‘I don’t think everybody likes me’: Rmoney runs for President, whines when his feelings get hurt.

Rmoney runs for President, whines when his feelings get hurt.

Romney admits Democratic attacks are hurting him with voters: ‘I don’t think everybody likes me’


....................................

"We won't be talking about my life," Romney tells USA Today. "We'll be talking about policy."

It's a notable choice even as Romney bluntly acknowledges in both the USA Today interview and in a separate interview with Politico that some voters just don't like him. He accuses President Barack Obama and his allies of "personal vilification and demonization"—and admits their attacks have been effective.

"There are plenty of weaknesses that I have, and I acknowledge that," Romney tells USA Today. "But the attacks that have come have been so misguided, have been so far off target, have been so dishonest, that they surprised me. I thought they might go after me on things that were accurate that I've done wrong, instead of absurd things."

Little Mormon boys are taught that if they obey their church elders they will become Gods of other worlds. Throughout their lives they are deferred to, lionized, obeyed, and worshiped. Mormon women are taught to always treat priesthood holding males as superior in every way.

Willard's entire life has been filled with Mormons who will not and cannot criticize him, so yeah, he may be having a little problem adjusting to the real world.

Most Mormons do.

I hope the Obama campaign keeps up the "personal vilification and demonization",.
... even Willard admits "their attacks have been effective."

You're a cardboard cutout with your mouth permanently attached to Karl Rove's butt. You don't stand for anything, you don't have a moral core, and you'll do anything for money. In other words, you're a cheap whore.
