Who in the hell would give him the time of day?
And yet Romney, ends up on the right side of history.

I would venture to say that at least 25% of all votes were strict party votes with no thought of guilt or innocence .
I tend to agree with most of what you have shared, however after the unfair sham job the House conducted turn about is fair play.Quote:

There are no rules but what the “jury” elects to follow with zero evidentiary constraints on what the two sides chose to blurt out, or restraints by the presiding officer, save for a threat of admonishment. In short, the whole thing is what Texans would call a political goat rope.
The restraint shown by you to my stance is admirable - and I mean that sincerely. For, I pay attention to what you have to say.Quote:

It does not come from anger, it comes from applying his LDS beliefs. Mr. Romney responded as an LDS Priesthood Elder.

I listened to the entire speech last night and I found myself in almost complete agreement to Senator Romney's impassioned address to the Senate. I also gained far more respect for him in showing the courage to vote this way, in full awareness of the repercussions.
A comment on what Hunter said---for anyone who has a deep and abiding faith, and guides their life by those principles, no matter what they maybe, there is no separating their very being from their faith---and all of it's tenants.
I do not know how I would have voted. Yes, without a reasonable doubt, I believe trump did what he was accused of. What I am not sure of is the answer to the basic question, did those actions rise to the level of impeachable offenses. I am not equipped to answer that within the context of the Constitutional meaning. I am glad I did not have to face what Senator Romney faced---with real courage and conviction.
Channeling his inner McCain.

That is a really good way of looking at it.
