In Mitt Romney's defence, if I had to choose between four more years of Joe Biden and Donald Trump potentially forming the Fourth Reich, I'd choose Sleepy Joe any day of the week.
I don't like Biden but he needs our energy. The opposition is so much worse.
Almost like Romney is one of the few Republicans with some actual fucking integrity.
It's kind of funny how McCain and Romney were/are the voice of reason in the GOP. We didn't know how good we had it. Or rather how much worse it could get.
McCain was usually pretty classy. I disagreed with him on many, many issues, but always respected him.
This is some classy shit. Man was willing to be booed at his own rallies to defend decency.
I think he also would have been a good President overall - much better than any Republican in my lifetime. 2008 was my favorite election ever because both parties put their best candidate forward and they ran a campaign centered on respect (Palin's antics notwithstanding).
Sure, he was all class, all of the time! What a funny guy, not at all an absolute psycho who shouldn't have been anywhere close to power.
He was a war mongering cunt, and he can rest in piss.
Obama went nuts with drone assassinations. FDR set up detention camps for American citizens. Washington owned slaves. Churchill helped set up a Zionist state leading to much of our current woes. Bernie supported the NRA until he ran for President. Clinton signed DADT.
They all did way worse things than sing a stupid song to make the crowd chuckle.
