Mitt Romney Is a Hollow Man

Mitt Romney Is a Hollow Man

By Jennifer Granholm | HuffPost | 04/10/2012 1:44 am

“I have a problem with Mitt Romney. And it's big problem - one that extends beyond our ideological differences. Here's what fundamentally disturbs me about Romney's character:

It's not even that he's misstated facts, if they were just truly misstatements. Part of what really bugs me is that he's carefully scripted and controlled, and still he has outright pants-on-fire lied more than any recent serious presidential contender, by a significant factor.

Added to the serial lying is not just that he's flip-flopped; everyone knows that. It's that he has flip-flopped on core issues like being pro-choice or pro-life deep, fundamental values issues, all for the purpose of getting elected, nothing more.
What emerges from this composite picture of lying and flip-flopping and position-contortion is a man who has no core.

A hollow man.

A man without deep, longstanding conviction.

A calculating man who will lie, who will change positions as he changes his venue, who will say anything, do anything, who is ruthless about winning in a way that makes him seem empty inside.

So the real question is: What does this man stand for? Why does he even want to be president? Where is his true vision, his core? Does he even have one?

Where do you fit into his picture of success?

My big concern is that Mitt Romney wants to become president for no other reason than because there's a possibility he can win. And you're not in that vision, I'm afraid.”

Former Governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, is asking the same questions everybody else is asking concerning mystery man Mitt Romney, who is running for president under the umbrella of a conservative, has the vocal agenda of a conservative memorized, but is failing to put it across to the people while he flip flops across each debate he enters. His secret superPac attack ads have whittled down his opponents to two, leaving the nomination to the wealthiest candidate in the group.

Does Mitt Romney even want us to know him better, or is he content to talk about his palatial mansions, cadillacs, horses, or anything BUT politics while his superPac attack ads takes care of the people he disagrees with. I am convinced that he is a very stupid, self-engrossed man who has no inkling of what an average person is thinking, and doesn’t want to know. He is wrapped up in his own little world, thinks that is ok for a presidential candidate, and would work only for the wealthy businessmen, the only people he understands.

The one admirable thing Romney did in political life was institute a successful healthcare plan for Massachusetts, from which the ObamaCare Plan was copied almost verbatim, a plan that he now is forced to be openly against, using some strange reasoning. I cannot imagine any man of integrity refusing to take full credit for his own accomplishment because of some crazy political agenda. But that is Romney, the cagey, corporate raider wth a heart and mind of aluminum.

As the campaign for the presidency goes into full gear, we will gradually see the unraveling of the true Mitt Romney, the man that might just be running for the presidency of the United States because he has the money to do it.

 

You mean like "I am not trying to redistribute the wealth"? LOL

Maybe if he could get a pass like Obama in the media. Naw, never happen.

 

If this is true then he is just like no commit Barrack

 

Hollow sounds pretty darn good after 3-1/2 yrs with full of (*)(*)(*)(*).

 

Lets investigate who Jennifer Granholm is....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Wow. I guess the author of the article has blinders on when it comes to Obama. I think there is a huge difference in what Romney did iin Massachusetts and what Obama did to us nationally. Romney's healthcare plan was for a state; not the nation. It was also not designed to put private insurers out of business. It was also not designed to force companies to stop providing the health insurance benefits that they now provide and MOST citizens are happy with. I also don't believe it was a 3000 page monster that he told his citizens to just wait until after it passes to find out what's in it.

SMW: We all bow to your superior knowledge of the aforemenioned (*)(*)(*)(*)....

 

At least I'm not pretending to be POTUS though, right??

You and HuffPo have got your work cut out for you... gonna be hard to come up with something 'shocking' about Romney. Cheer up, though... maybe you'll luck out and find a Mormon version of Rev Wright lurking someplace!!!

 

Romney I believe is a very good man, sincere and loving. Intelligent and very able to succeed at that which he wants to succeed.

 

This is a "liberal" argument that doesn't hold water.

The Massachusetts health care plan was a State plan and the States have the delegated role to provide for the welfare of the citizens of the State contained within their State Constitutions. Everything from education to law enforcement to roads and other roles and responsibilities are all expressly enumerated in State Constitutions.

The US Constitution doesn't have a single statement in it related to providing for the welfare of the People. Article I Section 8 specifically states that the Congress has the power to provide for the "general Welfare of the United States" and in the US Constitution it is explicit in differentiating between the "States" and the "People" as each has a completely different Constitutional meaning.

