Fish generally rot from the head down.

Are we talking about Mika or Romney with your comment? Sorry I have a hard time thinking whose more unlikeable Mika or Romney.

Since Mika isn’t the head of anything, the answer is obvious.

Mika, head? I’m in.

What are you, a 6th grader?

Romney at Daytona yesterday was pissed when he found out cars turn left.

They were trying very hard to make him look bad instead of talking about the substance of what he was saying.  

I have to think his people cringe when he opens his mouth, as well. 

Chuck, Willard needs no help with that. When you tell NASCAR fans you don’t watch NASCAR often but you have several friends who own NASCAR teams, how hard are you even trying? I actually wish we had a decent Republican working his or her way through the primary system. We are always better off with two (2) good candidates. Willard is just a complete stinker.

Mika, change your last name and see if you still have a job.

Mika’s a hottie with intelligence. Does that intimidate you?

When I saw the picture of that event the first thing I thought of was who would come up with place for a speech. Then I thought what does it cost to rent a football stadium and then, oh, it was the smallest place a friend of Mitt’s would have.

Mitt Romney’s run for president is looking more and more like something that future candidates will use as a prime example of how not to run a campaign. He came into this with everything going in his favour, he had 4 years to plan, incredible wealth, a spell as a republican governor in a generally liberal state showing he has appeal beyond the party and most importantly, he had the party establishment behind him and few of his flaws are so great they couldn’t be whitewashed over by a good speechwriter and someone experienced in PR… He shouldn’t he struggling like this against people like Santorum and Gingrich.

It increasingly seems like the people who are advising him and running his campaign are out to sabotage him, trying to make him look awkward and unpopular and forcing him to the far right on social issues when that’s not his strength. They should have had some idea that the event would be poorly attended and moved it to somewhere that would seem like a packed grass roots event.

I’ll 2nd that. (mind in gutter).

Come on, it was a perfectly funny joke.

Looking at the picture in your avatar. What are you a 7th grader?

Romney gave his speech to an audience of just over 1,000 people at a stadium designed to house a crowd of 70,000. ”
 
He was going to hold it at the atrium of the stadium but the Secret Service nixed that as a too confining environment and asked him to move it to the stadium.

Mitt Romney’s speech in front of a 98% empty football stadium was the
result of a last minute security change, according to two highly placed
officials with the event’s organizer, the Detroit Economic Club.

The stadium was only chosen after a smaller venue sold out. Beth
Chappell, president and CEO of the group, told TPM that the new plan was
to hold the event in the stadium’s atrium, which wouldn’t have had a
panoramic view of the venue’s empty 65,000 seats, but that the security
team — which included Secret Service, Detroit police, and Ford Field
security — did not approve.

“The security team had concerns when they did walkthrough so we had
to move meeting to the field,” she said. “I am just sick that this has
become an issue where there is none. We were thrilled with turnout.”

Mika makes a fool out of herself yet again.

Blackwhitemeet.C0Mit’s a nice pl’ace for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bo’unds or extre’mes in front of true lo’ve

The DemMedia love to chat about things like Romney’s wife driving 2 Cadillacs.  How about they chat about and feign indignation that the lovely Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Chair of the Democratic National Committee, owns 14 cars and trucks and 10 of them are Honda’s, Infinitis, Acuras, and a nice little Porsch Cayenne.  At least the Romneys drive U.S. cars while the Chair of the DNC and her super rich husband drive foreign made ones.

Romney is completely out of touch with the common Man.He never knows what to say…..
“The trees are the right height here”
“I love the Great lakes and all the little baby lakes”
“I like cars”
“two of my favorite things together… cars & sports”
LOL

 She is neither.

This is what happens when you try to be someone you’re not. Mitt was a generally moderate Republican with some sane ideas and the ability to govern a state despite his party’s minority status. And he pioneered a health care program that’s still hugely popular in Massachusetts. He chose to walk away from most of that to become a character that he calculated could win the nomination.

I think he’s finding that — just like Giuliani, who tried the same schtick four years ago — this was a bad call and it’s having an effect on his overall performance as a candidate.

This from a Republican Clown.

