Mitt Romney: Your Next President...

...ial race loser.

FTFA: ...Massachusetts, where the state motto is literally "Abortions: Ain't Nothin' Wrong With That!"

So THAT's what ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem means!

Good luck explaining that one away, Mitt.

Long term, it's not going to matter to people who weren't going to vote for him anyways...

I imagine his own base, however, are going to have kittens.

That has to be the cutest happiest abortion ive seen all day, and I've been using GIS looking at them for hours now.

They were planted there by the left wing media machine and reverse vampires!

it must have been a business decision. Everyone knows that business decisions are sheltered from moral scrutiny.

cameroncrazy1984: Good luck explaining that one away, Mitt.

He just won't talk about it.

He was pro-choice when he made that investment.

Just like he was pro-individual mandate when he signed Romney-Care into law.

This story almost distracted me from the MASSIVE BANKING FRAUD.

How profitable could this kind of company be?

Seems like more of a nonprofit kind of thing...

Hollie Maea: cameroncrazy1984: Good luck explaining that one away, Mitt.

no need for Romney to be evasive, just blatantly lie like he always does.

He was going to destroy the business from the inside out. Just like the rest of them.

Meh, even if he was pro-abortion it's not a big deal. Morals-based investing is largely a loser. You invest in what makes money, and investing in fetus disposal apparently is a winner. It's not an endorsement of abortion, and even if you tried to make that leap, it's not like the company is doing the abortions, they're just the trash service.

Well; mitt : conservative :: orange: horse

/ that is all

They are all lying hypocrites.

_{so vote Obama}

This just in: Obama's mutual fund includes BP Oil, American Airlines, and Bear Stearns! He's basically responsible for the oil pipeline disaster, the World Trade Center attack, and the economic collapse! Get him!

Headso: [www.thinkgeek.com image 600x795]

I ordered a box of those. They're fairly bland, but good enough with a sharp cheese.

If this is true, it's bad for Romney for sure. Given, Obamacare uses taxpayer money to fund abortions, which is an order of magnitude worse than safely disposing of the remains afterwards, but I really wish we had a third option.

I really hope this just destroys him. If we still had journalists with integrity, they would be feasting off his smoking corpse right now.

Maddow and Stewart and Colbert will at least take some huge chunks out of him.

But the average moron here in the US wont even recall this in 5 months.

We live in Idiocracy.

Will the fundies have the same nuanced view of this as the above fark republican apologist though? I doubt it.

I used to think of Republicans as brilliant campaign strategists. The last couple of years they're really dropping off in talent. The Tea Party was a nice move and it provided a boost in the 2010 election, but ever since McCain unmavericked and Palin was selected it's been a real shiatshow at the national level.

They've got no enthusiasm, nobody wants to be VP (because they all think Mitt is losing), and now some more lousy vetting. Who's running the show over there?

Wendy's Chili: This doesn't mean shiat.

The only people who'd care get all their news from Fox, which will never bring it up.

It's fodder for Obama's campaign commercials, and many of those people will watch the MLB playoffs and the World Series -- which will take place right before the election.

Who cares? Really.

Wow. Just......wow. I'm not sure what kind of mental gymnastics the teabaggers are going to go through to defend/ignore this, but.....wow.

I really hope he goes full lulz with his VP pick. It's the only way it can get funnier now.

Doubleodoug: it must have been a business decision. Everyone knows that business decisions are sheltered from moral scrutiny.

Not true its just that true fiscal Republicans have no morals.

no need for Romney to be evasive, just blatantly lie like he always does.

He won't even need to do that. This story can't go anywhere: primary is over, so no GOP campaigns will bring it up. Democrats won't bring it up in an ad since they are not anti abortion and are scared of being called hypocrites. Romney is in full lock out mode and no longer will do any interviews apart from the occasional token Hannity interview, and he also is not doing press conferences or even answering rope line questions. No major media outlets will bring it up, because that's not what they do. From the primary debates we know that Romney won't even listen to the questions and just spout canned platitudes, and will get away with it. So a few blogs will repost the story. We'll talk about it here. A few people will rant on Twitter. And that's about it.

Although, I wouldn't put it past Romney taking this opportunity to blatantly lie about it, just because he enjoys doing so so much.

There's something down right sinister about this. What does he need all those fetuses for?

