...had his administration been involved in such egregious acts, he could be defined as a lying two-faced SOB who's in a neck and neck race with Nixon for all-time President Slimebucket status...
One of the most interesting quotes I've ever heard was "To call Richard Nixon's administration the most corrupt since Willard Filmore does one hell of a disservice to Willard Filmore."
Ya gotta wonder what kind of slimeball Willard Filmore was to be worse than Tricky Dick.....:idea:
As for Romney...with all due respect, he did fail to make a connection with the average American on SO MANY fronts...his refusal to divulge his income in the manner with which so many presidential candidates had done so willingly just widened that gap between doubt and trust. If you believe that BO is much worse during his second term than he was during his first (and you would not get any argument from me about that), it's just natural...when you're in your first term, you want to make sure you're elected to a second...but when you're a "lame duck" what do you have to lose, you just go balls to the wall to get your way. BO's not the only one to do so, by far, it's common practice in both parties. Now....amplify that by the exponential manner in which Romney demonstrated his disdain for what the American public wanted and you can see why I believe his first administration would have been bad and his second....?????....unbelievable comes to mind.
Would he have eclipsed Nixon? Hard to imagine even Romney could have as much disdain for the general public as did Nixon....but, and again this is just IMHO....I think he'd have given Nixon a run for his money.
Now, having said all that, I must admit I kinda liked Bob Dole for his "Nixonesque" personna....ya gotta sorta like someone who is SO convinced that he's right that he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. There might not be much difference between BO and Romney in that respect...but I doubt we'll ever know, Romney's wife won't let him run again :stunned: .
Cheers!
