Is it any wonder that when considering their primary choices, the top pick among Republican voters is “none of the above?” In case you thought the automatic conflation of Democrats and communists was a fantasy relegated to the depths of most rabid right wing blogs and the braying on radical radio, Mitt Romney is here to prove otherwise.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took aim at Democratic rivals on Sunday, calling them all unprepared to lead the country and comparing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s economic plan to that of Socialist Karl Marx.
“Hillary Clinton just gave a speech the other day about her view on the economy. She said we have been an on-your-own society. She said it’s time to get rid of that and replace that with shared responsibility and we’re-in-it-together society,” Romney told the crowd. “That’s out with Adam Smith and in with Karl Marx.”
Wait… Hillary Clinton said people should work together? Where’s my pitchfork? A good thing Romney’s vaunted religious leanings are all about elevating selfishness above the needs of others, getting what’s yours no matter what, and defeating that dratted spirit of community involvement, voluntarism, and teamwork.
That’s okay. I’m sure Romney can’t be held responsible for any words that just happened to come in contact with his mouth. Just how many macaca moments can one “we should double Guantanamo” candidate have, anyway? – kos diarists Devilstower