The odds are your basic MALE pro-lifer (oh yeah, think of those po' l'i'l bay-beeez) is also pro-war, pro-death penalty, anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-human rights once you are out of the womb. To top it off, they don't believe in global warming or evolution, too.

And they think it is the government's business where you put your dick, but not if an industry is destroying the economy or environment.

Basically, your usual worthless right-wing retrograde that wants to keep us in the dark ages.

I'm pretty sure the dumnbfark conservatives and navel-gazing Republicans will convince themselves that Romney bought stock in the company with the sole intention of destroying it to make Jesus happy in the war against socialism.

You know? Just like Reagan would have done.

People are so one side or the other these days that it doesn't matter if Mitt Romney came out and said he was a gay socialist who hates Jesus. As long as he has that R by his name he'll get the conservative vote. People treat politics like sports. You pick your favorite team and even if it's bad for the country you still stick by them. When you win it gives you a feeling of accomplishment and sense of power that your views are better than the other half the nation. I wonder if democracies with more than 2 dominant parties have this as well? With more choices, it would seem like people would see some gray area and not be so hell bent on one side having all the answers and the other side representing everything you don't like.

It means Romney was profiting from baby-killing, taking blood money over preserving life like he states he always supported and now has baby-blood money in his Presidential campaign. What does that say about his morals?

My theory is that they've finally figured out just how little the American people are paying attention (actually I think Rove was the first to realize it back in 98 but that's another story).

Some insider from the Romney camp said this weekend that they're only going to appear on right wing talk shows. I'll bet they'll get away with it too.

Hey, we finally found a company that Romney didn't outsource!

Meanwhile, the GOP is digging through Obama's elementary school homework for grammatical errors, misspellings and socialism.

Well, Mitt is actually against abortion, see... He founded this aborted fetus recycling company to profit off the heathens' sinful actions against God and funnel those profits into anti-abortion campaigns. Once Mitt's always intended ultimate goal of eliminating abortions was realized, the company would turn into a soft serve ice cream distributor serving cones to less fortunate youths throughout the Northeast region. See how that works? Brilliant!

Nope. His base will look at this and decide one of several things:

1. It is not true, it is a hit piece by the MSM.
2. It is not true, it is a hit piece by Obama.
3. It is not true, the financial filings are a forgery by the aforementioned Obama and or MSM
4. It is not true, the financial filings are obviously photoshopped, and we know photoshops when we see them thanks to our review of Obama's fake birth certificate.
5. It is not true, Obama and/or the MSM and Chief Justice John Roberts used Obummer's time machine to make forgeries using future tech that are indistinguishable from the originals, hence the reason why we can't prove these are forgeries.
6. It is not true, Satan placed those certificates in Mitt Romney's sock drawer to fool scientists.


You folks around here never cease to amaze me at what you think will suddenly change these people's minds. Do you think stupidity, mental illness, greed and fear are suddenly going to vanish in the harsh light of reality. Sit down in person with these lunatics and talk to them. Find out where they're coming from. No amount of truth, reality, proof or science is going to sway these people. Get over it--they're out there, they cannot be reasoned with, and they absolutely will not stopp until they have herped their last derp. Seriously, stop thinking stuff like this is going to work. You are underestimating them and you're underestimating the amount of damage they can do if you think they are going to magically change their ways.

Not to get all rational or anything, and I think Mitt is as big a joke as the next Farker, but it seems unlikely that this company specializes in fetus disposal (and I'm too lazy to look it up). However, medical waste disposal is a necessary and vital service - livers, feet, blood... did you think they put that stuff down the garbage disposal? Fetuses are probably 1 thousandth of one percent of their business, and if you still have a problem with that then that's your right. But I would bet this article is Fox News-level misleading.

I was going to go with "does he still have 'R' after his name?" but your point is also a good one

It's just amazing how so many of the anti-Romney people are jumping on the headline - when the company is just a medical waste disposal company that collects medical waste from a large number of hospitals and clinics.

Here's a bit of conspiracy theory for you: the Wikipedia entry for Stericycle had "abortion clinics" added to its list of clients on May 13th. By an anonymous editor.

Of course, if Stericycle refused to collect waste from abortion clinics, the story would be "Romney helps block essential women's health services."

I hate all politicians. And i hate all those political ads on radio and television.

I am voting for myself in the next election.

