During his tenure as President, Barack Obama has been called a Marxist, a fascist, a socialist ...

and worse, while having his very citizenship questioned; all of these with no "maybe" attached. He has quietly shrugged it off and continued to do the job the American people elected him to do. Now, it has been claimed that Mitt Romney may have committed a felony (and based on the report in the Boston Globe, that is without question a possibility). But the claim that such a contingency even exists has sent Romney and his entire campaign team into a full-on, pearl-clutching frenzy; replete with sputtering demands for a repudiation, an apology, and perhaps an act of ritual seppuku.
It occurs to me that perhaps politics is too rough a hobby for poor Mittens to dabble in. Perhaps young master Mitt should seek out a diversion more suited to his oh-so-tender sensitivities. Hell, since he already has the horsey (and the accompanying $77,000 tax write-off) might I suggest dressage?

It is simply a fact, like the sun rising in the east, that he lies, lies even when the truth might do. The man has not heard the word 'no' since he hit puberty, and it is catching up to him now....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

But he sure can't take it when he's shown to be doing it.

own medicine with these attacks on Romney.

When I am on websites where gopers post, it is unbelievable.
Rational people want to see Mitt's tax returns - and their response?
Why won't Barry release his college records? Is it because it shows that he is a Kenyan Muslim?
Or they say that President Obama is talking about Bain because he can't run on his record - which is the most insane comment of all! It's Mitt who can't run on his record. He won't even talk about it. He won't even talk about the Olympic uniforms.


Mitt is way over his head running for President, how dare him even think for one second that he could actually BE President.
