Guffaw.

Mitt will soon say that he mis-embraced birtherism and racism in accepting the endorsement of his new pal Trump the Liar.

Mitt Rmoney basically endorsed Obama yesterday.

he meant to say “ew, poor people smell.”

Ahhhh.  The old “I misspoke” thing.  Of course you did, Mittens.  Of course you did.

Yawn, the race card.

But don’t play all your race cards now.  You need to stock up on them.  A hundred million people will vote against Obama in November, and you will need race cards to play against all of them.

Yes, and he also “misspoke” when he signed into law, the Affordable Health Care law for Massachusetts. 

Romney admitted to, right wing radio host, Laura Ingram that the economy is getting better. He also admitted that the POTUS inherited this economy. So why in hell would I vote for his tax plan which would raise mine and lower his???

What a whimp – he should have lambasted the media for taking his words out of context and just showing a snippit rather than the whole statement.  He needs to learn from newt and go for the throat of the liberal lying mainstream lefty limosine lovin  liberal media.

lmao… get back to reality now.

You Know what I dont care no more !! Soon I will parish and you can have this world !

If he misspoke, why did he repeat his misstatement when given ample chance to clarify? And why do Republicans think the second half of the sentence–”because they have a safety net”–somehow makes it sound better? The poor in this country have one of the worst “safety nets” in the developed world.  

The words are in context he has said the same comments more than once. Stop blaming the media for his poor choice of words.

The anchor even game him a chance to clarify and he just repeated it. 

Funny how the top three people in the race–Romney, Gingrich and Obama–have all supported the health care reform law at some point. Gingrich proposed it in the 1990s as an alternative to “Hillarycare.” Romney implemented it in MA (where people like it, by the way). And Obama got it passed nationally. 

And yet the Republican voters still think that it’s a “Socialist” takeover. Their top guys were for it before Obama was.

The Daily Beast did a really good piece about what the safety net is like now-a-days.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/02/02/mitt-romney-and-the-poor-people-s-safety-net-myth.html 

Mittens flip-flops more than a fish with a hook up it’s ass!!

Prior to Obama’s inauguration, Rusty the Chickenhawk stated he hoped “Obama failed”. When the AHCA was introduced, Charles Grassley initially supported the individual mandate because he had supported it in 1993. Several weeks later, he got the memo from the top that the GOP was answering to Rusty. From that point on, the GOP never supported another bill Obama supported.

More jobs lost under Obama than any modern President.

More debt run up under Obama than any President.

Bigger expansion of food stamps under Obama than under any President

No budget passed during the entire Obama administration – even when the Democrats controlled both House and Senate.

Downgrade of US Treasury debt — first time in history under Obama.

Etc. etc. etc.

Need more reasons?

Oh Tina, you never fail to amuse us with your illogical rants. The whole statement in context  looks bad anyway you slice it.

Conservatives can’t even call the president a foreign-born muslim without people trying to play the race card!
It’s just not fair!!!!!1!!!!!

Mitt, Never say you misspoke it’s not presidential. It’s “As President the poor will be handled by my blind trust”
Hey, Hey…Wheres the speech coach? Get him in hear and bring that new script!

You’re right, Tina. Romney’s a wimp. Couldn’t fool you! You need to nominate Gingrich.

Yawn, more race card playing.  Why don’t you try showing me where Romney called Obama a foreign-born Muslim?

I’ll save you the trouble.  You can’t.   These racism charges against Romney are just a fabrication. 

Obama’s policies have been a disaster, and you can’t explain that away by racism.  In fact, the more you try, the more ridiculous you look. 

Aw, isn’t it cute how it repeats the lies he hears on Rush?

Psst. All of that isn’t true.

Never fear your troubles wingnuts…Hannity is always ready to blow smoke up your butt.

I have misspoken myself. I thought I asked my wife for a cup of coffee, It appears I screamed at the top of my lungs that she ruined my life!

Romney sought out and cozied up to Trump, who’s been pushing this crap. If he doesn’t condemn it, then we can only assume that he’s comfortable with it.

Yes, Mittens needs to learn from Newt

BTW, how’s Newt’s campaign going lately?  Oh….wait…..

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Typical.. Romney flubs and runs to Hannity who’s ready to hear an apology.  :Sigh:  If we reelect Obama or elect Romney NOTHING will stop the debt and dollar spiral this country is on.

