Righties love their rrevisionist bull flop.
For example.... the left put the 47 percent bull shit in his mouth.......??
In what dimension.

Obviously Mitt put the 47 percent in his own mouth.

Just as obviously Barack put: a) "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan. PERIOD!"; b) "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. PERIOD!";
c) "Bin Laden is dead and Al Queda is on the run."; d) "It was a demonstration resulting from an anti-Muslim video."; etc., etc., in HIS OWN MOUTH.

However, the amount of money in big subsidies, tax credits and tax advantages offered to the rich who are the vast majority of those that can take advantage...is countless billion$ more than what the poor get and trust me, they live in a culture of dependency and entitlement, while they are not job creators or risk takers.



If you are advocating for a flat tax, with no deductions, and no opportunities for the government to use a carrot/stick manipulation of the tax code as a means of social control, MrRodgers, you might be able to get me on board. If you are just throwing out a completely false analogy to distract from the failure of a well-intentioned liberal "solution" gone horribly wrong, then run along.

I'm not good with the keepers of obscure knowledge, Lucy. While I think you are a bit of a nosey neighbor, reality-based and funny goes a long way.

Unless your doctor has retired - which is hardly Obama's fault - that's quite true. Now, you might choose to buy a new insurance plan from a company that your doctor doesn't do business with, but that was your free choice to make. And you could still go see them anyway, and just pay for it yourself.

He did run on jobs, but the people on the government dole have it so good that they don't want to go back to work. They voted for Obama to keep the gravy train running.



Meh.....mitten`s ran on the jobs he created in India and China.....and was acknowledged for it, in '12'


In deed the 47% foot-in-mouth debacle insulted and degraded half of America but that mis-truth wasn`t the most disgusting thing mittens said at that fundraiser...


It was his recounting of a trip he took to China to buy a factory.....where he said(his words) there was a fence with guard towers,where 20,000 workers were locked in, housed 12 to a room,.He was amazed to see "the amount of hours they worked a day and for a pittance"(AKA slave labor) and how mittens thought it was all neato and cool and stuff....

It would and should disgust most thinking adults but that`s not the gop`s target audience

In 2012 Mitt had to move so far right of center that he became unpalatable to the average American voter.

The less Americans see Republicans in their true light, the better.

Status: offline 		That`s interesting Cloudboy.My recollection is that they chose a long form primary thinking that that would increase their chances of ending up with someone electable.

In the film, Mitt takes the flip flopper thing badly. OMG.. That one word had him burning and ranting no end.He would say "well I didn`t flip-flop on that" and complain about how unfair life was.


Another telling narrative comes out,a little bit from all of the Romneys, that even if they lose "they`ll be ok" and...they`ll "be able to get back to their lives"....like the whole thing was a huge burden.


I doubt a single soul lost sleep worrying over mitten`s bleak future.


On a happier note...


"Romneyworld buzzes over Chris Christie troubles"



http://www.politico.com/story/2014/01/mitt-romney-new-jersey-governor-chris-christie-bridgegate-george-washington-bridge-102300.html



"The pleasure Mitt Romney loyalists are taking in the struggles of Chris Christie.

The condition is prevalent, stemming from a range of perceived Christie slights towards Romney during the 2012 campaign, which several Romney loyalists ticked off quickly — and with still-evident bitterness.

Several former Romney donors and staff told POLITICO that their alumni network has been buzzing over revelations that Christie’s staff was involved in lane closures on the George Washington Bridge that caused massive traffic jams, and were allegedly politically motivated. Some view it as a vindication of Romney’s decision not to tap Christie as his running mate, while others have merely watched in amusement.
The sniping is not insignificant.

Christie is not well-liked among tea party activists and leaders, where he is seen as a big-government moderate. So, in order to build a coalition that could give him a chance at the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, he’ll most likely need strong support from Republican establishment types, like those who formed the core of Romney’s formidable operation."

Nonsense. Why do you tell such stupid lies, Lucy? Got ANYTHING that backs your assertion that this was ever said?

What they did was hold onto a bit of damaging video from April, until the moment when they needed it to cover a fuck-up by the incompetent they were determined to keep in the White House.


You really, reallllllly want me to go there rich......sod off , your bait is rancid




Have you ever pondered Lucy, why rightists depend so much on weak,incoherent conspiracy theories to explain their short-comings?

Gail Collins wrote a great piece about how Huckabee was a sorta centrist Republican Presidential Candidate in 2008, but since then he's tacked right and closer to the base.

In 08 he was for immigration reform and prior to that he authorized Arkansas to pay for women's contraception -- but now as FNC guy, he's reversed both positions.

The new Huckabee:

In his 2011 book “A Simple Government,” he railed about everything from giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship (Amnesty!) to subsidized school breakfasts. He compared President Obama to “an arrogant nerd.”

Last summer, he said that when Muslims go to a mosque to pray “they come out of there like uncorked animals — throwing rocks and burning cars.” After the school massacre at Sandy Hook, Huckabee asked why Americans should be surprised since “we have systematically removed God from our schools.” He later tried to roll that one back a bit.

I've heard others make the same claim about other horrors--including, if memory serves, 9/11. In their eagerness to score political points off still-warm bodies, these "religious" folks don't pause to think that they're painting a brutal picture of God--slaying his children in a fit of pique over school prayer.
