(9,186 posts)and he spoke from the heart.
160 million people offend him simply because they claim their children as deductions and their mortgages as deductions on their taxes. Yet he can claim tens of thousand for his horse and that isn't an entitlement.

(12,863 posts)Willard Mitt Romney is a perfectly lubricated pathologically lying weather vane who will say anything to get elected or to get $50,000 checks from his wealthy backers. His public statements and his policy proposals have no connection to facts or truth. He spews the rightwing narrative because that's what his voting base wants to hear. I suspect he doesn't "mean" a damn thing that he says (except, perhaps, that he intends to cut taxes for the one percent).
To say the man lacks character is a gross understatement.

What's really frightening and infuriating is that a lot of the people he disdains and denigrates will actually vote for him, partly because they don't wanna vote for "the black guy", but also it's a matter of "I've got mine, fuck everyone else."

Oh please. We had one inarticulate president and look where that got us -- he stumbled, bumbled, lied, and bragged his way into 2 wars and a great depression.
No, thanks. I'm sticking with PRESIDENT ARTICULATE.
