Romney. I think his instincts are good, but he just doesn’t have enough backbone to really do much.

pennyflynn.bsky.social•136 days ago

Have Republicans since 1980 really been about public service at all though? Didn’t Reagan destroy everything really? He started the decline. With a smile.

Not a fan of his but at least he sticks to certain principles and doesn’t change dude to pressure. I long for the days when a republican getting elected wasn’t a threat to our democracy. It weird times when I miss republicans like Romney and Bush jr. I’ll even take a Chaney. Crazy

lostcoastspinnery.bsky.social•136 days ago

No. I grew up in Dedham, MA. I saw the first hand destruction Mr. Romney did with his debt loading of small business. I had to drive down Mass Ave with his tacky signs. "If you lived here you'd be home by now." Knowing full well none of us making under 75k could afford it.

handmaid.bsky.social•136 days ago

This is a real shit take. Anyone who lived in Mass while Romney was Governor knows he claimed ownership of two important changes, Universal Health Care and Gay Marriage, both of which he opposed. His time at Bain Capital was spent packing troubled assets with debt then selling the debt to vultures

handmaid.bsky.social•136 days ago

He put so many out of work with his "troubled assets" selling that it was widely written about at the time. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/romney-bain-and-the-44-million-bailout-idUSBRE87L135/

Romney did not vote in favor of the ACA, McCain did.

Which was astonishing because we got full public healthcare in Massachusetts under Romney. But he ran away from it when he ran in 2012.

sh60sue.bsky.social•136 days ago

Excellent point!

sophiazib.bsky.social•136 days ago

Not so radical. I still remember his comment about the 47% who don’t pay income taxes (but often do pay state & local taxes). He worked for Bain Capital. Management consulting partners earn insane amounts of money: e.g. $4K a day/study in the 80s at McKinsey. He’s clueless about the working class

velvetmead.bsky.social•136 days ago

Mmm. Not a fan

saltyinnj.bsky.social•136 days ago

He really didn't defy partisanship. Not when it mattered.

70weight.bsky.social•136 days ago

Romney is the Barry Goldwater of this generation. That’s not “radical.” He’s just the old brand of terrible that seems less terrible by comparison to the new brand.

kristen9397.bsky.social•136 days ago

That's the problem. He's too quiet. He's proven to be a coward.

gloriapissedoff.bsky.social•136 days ago

He threw what power he had away when your party needed him the most. He’s a toothless tiger with zero roars to give. Wise up.

kokojo66.bsky.social•136 days ago

I think a lot of folks forget Kinzinger is a republican. Ok he stood against Trump but isn’t he a Reagan fan.

shankspeare.bsky.social•136 days ago

Right. Fan of a racist homophobe that hoped "the gays" would just die off before he had to admit AIDS was real. Fuck Reagan.

andzinthesky.bsky.social•136 days ago

Romney is trump dressed in culture and old money.

madisonnative.bsky.social•136 days ago

No, he's not. I'm no Romney fan, but he does stick with certain principles. He's one of the few 'old timers' that should've worked much harder to prevent the republican party from becoming what it did.

andzinthesky.bsky.social•136 days ago

Sure, that's your opinion.

But Romney views most Americans as worthless collateral whose only value comes when you die and compost the earth. He has and will happily accept every vile thing Trump asks for because Romney's true god is money.

madisonnative.bsky.social•136 days ago

I don't disagree with that assessment, but he's corruptly different than Trump in many fundamental ways. Like I said, I'm no fan, but I'd take him over the POS Ron Johnson.

Respectfully, in contrast to the nut jobs that make up the majority of the #GOP, he comes across as a traditional Republican. But he has at times supported #Trump, and his predatory private equity firm Bain Capital, among other things he’s done, have had negative impacts in a lot of ways.

jenhamilton.bsky.social•136 days ago

Honestly Adam, repubs like you, Romney and Cheney have to stop patting yourselves on the back for defying Trump and his maga minions. You are complicit and need to take accountability. Repubs consistently vote to keep the working class down. Is it any wonder that people are so angry and

Lol. A role model? He's an arrogant insufferable prick that votes against the best interests of humans

danrosanova.bsky.social•136 days ago

Watching the responses here makes me pretty sure the worst is not over for us yet.

