It is said that an unreliable ally is worse than a sworn enemy. This is because you expect the enemy to act against you. But when an ally either chooses to be a bystander when you are attacked or sides with your assailant to attack you, the treachery is both shocking and unforgivable.
One such consistently untrustworthy and unreliable ‘ally’ who has been a been a disappointment is Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah.
His latest betrayal came during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on Tuesday.
Romney was the sole HELP Committee Republican to vote against lifting the mask and vaccine mandates in the federal Head Start program.

Perhaps one of our long term, principled and courageous Romney supporters can remind us what a great human being this guy is, and how his unique leadership is so necessary.
The real Pulitzer goes to whoever digs into Romney, bain and Ukraine. Romney and Burisma. Or Romney Bain and Chinese holding companies.

For Romney to have called Tulsi Gabbard treasonous shows that the man has no business in any leadership role. It is difficult to call Romney a traitor because there are so many in the GOP that are exactly like him, and everyone knows that he is a bitter Democrat masquerading as a carpetbagging Republican.

You know that a Republican is a traitor and a loser when Democrats praise him/her while they're still alive.

We the people have very few allies in the Washington cesspool. That's why we need President Trump and a slew of real conservatives in Congress to start draining the swamp. The swamp will not go down easily. It is a generational fight.

#5, there is no such thing as a real conservative in Congress. As soon as any elected representative is seated they throw out all promises and principles and immediately shift into high gear to get as rich as possible while they can. Truly, money is the root of all evil.

Sorry #6 but I believe the quote is The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

He'll never be embarrassed as badly as he has embarrassed himself.

Romney is playing his designated part...former GOP presidential nominee, savior of the Olympics, and all-around nice guy. He was ENDORSED by PDT, you may recall. And his role in the UNIPARTY political play it to be that independent, moderate, principled Republican who saw through the Trump fog and courageously called him out, refusing to knuckle under to the Trumpistas.
Who complains about Romney? Only "real conservatives". He is certainly supported by those various "moderate" Republicans. And here's the sad fact: The GOP needs them to win elections. The hatred of Trump is much like the residual intra-party hatred for Goldwater Republicans in '64. And one of those leaders was another fellow named Romney...

That Romney has never been a reliable Republican isn't news. I would consider Romney somewhere between an old style democrap from the 50's or 60's, and someone who back during the red scare in the 50's would be seen as a communist.

It helps to keep in mind what Our Man Dan Bongino said:
"In Congress, most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans."

Romney is a consistent POS with no redeeming qualities. None. He is one of the poster boys for getting rid of the GOP.

Romney is a prime example of the greasy, oily and slimy personality that all the kids beat up in Jr. and Sr. high school. Unless he pays them, nobody is willing to hang around much with Romney. It is not just Biden/Obama and their corruption that needs an archeology team of diggers, but Romney and his tenure at Bain Capital. I read a bit about that a few years ago.
The big name retailers who filed for bankruptcy over the years? Good chance those were meddled with by Romney and his managers at Bain for the purpose of making them pots of money. There as I recall was about a list of around 200 recognizable name brand companies that Bain messed with during Romney's time. Didn't matter then, doesn't matter now that people lost their businesses, jobs and probably pensions. Romney and company made theirs so that is that.

Mittens is so actively ingratiating himself to the Democrats, I believe he is positioning himself to be a "compromise, bipartisan" pick if both Sleepy Joe and Kamala are forced from office. That is the only goal that makes sense of his recent actions.

The first paragraph is a perfect description of Romney, but it also applies to a number of others: Graham, Collins, Cassidy, Murkowski, Cheney, Kinzinger and quite a few others.

Is Delecto the most annoying Senator, or what?
Thanks so much, again, voters of Utah. I suppose you're happy that your co-religionist is a Senator. I, for one, am not.
