OK. Mitt's true thoughts have finally seen the light of day. We now need folks with 20-pound sledge hammers to beat this into the consciousness of all Americans.
If you are retired military, if you are a veteran, if you receive Social Security, if you receive Medicare, if you receive food stamps, if you are poor inner-city, if you are poor rural, if you receive ANY assistance then you are 'useless' to him and he won't be bothered with you. Black, white, brown, Red state, Blue state...it makes no difference. You are the dust beneath his feet. If you are white and receiving assistance there is a special note for you. He WILL play you like a fiddle for your vote. Once he has that then get in the other line. The 1% and the political power-players feel the same way, but none of them are stupid (or egotistical) enough to say it where anyone but their inner circle can hear it.
The largest takeaway from this (at least to me) is that this truly reflects his motivations. He wants this for Mitt. There may be a little bit of wanting to validate the Mormon church, but this is really for him. A person running for president MUST want this for America. Even if I do not agree with the politics I want all candidates to be in the running for their idea of a better America. Once a candidate becomes president he/she becomes the president for ALL Americans. I think that has been forgotten here. Mitt is in this for Mitt and the Hell with everything else.
I would like to see the Obama campaign press with this issue. I would like to see Obama use this issue at least once during the debates. A president must be the president for ALL Americans. This cannot be overstated.
He has presented us with all the nails needed to seal his coffin shut. We must waste no time hammering.