Researcher: Mittens being pro-life and all family goody goody and arguing that there is indeed good money to be made in dead baby disposal, cuz hey, if someone's going to make money off abortions it should be him... because.......... capitalism?

If there's money to be made in disposing of dead children, it's better the money go to someone who abhors the death of infants, rather than enjoys it. Romney was only keeping that money out of the hands of child-murderers. When abortion is finally aborted, Romney will be able to walk away from that money source with no cares, knowing he has prevented murder-profiteering and kept dollars out of the hands of evil men. And don't forget Romney tithes that money, so it was doubly effective, first being removed from evil and secondly turned towards good.

Romney is a shining beacon of spirituality and should not be questioned. He is better than you in every measurable way and is not to be interrobanged by the likes of you and your ilk. The libbo-creeps will rant and rave as they always do, and it won't matter. Come November, God's will on Earth will be done, not Allah's, and you lefties (left is sinister, coincidence, i htink not) will just have to practice your wailing for when Jesus returns and you all spend eternity in the Pit of Fire.

Interestingly enough, when I did a google search to see if this story had hit Free Republic yet, I learned that while they aren' talking about it today, It WAS a BFD to them during the primary and touted as a reson to vote for Gingrich or Santorum.

Be interesting to see if thier tune changes now

I honestly don't know why they should. If you're a vegan and also a prominent investor, do you not invest in Consolidated Disposal because they dispose of waste from Safeway, which may include unsaleable eggs, meat, and milk?

Since the beginning of the Republican primaries, I've been saying that the Republican field/candidate/platform in 2012 is very analogous to the Democrats in 2004. Run, on the "anybody but" platform, pick an extremely luke warm candidate (and then later find lots of skeletons in his closet) and (likely at this point) lose an election which could have been easily won by a stronger candidate, better platform, etc.

/Don't think Obama's a shoe-in by any means

Well, Mitt was "movin' on up" at the time, he finally got a piece of the pie.

Everyone knows you're not supposed to dispose of aborted fetuses. That's just creepy. What you're supposed to do is keep them in a jar at home and take them to bed with you.

So hold on, Romney, who is Pro-Life, was the baby-killing disposal business (literally)?

HA HA HA HA!

You just cannot pay enough for this kind of entertainment. I mean, President Obama has been taking a beating for four years, he is entirely beatable. And the Republicans somehow manage to put up the one guy who is quite possibly the most hypocritical, lying, greedy and un-American person I've seen in politics. And we're talking American politics here.

Yeah, I had to work with a bunch of these winners at my last job. They won't deny the GOP has flaws. The way it works is that there's a built-in mechanism that the GOP are the gold standard. So whatever they do, the Dems are worse. Let me repeat that for emphasis: A right-winger's perspective of politics starts with a fixed, unshakable mindset that the GOP is the best party in America. To a right-winger, pointing out a flaw in the GOP only proves how much worse the Dems are. This is where the phrase "so vote Republican" gets its meaning. They are not implying the two parties are the same. They are implying that exposing the crimes of the GOP does nothing to the original equation of GOP > Dems.

If Romney is exposed as a hypocrite, that's proof that Obama is worse. It doesn't matter that there needs to be something Obama did to make this conclusion logical. They rationalize it as, he (or rather the "liberal media") has to be hiding something. So the worse Romney looks, the worse they decide Obama is. They are actually quite flexible on considering Romney's imperfections. What you can't get around is that the difference between the GOP and the Dems is fixed. Romney could eat a living fetus on live TV and they'll only conclude that's proof how bad politicians are in general, and then figure that Obama has somehow done something worse that the "liberal" media won't talk about. I'm serious; there is no limit to this because there's nothing logical about it. It doesn't matter how far-right the media gets; "liberal media" is part of the equation that allows them to arbitrarily decide that whatever the GOP does pales in comparison to hypothetical crimes by Dems that not even Fox will expose.

Let me put it in the plainest terms possible: The two parties aren't political groups; they're cults.

Why would this possibly destroy him? A medical waste company his firm invested in did business with facilities that performed abortions, and as a result disposed of dead fetus guts?

Who would be outraged by this? People who would prefer the dead baby parts be thrown out on the sidewalk? Maybe I'm out of touch politically but that would seem like a demographic neither side would be trying to entertain.

