First … is Josh Romney frothy mouthed enough to run against Jim Matheson? I mean, considering the textbook of mental illness that usually gets nominated to run against Jim, Josh Romney seems a little tame and girly.
I mean, after his daddy ended up a quitter who bilked millions from the people of Utah (think of Mitt as the political equivalent of an out of town MLM). Now in a Deseret Morning Republican Party Newsletter article, Joe Cannon and the gang desperately try to invent a picture of another homo-erotic (closeted, of course) political super crush to spend their public bathroom alone time with.
“I haven’t ruled it out,” Josh Romney, 32, of Millcreek, said of becoming a candidate himself. “I’m pretty young, but I’ve had good experience on the campaign trail.” Plus, he said, he likely could count on his father’s supporters here in Utah.
TRANSLATION: They haven’t sweetened the deal enough yet. “Can you guys promise to keep James Evans away from me? No? I need time to think.”
Wow. Those Romney’s are a smart bunch. A year on the campaign trail and access to a boat load of trust fund money really help underline the competency needed to hold public office.What a douche.
During his father’s campaign, Josh Romney drove a motor home to each of Iowa’s 99 counties and represented his father in a number of other, mostly Western states, including Wyoming, Alaska and Colorado.
You know, maybe that’s what Matheson lacks. 99 counties worth of RV driving in a state with no curvy roads. Yeah, that’s it.
The efforts of Josh Romney and his four brothers, though, weren’t enough to keep his father in the race. Mitt Romney recently ended his bid for the White House after a poor Super Tuesday showing overall on Feb. 5 and endorsed McCain.
The worst part is, Josh Romney would be the absolute worst of stack of boneheads they’ve thrown against Jim, and yet he’s got the best chance to win. This empty-headed, stuffed shirt will be a puppet for all the extreme elements of the Utah GOP, and, ultimately, I believe he will make Chris Cannon sound like Hawkings.
All this trust-funded chucklehead will have to do is smile and say: “My dad is Mitt Romney” and Mormons across the state will spontaneously ejaculate and start throwing money at him.
I hate legacy politicians.
*Mitt, btw, is still too chicken to fight me.
Good news for L.R. Roche and the D-News though. Now they have something to write about still.
I think I’d go involve myself in the Matheson campaign if this happened (despite his Blue Dog membership). Republican or Democrat, electing one of these diptards because of their last name would be bad for the state.
What’s his experience, “I worked on my Daddy’s campaign for 9 months?” Super. Give him a job!
While I agree with most of what you said, I think you have left yourself open to charges of hypocrisy by saying you hate legacy politicians while you endorse Matheson. He’s a bit of a legacy politician, too. However, given that I know you Jeff, that may have been a back-handed compliment to Matheson.
I don’t like Jim Matheson. He’s a giant tool and the single most damaging impact to growth for Utah Democrats.
Matheson has NO convictions aside from getting reelected.
Hell, the 4 other GOP members of the Utah federal delegation, no matter how bigoted, ignorant or stupid still have convictions (granted, they all seem to stem from greed).
Jim exists to get reelected.
What is the point and purpose of public service as a Democrat if you’re too afraid to fight for the right things?
All that said, Josh Romney would be a lot worse. Matheson is at least intelligent enough to strategically sell his soul for office, Josh Romney would be a puppet of epic proportion because he’s just so damn dumb and they’ll play him for everything they want a politician to do for them.
It could be something genetic, just in their genes to run for office and lose. Maybe he should try mayor or city council first before he goes for the big prize of taking on Matheson.
