Mitt Romney Nicknames
Paul Ryan Nicknames
These are the best Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan nicknames that I have been able to
find on the Internet, plus a few that I came up with myself.

Mitt Malarkey
Vice President Joe Biden found the perfect Irish term
to describe the fountain of hysterical nonsense that constantly bubbles up from
the overheated core of Myth Romney, like a political Old Unfaithful: "malarkey."
Now Mitt Malarkey is just one of many colorful nicknames ascribed to Mitt
Romney. Some of my personal favorites include Darth eVader, Decepticon, Mittler,
Pander Bear, the Romneybot and Romney Hood. But if you have the time for a few
chuckles (or grimaces), you can find well over a hundred nicknames here. It's
interesting to hear what people called Willard Mitt Romney before he became
famous. In prep school he was Fancy Cheesebags and Mr. Roboto. At Bain Capital,
he was More Money. As Massachusetts governor he was
Robmoney. As soon as he started spouting nonsense in Great Britain, where fools
are not suffered lightly, he was dismissed as Mitt the Twit and Nowhere Man by
the British tabloids.
Bishop Romney
As Hurricane Sandy threatened 50 million American with devastating floods, I was
reminded of Mitt Romney's statement that it is "immoral" to borrow money to help
flood victims. Romney, a former Mormon Bishop and therefore someone who should
presumably understand the term, didn't call it "immoral" for the federal
government to borrow billions to bail out the Olympic games, or his rich Wall
Street cronies. He obviously doesn't consider it "immoral" to borrow the better
part of $7 trillion dollars to rescue the super-rich and increase defense
spending for things the Pentagon hasn't even requested. According to Bishop
Romney, it seems the only people it's "immoral" to
help are the 47% of Americans who need help the most, including flood victims,
distressed auto workers, homeless vets, and poor women who need Planned Parenthood’s
help with contraceptives, family planning and preventive healthcare.
Mr. Roboto
If a robot, android or space alien was running for president, just think of some
of the strange things it might say in its attempts to connect with real human
beings ... but the quotes on this page are all things actually said by Willard
Mitt Romney, a man even stranger than his name and nicknames.

The Pander Bear speaks
I love this state. The trees are the right height. The streets are just right.
I had catfish for the second time. It was delicious, just like the first time.
I am learning to say y'all and I like grits,
and ... strange things are happening to me.
Morning, ya'll. I got started this morning
right with a biscuit and some cheesy grits. (No one calls them "cheesy"
grits.)
I was going to suggest to you that you serve
your eggs with hollandaise sauce and hubcaps. Because there's no plates like
chrome for the hollandaise.
These pancakes are about as large as my win
in Puerto Rico last night, I must admit. The margin is just about as good.
Look at us in here ! We are all nice
together, all nice and wet, you know, like a can of sardines. ("Nice"?)
That's a big lava lamp, congratulations!
Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild
frontier!
I'm an unofficial southerner.
Please give us a big hug, that's the girls.
I've been getting hugs from the Southern girls ... from 12, to well, a lot more
than 12.
I never imagined I'd be up here like Larry
the Cable guy!
I love the hymns of America, by the way.
The Romneybot expresses empathy for other soulless entities
Corporations are people, my friend ... of course they are ... human beings, my
friend.
Banks aren't bad people. They're just overwhelmed right now ... scared to death
... feeling the same thing that you're
feeling.
The Romneybot however fails miserably in its attempts to empathize with
warm-blooded human beings
We should double Guantanamo!
Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that.
Let Detroit go bankrupt.
I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back.
(Referring to the auto industry he wanted to go bankrupt.)
I'm in this race because I care about
Americans.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed.
(Quite a story, indeed!)
I know what it's like to worry whether you're
gonna get fired. There were a couple of times I wondered whether I was going to
get a pink slip.
I've got a lot of good friends, the owner of
the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, both owners are friends of mine.
I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I
can't have illegals. (Presumably when he wasn't running for office, it was
okay to have illegals.)
I like being able to fire people who provide
services to me. ("Like"?)
The Romneybot waxes romantic, sorta
I introduce to you the heavyweight champion
of my life. Wait, that didn't come out right. (Referring to his wife Ann.)
Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually.
(Is that one of her alien superpowers?)
In one of his more bizarre flip-flops, Romney went from strongly supporting
federal funding for stem cell research that might cure his
wife's multiple sclerosis, to opposing such funding. This strange bit of
waffling was pointed out by fellow Republican John McCain and his staff during
the last presidential election.
The Romneybot fails to compute and emits static
[Russia] is without question our number one geopolitical foe. (Not true since
the fall of the Iron Curtain and end of the Cold War.)
I must admit, I can’t imagine anything more awful than polygamy. (Not rape,
incest, murder, infanticide, matricide or genocide?)
I like the Twilight series. I thought that
was fun.(We assume he thinks the Cold Ones are comedians; perhaps
compared to him, they are.)
Who let the dogs out? Who, who? (During an awkward photo op with a group of African Americans kids.)
The Romneybot doing its best George W. Bush and Sarah Palin impressions
I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's
the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love.
I'm not familiar precisely with what I said, but I'll stand by what I said,
whatever it was.
I'm Mitt Romney—and yes Wolf, that's also my first name.
(Romney's first name is Willard; Mitt is his middle
name.)