Jabberwookiee: Everyone knows you're not supposed to dispose of aborted fetuses. That's just creepy. What you're supposed to do is keep them in a jar at home and take them to bed with you.

hee hee. just be careful not to let the neighbor handle the jar.

Well who cares. It isn't like all those fetuses are WHITE children.

If I were to invest in a company that cleaned up murder scenes or in a crematory that disposed of murder victims, does that make me a supporter of murder?

Yeah, I had to work with a bunch of these winners at my last job. They won't deny the GOP has flaws. The way it works is that there's a built-in mechanism that the GOP are the gold standard. So whatever they do, the Dems are worse. Let me repeat that for emphasis: A right-winger's perspective of politics starts with a fixed, unshakable mindset that the GOP is the best party in America. To a right-winger, pointing out a flaw in the GOP only proves how much worse the Dems are. This is where the phrase "so vote Republican" gets its meaning. They are not implying the two parties are the same. They are implying that exposing the crimes of the GOP does nothing to the original equation of GOP > Dems.

If Romney is exposed as a hypocrite, that's proof that Obama is worse. It doesn't matter that there needs to be something Obama did to make this conclusion logical. They rationalize it as, he (or rather the "liberal media") has to be hiding something. So the worse Romney looks, the worse they decide Obama is. They are actually quite flexible on considering Romney's imperfections. What you can't get around is that the difference between the GOP and the Dems is fixed. Romney could eat a living fetus on live TV and they'll only conclude that's proof how bad politicians are in general, and then figure that Obama has somehow done something worse that the "liberal" media won't talk about. I'm serious; there is no limit to this because there's nothing logical about it. It doesn't matter how far-right the media gets; "liberal media" is part of the equation that allows them to arbitrarily decide that whatever the GOP does pales in comp ...

Well, one of them is (a cult).

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me.

I know, I've tried to deal with them." - Barry Goldwater

You just cannot pay enough for this kind of entertainment. I mean, President Obama has been taking a beating for four years, he is entirely beatable. And the Republicans somehow manage to put up the one guy who is quite possibly the most hypocritical, lying, greedy and un-American person I've seen in politics. And we're talking American politics here.

Fetuses are probably 1 thousandth of one percent of their business, and if you still have a problem with that then that's your right. But I would bet this article is Fox News-level misleading.

I think we just figured out how to get this into the Media and create backlash for it against Romney.

Have planned parent hood endorse Romney, and thank him for "all the years of service his investments and companies have provided in making sure that we could perform all those abortions, and dispose of those unwanted fetuses in a safe, biologically sound manner. Without him, none of our work would have been possible."

I can just see the massive exploding heads now...

Wendy's Chili: This doesn't mean shiat.

The only people who'd care get all their news from Fox, which will never bring it up.

Even if the Fox viewers did know about it, they would still vote for Mitt.

Because the guy he is running against is a negro.

LeroyBourne: There's something down right sinister about this. What does he need all those fetuses for?

Dried and powdered fetuses make an excellent thickening agent, and are used in all McDonalds shakes, except for the Shamrock Shakes (which are, as expected, thickened with potato starch).

I don't like Mittens, but Stericycle is a gigantic company that disposes of all kinds of medical waste. If you ever see one of those red sharps containers at a flu shot clinic or doctor's office, they are probably going to stericycle.

Its not like Mittens started a company that exclusively collects hefty bags full of fetuses outside of planned parenthoods and throws them on a big smoldering fire somewhere.

mauricecano: Wendy's Chili: This doesn't mean shiat.

The only people who'd care get all their news from Fox, which will never bring it up.

It means Romney was profiting from baby-killing, taking blood money over preserving life like he states he always supported and now has baby-blood money in his Presidential campaign. What does that say about his morals?

You don't get it--he's still not black.

Not to defend a GOPer and all, but how does owning a medical waste disposal company mean you support abortion? Whether or not you believe in abortion, the human tissue vacuumed out of someone's hooha needs to be disposed of properly. Induced abortion fetus bits were probably just a small fraction of the human bits the company handled. Most abortions end up on a menstrual pad and in the garbage. Is the company supposed to sort through still births/ectopic pregnancies/molar pregnancies verses elective abortions?

The people trying to asplain his involvement need to understand that the people this information is targeting are people who believe the world is 6000 years old and jesus rode a dinosaur not the farkers in here you are trying to reason with. We think he sucks because of things like his tax plan and the fact that his party is extremist and dangerous.