If President Obama wanted to "copy" the Massachusetts health care plan then he should have been arguing for the other 49 States to adopt the Massachusetts plan instead of creating a federal health care plan. The differences are so great that the two cannot be compared to each other.

 

Above is a Romney sheep. Sheep in general are selected for their obedient natures towards their herdsmen. They tend to bolt in any direction the wind blows. The Romney sheep as can be seen is susceptible to wool blindness. Or perhaps in Mitt's case, he can pull the wool over other people's eyes.

 

JP5: u sed: "I think..."I guess"..."Romney's healthcare plan was for a state, not a nation"..."I also don't believe"....
.....
WOW: As a moderator, you are taking unfair advantage of your unpaid position on this forum by telling uninterested people what YOU think. Hint: we don't care what you think. Further: You posed a very lame reason for Romney passing his healthcare plan but being against Obama's copy of his healthcare plan..."Romney's healthcare plan was for a state; not the nation." What you are really saying is that the plan was good when it had a republican auther...when it's Democrat, it is no good...blech...

 

Mitt did in fact say that the Healcare plan should be a model for the Nation and in no way shape or form did he say it was just for the state
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/71344_Page2.html

He is saying what ever he can to get elected. How do you see through those big blinders

 

Shive_TD: Sorry but your "conservative" argument cannot stand as it is another lame argument trying to explain why a republican candidate can be against his own copy of a successful health-
care care plan because it was copied by a Democrat.

Romney's healthcare plan is good for the state and is BETTER for the nation, as it gives many more people the chance to have insurance that would be unable to buy insurance at all under the current price of insurance, and rules pertaining to it.

Why would any politican be against anything that has been proven beneficial to American's health? This is one instance when political affiliation should never enter into it.

Constitutionally, Congress passed the healthcare bill under their right to proceed in the general welfare of the United States...good health is fundamental to the welfare of the United States. ie:we don't need unhealthy soldiers fighting our wars. The USSC ruled that "corporations are people" thus following that entity agenda, the United States are virtual people. And that is why the USSC will need to deem it constitutional. But hey, thanks for a current conservative slant on what the Constitution really is...which is...anything that suits your particular political party's purposes.

 

Yesterday the Breaking news out of Huffing paint was Romney was talking about horses with Hannity before an interview... HOW DARE HE!

 

1. Where are the mods? Most of the responses on this thread are way off topic.

2. If you think Romney is stupid then you are very mistaken. Dishonest? Yes. Devoid of ethics and core values? Yes. Completely untrustworthy? Yes. but stupid? No.

 

yay... romney...woo hooo...

 

Like a bad Japanese movie. The Hollow Man vs The Empty Suit.

 

Mitt "had a good day today"...

That was his first thought after hearing about Santorum dropping out. Not a mention of thoughts for his family in his trying time, but all about him.

Dude leaves the race because of a sick daughter, and that's a "good day"?!?!?!? WTF! Mitt is a doorknob.

 

Get real. There is always an excuse. You don't think Rick wanted to win?

 

GOP junked all good candidates e.g. Palin, Cain, Santorum, Bachman, Paul and want to nominate Romney, Mr. Yadda Yadda. Today is the First Time I doubt that Obama will lost.

 

So Rick's 3 year old daughter is not sick? Even if the sick daughter is a political stunt allowing Rick to exit the race "gracefully", as his competitor you need to acknowledge it, and show a little compassion.

Mitt Romeny is a cyborg... no wait cyborgs are part human, Mitt Romney is a robot.

 

You know cyborgs have a brain ..Right ?

He showed the Santorums considerable compassion not attacking Rick during the time she was in the hospital.HE EVEN SAID THAT was the reason..as cyborgs often do.

Without the ultimate MORMON HATER backing Santorum..he would have been finished BEFORE IOWA. Less than 5% voter approval for a reason..EVERYONE WAS BETTER THAN RICK.
The Evangelicals tried to force a corrupt loser down on Republicans because their religious bigotry cannot tolerate difference...they cannot let the Mormon religion gain a Superior position by having a successful PRESIDENT lead the nation to recovery..they see their Religion LOSING ?
I wonder why ?

 

LOL! I knew her name sounded familiar....thanks BVWC, that was quick!
