The Utah senator and globalist called for a US carbon tax. Mitt argued that climate change was real.

And he promised to work for coal miners once he puts them out of work.

Romney, Flake and Harry Reid are clearly working together.
Most likely Reid is the one calling the shots as Romney is a follower and not a leader.

I would still like to find out the Mormon Church connection to the NSA building in UT.

When Utah took all the Mormons from the other states, they misunderstood and were really getting all the ‘morons’ from other states.

Dear Mitt:

Your nose is getting dull. I no longer believe you can pierce two-inch thick plate steel if you charge at it at full gallop. Give it a try. Prove me wrong, RINO.

PS: .!.. ..!. and STFU.

Although I voted for him and was dismayed at the returns on Election Night, I’m glad Romney lost in 2012. During the subsequent years, we were better off with a lazy Democrat in the White House whose options were limited by a Republican Congress than we would have been had we elected a Rino who might have peeled off enough members of his own party to push through a leftist agenda.

Any possible way to oppose Trump.

GFY, Romney

During a speech at the conservative Sutherland Institute in Salt Lake City, the senator acknowledged that the position is rare among his fellow Republicans, but one that younger people seem to respond to more strongly than older conservatives.

“In some respects, (by speaking with newer conservatives), I’ll be able to make inroads with some of the young people coming along,” he said…

Like the way you didn't connect with young people in 2012 when you were younger than you are now? I get that Utah is largely Mormon, but didn't they at least try to consider whether this putz was worth sending to Washington?

The Bureaucrats are here to help. We pay our taxes to keep the government alive and now that is not enough money for the elite and the massive government employee base, so lets create a new demon to scare the populace to hand over more tax money to solve a problem that has been in motion for several billion years.

Does anyone else see a problem here?

Does going into politics just turn you into a raving idiot or just corrupt everything you are?

Climate change is real...its called seasons ....

“I wish Trump would call him to resign his senate seat to serve as ambassador to El Salvador or something. “

How about Libya...there is opening there.

Climate change has been happening for millions of years. Politicians stealing money from people who work for a living isn’t going to stop it.

I can’t figure this guy out. He knows a run of the mill Republican voter does not go for this swamp sponsored glow-bull warming crap. He knows in the real world Trump is very popular, and with a honest vote would cream any dem opponent in 2020.

Is he so embedded in the swamp that he knows something is coming up whereby Trump will lose the 2020 election or worse yet, that something is being planned so Trump will not even be around? If such happened, maybe this person of the Moron faith thinks flapping his jaws now will give him a better position later.

There has got to be a logical reason for this clown to be acting so stupid. Speaking of stupid, I actually voted for this slime ball. While I am admitting to shameful events, I also voted for McShame.

If there’s such a thing as Stupid Autonomous meetings, maybe I should go to one as I voted for Bush twice.

Libya? Mitt may be a putz, but he isn't a Sodomite.

Since he is such a Bush League kind of guy, I just think a major source of illegal aliens might be more appropriate.

July4th, thanks for pointing to the Rat Romney's many homes.

Lake Winnepesaukee is a beautiful lake for summertime fun.  Most of the homes are humbly decorated to mirror the mood of the peaceful lake.  But the Rat likes to show off by building an awkward palace with all his donor money — the house the Koch Brothers built for their favorite designated loser.

The ostentatious home reminds me of the all those Gilded Temples the Mormans like to build.

Is Rat Romney Utah's King?

Romney, go to China, Indonesia and India. Those countries need to get their pollution under control not us!

Even if one accepts the whole climate change premise, the idea behind the carbon tax (according to the economist who won the Nobel prize for it) is so that the prices reflect the true environmental costs. In other words, raising the price of certain things and not how the tax money received is spent is where the environmental benefits are derived.

Maybe what the Republicans should do is propose a law stating that any carbon taxes, or the like, passed in the future should be revenue neutral. If you raise $100 billion taxing fossil fuels, you must cut a $100 billion in income taxes. That would still have the environmental benefit the democrats claim they are after but deprive them of their billions in added revenue. I'm willing to bet the Democrats wouldn't go along with it. Their true cause is about growing the government and not saving the planet. Mitts true cause is about ingratiating himself with the left.
