RMoney -- Cum Laude
Obama -- Magna Cum Laude

Does he really want to bring this up?

Why wont Rmoney release his college transcripts? What is he trying to hide?

I'm just asking questions!

Is he so out of touch that he doesn't know his entire biography is on the Internet and accessible in a few seconds? Or does he just think Republicans are dumb enough that they're not going to look up his college history?

I'm not sure it matters. From what I've seen a politician can say something and vast swathes of morons will believe him, if there's resistance he can just get Fox News to repeat it ad nauseum and they believe it.

This is a good point. They take whatever conservative media spoonfeeds them as gospel.

Obama also had to climb to the top of that ivory tower and didn't have it handed to him like Romney.

The one time when Romney didn't enjoy the privileges of being born with a silver spoon was when he was a Mormon missionary. But even then, he got sent to France (i don't think they choose) instead of say Africa... and all the while, he had the certainty than in two-years when he was done he'd go back to being rich.

I'm not saying that being born rich should disqualify someone from becoming president. Some rich people do use their position to become very educated and cultured (this should be demanded of rich people seeking office). But trying to paint the other guy as an elitist when your life has been one of unparalleled privilege is just so ridiculous. But hey... it worked for Bush!

Come on now, we're talking about people who believe the President is an illegal alien who wants to destroy the country and turn us into an Islamofascist socialist dictatorship. I mean, they're not joking. They really believe this crap and you can't convince them otherwise.

Except that it led to a deferment to avoid the Vietnam War draft, totaling one ministerial and two student deferments.

FTFA: Mitt Romney continued his verbal assault on President Obama on Thursday, accusing him of spending "too much time at Harvard" while speaking at a rooftop event in Harrisburg, Penn.

Huh, the Romneybot was in Harrisburg. I live in downtown Harrisburg and had no idea he was here. Any locals know which rooftop he was derping on?

Sillies- there is a huge difference between Mitt and Obama when it comes to Harvard. Obama went to Harvard to learn law so that he could use those skills to help his community. Mitt went to Harvard to learn business so he could use those skills to help himself. Obviously, Mitt is much more bootstrappy.

I dunno if it's so much that "those without a decent education mostly vote Republican". It's that folks who have never been taught to think critically about what they're told are more easily swayed by folks who have a single-minded world view and express that in a confident, no-nonsense manner.

In the recent past in the US, the Republicans have excelled at that (in addition to using those quotes to tell that same part of the electorate that their hardships are "someone else's fault", so if you elect a republican, they can fix that for you).

That and there's a population that believe they'll be rich some day, so they don't want the taxes of the rich to be higher.

/also, a surprising number of people who don't understand marginal tax rates

Mitt Romney is a serial liar. Anyone who has been paying even a small bit of attention to his campaign knows this. The man simply cannot stop lying. Repeatedly. Big, obvious, blatant lies. This plays fine right now during the primary because no one calls him on it (because the media is super liberal, you see), but it won't fly in a debate standing next to his opponent.

I think the lying is a symptom. Mr Romney has spent most of the last 10 years trying to become President. It is, apparently, his remaining goal of his existence and he's willing to do or say anything that allows it to be accomplished. This is, very probably, his very last chance at it.

Rmoney knows that even if he is called on a lie, the 24 hour news torrent will wash the issue away in a day or two. When it comes to issues that catch fire with the media, a lie is not even in the top 100, unless it's about sex.

Well we all know this stands for Most Super Neoliberal Bias Crap. They always make up the statistics to keep down those of us who have the leaning toward conservatism because they fear the truth of which we bring to others. If you are the liberal you probably are lying when the lips of you are moving because this is what the liberal does.

It's actually a known issue with RomnOS 3.0. Microsoft has announced a 3.01 patch release to fix that and a few other issues but there's no announced release date yet.

He really should fire his advisors if he is taking their advice in trying to call out anyone else as an elitist. Romney is the embodiment of elitist. It's almost embarrassing seeing him try to pretend to be a normal person. You're not, Romney, you're not normal in any sense and you can't relate to anyone who isn't a multi-millionaire or billionaire. I'd normally say "Play to your strengths" but I don't think he has any that will appeal to any sizable part of the electorate.

I'm sure that many upper crust white students feel that Obama was there for far too long.
 
2012-04-05 03:34:07 PM
So thus far we have Romney accusing Obama of implementing a socialist healthcare system, being a flip-flopper, and being a Harvard elitist.

I fully expect Romney's next move to be accusing Obama of being a Mormon who was Governor of Massachusetts and worked for Bain Capital.

Republicans are confounded by the fact that information exists for any amount of time in records that are easily searchable, and that such information might show other that the Republican in question is a goddamned liar and/or hypocrite.

See Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, etc...

The idea of a multi-hundred millionaire, that graduated from an ivy league school and has had everything in life given to him because of his last name and wealth, having the brass ones to call someone else an elitist is truly astounding.

I'm willing to give him a pass on this because it is so mindnumbingly stupid and pants on head retarded that I'm just dumbstruck he thought this was a reasonable idea.
 
2012-04-05 03:41:52 PM
His handlers have attributed the mistake to a rounding error in Romneybot's most recent firmware update.
