Colossally Stupid Letters to the Plain Dealer, Volume F: "HE EARNT IT!"

[HughBeaumont]

Dumb from stem to stern, this one is . . .

http://blog.cleveland.com/letters/2012/05/mitt_romney_earned_his_success.html

I am in California today, looking for work, since I cannot find work in Ohio.

President Barack Obama's attempt to copy FDR has been a colossal failure. [font size="4"]That's not surprising, since Obama has never had a real job in his entire life. [/font]

Mitt Romney is a successful business executive. He is our only hope of ending the miserable economic doldrums we suffer from. He made his fortune the old-fashioned way: He earned it.

Jim Hilbe, Cleveland

a. Your work situation . . . that's Obama's fault? Both state's incredible financial mismanagement (Ohio's legislature is Republican controlled, BTW), Greedbag Corporations and Bewsh 43's shite economic policies are perfectly innocent?

b. Obama taught constitutional law for 14 years, was a community organizer and a Senator. I'm curious to know why those aren't "real jobs" in your eyes?

c. Earned WHAT? Mitt Romney never had to struggle for even one minute in his life, he lived off of his rich daddy, he made his living as a parasite capitalist who fired workers (like you), infused companies with tons of debt and pocketed the profits.

If elected, Willard would institute insane Bewsh 43 economics and torch the safety net. I'm curious to understand how this austerity-based looney tunes, which is currently destroying a few European nations, is what's going to get America back on track. I'm also weirded out by the fact that you identify more with a man who would fire you with the same care as his morning bathroom trip rather than your fellow struggling workers.



If Jim were to get a skull fracture, Pixie Stix contents would probably fall out. People like this are allowed to vote and they can't even successfully walk upright.

1. You've got to mow a lot of lawns to pay the tuition at Cranbrook.

Maybe his dad gave him some stock that he could sell to pay for that, too.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Why are you picking on Willard? He DID work his way through Cranbrook.

Mostly as a barber.

[HughBeaumont]

5. DUzy!

[hifiguy]

6. Definitely a DUzy.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. HA!

[The Magistrate]

11. Let Me Join The DUzy Chorus, Sir

[GoCubsGo]

3. I see letters like that every day in my local paper.

Right down to the same, tiresome, idiotic talking points. I'll bet Jim thinks Willard really did save the auto industry, too. The stupid. It hurts.

4. Pixie Stix! I'm totally stealing that!

[hifiguy]

7. To borrow a phrase from Charlie Pierce,

this guy is a paste-eating moron.

[yellowcanine]

12. Nothing wrong with eating paste. Some of my best friends are paste eaters.

Don't knock it until you have tried it.

[yellowcanine]

8. Someone goes from Ohio to California to look for work?

Hmm. And we are supposed to listen to this person on the economy?

[HughBeaumont]

9. Thus the phrase "Dumb from stem to stern"!

Now, if one were hunting for ANY sort of credibility, WHY would they start their letter off that way? Isn't that just positively idiotic? Unbelievable.