1) Wrong, Obama has 1.4M more jobs created net than Bush
http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-jobs-bush 

2) Wrong. Bush’s major policies increased the debt by more than $5 trillion during his presidency. Obama has increased the debt by less than $1 trillion.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/adding-to-the-deficit-bush-vs-obama/2012/01/31/gIQAQ0kFgQ_graphic.html 

3) Wrong. More people on foodstamps added under Bush than under Obama.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-01-18/fact-check-gingrich-obama-food-stamps/52645882/1
(The number getting food stamps declined by 43,528 in October. And the economy has improved since then.)

5) Half-true
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/aug/05/buddy-roemer/obama-submitted-budgets/ 

4) Due to the obstructionist GOP that blocked any and all tax increases. 
“The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America’s governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable” (S&P)

Notice whenever a Republicans screws up they go on Hannity’s show where Hannity washes their feet and cleans them of all sin.

He’s the most misspoken politician I’ve ever heard!  When he’s not flip-flopping on issues, he’s walking back from his “misspoken” statements.  How many faces does this man have?

 Can you back that up or is Fitzy’s description accurate?

Sounds like you were hearing him during a hard re-boot, could be his ventilation ports clogged with dust or high fluid temps.

Romney is the same guy that REPEATS the myth that Obama went around the world apologizing for America. 
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/sep/22/mitt-romney/mitt-romney-repeats-claim-obama-went-around-world-/ 

The one thing Romney can’t seem to flip-flop on is being a terrible politician.

Seeing as only 131 million people voted in 2008, your estimation is highly unlikely…especially as very few Republicans seem to really like any of their choices.

I’t had be a Mitt-stake to vote for this man.

Why can’t Republican voters recognize this complete charade?

 Im bothered by this man in so many ways I cant even articulate it. He is a friendly gordon gecko. He is an android. He is a flip flopper. He cant keep a position to save his life and it will only get worse once the general comes around. He has five military age sons and none has even conceived a military career  and neither did he. He gives the majority of his charity money to a church who doesn’t have to disclose records on what they do with this money. He has money in foreign bank accounts for unknown reasons and acts like its not his responsibility to know this. He was for the Iraq war but now says if we knew what we know now he would be against it. He was for tax payer funded health care but now says he is not. He was for a women right to choose, even though his faith was against it but now is against this right. He feels the poor are well taken care of but now he does not. And he pays less of a percentage in taxes than I do. But what really really annoys me is that he had an opportunity to release his long term tax returns but chose to only release one year, with one other year estimate. He is hiding so much its not even funny.

It’s because Obama Did it.
Anything Obama does must be bad if you are a Republican.

Go Newt!

Interesting you didn’t say 100,000,000 people will vote for Willard. Speaks volumes.

He must be very open minded.
LOL

… and judging from the lower number of Republicans participating in primaries than in 2008.

Thats it in a nut shell.

Ron Paul is not going to be elected and civilization will end. Don’t buy gold. Buy lots of food and ammunition!

See Tina-in-Tampa, you have the luxury of being behind a CDU. If Willard told this lie, he’d have to keep a straight face. I don’t think he could.

Thrice.

If we elect Romney – the dollar spiral stops the day he’s elected.  You and I both know this is true.  

that is an outright lie there mencius.  Why bother?  

The governments job is not to elevate the poor out of their poverty.  The government’s job is to get out of the way and allowing the poor to climb out of their poverty without putting road blocks in their way.   You seem to misunderstand that we are all responsible for ourselves – not the government.  

we have pictures!  

No he didn’t – seriously, you have issues with truth telling.

because that’s not his tax plan.  Where you pulled that puppy from, Lord only knows…

Please clarify – what exactly is the “outright” lie?

Re governments: in your opinion of course.

He’s always better after a character chip firmware update… that along with lubrication and routine maintenance.

have any kool aid left, or did you drink the whole bottle.

1.  Your statement and source – a lie
2.  Again your statement and source – a bigger lie
3.  Wrong again – you flunked math also?

It’s amazing to see the left’s attempt to spin the truth.  It doesn’t take a genius to find out the truth – #’s don’t lie sweets – math is an exact science.  

Does Kool Aid come in a bottle now?

We will vote for anyone but Obama.  That’s what will happen.  

Applause!

he was stating who we will not be voting for.  

lol thanks for letting me vent. And the scary part is thats just the tip of the ice berg on what annoys me about him. I didn’t even mention self deport.