I am a huge steaming pile of liberal who thinks Mitt Romney is an evil robotic used car salesman from the future, and this is a total bullshiat story...

Abortion is legal...
Investing is legal...
I'm pro-choice...

/I really want a fetus bike now...

As someone who works in the recycling and waste industry...what a farking crock of narrow definition BS!!!

Stericycle also hauls MILLIONS of tons of bio contaminated waste each year for incineration including: gallbladders, tumors, intestines and fat from liposuction, uterii from hysterecomies, blood filled sponges etc... but of course focusing on fetuses is a better way to slap a pro-life guy.

Johnny Swank: Wow. Just......wow. I'm not sure what kind of mental gymnastics the teabaggers are going to go through to defend/ignore this, but.....wow.

Considering they still believe that Sarah Palin is the person she claims to be after seeing this, I'd say there is no limit to the mental gymnastics these people are capable of. Count the number of things that send up red flags in just the first minute of that video. Anybody who's ever hunted, or even knows how to handle a firearm should be horrified by that, and should also know that she's a fraud.

Plus, Romney was a pro-choice, soon-to-be governor of Massachusetts, where the state motto is literally "Abortions: Ain't Nothin' Wrong With That!"

You keep using that word...

bhcompy: Meh, even if he was pro-abortion it's not a big deal. Morals-based investing is largely a loser. You invest in what makes money, and investing in fetus disposal apparently is a winner. It's not an endorsement of abortion, and even if you tried to make that leap, it's not like the company is doing the abortions, they're just the trash service.

yeah but when you tell the pro life group that it's economically better for the country to not add all those unwanted/unneeded kids to the population they look at you like you're a demon or something.

You're thinking about this like a reasonable, logical human being.

Think about it like someone who thinks that there should be laws in place preventing any federal research funding to any lab that also does stem cell research in the same facility.

The whole point is that it's time to start using these retards' own tactics against them. Of course you're right and his complete ownership stake in this medical waste company doesn't mean he supports abortion. But Fark him, if he gets elected president he'd be the first person in line saying that Planned Parenthood shouldn't get funding for mammogram screenings because they also provide abortions. Shoot, I bet he already has.

That's the point. It's time to stop treating conservatives with kid gloves and being the bigger man, and time to start treating them in the exact same way that they treat everyone else.

ox45tallboy: People like Obama because he offers a vision for the country that most can get behind.

People still like Obama? The guy's thrown his own base under the bus so many times the wheels are locked from guts jammed in them.

The cult-like aspects of the far left are their irrational fear of the unknown -- they're a cult of superstition. They support education and research politically, which is commendable, but they will actively refuse to read up on any topic if there's a risk it involves reversing a stance. For example, when it comes to nuclear power they're still stuck in 1986. When it comes to vaccination it seems they've regressed all the way to the 1830s. They still seem to think Native Americans live in the Stone Age. When it comes to economics, well. . . they're just as ignorant as the right so I'd like to call it a wash, though it really just means we're farked no matter who's in charge. Organized, stubborn narrow-mindedness in the face of evidence; that's cult-like behavior.

If there's a reason why the liberals are ahead at all, it's that they still have a relatively large moderate population. The GOP is the far right, with active efforts in the party to eradicate all moderation. The far left are a minority even among Democrats. The problem is that they are also by far the active and vocal. Meanwhile, the party in D.C. is still run by corporatists who are every bit as closed, cult-like and creepy as the Republicans. They express outright disdain for their base and act on their campaign promises with childish reluctance.

Remember how the right cheered Santorum for having a funeral for his miscarried baby? Yeah. It's not "human tissue" to them. They are little people. The way that they "dispose of people is to have a funeral. Unless Romney was running a funeral home for little people, there is no justification for profiting off of the disposal of dead babies.

CthulhuCalling: davidphogan: I really hope he goes full lulz with his VP pick. It's the only way it can get funnier now.

/Wouldn't be so hot for the state of the actual country, though.

dragonchild: When it comes to vaccination it seems they've regressed all the way to the 1830s.

To be fair, painting all liberals with the "anti-vaccine" brush is like painting all conservatives with the "birther" brush. It's an oversimplification of an extremely complex political spectrum.

LiberalEastCoastElitist: how does owning a medical waste disposal company mean you support abortion?

