Yes. My father used to curse that people deserve the kind of politicians they vote for. Utah gets Romney. So they must deserve him. So be it. But the problem is that his big idiot mouth and his voting in the US senate curses the all the rest of Americans, too.

I wonder if Romney was the beneficiary of some crooked Dominion ballot counting. Hence, all his protesting DJT at every turn.

2 Corinthians 11:18-20

18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast. 
19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise. 
20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you 
   or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.

Speaking of cursing...

You have hit on an issue close to my heart. You can count on the fingers of one hand the candidates for public office who are aware of and use the idea of their Statewide or Nationwide impact on all things political in their campaign.

The idea that as an elected official I am only required to listen to those voters in my district is a fallacy that deserves attention. As an elected official you are voting on issues that have far reaching impact either statewide or nationwide depending on the office. In my opinion, that fact should filter down to the office holder as a campaign issue, and to the voters as well.

To some it might be a small point, and the impact is really not quantifiable, but the principle is a valid one. The office holder is still going to vote his or her mind on the issue which is why they were hired in the first place.

All that brings us full circle back to the cursing of just desserts.
