Mitt Romney insults the American electorate one last time

Yesterday in Springfield, Ohio, the crowd listening to Barack Obama booed when the President brought up Mitt Romney and the Republican Congress. That prompted Obama to say:

“No, no, no — don’t boo, vote. Vote! Voting is the best revenge.”

Romney promptly pretended to be very outraged by this. He told his supporters:


“Yesterday, the President said something you may have heard by now. That I think surprised a lot of people. Speaking to an audience, he said, ‘voting is the best revenge.’ He told his supporters — voting for revenge. Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you. Vote for love of country.”

It's all Romney has, so I'm not surprised they went with it.

Or Cayman Islands, China, or tax-free Somalia.

That's where his true-love country is.

I'd bet on it.

Even in his concession speech I expect he will insult some more.

Big difference, idiot. If we were voting FOR revenge, there would be a box on the ballot saying "You would like to extract revenge on the Romney Campaign" Yes ---- No

Voting AS revenge means that we're voting for his opponent because we think that Romney is a cheating, lying, morally bereft, 1%er who hates most of Americans, and would lead us to ruination just like Bush.

Big diff.
