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!
How Out of Touch is Mitt Romney?
Mitt Romney is so out of touch, he thinks the middle class earns $200,000 to $250,000 a year. Another nail in the coffin that is Mitt Romney’s presidential aspirations.
Is The GOP Cutting Romney Adrift?
The writing is on the wall that Romney will lose in November and then add to that Mitt’s holding his ground on his baseless attacks on President Obama, are Republican leaders looking towards 2016?
Mitt Romney Wades Into Foreign Policy… And Drowns
Steve Kornacki at Salon says it perfectly: The foolishness of Romney’s reaction is glaring. Pretending that the statement from the U.S. embassy in Cairo was anything other than a completely understandable and reasonable attempt by its occupants to save their own lives borders on disgraceful. Romney’s implication that the statement was issued at the height […]
Mitt’s Just A Regular Guy
There’s a Google Doc circulating among conservative websites written by Hal Prewitt who bought one of Mitt Romney’s homes back in 2009. The doc, if you choose to read it, lauds Romney as a regular guy.
Ours is a factual story that provides a rare glimpse and insight into the real Mitt Romney. Does he really relate to the average American?
Yeah, a $5+ million dollar ski house of over 9,500 square feet is something all Americans can relate to.
The Etch-a-Sketch Campaign Begins
After losing the National Security issue and realizing the the Middle Class is about to leave the Republican Party, Romney’s campaign is in full etch-a-sketch mode.
After months of saying that he’d repeal “Obamacare”, Romney is now saying, “I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform.”
Presidential Debate Question
How in the world is Mitt Romney going to handle the Presidential debates? He has run his entire campaign on avoiding detailed policy discussions, so how does this translate into a debate? Will he simply say, “I love freedom” over and over again?
Health Care, Afghanistan, Taxes, Medicare/Medicaid, Abortion, Budget Cuts, Unions, the Economy, Foreign Policy, etc. – all these topics, and many, many more, will be on the table. How does Mitt Romney respond to these issues, or is there a way he can avoid them and continue to say nothing?
Romney Just Lost Virginia
I was just over at Electoral-vote.com (a great site that I don’t visit enough) and saw that Virgil Goode, Presidential candidate for the Constitution Party and long-time Virginia Congressman, has made the ballot in Virginia. As a Virginia local running to the right of Romney, this should be the death-knell of the Romney campaign. At […]
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.
Prove It!
Mitt “Because I said so” Romney: The fascination with taxes I’ve paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues we face. But I did go back and look at my taxes and over the past ten years, I never paid less than 13 percent. I think the most recent year is […]