That is pretty lame, even for Dan Senor. The optics of that Ford Field appearance were simply dreadful. Mike might as well have asked the more pertinent question “Are they trying to lose? Sure looks like it!”

With Willard, mistakes are always made by the common people. He doesn’t make mistakes.

My dear, during the 2008 election, Willard parked his BMW and didn’t drive it again until he dropped out in disgrace.

I would say Romney was made to look like a “home state” candidate without much support. Because of the venue it appeared to be a small crowd…….. “a gain of sand at the beach is nothing. agrain of sand in your eye is big.”-Rachael Maddow.
Romney should have called it off or postponed until a better venue was found. A bad decision is a bad decision. Romney made the final call. This was Romney’s mistake. This also says he surrounds himself with incompetent advisors. Will he also do the same as president?.

That’s kind of the point, though. A better organized campaign wouldn’t have booked a venue that was too small, forcing them to move. That was a mistake. Then, a better organized campaign wouldn’t have tried to move the event to a place which was a security risk. That’s mistake number two. Mistake number three was rectifying their first two mistakes by putting their candidate in the middle of what was essentially a completely empty stadium. That was terrible optics. Politics is just as much about how something looks as it is about how something sounds, and that event made Romney look like he rented a big room for a party and no one showed up.

A better organized campaign wouldn’t have made these mistakes. Optically speaking, what’s better? Romney in a nearly empty stadium or Romney in a tightly packed room with people waiting and cheering outside because it was sold out?

In terms of sheer marketing of their candidate, this was a blunder. It’s not a campaign killer (it’s not even a paper cut) and only political junkies even care at all, but saying mistakes weren’t made is kind of silly.

 Nice lie.
She owns an infinity.
How about a link to the other 13 cars.

When President Romney is in control of the levers of power, this blonde bimbo will rue the day she spoke so disrespectfully of our future Commander in Chief. There will be no disrespect of Mitt Romney starting next January 20th. She had better start watching what she says.

Way too much focus on Michigan for the wrong reason. If it really is Romney’s home state, he blew his “favorite son” status long ago and it is showing now.
He and his staff should have made a much better effort to show some connection between his adult life and Michigan, but there is none!
As far as I can tell, Romney left Michigan when he graduated high school, and never looked back. If he did, he should be able to say so. He should at least have some fond memories of vacations there. He should be able to name drop some cities, some quaint villages, some scenic wonders, some Michigan politicians that he knows (or knew) and admired.
Anything at all that would show any emotional connection with Michigan would help, but all he can say is “nice trees and lakes?”
Romney may be the candidate who knows the least about Michigan because his Republican opponents must have done their homework better than he did.

I’m in MI and we HATE Mr Mittens

I am a Liberal Democrat. i don’t have any problem with Romney owning American made cars. Good for him.
What I have a problem with is Romney was so against the Loans Obama gave to US automakers (That have been paid back) He wrote an article why we should let Detroit go bankrupt. Traitor and hypocrite.

I think Kim wants you!

Yes, the event organizer says so.

heheheheheheeh

Porche Cayenne, nice; I want one of those…

Ha!   I love that, “my wife drives two cadillac’s and I have several friends who own NASCAR teams”     Its certainly a different life than most of us live, but Clinton or Obama or just about any leading Democrat would say something similar if they were being honest.  Fact is its rare to get to the pinnacle of politics unless you are already an elite, or unless you started small and interned your way up the social and political ladder – or had it gifted to you such as with Obama after his fantastic 2004 convention speech.    It makes for good criticism, but if he makes it to the general election I think it’d be a mistake for Obama to play the elitist card, since he and his administration have acted like elites telling the rest of us what rules we should live by all while they live under different rules.

It is never good to lie. There are not 14 vehicles and you know it. However, the tactic is to smear the other side, even though she is not a candidate. Nicely done, if the truth and facts are unimportant.

I think it depends on how you hear what he says.  Much of what he says may sound silly to some, but make good enough sense to others who pay more attention to the message than how its delivered.  George Bush also had problems speaking, and many criticize how Palin speaks, but Bush was known by most to be an honest and compassionate person and many (but probably not enough to matter) feel what Palin says is right in their heart, even if it is tough on the ears at times.