Mr. Doublespeak
I am a big believer in getting money where the money is. The money is
in Washington.—Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney would have us believe that he favors a smaller, leaner
federal government. But when the
Salt Lake City Olympics was on the financial rocks, what did he do? He relied on
a huge taxpayer-funded bailout that exceeded all federal spending on
all previous Olympics combined. John McCain called the bailout
a "boondoggle" and a "ripoff" of American taxpayers" for "an incredible
pork-barrel project" that was "outrageous" and a "national disgrace." Romney,
however, bragged about the huge sums of money he procured from Uncle Sam. Later
he flip-flopped and said that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich
(not-so-coincidentally his main rivals for the Republican presidential
nomination) must be "held accountable" for seeking earmarks. But
when Romney addressed the New Bedford Industrial
Foundation in October 2002, his advice in a Power Point presentation was to
“boost federal involvement.” (Romney is also obviously a big believer in telling
gullible people whatever they want to hear.)
In any case, the real credit for saving the Olympics should go to the American
public. Romney's main contribution, really, was that he was an effective
lobbyist for federal government assistance (i.e., welfare). So when he attacks
poor people for requesting government assistance and accuses the government of what he
calls "crony capitalism," he's denouncing what he bragged about when he was
leader of the welfare pack. And he seems especially hypocritical when he calls it
"immoral" to borrow money to help flood victims, when he had no problem with the
federal government borrowing billions to bail out the Olympic games and his rich
Wall Street cronies. Nor does he have any problem proposing a budget that
will force the federal government to borrow $8 trillion dollars over the
next ten years to further increase spending on an already-bloated military.
Romney also waffles on the subject of abortion. Sometimes he
claims to want to abolish abortion completely, when trying to convince pro-life
conservatives that he believes life begins at conception. But when speaking to
more moderate and liberal Americans, he says that he favors exemptions for rape,
incest and cases where a pregnant woman's life is in danger. He also constantly
waffles on gay marriage. When speaking to a group of gay Republicans,
Romney promised to be a stronger advocate of gay rights than Ted Kennedy, who
espoused gay marriage. When speaking to more conservative Americans,
Romney claims to oppose gay marriage. But when his friends the Cathys were under
fire for publicly opposing gay marriage through their management of Chick-fil-A,
Romney refused to take a public stance. So he gives friends and foes alike the
impression that he would rather sit on the political fence than
definitively explain what he really believes.
I believe that God designed the universe and created the universe, and I
believe evolution is most likely the process he used to create the human body.—Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney claims to be a Christian, but his belief in human evolution
completely contradicts the salvation gospel of Saint Paul, which Paul said he
received directly from God. According to Paul, Adam was created perfect and
immortal by God, and was only condemned to suffer and die when he disobeyed God.
Thus it was Adam's disobedience that required Jesus Christ to be born, live a
perfect life and die, thus atoning for and redeeming Adam and his descendents.
But if Romney is correct and imperfect human beings evolved in an imperfect
world where trillions of animals suffered and died before man was capable of
understanding the will and word of God, there could have been no fall or
original sin. That would place the onus of suffering and death on the Creator,
not man. So it seems that Romney is attacking the core belief of most
Christians: that man is fallen and must be redeemed by God (because if human
beings evolved, it would be the other way around). During his discussion of his
belief in evolution, Romney pointed out that evolution is taught at B.Y.U., the
private Mormon university named after Brigham Young, a prophet of the Mormon
church. On April 9, 1852 speaking before the Salt Lake Tabernacle, Brigham Young
taught that Adam was "our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have
to do." He also taught that Eve was only one of Adam's wives (meaning that God
is a polygamist) and that Jesus Christ "was not begotten by the Holy Ghost."
Brigham Young's teachings were later confirmed in writing by major figures of
the Mormon church, such as Heber C. Kimball and Wilford Woodruff. Just four
years before his death, Brigham Young declared that it was God who gave him the
Adam-God doctrine. And Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism and its first
prophet, also said that Adam was the Ancient of Days, or God. But if Adam was
God, then God is responsible for all suffering and death, and thus for all evil.
And it seems these sins of God are connected to polygamy, since Brigham Young
said: "The only men who become Gods, even the sons of God, are those who enter
into polygamy" (Journal of Discourses 11:269). This would mean that
Jesus must have been a polygamist, even though the Bible does not mention Jesus
being married. And Mormon prophets have said that human beings can become gods
and "have jurisdiction over worlds" as Joseph Smith put it. So it seems this
process of God sinning and creating fallen worlds where creatures have to suffer
and die and evolve will continue ...?
We have a president, who I think is is a nice guy, but he spent too much
time at Harvard, perhaps.—Mitt Romney
But Willard Mitt Romney is a child of privilege with two Harvard degrees!
It's not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just
trying to catch one person.—Mitt Romney
Romney constantly speaks with a forked tongue, out of both sides of his mouth.
As long as Osama bin Laden was at large, Republicans criticized
President Obama for not doing enough to bring him to justice. And despite
the quote above, Romney called the decision to send
a team of Navy SEALs to Pakistan to kill bin Laden an easy decision that “even
Jimmy Carter” would have made. While speaking to New York firefighters, he said:
Of course I would have ordered taking out Osama bin Laden.—Mitt Romney
But in 2007 he said that it was not worth spending billions of dollars to catch
one person and he criticized President Obama for suggesting that such an attack
might be launched in Pakistan, saying in his best imitation of George W. Bush:
I do not concur in the words [sic] of Barack Obama in a plan [sic] to enter
an ally of ours.—Mitt Romney
So it seems obvious that Mitt Romney would not have launched the attack on Osama
bin Laden, because (1) he thought it wasn't worth the money it would cost and
(2) he didn't think the United States had the right to stage such an attack in
Pakistan.
