So Romney votes to convict. On its face, this is not that much.. but he has now gone down in history as being the first Senator to vote to impeach a president of their own party.

That's something we should think about from a few different angles.

He probably did it just to say he was the first. That's the type of stuff people like him do.

i rarely think anything about romney

Seems I should have had more respect for Mittens...

The party that mocked “binders of women” now loves them some Mittens.......

Yet he’s same as he ever was.

yea...but he tied his puppy dog to the roof of his moving car...and said 47% of Americans have their hands out, and would never vote for him...

both statements reveal a lot about his character...but at least he's got a spine, even though I believe there is something personal with Trump about his vote...that enmity goes back to when Trump said he was running and Romney was a never Trumper...

too bad he decided not to run in 2016...he coulda beat Hillary and we'd be in an alternate reality

Weird to think that just 8 years ago, he was THE Republican presidential nominee

and less than three years ago when Trump made him crawl to the Trump Tower hoping for an appointment, only to be publicly humiliated while thrown out the door

He is a Democrat. I do not believe there are any laws that say you have to run as the party you actually belong to. The only people caught off guard by his vote are people who think he is a Republican. There is a reason he was disinvited from CPAC.

Acquitted...

.... when the prior presidential contender for the Republicans is being called a Dem by people who wholeheartedly support a Republican president who previously tried to run as a Democrat, you have to wonder who's actually a Republican.

hey, look who's back...Tittums!!!

new Tittums...same as the old Tittums...

Vicki is a socialist from China

unmmm no...I know Chinese.........we've met and he is def not Chinese...

Iranian?

further north...very remotely possible he's a Ukrainian expat...maybe a Belgerm...

Lmao!

Did we watch a different state of the union last night? When was the last time you saw a Republican trying to outlaw free speech, guns, and was hell yeah to abortions at any term?

Last I checked Trump is for the First and Second amendments as well as condemning abortion at any stage.

But you go ahead and whine about Trump being acquitted (its forever, like impeachment I hear).

With that said. I will speak to the meat of your comment. I voted for the baseball accessory both under protest and extreme duress. I cannot honestly say if I hated Mitt before 2008 but my hatred for him was solidified back then. I jokingly told my parents we would be better off voting for Obama since he at least isn't trying to pretend he doesn't belong to a different party than he is running under.

Don't get me wrong, the Obama candidacy and the following 8 years of his presidency was a terror I lived that I can only imagine is the same terror democrats are now living under Trump. You reap what you sew. Donald Hu Ackbar. I guess I am a terrorist now.

you seem like a very down-to-earth likable guy, Ray...to host as many well-attended herfs, promote the Noob Trade Thread for years, and revel in the Thonginator legend for as long as you have, speaks volumes of your character...you are a cornerstone of this community...

we disagree on politics, in general, but I think we'd be friends if we met, like MACS, Abrignac, Opel and Drafter...we met and found we actually had a lot in common, despite the con/lib labels and viewpoints...so it went with victor, also a CBid contributor for a long time...you might like him if you met in person...