So the plan is to blame security rather than just shut up about it. Why blame security? Because they will only answer with no comment, so it can be made up.

Also, in my experience with candidate’s security teams, a larger, empty area with multiple entries was never the preferred choice when a smaller area was available.

Mitt Romney has misspoke a few times but when it comes right down to it….I do want a president who has been successful in his career and life.  There is nothing wrong with success or being rich.  Perhaps he can help make the country successful and rich again too.

I’m in Illinois, and south of Chicago, everyone hates Obama.

well a hottie, anyway

He sure can…as long as you already make $750,000 or more a year before the election.

 In all honesty though, there less than 5 real Nascar Teams. 

The Obama administration has NOT ” acted like elites ” they have attempted to change the course of the US Government so it wouuld not be a tool of big business i.e. elites.. Get your story straight, stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.

You Betcha!

MSNBC running a banner in this clip that labels Romney the “Cadillac Candidate”- sums up the progressives in one fell swoop-  they feel capitalism and success is something to apologize for, and have the propaganda machine spinning away to drive home that message.  And logical consistency?  Pay no attention to the lifestyles of John Kerry, the Kennedys, and untold others.

It’s the crowd you hang with.

I figured as much, but I am not interested in NASCAR. Thanks for the confirmation.

 Yes the south side of Chicago seems prime Republican Territory….

Reading talking points from your blackberry takes intelligence. Thanks for the laugh.

Mika, yet again, states the obvious.  Looks like the press is waking up to what we already know.  Obama IS beatable in 2012. Just not by any of the Republican Candidates running for office.

What substance. The Tax Policy Center already looked at his 46-71-83 pt economic plan and said it was crapola.  It would significantly raise the deficit, and raise taxes on the poor and middle-class, while also cutting funds for programs that serve the middle-class like workforce centers that retrain and prep the unemployed and underskilled, and recipients of foodstamps and welfare to get a job.  It cuts state budgets for police, fire, and teachers and grants for education and small businesses.  The cause for the debt (Bush’s recession and Bushs’s wars) are not addressed.

never do.  

“Something wrong with ‘his people’”      Racist!    :)

 Neither does Obama. He just blames someone else. Not MAN enough to take charge. Much like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Mika’s lips may be flapping, but it’s Axelrod talking.

Mittens will never be president.

It’s still a clear example of incompetent planning.

Also, I have a hard time believing that the Secret Service would consider a wide-open football stadium to be easier to secure than a smaller, enclosed area.

Mittens has been looking to the example of his father’s failed presidential run. George Romney was basically destroyed by the party leadership for being too honest. Thus, Mitt took away the lesson that being authentic is a way to lose elections.

There is no substance to what Mittens was saying. His economic policy ideas are terrible, and everybody knows it. 

Of course there’s something wrong with Mitt’s campaign, Mika. It’s called incompetence.

Yes, they have attempted to turn our nation into…. what exactly? A nation run by small business owners? um No…A nation that has become a tool for the interests of unions, minorities, illegal immigrants, anti-capitalistic, pro-spread the wealth, pro higher taxes, never cutting a social program?

Obama has hired more lobbyist from big business, special interests  than any other president, and continually caters to the whims of Wall Street, so by your definition that makes him the tool.

“Transformative,” are you kiddin” me.  Romney will never be POTUS…he is not qualified.  He can’t  run a coherent campaign, how will he run the country?  He blurts out stupid and unthoughtful comments, how will he run the country?  He can’t think on his feet, how will he run the country?

Hey, Americans can’t afford to have another slow thinking man in the White House….we had that for eight years with GW Bush and look how he and his team destroyed this country. WE’RE NOT GOING BACK!

Vote President Obama in 2012!

I wouldn’t normally consider a presidential candidate’s religion when considering them for office, but voters are going to find Romney’s mormonism is an exception to that rule. 

