now, they get to spend a second weekend doing damage control...

this is what happens when one doesn't do snark well... because snark requires a measure of truth and truth is the last thing mittiot and his myrmidons want to get out.

Which is what they will push because they've brainwashed the public about them being 'the party of small business.'

Obama, as the CEO of COSTCO has said, is the best friend to small business.

All of those alternative energy companies are small businesses that Obama helped, but Mitt would destroy by removing their advantage as they get started.

Mitt wants to still maintain the tax perks and subsidies given to big business, fossil fuel giants, which Obama wants to cut to encourage more competition.

The Romney tax plan raises taxes on all but his friends and himself. If Obama's tax plan prevails, we can buy pizza, or pay the rent

But we don't have to buy any lousy pizza from Papa John's who only gives health insurance to his managers and himself, not the employees. That's why he has enough money left over to throw at Mitt's campaign, no doubt.

But the bigger question of how much more taxes they will pay under Romney, might turn their wrath toward him.

school, so I had to look up the pronunciation of Myrmidons and it was SemperEadem who brought that on.

Romney has that Trojan Deer in the headlights look sometimes too. The result of the fact that he really CAN'T, as in CANNOT, i.e. is completely incapable of giving a shit, so he's saying whatever he's told to say. Brainless! Just like this nice little dolly named Andrea.

I keep thinking things are going a little too well, at least politically anyway, so Trojan Horse fits what's on my mind, wondering what the October Surprise will be.

Koch Brother Will Be Official Romney Delegate At Republican National Convention

David Koch will be an official delegate for Mitt Romney at this month’s Republican National Convention and will represent the New York Republican Party, according to National Journal. Koch, an oil billionaire currently ranked number five on the Forbes U.S. billionaire list, has pledged along with his brother Charles to spend $100 million in their effort to oust President Obama this November.

And I hope this will out come out, too:

The transcript detailing the Koch family is printed out right there in the OP. No one should be fooled.

Rommunism. If you expect people to work harder, so wealthy people and corporations can have tax breaks and subsidies, you need to throw the people a moldy crust or two, otherwise, you will have no one to pay for your roads and airports and such.

So, thank you Andrea, for clearing that point up. NOW, let's get down to brass tacks on exactly what kind of Socialism providing what opportunities to whom and you need to know - NO moldy crusts for Us!!!

"If people had been in Massachusetts under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care." ~ Andrea Saul, Romney spokeswoman

--OR--

"If Chris Christie doesn't run in 2012, Mitt Romney will be our nominee and we will lose."
~ Ann Coulter, at 2011 CPAC

...Both are very good.

If she said something that was false, and it hurt Romney, they could fire her. But I'm betting that because she told the truth, the media would have to point out that what she said was true if she does get fired.

And if Romney fires some one for telling the truth, even the lowest of low-info voters would recognize it.