Exactly. Speaks volumes.

Maybe he could have phrased it a little differently, but if you listen to the whole statement that he made, he put emphasis on the part where he was talking about the middle class, thereby inferring that this was the subject matter at hand, and the point he was trying to make. The reporter is the one who flipped it around and put the emphasis on the first part of his statement thereby making it the story. Once she did that, that was the focus of his comments and the media pounced.

I think you meant “whimp”.

indeed. A hook up one’s derriere would certainly do just that.

 Yet he backs up his argument with data, and you do not.

This fellow ain’t so bright.  The Kathy Geiss of Bain no doubt.

“Hold on, now; you have to understand what ‘very poor’ means to the esteemed governor before going off half-cocked. There’s no economic prejudice; he doesn’t give a damn about ALL y’all.”

Ugggh – it’s like talking to a 2-year old.  They don’t/won’t get it.  Afterall, a couple months ago, they’d all have voted for Donald Dump.

LMAO!

That’s what Tuna does.  She blames the media (except Faux News) for everything.  It’s all she has.  

Romney, you’re suppose to say those things in a quiet room.  

 Many said that about Bush in 2004.  Then Kerry was the one who ran against him. 

Please!  Give me some Newt!

This is so predictable.  A GOPer steps in it and has to run to Fox to get hannitized and wipe the dogshit off his shoes, while Sean laps it up.

Thanks for your comments – just to clarify:

1a) The primary source is the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (research.stlouisfed.org) where you can double check the data interactively. If you do so please let me know what you find out and how.

1b) My statement simply reflects the data which I assume to be correct (again it is a federal reserve bank).

If you still think I lied please respond to the points above in more detail.

2a) My source was the Washington Post, actually a more right-leaning newspaper. The data is found in the Business part of the newspaper. The primary source of the data is the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (http://www.cbpp.org/).

2b) My statement was a rehash from the article (first paragraph) which simply explains the data.

Again, please respond in detail where you think I am lying.

3) The math required here is simple – as is the reading of the article. I simply reported the numbers the factcheck team from usatoday found. Their primary source was the US Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition.

Once more, please detail where I am incorrect.

Thank you

This from one who would vote for “anyone” but Obama.  You have issues with common sense and reality.

So do I.  Behold: the Republican Party in a nutshell:  http://lynnrockets.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/palin-painting.jpg

 You’re a good man.

Nice mental image. Thanks.

What’s he going to cut?  What programs or departments?  If he’s not going to stop policing the world, nor.. oh hell, you know what?  Figure it out yourself.

I’m to the point of just waiting till it all collapses so we can just start over.  We’ll have, perhaps another 20-30 years before government does the same exact process again.  Grow too big, destroy itself and repeat the entire process over and over again.  Meanwhile a few generations will get a society with a sound currency, maximum liberty and a hopeful future.  We’ve had a good life but it’s slipping and our future isnt pretty.  I’m defeatest now.

 Reality can bite that way.

Hello everyone nice discussion here but i am new here ..i like discussion on new thread…

Don’t be too hard on him.  He’s only ever seen the poor through the window of his limo as it sped by.

Uhhhhh….YEAHHH…..I would never have voted for Romney anyway….but it just goes to show you (and “ol Mitt” should have known this) the opposing side will ALWAYS take any negative thing you say and use it against you…..which means that anything positive you might have said will be “lost in translation”…..tough break, Mitt….all you can do is learn from it….

Really, we have two that could win – Gingrich, who’s been there, done that and got things done with the democrats or Romney who turned failing companies around.  

Obama sat and drank coffee or tea as a community organizer and voted “present” for the short time he was in the senate.  So, the choice we have is to somehow think someone who’s proven he can’t govern is suddenly going to learn how? or either one of the two who’ve been there, done that.  we’ve seen the unknown and it wasn’t pretty.  

I see the Obamabots who will be paid $7.25 an hour have all punched their time cards in to work the blogs with the directive to ridicule Mitt Romney.

Romney gave 14% of his income to charity while your boss Obama gave 1%, who do you think cares more about the poor?

You all sound pathetic, uneducated and childlike in your verbal ‘high five’ dumb responses to each other.

Romney has more intelligence, political and business knowledge than Obama and more charityin his heart than most Americans and last but not least he will be the next POTUS in 2012

Hannity is the right-wing dog walker always eager to stoop over and pick up the crap after them.

