Romney's Latest.....I Believe This Is When The Right Wing Begins To Eat Mitt Alive

[kpete]

This may be where the real implosion
starts to take manifest itself.

When the Right Wing begins to eat Romney alive:

“Don’t forget — I got everybody in my state insured,” Romney told NBC. “One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don’t think there’s anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record.”

1. Awesome, Mitt!

So explain why this is good for MA but not for the rest of the country?

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. He is a really a one-man debating team,

and I hope the right leaves nothing but bones when they're done with him.

[rocktivity]

7. "A 'one man debating team?' I take strong exception to that remark..."

rocktivity

[Cha]

22. LOLOLOLLOOLOOLLOOOlLOLOL!

[SmileyRose]

25. duzy

Lol

[tarheelsunc]

29. Even now, it's still amazing to think of how our President won a debate without saying a word

[renate]

38. OMG i *love* that

"A one-man debating team"--hilarious!!!

He reminds me of Gollum in The Two Towers.

[rocktivity]

3. NOTHING shows that you have more empathy and care, Mitt

so why are you planning to repeal it?


rocktivity

[klook]

4. Agreed - compassionate liberalism makes them want to kill

and the idea that their standard bearer bears the taint -- or should I say "stench"? -- of collective, government-managed, compassionate good works drives them into a complete frenzy.

[Laurajr]

5. His desperation stinks

The GOP has to hate him.

[appleannie1]

6. When I heard him say that I bet it would take about an hour for the campaign to explain he did not

mean what it sounded like he said.

[renie408]

8. He really is stupid, isn't he. My god. They are going to lynch him.

[Spazito]

9. Kerry was right!

Romney has to figure out how to win the debate with himself before the debate with President Obama.

[malaise]

18. Ding ding we have a winner n/t

[tblue37]

31. Yep--and with Queen Ann we have a whiner, too! nt

[Cha]

23. Good one, Kerry! Thanks

Spazito!

[Cha]

24. And, Pres Obama has to be prepared to

debate two men! "empathic" mitt and sneering plutocrat money boo hoo.

[kurtzapril4]

34. Money Boo Boo...LOL!!!

You win 1 internets!

[Jessy169]

10. Mitt deserves a public flogging

and I hope that's what he gets.

[rhett o rick]

11. A sociopath has no concept of empathy. But they, of course, dont know that. nm

[central scrutinizer]

12. that sounds downright socialistic!

if he wasn't a lying douche, I would give him mad props.

[lindysalsagal]

13. He's just using the proper words in a sentence with his own name. None of it has meaning for him.

He's a puppet: Saying without understanding. Nothing adds up. There are no ramifications for anything. He's just running because he's already made more money than he'll ever be able to spend, and he doesn't really work for a living. He's just running for something to do. He doesn't want to actually run the country: He just wants to tell himself he got the biggest title in the world, and handed everything over to the mormon church.

There's just no critical thinking going on at all.

I'm so afraid what decisions he would make, because we'd never know who was puppeting him at any given moment.

He can't even figure out how bad it looks to go get financial help from china. More money won't help him now.

Even Donald Trump makes more sense than this lunatic.

[tblue37]

32. The best description of his motivation that I've seen is that he wants to be Prom King. nt

[spanone]

14. there is no 'real mitt'

[Honeycombe8]

15. Yep. He's in a quagmire. He should've taken this stance from the beginning, but he couldn't

but he couldn't win the primary with that stance.

Now he's trying this dance where he distinguishes his Mass. health care reform from federal reform. It's for only the light of foot politician, which he definitely is not.

[TrogL]

44. Yeah, definitely clog dancing vs tap dancing

[hifiguy]

49. The Rmoney campaign, from Willard on down

is like a cow on roller skates headed for the freeway. Not one thing good is going to come of it.

