Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is stressing that the country’s politics has “moved away from the spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation.” And the 2012 GOP presidential nominee warns that the "rabid attacks kindle the conspiracy mongers and the haters" to launch "dangerous action” such as the recent kidnapping plot against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Romney liked it way better when there was a bipartisan pig trough of money to make money like his crooked father.
He’d have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those pesky conservatives who actually believe and do what they say.

If Romney hates life right now, why doesn't he just get out of Congress? He's a Nobody in Congress, a Nobody who is only there to cause trouble for Trump. He should just resign, now, and let someone fill that Seat who is actually a REAL Conservative Republican! Then he can retire and enjoy his many Homes, His Grandchildren and His Millions!

Mittens, the vile discourse has been created by your allies in the democrat party. President Trump is simply speaking the truth.
I suggest that you address this with your democrat swamp buddies.

Yes. Politics was so much more civil when it was a gentlemen’s game that cost the taxpayers their shirts and the whole country was hoodwinked into thinking politicians cared more about the country than their own wallets and their billionaire cronies. And maybe it still is in Massachusetts or Utah or...um.. where is exactly is Romney from?

It very may be all those things, but comity, manners and accommodation are not going to win the war we have been forced into. We have tried that and it has taught us one thing, how to lose gracefully. Democrats have used our good nature against us while they use any means legal or illegal to get their way. Their language is coarse and profane. Their methods are underhanded if not illegal and they will not give up. Romney is a fool if he thinks we can keep doing what we always have done. This President has shown us the winning way. We are not going to allow democrats to bully us. They no longer intimidate smart Republicans. We do not fear what they call us because their only goal is to stop us. We have truth and the best policies on our side. So, Pierre Delecto, take your advice, observations and sanctimony and leave the rest of us alone. While you would have us on our knees, this President has taught us to stand on our feet and never give in. You are exactly the kind of squishy Republican who got us into this mess. You cannot debate, argue or try to cajole a party focused on one thing, your destruction by any means possible. To do so, is suicide. Americans will stand with this President because he understands the existential threat we face. Go find a safe space and we’ll let you know when it’s safe to come out.

Three weeks before a presidential election, Romney publishes this, attacking our President and the leader of his own party. Again, political attacks timed to do maximum damage under the cover "principle".
Romney is an enemy inside our lines.

Mitt, "mudslinging" is as old as politics itself and no one was better at it than your Mass colleague "lyin' in the Senate" Ted Kennedy. What has changed is the media openly siding with one party and contributing to the mendacity.

Romneycare in Mass. still demands forfeiture of your tax refund if you do not sign up for Health insurance. Young adults just starting out in the workforce neither want or need Romneycare, but have to sacrifice their tax refunds for the State to squander. His policies as Governor or Mass. proved then and now, he was never a Conservative, or Republican, and should be relegated to the ash heap of political history.

Politics is, was and always will be a "vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass". It wasn't brewed in America. Politics divides the spoils, and the greedy want their fair share and more. So. let's stop whining and staying above the fray...and hand-wringing over things like morals and values disintegrating. Past time for getting into the arena...

As if you gave us a palatable alternative, Mittens. Would I prefer more reasoned and civil debate between Democrats and Republicans, with each side respectful of differing views, but each with its foundation a love of country and their fellow man? Of course! But that was never the alternative offered to us, although you did a good job for a time pretending it was. The reality, kept under the cover of silence and backroom deals, was the deep state that flourishes in both parties. Now that the scales are falling from the eyes of some of your fellow citizens, your rhetoric falls on deaf ears.

I guess, when determining who is mean and who isn't, Romney forgot that Biden called Trump a clown and a liar. I don't relish what is going these days, but we would have been better off if Romney had gotten tougher and more explicit with Obama.

Hey Mitt! What do you call all that scorched earth you created in 2012? Spare us. He came up with a fake persona to attack the President. Mitt's not clean. Not by a longshot.
Now we have St. Miit looking down the end of his nose and saying "Tsk Tsk". Nobody likes a hypocrite Mitt. Mitt has hidden his true self his entire political career. He cannot come clean now. The truth would show what an ugly dishonest person he is.
Get out of government, Mitt.

Pierre Delecto laments the "hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation.” Meanwhile, he overflows with hatred for our President. Clearly, Pierre is a textbook case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Ironically, if our President were to expedite a TDS vaccine, sufferers like Pierre would refuse to take it.

"Spirited debate" like the one that Mittens conducted against the lame-brained Kenyan golfer and forever proved what a lightweight he is? What he's saying is that he does not have what it takes in this world, something we figured out long before he did.

Apologies for a 2nd post. I commented above before I read the article carefully enough. I suppose I was sparing myself the pain of reading more of Romney's garbage. The irony of Mitt Romney decrying ugliness in politics is so grotesque that it requires insanity to believe it. In 2012, Mitt Romney ran the most vicious primary campaign I've ever seen. He fuelled his campaign with attacks on fellow Republicans, and his paid minions flooded this site with Romney opposition research.
So, something was missing: knowing Romney, as I do, I knew attacking Trump wasn't enough. He needed to do something to help Biden while appearing principled and non-partisan. So I went back and reread it and, sure enough, here it is:
FTA: "But Romney praised Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, saying the Democrats’ 'Presidential nominee refuses to stoop as low as others.'”
Romney's lies always have a purpose. He is back in politics to destroy President Trump. Criticizing Pelosi doesn't damage Trump. Praising Joe Biden does. Mitt Romney is doing everything he can to throw this election against Trump.
I have never questioned Romney's integrity because he doesn't have any. Now I'm starting to question his sanity.

#33, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

What a self-absorbed self-righteous hypocrite.
Constantly stabbing the President in the back, being the go-to 'Republican' for every DemoMedia attack on Trump.
Not to mention being the week-kneed fuzzbrain that let an unknown community organizer beat him in the presidential contest, giving us years of lawlessness at the federal level.
The Constitution is about to be abandoned forever, and all you can say is play nice?
This is our country that our fathers fought and died for, and all Romney is concerned about is staging a PC parade.
He is not a serious man, he does not love our country, he will not stand up for it. The best thing he could do for all of us is shut his yap for the next thirty years

#3 nails it! Romney like Nasty Nancy grew up in a political family. They watched our "betters" of both parties grease each others palms while mouthing loudly about their differences. Each had an assigned place at the trough and as long as you were a member of the club and didn't make waves, enriching yourself was met with a wink and a nod.
Trump is not only not a member, he doesn't want to join. How dare him !!

That's why you lost, Mitt!! You let them lie about your taxes (which Harry Reid laughingly admitted he knew was a lie right after the election), call your alarms about Russia "80s Cold War rhetoric", sneak into one of your private invitation fundraisers and secretly record your 47% comments out of context (and it was freakin Jimmy Carter's grandson!), and misrepresent your business habit of keeping individual binders on employees!
Democrats have been doing this for DECADES! Finally, a GOP President or nominee is fighting fire with fire. This self-annointing yourself as the new McCain of the Senate needs to stop! Do you need the attention of the media that badly?