Your right, just take out the lamb and insert a FOX, who’ll promptly spoil all the vines.

I see you are readin the right wing Morons, comparing Obama 200-2005 tax retuns to Romneys 2010.
In fact the article shows that Oama made 1.2million 2005-2004 (thats only 240000/year)

2010 Romney gave 14%
2010 Obama gave 14%
Look outside your bubble IDIOT.

Yes, so you figure if the government declares bankruptcy and can re-negotiate all the overpriced union contracts we’ll be fine?

Hmmm wonder if government can go into chapter 11? lol

Don’t know what he’s going to cut.  Do know that just his election will give the private sector the confidence to create jobs.  Right now the private sector is just waiting for the other shoe to drop – and they are frozen.  A very unhealthy and fearful time for small/large business.  

The left doesn’t seem to be able to accept that business is fearful of the government overstepping – controlling.  When business is fearful it does not bode well for the populace.  Obama can’t change who/what he and his agenda is and the majority of people are uncomfortable with the path he seems to be seeking.  He’s tone deaf and that’s why he must go.  Clinton saw the writing on the wall and was bright enough to change course.  

Actually Obama gave away 14.2% of his income to charity. Not to bad considering he makes about 1 5th of what Romney makes. And none of it went to a church who keep their records secret. I make more than 7.25 and hour and have seen my stocks almost double since Obama was in office. I have more money now than three years ago. And if you were intelligent, and would have invested when Obama got into office you would to.  And last but not least you are living in a fantasy land if you think Romney is going to be the next president of the united states.

 And I thought this was a Christian nation.

Romney will get scolded by Rush for these comments. Any Republican that says they care about the poor must answer to the baldin oxycotin poppin fat man.

I think you just described doublethink and doublespeak and then some.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Doublespeak

10% of Romney’s charitable donations were to the Mormon Church. Highly doubt if the Mormon Church is poor. How much are you getting paid to blog about Romney? Less than minimum wage?

Then why is Romney backtracking now?

Tina Tampon, I would love for for Romney to start listening to your advice. Would make it so much easier for Obama to get re-elected.

Then I guess we could start blaming 9/11, Katrina, Iraq, and the financial collapse on Bush?

You been programed well.

Misspoke? Bull.
He meant what he said, but is too willing to change his opinions at the drop of a newspaper. He needs a stiff spine if he wants to beat Obama. Too bad he doesn’t and won’t.

I saw no problem with what he originally said, he’s just too eager to please anyone and everyone.

even the devil himself–
good to know that the gop finally admit they have no morals or values..

u forgot-
killed bin laden-
saved the auto industry-
millions now have health care who did not before-
civil rights for our militiary-
ended one war…
should i go on?

and yet america has the strongest economy in the world—

too bad you cons hate america so much..

mitt has never done anything to help anyone but himself and corporate wealthy..
it was not a ‘mittspeak’..
it was the truth and mitt cares nothing about the poor…

he has never known a poor person, never been to a poor persons home and nevere been at the bed of a poor sick person..
cons are a lot of things–but they sure are not christian…

SORRY-I MITTSPOKE..IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MTT-TAKE–I WAS MITTUNDERSTOOD…

if it sounds like a duck and walks like a duck–it must be a CHICKEN?>????

‘I misspoke…’

And right on cue Mitt Romney…

…sheds another skin and becomes another version of Mitt Romney!!!

Stiff sipne definitely helps, but not if you say ‘I am not concerned about the poor’. That is a stunningly stupid thing to say if you want to be president. I want to president but I don’t care about the poor of the country I want to be president of. What a goof.

Charitable donations are tax deductable. Romney is a charitable as the Pope is a muslim.

I was merely offering my perception of his full statement. If you would like to know why he is now backtracking, there is a video above with his explanation,

Right-wingers – a lie.  …Nope, still there.

Since saying something is a lie is all it takes for you to change reality, I thought I would try it myself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1R4b04mxOs 

All of you guys need to get off your asses and get to work!  It’s clear why America’s economy is so stagnant!  If you don’t like the way your country is run, step away from the computer and do something about it!!

He actually said two things.  One he meant to, and the other he let slip.  He ham-handedly trued to woo middle class voters and in so doing made it clear that the very poors don’t concern him.  (to him, I am sure he sees them simply as a drag on the bottom line.  Unfortunately, he can’t just fire them.)