He balanced the budget in Massachusetts by, among other things, raising tuition at state universities and colleges making it unaffordable for many. In some cases it was tripled!

kcsahles.bsky.social•136 days ago

He literally voted with Trump the entire time, and was always the very last vote for anything slightly controversial, but only when the opposition vote was free and clear.

What a moral giant. 🙄

Because moral people strap the family dog on the roof of a car.

catx3.bsky.social•136 days ago

He and Susan Collins are two peas in a pod. Pathetic cowards.

kitkatknox.bsky.social•136 days ago

Don't forget Murkowski

catx3.bsky.social•136 days ago

I did! Apparently she’s quite forgettable. lol.

kcsahles.bsky.social•136 days ago

I wish I believed in a hell where they would rot. But they don’t believe in it either.

I am sorry I thought Mitt Romney to far right when he ran for president. We were coming off George W and him sending me to war. I only wish we could have….any person run who is as Centrist as Mitt or you!!

jsyoder.bsky.social•136 days ago

I thought it said a hole.

fatesrival.bsky.social•136 days ago

Lmao. What a joke. There is absolutely nothing radical about Mitt Romney. As someone who lives in Utah...he is little more than a constant disappointment...

hpfxd52.bsky.social•136 days ago

Sorry my friend I have to strongly disagree with you on this. I find him weak just as he was as our Governor.
IMHO

kimora1223.bsky.social•136 days ago

Time to dust these off.

klosterwoman.bsky.social•136 days ago

That's a NOPE

rockhoundgal.bsky.social•136 days ago

💯.

loraqs.bsky.social•136 days ago

It's been a "cult" since St Ronny the Mendacious Spendthrift.

typomarx.bsky.social•136 days ago

ffsake.

you lost me there.

mitt romney is a lobbyist bitch with an NRA dick in his mouth.

i fixed your headline.

inquisitive2024.bsky.social•135 days ago

Grace maybe, but not the courage to stay around when it is really needed.

vosstulti.bsky.social•136 days ago

Romney is no hero.

deruman.bsky.social•135 days ago

He's been an ineffective spectator.

demental.bsky.social•136 days ago

Credit where credit is due. I disagree with a lot of his policies, but he was a hero when he voted to convict Trump, he saw Russia’s danger far earlier than most, and the guy architected the system that Obamacare was modeled on.

There’s no doubt in my mind he loves the same country I do

zoltar76.bsky.social•135 days ago

I feel like he could have done more. He situated himself outside of the chaos, but did very little to help stop the progression of oligarchy in our country.

In other news Adam Kinzinger is an idiot

Political Update Episode 30: After being named Time's Person of the Year (not a typo), Donald Trump rang the opening bell at the NYSE where he bragged the rich will get richer and the poor will never notice that food prices will get higher.

I usually support you Mr. Kinzinger, but I'm too tired to follow this, sorry. But Mitt Romney? Really? Again, I didn't read the link, but really? Mitt?

alpinefresch.bsky.social•136 days ago

We need you to become more prevalent.

You are a beacon of strength and confidence. You speak logically and are unafraid of the orange taint.

More of this, please!

🙏

russhayden.bsky.social•136 days ago

Defied partisanship.

"Corporations are people my friend" will ALWAYS be his legacy. Right next to
"Binders full of women"

echo-delta-golf.bsky.social•134 days ago

I did not love everything he tried to do when he governed Massachusetts. Particularly around gay marriage but outside that I didn’t hate him.

calemiller.bsky.social•136 days ago

His birther jokes killed in Michigan in 2012. Hoo boy.
