I'm tell'n ya, Mittens and They Liar are the McCain / Palin of 2012.

Swinging at everything wildly...shoot first, aim later...showing on a daily bais how selfish, self-centered, it's all about "me", Greed is Good mentality.

NOT what America and the world need.

People don't peacefully starve to death.

It's actually why I could never "get into" the Hunger Games - in reality the vast swath of hungry people would simply overrun the rich.

Even if Mitt isn't a decent enough person to think feeding the hungry is the right thing to do, he should have enough self-preservation to do it anyway.

time. In the Hunger Games scenario they had just enough to just survive and keep mining. Everdeen's family became useless to the machine when her father died. The mother checked out. Katniss and her sister would have gone into a home if Katniss had not started hunting if they were unaware that their mother hadn't started working. The situation in her district is not a whole lot different than mining communities have been facing for generations.

In some ways that society is more humane than the one Romney envisions.

... Rmoney would not care if our country resembled Ethiopia? The starving poor and the government preventing any aid from getting to them so the rich can stuff their coffers.
