He proves himself out of touch with the human race almost daily.

Also, threadwinner in one.

Ed Finnerty: Clearly, he doesn't know if he's Komen or goin'.

He is something of a Karma Chameleon the last couple years in politics, I'm told they Komen go.

Honor among thieves. Of course he would root for cash-grabbers like himself.

Peter_Veal: Honor among thieves. Of course he would root for cash-grabbers like himself.

To be fair to Romney, I bet his business buying failing businesses and firing all the employees at least managed to run on less than 80% overhead and didn't lobby against a number of bills attempting to fund cancer research while claiming to be an anti-cancer charity, so he's got that over the Komen guys.

Speaking of cash grabbing, we shouldn't be focusing on Susan Komen's administrative overhead because Planned Parenthood has overhead too (new window).

/Republicans sure love the "both sides are bad" line of "reasoning".

Yeah, I almost forgot the Planned Parenthood branded KitchenAid mixer they are selling at Kohl's.

Man, you may have found the dumbest blog on the internet. Is that gal really claiming that an organization whose only purpose is to move money (from donors to, theoretically, researchers and, actually, right-wing lobbyists) should reasonably have a fourth again as much overhead as an organization that distributes actual services to millions of customers/patients?

We all know Mitt would be just as successful if he was born to a low-income woman with reduced access to pre and post natal care because America and bootstraps and Jesus and Joseph Smith.

Peter_Veal: Yeah, I almost forgot the Planned Parenthood branded KitchenAid mixer they are selling at Kohl's.

I would buy a Planned Parenthood branded vacuum.

Not to mention she has numbers pulled out of her ass. PP has actual overhead with all those frickin' buildings too. With all the money SGK rakes in, you'd think they'd build at least one SGK cancer treatment center somewhere.

Dyson?
Die, son?

He's trying to gain cred with people who consider his religion to be just a couple degrees removed from Satanism and meanwhile he's burning his bridges with moderates and independents.

What's not to love about this story?

Beginning to suspect that part of reason for the LDS's prominent involvement in the California Prop H8 debate recently was to make Mormons more palatable to so-called Christian social conservatives (In a "See, we're 'real' Christians too cos we also hate teh gheys" kinda way) as part of a set up to Mitts run here.

Wow.. uh, did that actually happen? Certainly he's tone deaf enough to do it, but I'd think at least one of his advisors wants him to win.

He supports personhood amendment. He believes abortion and some forms of birth controll like the pill should be considered murder.

evidently there is an abundance of hollywood performers who travel the world to add to their litter...

surely planned murder could make a few calls...

whatever happen to bjs, no and birth control?

really...how stupid are women?

They make better grades...can do repetitive shiat more reliably...

what is wrong wit de wimmens?

an weese not talkin bout jungle fever degenerates here...

Boy, for a guy that actually sought out Planned Parenthood's endorsement, he sure has had a change of heart. Being from Mass, I have to say that Mitt was a good administrator as Governor, but the only memorable thing he did in this state was the health care mandate. If the G.O.P. is so much more principled than the Democrats, how can this guy, who is really a white Obama, get the nomination.

Wouldn't that make Romney twice as bad?

Corvus: He supports personhood amendment. He believes abortion and some forms of birth controll like the pill should be considered murder.

Romney believes whatever his algorithms have determined to be most beneficial at the moment. But I think he needs a firmware update or two before he's really ready to become the first android president.

From the looks of it, they were practicing backstage (see backwards flag).

Just a guess on my part.

Could be, they're spelling his name, and either the person with the 'R' on the shirt isn't there yet, and 'O' and 'M' are out of position.. but that still looks bad.

No, sorry, it is you who is out of touch with reality.

Once again.

Komen is an organization whose whole purpose is fighting cancer and you're trying to crucify them for even considering not paying their protection money to Planned Parenthood? What the HELL is wrong with you?

I assure you, Romney is not "out of touch", only the far left squirrels are on the side of Planned Parenthood in this, and that's because they've lost their damn minds.

"We don't care how benevolent your organization is or how much it has done to fight help find a cure for breast cancer... None of THAT matters! You BETTER keep the money flowing to Planned Parenthood or ELSE!"

Don't be so hard on Mitt. I'm sure he'll change his mind if he thinks you don't like his position.

Rapmaster2000: Don't be so hard on Mitt. I'm sure he'll change his mind if he thinks you don't like his position.

I doubt he'll change before the Primary is over. But then what? Is he going to pretend everything said in the last few years was a dream, like a season of Dallas?

There's plenty of other organizations that fight cancer that aren't also funding rightwing extremists.

Not to mention, it's pretty obvious that the leadership of Komen are liars. I don't like liars. Gutless, cowardly liars who can't just say, "We aren't going to fund PP because they do abortions." No, they have to cower behind "funding" and "investigations."

Gutless, cowardly liars.

2 things:
A) How is this 'out of touch' when he's running in the REPUBLICAN primary? Did you see the article w/the polls of republicans relating to PP? NOT supporting ANYTHING that goes against PP would be out of touch with his base.

B) I guarantee there are a large number of people who have no idea what the current kerfluffle is about and still have strong positive brand recognition of Komen. This is an issue that really riles up a relatively small, politically active base. A lot of those old ladies who actually DO those cancer walks? They'll still be out for donations later this year. They either won't know or won't care about this - they trust Komen BECAUSE it's a large charity with all the corporate backing that it has. It's popular so it has to do good after all, right?

Komen isn't going to crash and burn because they operate largely on low info voters and a VERY positive brand image. Call me when the NFL pulls sponsorship and I'll talk about an organization going down. Until then, this is a bump in the road, not a death knell.

/yes I support PP.
//No I don't agree with SGK's decision.

If the Republicans succeed in banning abortion and contraceptives, it will open up a whole new market niche for appliance manufacturers.
I can see the late-night "no fetus can beat us" commercials now...

That will be good for donations.

Hey, millionaire CEO's are totally just as expensive (and mission-critical) as well-equipped bricks-and-mortar clinics staffed by doctors and nurses. Don't be hating.

Just more reactionaries who know they are wrong; none of these shiatstains have the courage of their convictions. Hell, Eric Rudolph is probably the closest thing to an honest anti-choicer there is. He's a homicidal monster, but nobody can deny he took his opposition to a supposed "abortion holocaust" to its logical end.

randomjsa: protection money to Planned Parenthood

Oh God, Planned Parenthood is now the Abortion Mafia.

"This is a nice research foundation y'got here. Nice receptionist at the front door there. Five months pregnant... be a shame if something happened to her baby."

"No, please! I have our regular donations to you!"

"Good. Now get back to lookin' at titties."

The funniest part about all of this is that the angriest I have ever seen Mitt Romney was when his opponent for the MA governorship accused him of being pro life. He went on a 5 minute rant about how outrageous that was, how he had been pro choice for decades and always would be, and how he disavowed the support of pro life organizations.

I think the design on the woman's shirt is supposed to be an R.

In any case, it is a nice reminder from the Romney campaign that you can't spell Romney without money.

Well, at least someone at Komen leaked internal emails proving it was Karen Handel.

The "R" is there, that's the woman on the far left, that's their logo's version of his R (see picture below)... What looks like is the two tallest boys are flip flopped (*snickers*) by mistake, but it makes for a great photo.
