Once again, Romney ignores "When in a hole, stop digging" advice.
This time it is the now infamous video of Romney basically telling a bunch of rich fat cats that almost half the U.S. is made up of deadbeats looking for a handout. So what does Romney do? He calls a hasty news conference to say that while the "wording was inelegant" he essentially stands by his assessment. In other words, he is going to concentrate his efforts on the 53% of people in the country who are better off than the slacker 47% since the slackers won't vote for him anyway. So if you have lost your house to foreclosure, gone bankrupt because of large medical bills and no health insurance, or lost your job and can't find a new one that pays a living wage, forget about Mitt being interested in helping you out because you aren't going to vote for him anyway. What a guy!

Keep shoveling Mittens!
Just what a sad sack of sh*t Mitt really is. Just look at his Bain record. When it was revealed exactly how he operated at Bain, it was perfectly plain to me (and should have been plain to anyone who read about his business philosophy) that this is a man who will do whatever it takes to "get the job done". That is make a bundle for himself and his buds. If people get hurt in the process, well that's just the price of doing business. You know, collateral damage.
It makes me sick to think of the ethics of this man. And what is even more sickening is to remember the picture that Ann tried to paint of him at the Republican convention. Oh, and the rest of the "good folk" who got up beating the drum for what a good, kind and decent man he is. What must he have been thinking about the folks he helped, even as he "sat by their bedside"?? Hypocrite is too good a term to describe him.
WORST CANDIDATE EVER.
Oh, and one more thing, Mitt. Where are your damn tax returns for the past 10 years??? Inquiring minds want to know.
DO TELL.
