Joe Scarborough turns on Mitt

The problem with Mitt

By JOE SCARBOROUGH | 9/12/12 5:22 PM EDT

Voters who like moderates can’t trust him. Conservatives who are desperate for victory don’t believe him. And the election Republicans should be winning seems to be slipping further from their grasp.

On Saturday night, I sent out a few tweets predicting Mitt Romney’s defeat if he continued his directionless campaign through November. The Huffington Post turned those tweets into an article complete with a screaming headline about my “dark warning” to Republicans.

On Sunday the Wall Street Journal raised similar concerns after Gov. Romney went on “Meet the Press” to embrace parts of Obamacare.

By Monday, Romney reversed his Sunday position while conservative host Laura Ingraham slammed his campaign for its fecklessness. Ingraham argued that if Republicans couldn’t win this year, they should shut the party down.

She’s right.

1. CYA, Joe...

when the rats are desert the ship, you know it is sinking...

2. Scarborough has been trashing Mitch Romney for months . . .

He's still a shill for the right, but Joe has absolutely no respect for Mitch.

BTW, I would love to see him run for office in 2016. I think he'd last about 2 days before the death of the intern came back to bite him in the ass! What a clueless jerk, to even think that he has a shot at public office again, especially the presidency. Arrogant asshole!

3. Republicans are stupid with short memories. Think about diaper man Vitter who loves prostitutes was

elected again. Scarborough has a better chance than most Republicans. He has name brand recognition.

4. Ugghhh! Vitter . . . I am so ashamed for my state!

And you are soooo right about repukes, especially in the south. Of course I voted against Vitter, and I wrote him a nasty letter when he opened his big mouth about abortion and contraception. The gist of my letter was 'how do you think your prostitutes avoid conceiving your hillbilly babies if they don't have access to contraception'. The jackass sent me a stock email thanking me for my support! What a tool!

5. is 'mitch romney' a clone of mcchinless and rmoney? eom

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. McChinless . . . ha ha! I call him 'McTurtle'

Someone, I can't remember who, kept calling Romney by the name 'Mitch' on some tv show recently . . . can't remember which show, nor who it was that couldn't remember his name.

Anyone else know?

13. That would be Dave Letterman N/T

7. I don't like the whole "intern death" thing to be an issue.

Sadly, young people do die like that, and it's tragic. My brother in law, perfectly healthy in his 30s, "died" standing in his office. Luckily someone heard his head hit the copy machine, and they rushed to do CPR on him, otherwise he would have died exactly as the intern did because no one would have found him in time. The doctors still don't know what happened, just an electrical misfire.

So trying to say that Scarborough had something to do with her death, is just creepy and Fox news like.

11. Have you seen Scarborough

do his show?

It is like a mid 80s afterschool special on an abusive father and the mother and children in their enabling roles.

You can see him barely able to keep from slamming heads of the table at times. They don't know what to be more scared of, their physical safety or their cushy little gigs.

The stuff you are talking about is about as likely as being struck by lightning.

This creep got divorced, QUIT HIS JOB IN CONGRESS AFTER BEING RE-ELECTED, quit as publisher of his paper and had this poor girl end up with her cranium crushed in his office within a couple of months.

I can honestly say I have never heard of a 21 year old girl having her head cracked in after some kind of unexpected heart incident.

You read in the paper every day, a women getting killed by a man.

Better chance that Romney won't step on his dick campaigning in the next 48 hours than Scarborough did not kill this poor kid.

6. Joe does show is true colors in there.. blasting the President based on lies.

"health care boondoggle" Really Joe? I guess your family enjoys GREAT health care, unlike the families whose children finally got health care for their babies born with "pre-existing conditions." Or the people who had their insurance cancelled after years of payments, because they forgot to put down a hayfever medication they took, just when the insurance company found out that they had a potentially terminal disease, thanks to the "death panels" aka the offices who were given bonuses to find clerical errors on applications, so they could cancel the policy, and earn a bonus, (ACA got rid of that.)

So while I agree with him that Mitt is useless... I don't agree with his reasoning. And it really needs to be said that Joe is positioning himself for a run in the NEW republican party he speaks of, as he tears the old one down.

8. Where is that Intern Joe

10. "should be winning"

Why? Because the Repuke held congress did a great job alienating everyone?

12. I don't think they really want the WH this year. I'm convinced that many are trying to screw this..

up for Rmoney so they have a clear path for Jeb in 2016. They desperately want to control Congress, to continue to block everything coming out of the Obama WH, but I honestly don't think the PTB really care about winning it this year.

[ellenfl]

14. i agree. if we don't take back the house & get a filibuster-proof senate,

jebbie will be prez in 2016. it would be wise to disrupt the repub stranglehold on some of the state gummints, too. we've got to get the states out from under total repub control.

15. I couldn't agree more!
