After his unfortunate loss to Obama, I thought I'd read a biography of Romney. Is this book any good, or could you recommend a better one?

1.14 million in a tight election where the two major parties spent something like a billion dollars is pretty amazing for a third party with no debate presence, almost no money, and no media attention. it's the most votes a Libertarian has ever received. and it's orders of magnitude above the nobody Rocky Anderson.

“It is no accident that Capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than ‘public spirit’ and ‘sense of duty.’ In Russia they say it is impossible to get a decent piece of bread. Perhaps I am over-pessimistic concerning State and other forms of communal enterprise, but I expect little good from them. Bureaucracy is the death of achievement.”

I do because he gives me more welfare than Romney, and I fucking love seeing Republicans lose their shit. It's hilarious

Also he "represents" liberalism and socialism to them even if he's a neocon authoritarian

Also he doesn't deep throat Israel's cock as hard as Rmoney did so it's less likely that our generation will be sent to Iran for them.

Also the culture that Obama represents is much more appealing than that of Rmoney's

You do know Obama has currently forced the UN to put a global trade embargo on Iran right? They are losing billions annually, and the country is close to political and economic collapse. Bush was moron who loved to fight, but Obama is a sneaky mother fucker. Iran is a lot bigger than Iraq, so it makes sense to hobble the country first before going in for mass slaughter.

I do know that, but Israel overwhelmingly supported Romney and praised Obama's sanctions anyway. Netanyahu doesn't seem to like Obama much and wants him to send in Americans as pawns now.

But you do bring up an interesting point if you're implying he does plan to go to war and is using this to weaken them before the strike.

I don't know, they were both evil as fuck, NDAA, drone strikes, I just felt Obama was the lesser of two evils.

That is exactly what I am implying. Obama will never let the breach of the proliferation treaty go unpunished. I don't see why he keeps rejecting their proposed amendment to the treaty. It the US is allowed to arm itself to the teeth and point it's weapons at Iran, then they should be allowed to have weapons as a defensive measure.

It's not as if America has any qualms when it comes to arming the rest of the world anyway:
