Rmoney basically called President Obama a coward and anti-American today...

Every time I read his statements, that's what I get in my head. It's been bugging me all day.

He basically called the President of the United States a coward and anti-American with those quotes.

That's how low he is willing to go and he's not one bit fucking sorry for it.

You know how truly despicable he is not just by these quotes, but also by that awful smirk on his face as he's leaving the podium.

...in a presidential campaign for a while. Total fuckup. I have no idea what Team Romney thought they could get out of skinning things like this, but all they got was higher unlikeability numbers. I bet that's true for Democrats AND Conservatives.

Some people love Obama, some people hate him.

But nobody likes Romney.

The dog on the roof, cutting the kid's hair, hiding his money, forgetting the troops and now this. It was drip, drip, drip. With each little thing it became more obvious.

At least John McCain had it in him to stand up and speak up. He did it during his campaign and he was very statesman like today.

Rmoney is the worst.

It was statesmen like and very good. He was thoughtful and it was not about scoring political points. I'm not a fan of his, but he's ten times the human Rmoney could ever hope to be.

Although it's not usual to see this from a Presidential candidate, his base has been far beyond just trending toward this level of troglodyte behavior.

You can tell who he is pandering to. Fortunately what it means is he's painting himself into a corner.
