Chip Off Old Block Mitt Romney Remembers ‘Humorous’ Time His Dad Shut Down a Plant

Yeah he's callous, but with those lily white hands, nary a callous found to get the job done.

Hand jobs, blowjobs, cunnilingus: all depends on the attitude of the deliverer. If it is, in fact, treated like a "job" it will come off as insincere and ultimately unfulfilling. On the other hand (pun intended) a hand job lovingly administered by an energetic and adventurous lass can be a marvelous and memorable experience.

Much like the trans people with Ann Coulter, the Aspies are angry that you dare compare them to the Romneybot.

Mittens isn't an Aspie, Mittens is an Asshole. More specifically a rich entitled asshole who apparently wants to be president 'cause dear old dad couldn't and he wants one more entry for the resume. Aspies are more self aware than Mitt is, hell there are some fish that are more self aware than Mittens.

Nope, not even close, the Pacer came out years after Romney was CEO of
American Motors. George Romney was behind the development of the AMC
Rambler however, which was almost as durable as the Dodge Dart.

When you look at the record Mittens is a real dick compared to his father, who was actually a stand-up guy. From the
Wikipedia article on George Romney

A believer in "competitive cooperative consumerism", Romney was effective in his frequent appearances before Congress. He discussed what he saw as the twin evils
of “big labor” and “big business”, and called on Congress to break up the Big
Three.

As the Big Three automakers introduced ever-larger models, AMC undertook a
"gas-guzzling dinosaur fighter" strategy, and Romney became the company spokesperson in print advertisements, public appearances, and commercials on the Disneyland television program. Known for his fast-paced, shirt-sleeved management style that ignored organization charts and levels of responsibility, he often wrote the ad copy himself.

Romney became what automotive writer Joe Sherman termed "a folk
hero of the American auto industry" and one of the first high-profile media-savvy business executives. His focus on small cars as a challenge to AMC's domestic
competitors, as well as the foreign-car invasion, was documented in the April 6,
1959, cover story of Time magazine, which concluded that "Romney has brought off singlehanded one of the most remarkable selling jobs in U.S. industry." A full
biography of him was published in 1960; the company's resurgence made Romney a household name. The company's stock rose from $7 per share to $90 per share, making Romney a millionaire from stock options. However, whenever he felt his salary and bonus was excessively high for a year, he gave the excess back to the company.
After initial wariness, he developed a good relationship with United Automobile
Workers leader Walter Reuther, and AMC workers also benefited from a then-novel profit-sharing plan. Romney was one of only a few Michigan corporate chiefs to support passage and implementation of the state Fair Employment Practices Act.

Of course later on George Romney went into politics and here's where you can
see his influence on Mittens. Again, from the fine Wikipedia article.

Life magazine wrote that Romney "manages to turn self-expression into a positive ordeal" and that he was no different in private: "nobody can sound more like the public George Romney than the real George Romney let loose to ramble, inevitably away from the point and toward some distant moral precept."

So, like his son he was was gaffe-prone, and, like his son he was a flip-flopper, again from Wikipedia.

On August 31, 1967, in a taped interview with talk show host Lou Gordon of WKBD-TV in Detroit, Romney stated: "When I came back from Viet Nam [in November 1965], I'd just had the greatest brainwashing that anybody can get." He then shifted to
opposing the war: "I no longer believe that it was necessary for us to get involved in South Vietnam to stop Communist aggression in Southeast Asia." Decrying the "tragic" conflict, he urged "a sound peace in South Vietnam at an early time."
Thus Romney disavowed the war and reversed himself from his earlier stated belief that the war was "morally right and necessary"

So, to summarize, Mitt's dad was a CEO but he actually earned his money, produced useful products and, compared to his competition at the Big Three, was a visionary.
He was also gaffe-prone and a flip-flopper, oh, and the wingnuts of the time
raised questions about his eligibility to be president because he'd been born in Mexico, and were desperate to vote for someone even wing-nuttier, which they did, namely Richard M. Nixon.

I was reading some comments about how the dog story shouldn't define Mitt. What about his saying that the crate was airtight? The dog would have suffocated. He must think we are all idiots and he can just make this crap up.

Stick with the classics…

And got the victim to apologize. lol That was pretty amazing. Those were the days, the completely terrifying, oh-my-god-no-one-is-running-anything-anymore days.
