Well…it has been a long day and I am starting to realize that buying the newspapers in the morning is a good investment…at least for the purpose of writing these things….I am looking forward to the debates tomorrow and if Obama can’t dismantle Romney easily, he shouldn’t be re-elected…after all, ole Mitt is just a stiff that has changed his stances on everything that is important and he really does hate almost half the country because they aren’t rich….even I could beat that stiff…and I wouldn’t have to prepare at all…and I can’t wait to hear the “zingers” that ole Mitt has been rehearsing for 6 weeks…my response would be to him “is that one of the famous zingers you have been practicing?”…and then hit him early and often on his dismissal of the 47%, his voodoo tax plan, and Medicare, Medicare, Medicare….then I’d mention the new studies that are out that show that the trashing of the economy by the repubs is the real reason why the economy is not recovering as fast as it could…and I would take credit for Obamacare…what do the repbus have in response to that…give more money to the insurance companies that buy their votes? As I said, it’s been a long day and I am so frickin tired that I can’t stand it…

Mitt again…still crazier…
Well…it’s starting to look like ole Mitt is one of those guys that never met an idea that he didn’t like…and the craziest one of the last week is his endorsement of a campaign mailer for northern Virgina that pledges his support to eradicate “chronic Lyme disease” that the flyer says is an epidemic there. Never mind that the epidemic is a thousand cases of Lyme disease in a population of three million people…the best part is that chronic Lyme disease does not exist according to the AMA….the only person that is pushing this diagnosis is a big donor to Romney and a doctor that had his license suspended for endangering patients with the unnecessary, huge doses of antibiotic that he says is the only treatment. So now Mitt is taking medical advice for his campaign from a donor that has no medical training? It is endemic of the modern repubs that they don’t believe science…unless faking it can be used to make a political point….what a bunch of crap…geez…
Harvesting companies…
Well….another day, another video showing the true side of ole Mitt….the latest has to do with his initial pitch to investors in Bain that blows apart his whole “I’m a job creator” meme that he has been pushing. I find this one almost as bad as the 47% video from a couple of weeks ago and in it, ole Mitt describes the methods that Bain will use to make money for these investors that include buying, managing, and then “harvesting” the companies….Mittspeak for trashing them to make huge profits and then walking away from the wreckage with millions of dollars in his pocket. This goes on to this day with Bain buying another company that is profitable (I can’t find the name of it) and has told all of the workers the company is to be moved to China with Mitt still making almost a million dollars from throwing almost 300 people out of work. Is this the kind of president this country needs? Nope, nope, nope…geez…
Just a little more Mitt…
Well…I find the recent effort by ole Mitt’s campaign to ‘humanize” him by putting out ads that says he cares about all Americans laughable and such a transparent lie that I really don’t know what they are thinking….and then they roll him out to do interviews where he is proud that 100% of children in Mass have health insurance through Romneycare…but he sees no conflict with his stated promise that he will repeal Obamacare if he is elected throwing millions of children out into the cold with healthcare. Is this guy just stupid or has he no core? I am astounded that anyone still listens to this liar…geez…
One more short one on fact checkers…
Well…this one struck me as I read the angst in the fact checker sphere when the stats say they have fact checked the repubs more than the dems in this election cycle…with one of them going so far to say they have put a moratorium on fact checking Michelle Bachmann since everything she says is a lie and it skews the statistics…but, I think there is is a very simple reason for this discrepancy between the two parties…the repubs just lie more! The dems still try to tell the truth and use actual arithmetic to analyze budget plans while the entire right wing world is based on faith and belief that things are so when they are not…reinforced by a right wing media that allows and even encourages the lies…I have never seen a campaign like Romney’s where the lie has the same weight as the truth…geez…
Okay…did you think I could go a whole day without ole Mitt?
Well…sitting here waiting for the Tigers game to start and read an interesting thing that ole Mitt said while talking to some small businessmen in Ohio today…while he was talking to them about his tax plan he said “don’t expect your taxes to go down much…and we are going to close some loopholes by reducing deductions for individuals..” Now, to me, this sounds just like the plan that he has adamantly said is not his tax plan…to lower taxes on the rich and taking away deductions from the middle class to pay for them. It was funny when some of the people that were interviewed after the speech started to understand that if Romney does what he promised in the speech…they will end up paying more in taxes…and they were confused that the independent analysis of ole Mitt’s plans were right…I think there may be cracks in the small business constituency that ole Mitt is depending on…and none too soon…geez…
Just a reminder…
Well…just a short one to remind people why ole Mitt is not going to reveal more detail from his economic plan…he doesn’t need to, just look back at ole GW’s plan and you will see everything that ole Mitt has to offer…tax cuts for the rich, exploding deficits, and much more income equality….let’s repeat that…tax cuts for the rich, exploding deficits, and more income equality…I should repeat it again but you get the point…geez….
More nonsense…
Well…I am finding it to be fun to watch the slow motion destruction of the Romney campaign and they just keep sticking their feet in it…today, we had ole Paul Ryan in Ohio trying to win over undecided voters with the old canard that being against gay marriage is a “universal value” that everyone in the country believes and that’s why he supports legislation against it…I wonder if old Paul understands the word universal? The gist of it is that universal means that everyone understands it in the same way…but the polls here in the states show that more than 50% of the people are okay with gay marriage…I guess he means that among his troglodyte followers it is a universal value but for people who think that equal rights mean equal rights it is not universal by any stretch of the imagination. Keep it up Paul, every time you open your mouth Obama gets farther in the lead…
No one can be this stupid…
Well…a couple of things came up in the news this morning that raises questions about how stupid ole Mitt really is…and this is such a good one…as you probably know, there was an incident on Ann Romney’s plane the other day with smoke in the cabin that forced an emergency landing…no one was hurt but poor Ann’s eyes were watering…and guess what ole Mitt’s response was? His response was to question why aircraft don’t have roll down windows so outside air can be let into the cabin…you must be laughing at this one…I know I did…let’s get a nice 500 mile an hour wind into the cabin after everything is pushed out the window by the pressure…what an ignorant idiot…there really is outside air in all aircraft cabins…it is called an air mask and they have one for every seat on the plane…oh, that’s right…the Romneys never fly commercial so they have never seen the instructions for how to use the air masks…or they let their servants listen to them…not sure which….geez…
“This is hard…”
Well…I was going to comment on this one the other day when I read about it but things got away from me and I just remembered it. After the gaffe fest that was the Romney campaign this week, and with even the right attacking the stupidity of ole Mitt, we saw the real Romneys come out in some comments made by Ann…in response to the attacks she said “this is hard..you should get out here and try this…”…and I agree, it is hard…but the tone that was in her voice just made me ill…the desperate whinings of one of the privileged that finally got a taste of life where you have to work for what you want; not have it given to you at every turn…I for one, am sick of the victim shroud that the rich repubs wrap themselves in whenever they are challenged, when one of their lessers refuses to play the role that the rich think they should. This just goes along with another statement that Ann made earlier in the campaign, that is was “their turn” to have the presidency….I can’t wait until we don’t have to listen to these folks anymore…geez…
