I love Romney, it's like he's going out of his way to make sure all of the attacks used against Obama in the '08 election are invalid this time around. You can't take Mitt seriously if he says Obama is an out of touch elitist. Mitt can't say that Obama has done nothing with his time in office, while knowing HCR was based on Mass. You can't possibly say he's weak on foreign policy, in fact he can't bring it up at all because all he has done is piss off other nations. Any possible (and obviously fallacious) comments about his religion have to be avoided because that opens the door on questions about being Mormon and where his loyalties lie. God I want the debates to start soon. Granted Obama could win just by letting Romney talk for both their turns, but it'd be nice to see an active offense as well.
God Bless you Mitt, you out-of-touch, money grubbing, un-reliable asshole. The democrats have never looked so good and they had PAlin to help last time.

CapHuff: I'm an old guy. I am a Republican. I don't care if you disagree with me. I like to argue politics with open minded people. I haven't been on this site for quite a while. There used to be a lot of back and forth. Now it seems to be the mirror of a right-wing freeper site. That is too bad. I am voting against President Obama's attempt to serve two terms because I do not believe it is in America's best interest to have the government redistribute wealth. IMHO, what made this country is opportunity, and the fact that if you work hard your background does not matter. The failed policies of FDR and LBJ have not helped the poor, just the opposite. I do not believe that anyone should be receiving a tax refund for more tax than they had withheld. The government is not your Daddy. I have five kids, not a lot of money to go around. Once my kids grew up, they took care of themselves. They are not counting on the government or Daddy. Whatever - if you gotta hate, hate the opposing candidate. But don't hate people just because you disagree with them. I voted against this guy, but he got elected. He sucks at his job, in my opinion, but I don't hate him. I didn't even hate Jimmy Carter, who was worse than this guy, and he wasn't even a Kenyan! I did hate Clinton for a while when it was clear he was a liar, but I also hated Nixon when it was clear he was a liar so I have no guilt about that. You guys laugh at the idiotic mindless froth ITA, but in my reading of the comments in this thread, I see no real difference.

When all is said and done, a flourishing economy is what will make things better. President Obama has failed to improve the economy. While increasing the national debt by going on 5 trillion dollars. His predecessor was a total boob. His opponent is a total nerd. If there is anything your generation should understand, it is that the really nerdy guys (admission: poster is an engineer) but the nerdy guys know how to fix things. President is and has been ...

thornhill: The ultimate effect of this will be that it's another week the media is talking about something other than the jobless rate, economy, etc, and Romney is rapidly running out of weeks.

There's exactly 7 weeks to go until the election, by my count. By the time the news cycle is finished digesting these latest unflattering statements, we'll be down to 6 weeks. That's not a lot of time. There's still three presidential debates to go, but this is not the trajectory of a winning campaign.

SERIOUS QUESTION: Republicans - you had a good argument going with the whole "we pay too much taxes" angle. I disagreed, but at least you had a message. Now you're complaining that people aren't paying ENOUGH taxes. This is the exact opposite of what you've been saying for the past three years. So now I'm confused: Are you happy for the 47% who don't pay Federal income tax because you're against taxes, or are you mad at them because you LIKE taxes and you want people to pay more?

CapHuff: I am an engineer. State college. Government sponsored student loans. "You didn't build that" was a dumb thing to say, but has some validity.

Fair call. I can respect your honesty in admitting that you have benefited from the government in some way.
There's a lot of people like you who benefit from government aid, either directly or indirectly, yet blather on about "wealth redistribution". Upon what leg do you stand when you say that? Or is it more like "wealth redistribution to people I don't like?"

That phrase is just meaningless. Tax revenue circulates. It's how the whole system works.

Because children are the future. Obviously.

/Have one. Love him to death even when he drives me to distraction.
//More seriously: because we have a social contract that says that I pay a little less tax now while I bear the cost of raising my child, who will more than pay that back when his taxes are supporting your and my Medicare and Social Security.
///Or would you prefer that my child file for himself as "Single, not head of household"?

Nadie_AZ: James!: I think that if Romney had said these same things in front of the Republican Convention it wouldn't have been half as controversial.  Or at least people would be quicker on the defense.

I'm watching it, now. It is not as damning as some were suggesting. This isn't campaign ending. It is just more wood on the fire in bringing it down.


This is damning. This should be the final nail.

