11. Does Romney realize how f'n ridiculous he sounds?

Thu Sep 27, 2012, 11:24 AM

Sep 2012

No one believed that he cared about poor people before this election began.

The Republican party doesn't care about poor people, and they spend a great deal of their time demonizing them and creating policies that punish them.

So, we've got all of that.

Then came the video--which cemented into fact--that Romney doesn't care about poor people.

So now--Romney is out on his "I care about poor people" tour.

This is so outrageously ridiculous that it's laughable.

Everyone damn well knows that Romney would not be doing this if not for that "47 percent" video. This is something that he would NEVER take up as an issue. EVER.

He looks like a damn fool.
