and apparently it came across that way.

I really hope there is a lot of motivation and a good GOTV effort for this election because Mitt will be the rubber stamp for every rw anti labor, anti equal rights legislation that the Paul Ryans of the legislature will push through.

If the Democrats lose the Senate I wonder if they will use the fillibuster to their advantage like the GOPers have.

Sadly, Mittens even admitted at a private fundraising dinner the next night that he had no interest in winning over the NAACP. His appearance was a stunt to show his wealthy benefactors that he wasn't afraid to tell black people "F*@! You" to their face. Basically an extension of the prep school brat antics he was famous for as a wholesome Mormon youth.

I have to hope it backfires. And that other constituent groups will look at this with disgust.
