this is driving you crazy, isn't it? you can't stand talking about Romney's lack of qualifications.

Let's be fair, Mitt Romney is very qualified. He's more qualified than the last few Republican candidates. He's just qualified in all the ways the Republican party would like to deny. He was the governor of a liberal state that implemented an Obamacare-like health care system before Obama did. He was the head of a company that was successful while it made tons of money destroying jobs and tearing up companies. He's incredibly experienced in ways that he can't actually talk about because it would show how while the emperor is wearing clothes, they're clothes made of baby skin and singed flags.

I realize that he has never been a community organizer, but I think his experience as a successful business man and governor will suffice.

At least you didn't call him a successful governor. Because I don't know about you, but going from the mid-30s to 47th in job creation isn't a very successful term. In fact, I don't think Mitt has any idea about how to bring jobs to the US. His entire business experience was outsourcing and offshoring work.

well alrightie then, I'll accept that answer as well.

its just sad that Romney's best possible defense against confronting the facts of his actions is to...lie and change the subject. And we all can SEE him trying to backpedal. he can't even hide it from us. I guess he really is that weak a person.

I find this whole thing delicious.

Romney was CEO longer than he said he was. Official paperwork confirms that this is a fact. Romney farking lied, which is also a fact.

His successes as a businessman involved pillaging cash cows through tax arbitrage and dividend recapitalization to make, risk-free, a pile of money so large it would make Scrooge McDuck say "Whoa, Mitt, don't you think you have enough money?"

His successes as a governor involved implementing a health care reform bill that was used as the model for ObamaCare and cultivating job growth that rated 47th in the nation over his term.

We also need to talk more about how many Green Jobs Obama financed with our tax dollars that were outsourced. And while we're at it, how many jobs did Obama's Job Czar outsource? You know the guy, GE CEO and Obama croney Jeramy Imelt.

You know I've been watching the polls pretty closely and this Bain stuff really hasn't hurt Romeny that bad. As outrageous as his full Breitbart attacks are, they still may work...

Also, I wonder if we can arrange a trade. Romeny's tax returns for Obama's college transcripts ans writings.

jake_lex: I was kind of expecting Rmoney's campaign to implode, but I didn't think it would be quite this soon.

I was hoping for just after the convention, when it's too late for them to change candidates. But I'm not complaining.

Weaver95: Jackson Herring: Weaver95: Jackson Herring: Weaver95: not in this country. in this country, we ask questions and flip off anyone who tells us we should just meekly submit.

uhh who is the "we" you are referring to here

anyone not Republican, apparently. the GOP tends to encourage quiet submission to authority and demand total and unquestioning loyalty to their ideology and religion.

everyone else...not so much.

I guess what I am getting at is that maybe us dorks on the internet are like that, but not anyone in the actual media.

'the media' isn't as influential as they were 20 years ago. hell, the Occupy movement is proof enough of that.

the what?

Lost Thought 00: Well, his entire campaign is "I know how to run the country because I was a successful businessman". You can't choose that platform and then refuse to discuss the details of your time in business.

Without his time at Bain, Romney only has 2 selling points.

1) I was born rich
2) I brought the Olympics to Utah

And I haven't really heard much about his time at the Olympics, probably because he doesn't want to open that particular bag of bribery and corruption. So we are left with the "I'm Rich" argument.

He actually did a decent job with the Olympics, but his work there was basically focused on radically cutting costs, jacking up ticket prices, and schmoozing billionaires and the federal government until they gave him big checks to keep the whole operation afloat.

Too bad they can't enact better health care RIGHT NOW because I can only imagine there's a lot of scared Democrats calling their doctors to ask if they should be concerned that they've had an erection that's lasted more than 6 hours.

/seriously, there's 3 more months of this
//it's like watch Ali rope-a-dope some poor schlub until the final round where he just pummels him

It's got to kill liberals that Obama's presidency has been a complete failure from start to finish.

Obama "And now I'm going to talk about all the great things that happened during my first three and a half years ... *crickets chirping* ... uh ... um ... let's talk about Romney's completely legal finances, you should hate him."