The reporter didn’t do anything that made this story big, though she did give him a chance to dig himself in deeper.  Even if she had let it pass, it still would have hit the headlines.  Remember “Corporations are people, my friend” and “I am also unemployed”?   As long as he is going to say things that show how out of touch he is with people who make less than a million a year, statements like this will make the news because they give insight into how Mitt Romney ticks.

Your absolutely correct no one should express any opposition to you or anyone like you, it is shameful that their are people who express any non-conservative opinions what-so-ever what do those people think that we live in America? they need to wake up and recognize that in Conservalandia there is no freedom of thought or expression.

maybe they are doing something about it AT their keyboards.

And of course….like good little right wingers, you Fox viewers believe this crap.  Romney did not mispeak.  He and his kind always hide behind a veil of false religion and fake jingoistic patriotism while hiding even further behind a facade of false conservatism.  That is the Republican way.

Obviously, if you don’t like a candidate, you are not going to like their statements either, which inevitably leads to a critique of their comments with the same old talking points we hear over and over — “shows how out of touch he is” — “in doing so made it clear” and my personal favorite “they give insight into how he ticks”.

I really don’t know what the fuss was about his statement about corporations, I always wondered what would have happened had he said “Corporations are cats and dogs, my friend” or how about “Corporations are cheeseburgers and fries, my friend”, of course we know that isn’t true because “Corporations are chili dogs and onion rings, my friend”.

My comment was completely non-partisan!  From my view, your country’s political and economic system is absolutely corrupt, and the only ones who have any chance of fixing it are you guys!  That’s my point.  Wake up, quit fighting each other, and fix your country!  And you’re basically correct, there soon will be no freedom of thought or expression in America!  Maybe Canada too!

Take Care

Great advice man, I just donated a million dollars to various SuperPACs so I could make a difference. I don’t see why everyone in America doesn’t follow my example.

Ha! Good one!

Translation: “I f*cked up! I went off script and expressed how I truly felt about the plight of the poor in this country.”

What happened to all the commenters here who were crying that Mitten’s statement was taken out of context!!

He just threw you under the bus by admitting his statement was never taken out of context in the first place!!

Your future Republican nominee just made you all look like fools… lol!!

Romney is on a mea culpa tour telling anyone who will listen that he was wrong and misspoke, yet republicans and conservatives and anyone against President Obama are still defending him by saying the media took what he said out of context. Defending a guy’s point who admits the point was wrong. I know Hannity has a big audience but how does anyone understand the man while he obviously performs fellatio on anyone saying anything bad about President Obama

Good, intelligent way to choose a president – “Anyone but him!”

Thanks for pointing that out. I get tired of typing it over and over.

You have to be really poor to qualify for the “safety net.”  People who earn $30,000/yr are not considered poor, but are having a real hard time of it. Romney doesn’t have enough money to buy a clue! He has NEVER struggled. 

 Gingrich-kicked out by his own guys and is by no means a fiscal conservative.  See: moon mission.

Romney: The center right to Obama’s center left, minus four years experience on the job.

It’s common sense.

Show proof of STFU

You wont hear from him, ’cause he been “pwned”

Me thinks he protesteth to much. Look at his tax plan and the lie explains his awkward stance. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Mr. Romney’s tax plan would actually raise taxes on many lower-income Americans, while sharply cutting taxes at the top end. More than 80 percent of the tax cuts would go to people making more than $200,000 a year, almost half to those making more than $1 million a year, with the average member of the million-plus club getting a $145,000 tax break. And these big tax breaks would create a big budget hole, increasing the deficit by $180 billion a year — and making those draconian cuts in safety-net programs necessary.

It’s all about numbers not words with Mr. Mitrawmoney…………..

 ”OBAMAS POLICIES”…. really like what…..you mean the economy..well we know that..what else….besides raising taxes on grapes

 ah..correction..”YOU” will vote for anyone but Obama..even a GOP clown…lololo

 who said we werent responsible for ourselve?s…pleeeeeeeeze….. Obama wants to raise taxes on 1% of Billionaires..you know like Romney- GreenRich..Rush Limpballs etc….and all of a sudden he’s a Socialist..marxist…..all of a sudden-he wants people on poverty and food stamps…..blah blah balh..alll right wing propaganda

Our clown will be more qualified than your clown.  

When you belittle one side – you’re belittling your own.  A silly silly game.
