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 arrogance of the Romneys…
Well…this is going to be a short one on the astounding arrogance of ole Mitt and his wife…who will not let any opportunity pass to make sure we all know they are our betters…and that arrogance has run through this entire election campaign and I just need a couple of quotes from Ann Romney to cut through the nonsense that they are just like the rest of the 99% of us. The first happened a few months back when Ann was asked why Mitt should be president and her answer was “it’s our turn now”…It’s our turn now? Just like their lives that have been built on crony capitalism…these folks have the same feeling that runs through the rich, that they have earned everything they have and now feel that because they have been good 1%’ers that they are owed the presidency. But, even worse..ole Ann was on one of the morning talk shows this week and asked about releasing more tax returns to meet the standards of every other candidate since ole Mitt’s father…and her comment was ‘we’ve given you people all you need to know”….basically saying that you are beneath us and how dare you request anything more of us. This is the arrogance of the rich in this country…and I, for one, don’t need to hear any more of it from them….geez…
Rich people just don’t get it…
Well…I really don’t want to dump on all rich people in this one…I know a few of them and they seem like okay sorts and some of them do good works in our community and make it better than it would be without them….but, and this is a big but, to have people like Mitt and Ann Romney say that they understand what it is like to be just a normal working person in the US is just nonsense…and ole Mitt compounds this by using his wife as his “adviser” on working women’s issues….when she has never in her life worried about bouncing a check or getting laid off or losing her healthcare. I read an interesting article the other day about the “bubble” that surrounds these rich folks…and the assertion by ole Mitt that they know what is going on for the rest of us because he listens to people that come to his campaign functions…but the immediate question that comes to me is ‘who comes to those functions?”…and it is overwhelmingly people that think like him, so he gets the misguided idea that he is on the right track with his policy solutions….and it just reinforces the fact that the repubs never govern for everyone in the country…the only people that they give a damn about are those that give money to them and vote for them…the last I checked, there are other people that are citizens, too…what about us? I think we are in the same situation nationally that we have been here in Michigan when we have had billionaires try to tell us they know what it is like to work for a living when they ran for governor….it is just not true…these folks have not for one day in their lives had to worry every morning when they wake up is this the day that my health fails and I lose everything that I’ve worked for my entire life because I can’t afford health insurance? Their answer is to repeal ACA and tell those of us nearing 60 that can’t find work is to “work harder” and things will work out…it’s just not true.
