domino324: FTFA: "but there were questions that Governor Romney wanted to address to make sure people understood that he's not a felon,"

That's the kind of quote that can lose an election.

"I'm not a witch felon, I'm you."

dericwater: cameroncrazy1984: phritz: Adam West for President: I'm really curious about the SLC Olympics. Did he actually do a good job? Did he saddle the city/state with debt? What's the line on his work out there?

I'm an O-bot who's actively enjoying all the Schadenfreude here, but Romney actually did a very good job turning the olympics around. They were mired in scandal and debt and flailing miserably, and he cleaned everything up and made the whole thing run like a ruthless, effective machine. He really can't be faulted for that part of his resumé.

He cleaned it up by begging the federal government for hundreds of millions of dollars. Who's he going to get money from if he's President?

Two billion, according to McCain.

It was that high? Damn.

MFAWG: George Romney's 1968 campaign was done in by an epic gaffe, and this one may do Mitt in.

From wiki for George Romney Reporter Jack Germond joked that he was going to add a single key on his typewriter that would print, "Romney later explained

Like father like son.

In order to make all of this go away, Romney will need to hurry up and pick a VP. That would change the narrative in a second.

heavymetal: 3_Butt_Cheeks: Romney retroactively caused the Ice Age.

FTFY

Jeez, he can't even do that right.

Lost Thought 00: That would change the narrative in a second. Retroactively

Whether or not he lied is far from the most interesting aspect of this story.

It's the fact that Romney is actively trying to distance himself from his past as a corporate parasite as much as possible. He and his election team clearly understand that the longer Obama hammers him about his history of gutting American jobs, the more likely it is that he'll lose. Something tells me that this is just the beginning of a long line of farked up shiat that Romney has hidden.

It's strangely amusing because if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that ole Mitt doesn't like being called out on his sociopathic behavior; especially by those contemptible middle class peons that he's supposed to be in charge of. It almost seems like this election is a case of the chickens coming home to roost; sins of the past finally catching up with a dirtbag who made his fortune by destroying the lives of decent hard-working folks.

When you see "true radical community organizer form" in an article, you know there's derp ahead...

I keep mistaking that website for the Las Vegas Review Journal (Or LVRJ for short)

Well, since President Obama is losing big-time to Romney in fundraising and super-big-money donors to SuperPAC's are trying to pretty much outright buy the Presidency, he has to show no mercy politically if he wants to get re-elected.

Any dirt he can get on Romney, he'll use. If Rmoney actually did screw up and do something that was technically a felony a decade ago, he'll use that for everything he's worth.

This election is going to be about can you outright buy the Presidency if you have enough money, even though you're deeply, seriously flawed as a candidate with a number of skeletons in your closet.

I've noticed that he does tend to get really, I dunno, peeved on a personal level that people would do anything but accept his premise. How dare they not believe what he says? How dare his electoral opponent say he shouldn't get the job?

He is seriously butthurt today. It looks like he cracked in the Obama Responds thread. I think he broke something in his tiny little mind.

He couldn't handle it when we called him out on his bullsh*t degree claim.

Markoff_Cheney: i am noticing a lack of the usual threadshiatters. talking points not issued yet?
nope, they are just farked, no response.
and i thought the mccain campaign was the height of political weirdness, this is epic.

They're in another thread, going fully off the rails.

Wait nevermind, I have no idea where I am.

Karac: Mitt should just stand up and admit to running Bain. Just say that they were a business and their business was making money. Sometimes they bought companies that were in bad enough shape that the only way to make them profitable was to switch to cheaper foriegn labor. Then spin that into a spiel about how reducing regulations and government oppression will make the US a more business friendly land. Sell it not as shipping jobs overseas but instead as saving as many as you, or anyone possibly could have.

Pin the blame on Big Brother and move on, because absolutely no one is buying that you got paid $100,000 a year and told the SEC you were the big dick while at the same time having no idea or control of what was going on.

Too late!

"We wanted to get to the issue at hand, which is the economy and jobs ...
but there were questions that Governor Romney wanted to address to make
sure people understood that he's not a felon," Gillespie said.

soporific:
He might also be realizing that it's only going to get worse and worse, and he's going to have to be on constant defense about his time and Bain and his time as Governor. Two records he keeps trying to run from, but those are also his biggest administrative accomplishments. If he asks voters to ignore his time at Bain and as Governor, what does he have to run on? His commitment to conservative ideals?

Yeah, it's going to get worse.

It certainly seems so.

And really, any of you who count conservatives among your friends know one thing for sure. Most GOP supporters are essentially holding their noses and pulling the lever for Romney at the end of the day. Most of them simply don't like the guy very much; partially because they see him as someone who's not a true believer of the conservative faith, but mostly because the guy has the personality of a coffee stain and just doesn't inspire them very much.
