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…
The Romney campaign has lost it…so has Netanyahu
Well….one of the things that I have seen from the repubs over the past couple of years is that the rules don’t apply to them, whether they are actual laws or just the unwritten rules that somewhat codify what acceptable behavior is in a campaign. The Romney campaign has reached a new low just this week with the use of clips from the Israeli premiere, Netanyahu, to attack Obama on foreign policy…something that has never happened in history but the stink of desperation from them must be clouding their judgment…and I am being charitable…I really believe they are the amoral opportunists that their actions have shown them to be since the rise of the tea partiers. This is just another example of ole Mitt’s lack of judgment and again point up the lack of any foreign policy by the repubs…and letting Netanyahu push you around to get what he wants doesn’t make ole Mitt presidential…it just makes him look like the empty vessel that he is…geez…
The rats are leaving…part two…
Well…just had to get to this one today since it shows the trouble ole Mitt’s campaign is in…in case you haven’t heard, one of his campaign co-chairs, Tim Pawlenty, has left the campaign to take a job lobbying to try to keep re-regulation of the banks from happening…as bad as that is, the real info is between the lines…why would a person that still believes that ole Mitt can be elected leave and give up the chance to be a part of a Romney administration? After all, that is what all of these political types are all about….to help to implement the winning side’s vision for the country. So, with the polls showing and increasingly untenable position for ole Mitt, we have the second wave of the rats leaving the sinking ship and it really makes me smile….at least there is something to smile at these days…
More Mitt hits the fan…
Well…if it wasn’t already clear what ole Mitt thinks about workers here in the US, you just need to look at a campaign stop that happened this week where he was touting coal as the energy source of the future….first it was at a mine owned by Murray Energy whose callousness towards it’s workers safety has been well documented, but second, the owner made attendance to the rally mandatory while closing the mine for a day and costing the workers a days pay that they can ill afford. And this guy says he cares about workers? It is breathtaking how unfeeling ole Mitt is, that he doesn’t understand that his photo op could have cost these workers the ability to make their house payment or put food on the table…but, it has been shown he just doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself and his rich buddies…geez…
A placeholder
Well…this one is a placeholder for an idea I just had that is about the fact that Mitt is just not too bright…from his upbringing to his success…it has been built by someone else…
Deadbeats of a different sort…
Well…this little nugget just popped into my head and I thought I’d share it….this goes back to ole Mitt’s statement that “corporations are people, too, my friend” on the stump and highlights an unintended dig that Mitt had for those same corporations. When you look at the numbers, you’ll find that many, many corporations like GE did not pay any income taxes in the past few years….so does that make them part of the 47% that ole Mitt so callously derides? To me, this just points out the incoherence and ignorance that is the core of the repub candidate…I thought I’d seen the stupidist (I know that’s not a real word) candidate for president when I saw ole GW…but Mitt is in a class of his own and makes even Rick Perry look like a genius….bring on the debates…geez…
Have to take on this latest “mitticism”…
Well…ole Mitt has done it again…reveling what he truly thinks about the American people who are not rich, who are not part of the privileged few like him who have been given everything and think they earned it. The latest from this idiot comes from a fundraiser earlier in the year where he shows his disdain for almost half of the people of this country who, by his measure, are the “takers” who pay no income tax and will never vote for him…and he shows that he would not give a damn about them if he is elected. First, let’s get this straight…even those who do not pay income taxes, and this is mostly a result of the Bush tax cuts, pay payroll and other taxes that average almost 16% of their income and they can’t use any loopholes to reduce this tax burden…which is more as a percentage than ole Mitt pays in income taxes…and, the second thing is that, in the 47% that don’t pay income taxes, you have all retirees on social security and the unemployed, but you also have the working poor whose wages have been in real decline due to repub policies that have rewarded companies for offshoring jobs….and now you have Mitt blaming these folks for the policies that he still champions….why any working person would ever vote for this idiot, I just can’t fathom…geez…
Some news and other stuff…
Well…as you know, I’ve been watching the continuing rise of Obama in the polls and it has made me smile some…and the latest, where he is up by 11-14% in Pennsylvania just adds to the smile…and if you add in the 10 plus that Obama is up here in Michigan, ole Mitt must be really, really concerned…I cannot wait for the debates where I’m sure Obama will torch ole Mitt and force him to admit that the only economic plan he has is more of GW’s tax cuts and spending cuts…one thing we do need to remember when the talk comes from the right about the national debt, that most of it happened under ole GW’s watch…12 trillion of it to be exact so no one should listen to the repubs on anything economic…they just don’t ave a clue. One other thing that I do want to comment on is a statement that came out of the ‘value voters” summit that was held last week sponsored by the usual suspects on the right; the Family Resource Council, AEI and their ilk….something that sounded just like something that would come out of the Taliban of radical Islam…where they said that women should dress more modestly or they should expect men to act badly around them…really? In the US, in 2012? Again, these folks that push personal responsibility to the point of nausea now turn around and say that men just can’t help themselves and it is womens fault if they don’t dress in a burqa? The last thing we need in this country is to elect these folks…and Romney and Ryan both support this nonsense…geez…
Here’s the difference…
Well…I think things are starting to turn in the election and I do believe that it comes down to the competing visions that the two parties have for the country…the dems have a vision of possibilities and a greater future with fighting for the middle class while the repubs have a vision of a diminished America of going backwards on the rights of citizens and giving more and more away to corporations and the rich. The American people are starting to see the repubs for who they are and they don’t like it…they don’t like ole Mitt trampling on the memories of the 4 Americans killed in Libya and they don’t like that he appears more and more like he is in no way near ready to be president….and the media is starting to call them on their vagueness and lies…I am really starting to have hope that the repubs are being seen for what they are…they are not like the rest of us to be sure…