[randome]

16. So he's saying he is as compassionate as Obama.

At least he knows the standard by which he should measure himself.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. I'm compassionate - love me independents......I'm a sociopath - love me Tea Baggers

He's got to take a stand, even though it has weaknesses, as taking no stand is the greatest weakness.

As his friend Clint said: "a man's got to know his limitations".

[MannyGoldstein]

19. Obliteration with honor

Is what Romney seeks. He shall not have it.

[Third Doctor]

20. There he goes again!

Trying to sound sane.

[AzDar]

21. I think he may have some undiagnosed mental condition...

[cr8tvlde]

35. I truly believe that ... the guy is not normal ... something that has a

high-functioning aspect that can be hidden/accommodated with money, support people, denial, etc. But with high pressure, it can not be contained. I have suspicions, but I'm not a psychologist. He is most definitely a pathological liar...nicely called etch-o-sketch or flip-flopping. There is no personality core...that is a mental condition.

[loyalsister]

37. medicalizing politicians is not productive

And ultimately diminishes people who have disabilities.

Gay people, African American Americans, and women were all medicalized in attempts to deny them their rights.
In many cases the counter argument for claiming their rights was "It's not like I'm one of those freaks." Please lets not go there again.

[Smickey]

51. How about when the president does it?

Romneisia.

[loyalsister]

52. Unlike the Dxs imposed on mitt

This fictional state of mind is not alleged to be a medical condition.

[Smickey]

53. Really...that is it. Hmmm

[loyalsister]

54. do you believe that Obama is proposing that Romnesia be added to the DSM?

I don't

[ZombieHorde]

26. Bwahahaha! nt

[mick063]

27. Mitt is shaking the etch a sketch again.

But sometimes they don't completely erase unless you shake it real hard.

Shake it harder Mitt.

[aerofund]

28. Obama's New Strategy

Obama's new campaign is to let Mitt and Ryan continue to speak.

[renate]

39. It's definitely effective!

Welcome to DU!

[DearAbby]

30. For about two nano-seconds I almost felt sorry

For Romney. I can almost imagine what Ryan said when he heard that. I can almost see Mitch McConnell's lower chin, extended in anger. It hasn't seen the light of day in years...it has fold cheese.

Thank you Mitt Romney for making the case for ObamaCare. Because we are a country who has empathy and care about the people of this country, was the reason why OBAMACARE exists.

[ErikJ]

33. Hard to believe The Mitt is becoming a bigger train wreck than Palin...

Maybe it's time for Mitt to bail out....Roll down an airplane window and jump out now......crash and burn

[jmowreader]

40. How Obama will finish off Mitt once and for all

All he need do is lead Gordon Gekko into talking about the Mass healthcare program, which he is,very proud of. Then he just needs to say, "So why do you want to repeal the same plan we got for the rest of the country?"

Extra points if he asks how a man whose business career was spent drowning companies in debt can hope to cut taxes, quadruple defense spending and fix the national debt, especially since he can't use his Bain tools. Can't sell private assets, can't fire private workers and can't liquidate the company.

[bluestate10]

41. Yep. Those "christians" are going to have his scalp. nt

[vankuria]

42. He just endorsed Obama!!

Way to go Mitt!

[TrogL]

43. I am horribly, horribly confused

As a Presidential candidate, why isn't he either promoting this at the federal level, or insisting that all States implement this at the State level, perhaps with federal assistance?

[joanbarnes]

45. !?!?!

[D23MIURG23]

46. Damn. When he flails, he really thrashes. n/t

[tclambert]

47. Words recently associated with the Romney campaign: flailing, floundering, catastrophe, sinking,

stench of failure, disarray.

Anybody see a pattern?

[Auntie Bush]

48. How do you debate someone when you don't know where they stand or what they believe?

[RitchieRich]

50. Sad. I actually didn't hate McCain before his hard right turn

I wonder if Mittens is just dressing up in his finest AssHat to please the far right? It seems unlikely he would have gone so far Left just to play dress up back then if it didn't reflect his beliefs. Who knows.
