What I couldn't believe Romney said

[mary195149]

when they were talking about gun laws and he connected the troubled kids with single parents and kids need to have both parents.
I haven't heard anyone talking about this, but to me, I just couldn't believe he went there. He is going to piss off so many single parents.

1. The President of the United States was raised by a single mom

I couldn't believe he said that, either. Especially since the President referred to that part of his upbringing earlier.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. yes I noticed that

[EmeraldCityGrl]

3. Another thread is addressing this as well.

He insulted every single parent home in the country.

This is what he believes to his core.

4. That was code for "those black or brown kids in the ghetto" without fathers....

I was weirded out by that rant...and beautifully, Obama addressed that issue too...

[Ineeda]

13. Harrumph. You know he wanted to say 'baby daddies', not fathers.

He's an ass in every way.

5. this was just one

Of the "shaking my head" moments followed by outrage when he spoke...

6. Did you see the look on the face of the woman who asked the question?

It was priceless. She looked so disgusted. I hope someone can screencap that.

8. Yes. I commented to hubby about it. She really did look disgusted.

[liberalla]

10. YES I DID... I'm glad you mentioned it. She was like, WTF???

priceless - I wonder if mitt even noticed

[spiderpig]

7. And didn't he say something like "people should consider getting married before they have children"?

In addition to finding his tone snotty and condescending (well, his usual mien) and the statement itself vile, I just wondered about the way his mind works that he would connect people's marital status with assault weapons.

He gets more offensive every day.

12. Deja vu

I thought I was listening to Dan Quayle going off about Murphy Brown. Nice job at reaching out to undecided voters who are not part of the wing-nut base!

[Bjorn Against]

9. I also thought it was a coded attack on gay couples

He mentioned the need for "a mother and a father", he was talking just like the bigoted marriage amendment assholes.

[Sunlei]

11. Romney has always ministered single moms should give up their infant for adoption

He doesn't think woman with children are capable people, without a man

[WallaceRitchie]

14. China

Mitt talking about a level playing field... not for women, or for immigrants, or poor kids wanting a college education... but businesses and China.

Mr. Effing Outsource It... Mr. Silverspoon... Mr RichTaxCut... talking about a "level playing field"?

Get out of town.
