I don’t see the comparison.
I can tell you why Romney is lousy at politics, he is a pathological liar, with no center, no real identity, and it shows, people don’t trust him, and so they don’t like him, and they don’t believe him.
People don’t know why Romney wants to be a president or in politics, because they don’t see anything in him that indicates that he has any real interest in anything outside of his own isolated life.
Putting myself in a politician’s shoes for just a second, (probably all I can tolerate) Romney received the nomination from the rank and file GOP largely because he was a Governor and a republican, but his governing of a very, very liberal northeastern state created numerous conflicts with positions taken in the past, as he tried politically to relate with a much more conservative political base nationally.
The libs had one heck of a party providing ammo to be used against Romney and it destroyed his election due to turnout as well as third party protest votes.
It is what it is....and it does us no good to re-plow that ground.. Romney will not likely get in the ring again, and I actually believe he is trying to use what network he has to raise money for the GOP and other candidates, just as Sarah Palin has.
The only reason I decided to post on what will become another useless bashing exercise was to try to intelligently state in a rational way that I would not be supporting any effort to put him up again. We have already seen that movie.
I have never called Romney a liar. He is a politician! That would be a doubly redundant....:-)
However, I still have reluctance to run a congressman or senator. But for this next election, I will set aside that issue and others to elect a conservative, with the fire of leadership in his/her belly.
