Romney: Rules Are For The Help
Via BuzzFeed:
Mitt Romney’s campaign took a hard line with the Spanish-language network Univision, making last-minute demands in the run-up to last week’s town hall that helped insure his success in the forum, sources familiar with the broadcast told BuzzFeed.
When the Republican took his place Wednesday night in the first of two back-to-back candidate forums televised on the mega-network, he was greeted by an adoring, raucous crowd that cheered his every word, and booed many of the moderators’ questions. The next night, President Obama was treated to stone cold silence from the audience as he was aggressively grilled on his lackluster immigration record.
That’s quite a different audience response. Wonder why? Perhaps it had to do with this: “they (the Romney Campaign) told the network and university that if they weren’t given an exemption to the students-only rule, they might have to “reschedule.” Or… Nice show you have scheduled. It would be shame if something happened to it.
I Thought Republicans Were Against Taxes
It seems that Republicans are only against taxing rich people. Taxes for the middle class and poor people are apparently a-okay. Cutting programs that help the poor, the elderly, children and the middle class in order to give the rich more tax cuts is just fine. This strikes me a quite a shift from the days when the GOP ran against all taxes.
The Romney Gaffe To End All Gaffes?
Unflippinbelievable! Could he really be this stoopid?
During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don’t assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them. Fielding a question from a donor about how he could triumph in November, Romney replied:
“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.”
Romney went on: “[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
FOX News Is Responsible For Today’s Republican Party
I tried to write a post on this last week – actually, I’ve been trying to write a lot of posts but always seem to be waylaid by another GOP misstep, gaffe, etc. Basically, there is simply too much nonsense to write about! Anyway, I waited long enough and Mistermix at Balloon Juice did my work for me!
Mitt Romney’s Debate Problem
I’ve been thinking about the upcoming Presidential debates and have realized Mitt Romney has a problem. He’s a horrible debater. I’ve been looking over the videos and news articles after each primary debate and am left with the same conclusion: Mitt Romney has very few shining moments. And even if you remove his gaffes (10,000.00 bet, self-deportation) he was sorta just there, blending into the background, trying not to say too much and avoiding specifics on everything. Basically, his strategy was to simply make it through the night.
A Question About Doom And Gloom
There was a theme to this weeks Republican debate. Doom. We are doomed because of Obama. Our economy is doomed. Medicare and Social Security are doomed. Our grandchildren are doomed. Gays will doom our military and our marriages. And on and on it went. So here’s my question… Can someone be elected President on negativity […]

Mitch Daniels Unable to Grasp Climate Change
Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) does not know the definition of agnostic. While out stumping Indiana about job creation, Daniels was asked about climate change reports The Herald Bulletin. “I’m an agnostic,” he said. In response to a question on his view of cap-and-trade legislation that would penalize carbon-dioxide-emitting power plants, he said, “if we did […]
Another Clown Enters the Clown Car
A crowded field for 2012 may get even more crowded. Everyone’s favorite crazy ex-Senator is thinking of running for president. Yes, it’s Rick Santorum! They were not, however, ended permanently. Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum is apparently taking the possibility of a presidential campaign seriously. Speaking to a room full of prominent US Catholic leaders […]
