I simply cannot tolerate Romney any longer, and I'm glad he's gone. I say this even though I voted for him for MA governor in 2002 and my son was in his son's high school class (dear old Mother-In-Law, a con to the end, has a photo of her next to him at the graduation, but she didn't know who he was at the time). Also, Mormonism is not the reason, as nutty as it all seems to me.

• He says, "And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror." What a bunch of BS. I simply cannot respect such a distored statementl, even though he's making it to a hard-right crowd.
• He spent his years as governor campaigning for the next job,and he said insulting things about Massachusetts, my state and his state, while trying to butter up repubs in other states, such as SC. Now, think of the ironies. MA voted for him for governor and in the Tuesday primary, but SC rejected him. Just deserts.
• His speech about religion does not hold up under the harsh light of reason. Religion is not necessary and sufficient for freedoom, for example. History and current reality just do not support such a statement, as good as it may sound. He has a lot of explaining to do about that.
• He said we should double Guantanomo. Why? It's at about half capacity now anyhow. Who does he want to put there (me, perhaps?)? How long does he want to hold them there? What does he expect to achieve? Why just double it; why not triple it? Or, perhaps, is he just trash talking?
• He's a smart guy; why does he try to hide it? Why didn't he tell us how he would apply his formidable skills to fixing our problems creatively and even think outside the box a little? I could respect that.

I could go on, but I just can't respect the guy. Go enjoy your many millions, Mitt; just stay out of the public sphere and out of my face. Don't even think of running for the Senate again (unless it's in Utah); you'll be killed.