For example, Romney has sworn a grissly blood oath that he will always put his mormon church before his own country, the U.S.A.

intelligence…..ha ha ha.  She got her job because of daddy on the no one is watching channel.  Ms Smarty dropped her baby too.  I wonder if she is for capping over payed “news” talkers.  The real humor here is MRs women right Liberal is nothing more than T/A for a show with a bunch of men.  Shes an empowered modern women in a red dress amd 5″ heels.  You go girl.

Maybe he can and maybe he can’t

Isn’t the South side of Chicago where the poor live ?  Just askin….

We don’t mind people getting rich.  We just don’t want them getting rich by making us poor.

Axlerod deservrs a lot of credit for Obama’s success.  He is a very knowledgeable man.

The woman sounds and looks like she’s chronically constipated

Mika’s dog-whistle: “There’s a problem with anyone not named OBAMO or a bleeding Leftist.”

“there’s something wrong with his people.”
His people?!?

DOG WHISTLE!  CODE WORD!!

Senor has got it wrong about what the people think…it’s not about an advance team or anything like that…it is Romney just can’t attract enough people and that’s what we get…Don’t try to make your self look too smart Senor!!

your comment is ignorant and you appear to be a serious mysogynist, and the correct spelling is overpaid.  Mitt Romney is getting very bad advice, and he is sinking deeper into a hole every day;  that said, he is too robotic to win even if he had some good people.  Also, if he is such a brilliant business man, why has he hired such a mediocre bunch of campaign consultants.

a good Republican critique, so much substance

Oh, thanks for the explanation that our problem with understanding these losers is our attention span, I don’t think any of the three even have hearts, they certainly don’t have any empathy and they are all tone deaf.

Your comment is so stupid and wrong that it is not worth answering.

They haven’t been allowing him to open his mouth, it’s been a while; now if they could just stop him from giving any more speeches.

The irony is that he thought the health care program would be a feather in his cap as a candidate, and it backfired on him. 

That whole explanation is ridiculous, that is what they made up to cover their mistake, Mika isn’t the fool here, I’d say that Mitt is just clueless.

Gallup says otherwise.

You havn’t been around long it appears.   Let me direct you to the nearest Chris Christie article so you can get started cleaning up you own backyard regarding a lack of substance before you throw stone from your glass house.

Mika, in her usual state of confusion.

I’m guessing you don’t have any issue with Obama’s religeon led by a rapidly racist, America bashing, hatemonger providing 20 years of spiritual guidance to Obama….but you do take issue with Romney’s?

Makes sense to me.

God help us if someone had said “There’s something wrong with Mika’s people.”

“I’m guessing…”(so you’re assuming)

Rather than deal with the an “actual fact” that I brought up, you avoid the implecations of that fact by taking the readers in another direction.

First things first, then I’d be glad to address your “ASSUMPTION.” 

Would you support, or not support, a presidential candidate, who has taken a “blood oath” in his mormon temple to always put his mormon church before his own country, the U.S.A?

So you agree with me that susani56 just made a pretty stupid comment? So you are saying there should be some sort of economic litmus test before one votes?  Do their votes not count?  Just asking…

To be fair, I am not sure how much Romney participates in Mormon Religion.

So why the hell do you vote Republican?  The party of “deficits don’t matter.”  The party of union busting (albeit in the last 50 years, Teddy Roosevelt was a union supporter)  The party of top tier tax cuts. The party of creating tax cuts for companies to outsource.  The party of “we hate a social safety net, yet here ya go big banks, no stipulations.”

In short…..there is something seriously wrong with all republicans.

You cannot participate in mormonism at a higher level than to be “temple worthy.”  Romney is and has been ”temple worthy” his entire life.   

To be “temple worthy’ a mormon has to successfully pass two worthiness interviews, one by his bishop and one by his stake president (both are leadership roles in the mormon church)

The temple worthiness interview questions include such things as they must fully support “ALL” leaders of mormonism without any questioning, must pay a full tithe (10% of all their yearly income), attend weekly church meetings, and a whole list of other things.

I dont give a crap about Romney. It dont matter who you vote for nothing changes. But empty heads like Mika can have real influence on the public school dopey masses. I guess you think Obama brought change. Try again. My spelling suffers while I run my Biz so I can meet payroll for 7.