Questioner: When Carter was president, we had hostages. Ronald Reagan was able to make a statement even before he became, he was actually sworn in, and the hostages were released...

Mitt Romney: On the day of his inauguration.

Questioner: Right. So my question is really how can you sort of duplicate that scenario?

Romney: I appreciate the idea. One of the things that's frustrating to me: in a typical day like this, when I do three or four events like this, the number of foreign policy questions I get is between zero and one. And the American people are not concentrated at all on China, on Russia, Iran, Iraq, and this President's failure to put in place a status of forces agreement allowing ten to twenty thousand troops to stay in Iraq- unthinkable! And yet, in that election, in the Jimmy Carter election, the fact that we had hostages in Iran, I mean, that was all we talked about. And we had the two helicopters crash in the desert, I mean, that was the focus, and so him solving that made all the difference in the world. I'm afraid today that if you simply got Iran to agree to stand down on nuclear weapons, they'd go, "Now hold on. It's really a- "I mean, if something of that nature presents itself I will work to find a way to take advantage of the opportunity.

No, they are very specific and careful here... *those people* don't pay enough taxes. here those is very dynamic. What matters is that *we* pay too much they would say, and *they* don't pay enough. It let's them keep their righteous indignation. .

This isn't the trajectory of a paper friggin' airplane - you can at least keep those things in the air for the length of a gymnasium.

The real problem here is that Romney is being himself, and his handlers can't spin it otherwise, because it's obvious in both parts of that video that Romney's being himself. He's pandering to an audience, telling them what they want to hear, when they want to hear it, because they're going to give him money to do so.

Romney, in that video, is the political whore we know him to be, and what truly scares me about the possibility of a Romney presidency is that, as with any other political whore, he's for sale to the bidder that can give him the most for his services.

He won't be serving, or servicing, you. You don't count. He'll be servicing the folks in that room, the high-rollers, the big-wigs, the only people that matter in his world. You're just consumer units, there to make the folks in that room, including him, rich. Why would anyone elect him?

No, he must show up to the first one. Otherwise there's no point in the others as it's practically forfeiting the election. His only choice is to answer the questions with exactly the party line talking points, refuse to be goaded or answer any questions from OBama, inject no personality into the debates. He has a hair of a chance if he becomes the recital robot we remember him being before he turned out to be such an utter cocksicle.

Weaver95: feeding people is apparently an 'entitlement' now. that's mind boggling. look, even if you want to believe that you've got a moral right to starve people to death in order to save yourself a few bucks come tax day, you still have to admit that letting people die of starvation is REALLY BAD for maintaining social order. people tend to fight against a slow death while watching some rich fat white guy roll by stuffing his face with a double bacon cheeseburger and a nice chianti.

That's the one line that drives me screen-punching insane. That one line from the same cock sucking asshole who has a tax deduction for a DRESSAGE HORSE.

1. Health Care
2. Food
3. Housing

These are things for which we should strive as a nation to not have shortages of in 21st century America. I'm not going to say it's possible, but it should be the goal of this country and it's people to provide these things in whatever ways that can be managed.

The fact people die because of lack of food, shelter, or health care should be an outrage to any candidate wishing to lead this country. Those people shouldn't be grouped together and declared beyond help because you're policies do nothing but dick them over and they won't vote for you as a result.

I say this in complete honesty: I farking hate Mitt Romney. I hate him personally. I hate what he stands for. I hate his attitude towards people of all walks of life. I straight up hate the man, and I hope he fails in such an embarassing fashion he won't even be able to fill Sarah Palin's spot as a guest speaker on Fox when this is all said and done.

coco ebert: I don't think so. I think Romney's voters will pretty much support him no matter what. I don't think it will gain him independent voters but it won't lose him many either. However, it may fire up the Obama base who need to turn out to vote in November.

Romney being a disgusting pig is making me more inclined to vote for Obama and less inclined to vote third party.

Weaver95: this is the part that just floors me:

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what...These are people who pay no income tax.

feeding people is apparently an 'entitlement' now. that's mind boggling. look, even if you want to believe that you've got a moral right to starve people to death in order to save yourself a few bucks come tax day, you still have to admit that letting people die of starvation is REALLY BAD for maintaining social order. people tend to fight against a slow death while watching some rich fat white guy roll by stuffing his face with a double bacon cheeseburger and a nice chianti.