Overturning Roe v. Wade would crash the value of his own investment. Ergo, he can be personally against abortion, but isn't likely to do anything about it. That defeats the purpose of manufacturing single-issue voters.

The thing is, if the GOP was ever going to overturn Roe v. Wade it would've been back in 2002-2003 when they all but owned the country. They could've put it in the Patriot Act and drafted the bill as a Constitutional Amendment for all anyone cared; almost no one took the time to read the damn thing and they passed it 357-66 & 98-1. But what was always implicitly obvious now has some evidence to go with it. These guys need their single-issue voters to stay angry. They will never overturn Roe v. Wade, and not because they can't.

Not that I really care about this particular detail of Romney's portfolio, but there you go.

CheekyMonkey: LeroyBourne: There's something down right sinister about this. What does he need all those fetuses for?

Dried and powdered fetuses make an excellent thickening agent, and are used in all McDonalds shakes, except for the Shamrock Shakes (which are, as expected, thickened with potato starch).

So that's what makes those little farkers so tasty. I live near one, and I'll sometimes redbox a movie. I just can't help myself to grab a small one, maybe a small fetus reward to myself after a hard days work. I deserve it after all.

Not as creepy as a Santorum dead baby fest.

I'll bet he's not even giving these babies a proper Christian burial

dragonchild: "The two parties aren't political groups; they're cults."

Bullshiat.
Sure, you find devotees and operatives of both parties touting the party line.

But the GOP party line has moved far to the right. It preaches nothing *but* ideological purity and practices only unwavering loyalty to party over country. It just lambasted the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for only handing them *most* of what they wanted, because he didn't overturn decades of established precedent to find unconstitutional a law *designed and written by Republicans a mere 20 years ago*.

The Democratic Party, on the other hand, has been moving to the center over the last 40 years. They have nothing in the same ballpark as the GOP's ideological operations. The Democratic Party pushed "the End of Welfare as We (Knew) It". The Democratic Party put up offers to make substantial Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security cuts in the last budget brouhaha. The Democratic Party abandoned their own health care initiative and adopted *in its entirety* a 'market-based' plan first floated by Nixon, fleshed out by the Goddamm Heritage Foundation and first field-tested in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney.

So tell me how it is that you can, with a straight face, say the Democrats are 'a cult' in even *remotely* the same way as the Republican Party?

propasaurus: Carn: Since the beginning of the Republican primaries, I've been saying that the Republican field/candidate/platform in 2012 is very analogous to the Democrats in 2004. Run, on the "anybody but" platform, pick an extremely luke warm candidate (and then later find lots of skeletons in his closet) and (likely at this point) lose an election which could have been easily won by a stronger candidate, better platform, etc.

/Don't think Obama's a shoe-in by any means
//But re-election seems very likely at this point

Just curious, what 'skeletons' did you find in Kerry's closet in '04?

Well they made a huge deal about the medal and tried to equate him with Jane Fonda aka Satanic commie libral scum. I don't think Kerry was as bad of a candidate as Romney, but they could have done better.

I wish they could have shown more light on this when the primary was still on. That would have surly sunk him hard with the fetus hugging Conservatives. A Sanatorium presidential race would have been hilarious.

ringersol: So tell me how it is that you can, with a straight face, say the Democrats are 'a cult' in even *remotely* the same way as the Republican Party?

First off, don't confuse "liberals" with "Democrats". I'm sure many liberals would make it very clear there's a distinction. Now, with that difference in mind, try to get elected for federal office in a "big" blue state (Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, California) without the DLC's permission. Not saying it never happens, but they really, really hate it when it does.

The grassroots is certainly more diverse, but that's also why their leaders hate them so much. ACORN basically delivered the election for Obama and were they eternally grateful? Hah! They were happy to abandon them to GOP slander. Why? Because they didn't drink the Kool-Aid. The Democrats would rather lose elections than be held accountable by voters they can't control.

The Dems are a cult; they're just not good at it because they can't exercise the same control over liberals as the GOP does with fundamentalists. When they do, they lose. They didn't offer cuts to healthcare reform as a compromise; Obama himself tossed the goddamn bill to the Republicans. They're every bit as corporatist as the GOP and their effort to impose their campaign donors' will on the base is what sent approval for HCR and Obama into freefall.

Just because the Democrats are thoroughly incompetent at running their cult doesn't mean it isn't one. You should be glad that at least liberals aren't beholden to a political party.