 This from a libturd.

 He is leading.

 Disprove what he says or can it.

 No Mika is always a fool. Ask her favorite founding father, Abe Lincoln.

 Infinity? That’s made by Nissan.

 What does that have to do with his owning American cars? many companies file for bankruptcy so they can reorganize their operations to become more efficient and to become more competitive.

You confuse bankruptcy with going out of business.

 Yes, you are indeed very common.

GM & Chrysler would have gone out of business. The trouble was after the bank meltdown. Private banks were not leading money anyone, never mind  troubled companies.
 Thank President Obama for stepping in. He saved a lot of American jobs.

He also claimed her Cadillacs were built in Detroit when they’re actually built in Lansing. If you’re going to spout factoids off the cuff, have accurate data to spew.

There have been many times the Lions couldn’t fill that stadium on a Sunday (OK, not this past season), so how did they think Mit would even fill the field on a weekday when people typically have to work?  Did they expect all the unemployed would come to see him preach?

 If they think Mitt’s people are bad, wait till they find out the  ‘rest of the story’ on Mitt.

Calvininus, Mitt is not even close to authentic. He, Newt & Rick should all have a side by side pic of themselves on a 3 dollar bill. 

I left the citations above in a coupla posts. Mitt is a duplicitous 2 tongue 2 face RINO-CINO.

SamFox

She is as screwed up as her father was, when will we be rid of these Jimmy Carter incompetents?

That’s my point. Mittens saw his father lose by running an honest campaign. Thus, he decided that the way to win is to be as phony as possible.

I’ll support a candidate that takes a blood oath in his religion with the same vigor I’ll support a candidate who considers a racist, anti-semetic, race-bating, American haiting, psycopath, A SPIRITUAL MENTOR FOR TWENTY YEARS!

So, with that out of the way, you clearly take issue with
Romney and his religion.  So with that in mind, does your distaste for the oddities of the Mormon faith also equate to a distaste for the unbridled hatred of Obama’s faith?

My magic eight ball says no, your outrage is absolutely selective, and that you have issues with a religion on the one condition being the follower of said religion has an “R” next to his name.

In other words your a hilarious hypocrite….and thats not an assumption.

Cal, not so sure how honest Mitt’s Pops was.

But anyhoo, Mitt’s phonyness is not contrived, it’s Mitt to the bone. It is what he IS.

I do not vote Republican. I am a lifelong Democrat. I vote the straight Democratic ticket. I don’t care if you get rich as long as you make your money honestly. I just want the opportunity to do the same. I do not covet what you have. I just want to feed, clothe, and shelter my children in my own home and give them some of their wants. I do not need a mansion. I believe all people should have healthcare if they need it. I think God made enough food to feed the world if it is distributed properly. There should be affordable housing for everyone. Sadly enough, I think these things could be achieved if it were not for man’s selfishness and greed.

I apologize. I had you confused with Tritzy.

I doubt what she said is true. Some years ago, I went to the University of Illinois, Navy Pier. Chicago has affluent areas and poverty stricken areas. If she meant the south side of Chicago, I can almost guarantee what she said is not true. Michelle Obama was raised on the south side of Chicago. She met and married her husband , our President, who was a Community Organizer helping the poor in that neighborhood. I’m sure there are many people who love him there. I believe in one man, one vote. There should be no Litmus test. If there were, most of the Republican nominees would not pass it. Republicans know they are in deep deep doo doo, that’s why they are trying to undo voter rights.

Wow, you certainly are emotional, aren’t you?
*Do you think being as emotional in your comments as you are “adds to” or “lessens” your credibity?

You certainly have made quite a few assumptions in your comments, haven’t you? (BTW, almost all of your assumptions are wrong with only one partly right)
*Do you think making so many assumptions, and avoiding the one fact I broached, ”adds to” or “lessens” your credibility?

Do you always resort to “name calling” (“…your a hilarious hypocrite..”) when conversing with someone you disagree with?
*Do you think using “name calling” will “add to” or ”lessen” your credibility?

Thomas Jefferson said, “…I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of men.”

I’d like to think that describes what “I try to do” in my very limited capacities.