The thing is, even if Romney/Ryan followed the Ryan plan to a T, it wouldn't actually reduce the debt substantially. The "fiscal hawk" plan the GOP loves so much doesn't actually even get rid of the deficit until 2052, let alone pay down debt. Sure it slashes spending, but the plan also slashes top-tier taxes. If you're serious about fixing the economy and debt, Obama may not be your guy, but neither is Romney. Your share of the national debt may be over 50k, but Romney thinks his share is 0.

ExperianScaresCthulhu: You need better friends.

/birds of a feather
/and lying down with dogs....


Here's my thing: I don't hang out with people bobbing head agreeing types, I tend to hang out with people of differing views to get more informed on subjects. Sure, I don't agree with what my friend said, I even called him on the irony of the situation and his flawed thinking, but in the end of it all, he simply stated: "I farking hate Obama." It's not because he's black, or muslim (like my parents tend to think) or that he's running the country into the ground or things of that nature, it's because he was a medical student (flunked out of med school, to be completely honest) because he wanted to be a doctor like his mother. He felt Obamacare is the ruination of the medical industry and there's no way he'd be able to be rich like his parents if he followed through and became a doctor. He really felt this way!

I will say he's been unemployed because he quit his job at USAA. He can't find a job anywhere, and he truly believes it's Obama's fault and quotes Romney's promise of 12 Million jobs in the next 4 years as the countries only saving grace.

Here's where I stand:
Romney: Ain't gonna happen. Even if I did vote for him, he won't win this election with things like the video posted above. Were he to win, the Left would scream about voter fraud and ballot box fixing and God knows what else as the reasons he won. We'd also be in worse shape overall because he honestly has no real plan for once he's in office. He's going to hire a bunch of bureaucrats that he agrees with that will run the country like their personal piggy bank, setting up their friends to make tons of money, ala Cheney and Halliburton. I believe this because it is the track record of the Right Wing, if this is what they've done, they're going to do it again.

Obama: Winning this election means nothing if the house and Congress go red. They'll continue to stymie him the whole way, while Congress gets nothing done, or fillibustered into eternity again. Nothing will get accomplished, just like the last 2 years, and the nation doesn't move forward from the recovery. Again, with history as the teacher, the Right will sink our country just to snub Obama, and he doesn't have the gall or balls to stand up and make them do their farking jobs. Sure, he's witty, charming and good at speeches, but that's not what we need as a country.

What we need is a Teddy Roosevelt to go in and start cracking some political skulls, take the mother farkers to task. The Democrat party keeps laying down whenever the 'Evil Right' roars and stamps it's cloven hooves, effectively giving into their demands when they have a minority in the Congress. Their belief is if they give the Republicans something, they'll in turn give something back, which has sort of been the way for many decades. But this new breed of the Right are more extreme than ever before in their history. They're also fractured, which is Obama's only hope. With the Right being so fractured catering to the fringe groups, they're having a hard time collecting them all at the base, But again, even if Romney loses, this country still doesn't win.

When Bush was in office and held the Congress and House, they bumrushed all sorts of stuff through the system. The left does not do this. I've always complained that the Left can't even throw a farking birthday party right. They get down to getting the ice cream and start worrying about offending people that want Chocolate as it'd be racially insensitive to not have it present, and people with Strawberry allergies have to have something besides Vanilla, and Rocky Road is needed to, but they'll need to get some Chunky Monkey for the people with Nut Allergies, and let's not forget the representatives that want Butter Pecan and before you know it, the Republicans have run off with the cake, knocked up the birthday girl, and opened all the presents. Now, it's the Rights turn to feel this pain as they try to appease the Truthers, the 'True Christians', the 'Real Americans', the Birthers, The Tea Party... they're fractured and having trouble getting them all to agree, but in the end, they'll all just punch the ticket labeled (R) for no better reason than the other side has a (D).

When you tax something, you get less of it. So tax the living schitt out of the poor and you won't have so many poor people.

propasaurus: In what way does referring to someone as an idiot make your point? Isn't that what made this like funny? freepers saying stupid shiat just because people disagreed with them? You are a caricature of yourself. Please go away.