You don't know enough businessmen. Romney says he'll lower taxes, cut welfare, save the economy, end illegal amnesty, stop abortion, and take back the country for good Christians, which makes him their own personal Jesus for this election cycle. It's pretty doubtful that he can come through on those new promises any better than Obama did on his (so maybe one or two at most, half-assed), but they desperately want to believe.

Now, for sure, every one of those supporters has to willfully blind themselves to Romney's entire record, but that's never been difficult in politics, so they find plenty of reasons to like him and invent the ones even he won't promise.

Well, someone has to collect all those fetuses that Dick Cheney uses for his daily longevity treatments (breakfast). Mitt has himself a goldmine I tells ya.

And in other news, grass is green, water is wet, and Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Changing one's moral and ethical positions does not equal purposely lying and stating he had absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the specific company in question.

See the difference? He farking knows his moral and ethical position (or more frankly his lack of one) was an issue in this case when it came up during the primary, so instead of just changing it (or adopting one) he just goes to his default "Lie my ass off" mode.

Just like he always does. The guy lies so brazenly and often this wouldn't even be noteworthy at this point if the particular lie wasn't directed at to his own party's base in the middle of what was still a competitive primary about one of their most sacrosanct issues.

bhcompy: Meh, even if he was pro-abortion it's not a big deal. Morals-based investing is largely a loser. You invest in what makes money, and investing in fetus disposal apparently is a winner.

I honestly don't know why they should. If you're a vegan and also a prominent investor, do you not invest in Consolidated Disposal because they dispose of waste from Safeway, which may include unsaleable eggs, meat, and milk?

If you're running for President on your record as a vegan, you'd have to be pretty stupid to invest in such a company.

But maybe we don't really need our President to be smart, hmmm?

I don't know about you guys, but the Bermuda based Bain affiliate bugs me a lot more than the fetus disposal company. OK, so the guy clearly has no problem claiming to be the opposite of what he is, but this off-shoring/tax sheltering bullshiat has got to stop. As President, will a guy like that put your welfare before his own or his rich country club buddies. Obviously not.

This is probably par for the course though. No one who makes it to the Presidency is anything but a classist asshole who believes the rich are ordained to be rich and the poor are to be used and thrown away as necessary. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

But the average moron here in the US wont even recall this in 5 months.

Who can remember last month's scandfal? They come and go so fast it makes my head spin, and I am no moron.

For the easy straight line - you're welcome.

Carn: Since the beginning of the Republican primaries, I've been saying that the Republican field/candidate/platform in 2012 is very analogous to the Democrats in 2004. Run, on the "anybody but" platform, pick an extremely luke warm candidate (and then later find lots of skeletons in his closet) and (likely at this point) lose an election which could have been easily won by a stronger candidate, better platform, etc everyone has been saying "will you look at the GOP field?!? Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Perry, Romney?!? HOLY F*CK WHERE ARE THE STRONG CANDIDATES? THIS IS A CLOWN SHOW

FTFY

Stile4aly: Fart_Machine: Fetus Disposal Company would make a great band name.

dragonchild: "Just because the Democrats are thoroughly incompetent at running their cult doesn't mean it isn't one. "

So the part where the only thing approaching the "ideology" of the Democratic Party has changed over the years -- has, in fact, responded to data (certain social programs really don't work. outsourcing certain government work to private bids really does work. etc) -- has no bearing on whether you define them as a cult?

You're just going to repeat the idea, conflate some right-wing crackpot fantasies with reality (ACORN, really?) and call it a day?

What exactly makes them a cult? Is it the way they try to discredit research, stigmatize education, bury inconvenient facts under a waterfall of lies and misinformation and paper over history? Can you dig up even a single example of that? Is it the way they punish anyone for violating some sacred party tenets? Again, good luck finding evidence of it.

While you're at it: feel free to even *define* what those tenets might be. FFS the Democratic Party doesn't even lean on its *pro-life* members.

So what is it?
Just a pseudo-intellectual desire to appear "above it all" by painting both parties with the same brush so that you can justify your disinterest and defeatism?

lol they are attacking each other!

What meds are you on, FRiend? You may want to get together with your doctors and/or pharmacists and check on dosage and compatibility. You're usually not foaming at the mouth like this, so I have to assume there's some underlying cause. I'm totally serious.
