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…
Just a few things…again…
Well…after the over the top output over the past few days, I think I’ll just take it easy today and noodle around again to see if anything starts to work…I did want to talk about the new conference that ole Mitt did on Tuesday….did anyone else get creeped out by the smarmy, smirking, exit? A serious situation like the one in Libya and all this guy can do is smirk? It is getting too easy to take shots at this idiot…so, that will be the last one for the day. Good news with the polls here in Michigan…the latest ones show that ole Mitt is 10 points behind and has stopped spending money here…yay…and other polls show that senator Stabenow is leading Hoekstra by 11…and Hoekstra keeps making mistake after mistake…kinda like ole Mitt…okay…I won’t talk about him anymore. I did go back to watching the news yesterday and I think it will be a one time thing since it has gotten way too strident for me…that’s about it…can’t really think right now…I may be back later for more, though…who knows?
One last thing for today…
Well…I know I have been hammering ole Mitt almost non stop for the last couple of months but my ire has been earned by the stupidity we see daily from these folks…but the one scary thing that most people don’t know is who his foreign policy advisers are…if you like to be lied into two wars that were not paid for, then vote for ole Mitt since he has all of guys that were responsible for the Iraq war working for him and making his foreign policy…scary stuff if you love this country as I do…what we don’t need is a re-run of the Bush years….and that is what you’ll get with ole Mitt…
I find this just too funny…
Well…reading and reading all day, I found a new thread that has started to pop up that is just too funny…that is if you think the Romney candidacy is a joke as I do…the repubs have already started to try out the trial balloons of why Romney lost…yep, even those on the right are starting to see this election as a lost cause and are getting ready to throw Romney under the bus to try to save the “brand” of the republican party by saying that ole Mitt was just a bad candidate but the ideas of the party are still good and the people like them. The people like tax cuts for the rich? The people like deregulation of the banks? The people like the dismantling of Medicare? The people like the destruction of Social Security? The people like two wars that were not paid for? The people like government intrusion into women’s bodies? The people like the rejection of science for ignorance? Man, the repubs are just delusional if they think that the rejection of Romney is not a rejection of the crazy right wing ideas, too…and maybe the media won’t let them get away with it this time…we can only hope….geez…