Uchiha_Cycliste: djkutch: Uchiha_Cycliste: I love Romney, it's like he's going out of his way to make sure all of the attacks used against Obama in the '08 election are invalid this time around. You can't take Mitt seriously if he says Obama is an out of touch elitist. Mitt can't say that Obama has done nothing with his time in office, while knowing HCR was based on Mass. You can't possibly say he's weak on foreign policy, in fact he can't bring it up at all because all he has done is piss off other nations. Any possible (and obviously fallacious) comments about his religion have to be avoided because that opens the door on questions about being Mormon and where his loyalties lie. God I want the debates to start soon. Granted Obama could win just by letting Romney talk for both their turns, but it'd be nice to see an active offense as well.
God Bless you Mitt, you out-of-touch, money grubbing, un-reliable asshole. The democrats have never looked so good and they had PAlin to help last time.

For the debates, I see two scenarios: 1) Mitt whips out his dick 2) Mitt doesn't show up

It seems to be his only options at this point.


No, he must show up to the first one. Otherwise there's no point in the others as it's practically forfeiting the election. His only choice is to answer the questions with exactly the party line talking points, refuse to be goaded or answer any questions from OBama, inject no personality into the debates. He has a hair of a chance if he becomes the recital robot we remember him being before he turned out to be such an utter cocksicle.


I made this point in a redlit thread and a Farker opined that Ann may have an MS flare up just before the first debate. I'd be happy for them to bring Rafalca in on the debate floor it would help them struggle through.

ox45tallboy: tenpoundsofcheese: Watching this makes me look forward to the debates. He knows the details and has strong viewpoints. 0bama will fall back on vision statements feel good things and demonizing successful business people. The country will either elect a daddy figure or a successful business person and leader.

My bet is they go with the daddy figure. The person who they can have a beer with instead of the person who will help you earn more money so you can buy your own beer.

So please, pray tell, kindly inform us, since Mitt has failed to do so, what policies he will put into place that will help the Average Joe earn more money so he can buy his own beer.


Nice to see you back again, Tall Boy

But, now that you are here, I think there is some work for you to do. Do you have anything that you could put in pictures that would represent what you think about Mr. Romney. Seriously. I would love to see that. All the best, Delay.

cr7pilot: Yes, clearly I'm the idiot here...

If it comes down to your ditzy acquaintance being able to have food stamps or Kim Kardashian being able to afford some more lip injections, I'm going to side with your ditzy acquaintance every time. Hopefully Obamacare allows her to pick up some health insurance while she bounces around those entry level jobs.

cloud_van_dame: coco ebert: I don't think so. I think Romney's voters will pretty much support him no matter what. I don't think it will gain him independent voters but it won't lose him many either. However, it may fire up the Obama base who need to turn out to vote in November.

Romney being a disgusting pig is making me more inclined to vote for Obama and less inclined to vote third party.

/isidewith says i side with Gary Johnson, in 2008 I got the crazy old guy from Alaska


The good news for actual right-leaning Independents and moderate Republican voters is Obama is actually a center-right leaning Democrat and far from being the liberal Fox News would have you believe he is.

/vote away!

ACK! Did he get the same banhammer as me? If so, ox45tallboy I apologize as it was my doing. I take responsibility for being an asshat last week.

The video was taken in May! Mitt has shaken the etch-a-sketch several times since then. The comments mean nothing. Go about your business.

My business has tripled in business in the last four years. Were Rmoney to get anywhere near it I wouldn't have a business, considering how he and Bain took care of the places they bought.

Elandriel: My wife put on a CNN video about this last night. My god it was unabashed Romney-fellation

www.rawstory.com

OMFG did you see Erin Burnett tonight, disgusting Romney fellation. She even when through contortions to show how Romney's got this election in the bag.

UNFARKINGBELEIVABLE! These CNN folks are the worst. At least Fox admits they are right wing clowns.

CapHuff: I am voting against President Obama's attempt to serve two terms because I do not believe it is in America's best interest to have the government redistribute wealth.

Explain how Obama is guilty of this.

IMHO, what made this country is opportunity, and the fact that if you work hard your background does not matter

Sounds like something Obama would say.

ourbigdumbmouth: You can't just go quoting people with out the full context of not only their statement, but also their life.

It's time for America to drop this crap (sorry), and come together.


I just bet you didn't go listen to the whole thing. They didn't quote Romney out of context. At all.

The guy believes all of us are asshat poor people who think we're entitled.
