Facts don't ruffle Romney. As, his top advisor says..
“Politics is like sports…A lot of people have ideas, and there’s no right or wrong. You just have to chart a course, and stay on that course.”

But I have and it was Sept 17th, 2012. I don't really care if you rest in peace Romney, but your campaign is DOA.

9. Well, the TRUE irony is that, in spite of all this, it'll STILL be a close election.
|
The sad fact is that enough of the voters are vulnerable to the politics of resentment that the modern Republican Party can take a plutocrat who was born wealthy, became more wealthy by screwing regular Americans out of their jobs and pensions, never did an honest days work, ducked out of the Vietnam war and would send the country into war after war demanding OTHERS do the fighting, is obviously incompetent, three faced, and has no clue about anything...who would be a worse foreign policy disaster than Bush Jr., freely admits that he'll give even MORE to the wealthy while taking even MORE away from regular folks, says he'll dismantle Medicare and Social Security, says "fuck the poor, the aged and the sick..."
And in spite of all this, 47% of the country will STILL vote for him, no matter what. |

10. I think the number is now closer to 23%
|
The same 23% who believe in creationism and whose knuckles drag on the floor. The same 23% who supported dumbya no matter what idiotic thing he did.

12. Exactly right. But Romney was making a larger point than just
|
"some people don't pay taxes". He basically called them all lazy moochers regardless of their situation. And he doubled down at his presser.

14. He's a damn fool is what he is.
|
Put aside what he's actually saying...the fact that he was dumb enough to say it out loud to a room full of people (even when it was supposed to be "private") shows he's an idiot.

11. If you make to little, you are not legally obligated to pay income taxes
|
Remember Rmoney proudly telling us he paid what he was legally obligated to and not a dollar more.
To paraphrase Clinton, it takes a lot of brass to show such disdain to someone for doing what you did. |
