Failed GOP presidential nominee and newly minted Utah senator Mitt Romney couldn\u2019t even wait until he was sworn into office before he submitted his anti-Trump\u00a0editorial<\/a>\u00a0to the vehemently anti-Trump\u00a0Washington Post.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite his public image as a wholesome and honest man, an image that he has labored indefatigably to craft, Romney is, in truth, the embodiment of all that is wrong and bad with the Republican Party and, by extension, the conservative movement.<\/p>\n

In other words, for as reprehensible as so-called \u201cRINOs\u201d undoubtedly are, few are as contemptible as is Romney.<\/p>\n

Romney, in glaring contrast, though always self-identifying as a Republican, has oscillated on key issues from one position to the next, depending on what he thought would serve his political interests.<\/p>\n

Abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Romney ran for the presidency in 2008 and 2012, he exhausted himself assuring the GOP base that he was an opponent of abortion. Yet for most of his career, not only has Romney been a\u00a0proponent\u00a0<\/em>of \u201cwomen\u2019s choice;\u201d he regularly sought to frustrate the efforts of those who recognized abortion for the evil that it is.<\/p>\n
