mitt romney....not one ounce of class.

[spanone]

WASHINGTON – Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is telling top campaign donors that President Barack Obama won re-election because of the "gifts" he had already given to specific voting groups, particularly Latinos, and because of the president's effort to paint Romney as anti-immigrant.

"The president's campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift," Romney said in a call to donors on Wednesday. "He made a big effort on small things."

Romney said his campaign, in contrast, had been about "big issues for the whole country." He said he faced problems as a candidate because he was "getting beat up" by the Obama campaign and that the debates allowed him to come back.

In the call, Romney didn't acknowledge any major missteps, such as his "47 percent" remarks widely viewed as denigrating nearly half of Americans, his lack of support for the auto bailout, his call for undocumented immigrants to "self-deport," or his change in position on abortion, gun control and other issues. He also didn't address the success or failure of the campaign's strategy of focusing on the economy in the face of some improvement in employment and economic growth during the months leading up to Election Day.

9. Don't ya just want to smack him again?

He needs to be voted out every week until he and Ryan STFU.

2. One thing about it he is proving many of us here to be correct when we say

he is a DICK

3. Who released the details of this call?

Okay, Robme is a heartless, racist dick . . . we all knew that quite a long time ago. But you know what I've been wondering . . . Who released the details of this call?

The article says he addressed 'top campaign donors', so I have to assume this event wasn't open to journalists or the public (typical rMoney secretiveness). It appears that even his donors don't think much of him. I'm sure they never did and were just trying to keep PBO from being reelected.

But who dislikes Mitch so much that they:

1) attend this shindig at all, and
2) release the details of his speech when it's pretty clear that he won't ever run again for anything.

Why else would this information be released, unless it was to again portray him as a racist asshole?

5. from the article:

Romney's finance team organized the call to donors. A person who listened to Romney's call provided details about it to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the call was private. The Los Angeles Times first reported Romney's remarks.

8. That's funny! - eom

13. Romney it seems is rather secretive he says almost nothing in public but explains himself in private

I wonder about the hidden cell phone implying it was one of the workers there are a couple problems.

1. If hired to serve dinner how did they know Romney's message would be worth listening.
2. I don't see Romney well known cheapskate hauling around his own servants but could be wrong.

Whoever recorded Romney set up a decent camera angle was taking a risk using a cell phone. It must have been a camera.

My theory is that someone close who works for him is a traitor it could actually be a donor.

4. Hey Mitt! Shut the F up!

You lost. Go away. Nobody wants to hear your whiny sore loser crap.

6. Welfare, wealthfare. Learn the difference, Governor.

Bonus points for seeing which one costs more, and also which one benefits society more.

7. well, i guess mitt was trying to gift his wealthy donors with tax cuts, eh?

[reflection]

15. Yep.

And the way I see it, if you give something to a person who doesn't need it, it is more of a gift than if you give it to someone who does need it.

10. Money can buy lots of things, but it can't buy class.

He is a first-class loser. A bitter man who truly believed he could buy the Oval Office. I find him absolutely repulsive.

12. i think mr romney just put the final nail in his political coffin

[Generic Other]

11. He and his piehole are the gift that keeps giving

Next he'll trot out Ann.

[gordianot]

14. Ann is as insensitive as Mitt.

I could never understand the myth that Ann was Mitt's greatest asset. Sour, dismissive, entitled, sarcastic.

That immature person (according to Ann) beat the wealthy sophisticate job creator.

16. I love to hear sore ass Goper losers explain why they lost the election. It's

like re-living election night. Feels good. Wonder why Gawd gets no credit for Pres. Obama's win?

17. to quote their "hero"

"There he goes again!"
