Romneyism in one line: “Romney is determined to re-brand himself as authentic” http://t.co/sJgSvz7ZRL

My deference duly paid, let me just add an addendum, in the form of an instructive: if you even conceive of authenticity as a kind of costume worn for specific audiences on specific occasions, your very misunderstanding of what authenticity actually is dictates that you have absolutely no chance of ever achieving it.
Romney is the GOP’s version of Zelig. And every bit as fictional. It’s time for him to exit, stage left — which would almost be like a political performative.
It’s all about authenticity — and if you can fake that you’re golden.
if he doesn’t run i want his teeth
“Excuse me while I whip this out.”
It’s bad enough, dealing with hipster douches who can’t separate artifice from authenticity. It’s another thing altogether when the same failing manifests in one’s would-be rulers.
For authenticity, I think we need a president who has gone to be hungry and did not have choice in the matter and true conservative despite that.
Yeah, and the chip stain’s grease will come out in the bath…
I would prefer Exeunt, chased by a bear.
HMM: Romney, ahead of 2016 run, now calls Utah home, talks openly about Mormon influence. Prediction: The presidential talk is a headfake, he’ll actually pivot and run against Mike Lee for Senate.
Yeah, but Romney isn’t “Left left.” So, he’s got that going for him.
The campaign slogan writes itself:
“Vote Romney, not quite as left as the rest of the GOPe.”
Romney needs sit back and enjoy his millions. Perhaps start a foundation, or chair a benevolent committee. Anything but dabble further in politics.
Just GTF out of Scott Walker’s way…

Ah, Blake, sadly Mitt is just as far to the Left – at least he was a Governor of The People’s Republic.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their LBGTQEIEIOs.
Fucking A. Romney, Bush, Boner and Mitch. What about the children?
Slogan idea: I’d shit for Mitt!
“I’d get misty for Christie! ”
” I’d go on the lamb for Graham!”
” Grunt and Push for Bush(3.0) ”
“I’d swing in a Ming sling for King!” (Assuming artisans of the Ming dynasty produced distinctive slings)
“I’d mop up a stain for McCain because of the wound to my brain!”
” If liberty is dying let me be a Paul bearer!”
