Romney’s Complaint: Offended By ‘Vituperative’ Attacks, While Using Race To Divide The Nation

August 28th, 2012 1:27 am Joe Conason

On the eve of his nominating convention, Mitt Romney complained to USA Today about the “vituperative” and “dishonest” assaults on his character by the Obama campaign and its surrogates. “Isn’t it sad?” asked the Republican candidate. “The White House just keeps stepping lower and lower and lower, and the people of America know this is an important election and they deserve better than they’ve seen.”

This whining hardly becomes the politician who dispatched his Republican rivals with multi-million-dollar barrages of attack ads. There is some truth to his complaint that Obama’s campaign is trying “to minimize me as an individual, to make me a bad person, an unacceptable person,” but that is precisely what he did to Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum on the road to Tampa. The Republican primary season was the most vicious in memory – and committees backing Romney led the bloody pack, spending more than two-thirds of their money on negative advertising.

What he is doing now, however, is arguably much worse. And again it is the kind of political behavior that shames the memory of his father George.

What’s truly sad – for a country that hurdled an important barrier four years ago – is that Romney and his aides are running an increasingly racialized campaign, seeking to capture a supermajority of white voters, because they can see no other pathway to victory. Some analysts estimate that the Republican ticket cannot win the White House without at least 61 percent of white voters – a significantly higher percentage than voted for John McCain in 2008.

Romney’s remark about his birth certificate in Michigan last week can be generously discounted as a clumsy attempt at humor, rather than a calculated slur. Growing up in the bigoted environment of the Mormon Church, he may be sufficiently obtuse not to realize that “birtherism” is a racist movement. But that wouldn’t excuse his vile advertising, which is clearly designed to stoke white resentments with false attacks on White House welfare and health care policies. The overall theme, as Thomas Edsall, Chris Matthews, and other analysts have charged, could hardly be clearer: Obama is taking Medicare money away from hard-working whites to give cash and medical care to indolent blacks.

Romney’s statements, the divide and conquer strategy the GOP is using, and their platform are despicable, but unless we wake up, focus on what is important to most Americans, and articulate a vision and, preferably, proposals on how to solve the problems afflicting our country, there is a good chance we may lose this election.
The outcome of this election will not be decided by Democrats or Republicans, but by Independents whose top priorities and concerns are the economy, unemployment, deficit spending and subsequent increases in the national debt. The GOP understands that and, not surprisingly, the put a large national debt clock behind the podium in the GOP Convention Center that is not exactly HGTV decor.
Some of the latest polls show Romney leading by one point, in part because the bounce candidates get during and immediately after their respective conventions, but also because we lost our focus and instead of continuing to highlight Romney character, or lack thereof, his record and actions, we took the bait and focused on Ryan, Akin and just about every other nuthead instead of the man running for president. We must go back to the strategy that put President Obama ahead by 9 to 10 points, the sooner the better.
We must also find a way to articulate in a concise and simple way the reason for MEDICARAE changes and how those changes benefit seniors and, most importantly, we must come with proposals on how to strengthen our economy, reduce our annual deficits, and at least reduce the out of control increases in our national debt.

sigrid28

I’m completely on board with what you have said, with one exception. I have trouble imagining how Independents are as concerned about “the economy, unemployment, deficit spending and . . . national debt” as Republicans claim they are, trying to win them over with what they think is a sure-fire appeal to these voters, an enormous national debt clock. The strategy could backfire, turning the clock into a meaningless blur. I bet Republicans don’t even look at the thing, any more than people paid attention to the clock ticking toward nuclear annihilation.

Clever as the GOP thinks it is, the Republican party remains the bastion of the discredited, anti-intellectual, conservative establishment, which is still prating about the virtues of “trickle-down economics” and the Red Menace, meaning the Soviet Union (hopefully, they will catch up some day–after the election). To me it seems that Republicans have imagined Independents to be what they WANT them to be. Maybe the GOP doggedly plays up to what it hopes Independents are like, because this lets mediocre Republican candidates drill down on topics about which it is easy to generalize. And I hope they keep this up, so they lose.

Independent votes may be better won through a boutique approach than the RNC’s grape-shot national debt clock. Independents in suburbs, where unemployment and women’s rights predominate, are not at all like Independents in rural areas. For example, the threat of factory farming has turned a lot of formerly Republican rural voters Independent, as they recognize how Republican initiatives have protected agribusiness and rendered the EPA helpless to protect the environment. Where the fumes of huge lakes of manure have caused home values nearby to plummet and leakage from these manure lakes threatens the safety of the aquifer (drinking water for all of us), Independents could care less about a ticking national debt clock, but could well be ready to vote for Democratic candidates running for local, state, and national office who support programs that will save the home values of Independents and protect the health of their families. In addition, quite a few of these rural Independents are whites who receive welfare (more whites than minorities receive welfare, contrary to the braying of the RNC). A focused appeal by Democratic candidates will win their vote. The desperation of the situation for many Independents makes them hungry for programs that truly address their needs–not just talking points.

CHANGES

But we can spray paint Obama white, but there is nothing in a can that will change RoMoney into an honest, caring, competent, pro-women, middle class, forward thinking marginally functional politician.

sigrid28

Perhaps you mean “change RoMoney BACK into an honest, caring, competent, pro-woman . . . politician,” because, apparently, he was (sort of) all that as governor of Massachusetts: pro-life, enlightened health care reform, balanced budget because he could work in bipartisan ways with Democrats in the Massachusetts house and senate. If he is now as you portray him, almost the opposite of what he was then, he cannot be “honest” and “caring” with regard to either side. Like a weather vane, he points in whatever direction he must point in order to win. He does not lack core convictions: he is convinced that he is entitled to add the presidency to his trophy shelf, and will do and say anything to accomplish this. As for the current RNC fantasy that “he just wants to help people,” it is just another joke on gullible seniors and uneducated white women voters they will need to win. Look to Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey for examples of what the super wealthy do when they really desire to help others.

Kay Bright

Excellent take on Robme and the repugniCANTS who really can’t stand him either. I especially liked your last comment because that is so true. IF he really wanted to help people, he wouldn’t be hiding all the money, shipping jobs overseas, raiding peoples’ pensions and keeping their money, and lying on the President about things that HE KNOWS ARE LIES! INSTEAD, he’d be putting his money into the economy, investing in ventures to help get people working, and running a FAIR AND HONEST CAMPAIGN!
rustacus21

… but still, U have to wonder… was ‘that’ all an act, in order to get elected back then, just as this ‘performance’ is nothing more than ‘dictated’ psychosis in order to appeal to a rabid conservative following? All for the sake of votes, yet again? This is scary stuff! Knowing that what he’s saying isn’t even true, while still unphased by the ‘morally’ degenerate manner in which he demeans himself? This is way beyond disgraceful, but the crowd – including corporate media – cheers him ever onward…

sigrid28

Romney is so perfectly insulated by his wealth, his intense family life,and his lifelong involvement in his religion. He could view his past accomplishments as achievements, leave it at that, and devote his time to his family and friends, and to the charities he says cares about.

Instead, he chooses to do this. Not only is he committing himself to misleading the American people he says he cares for, he does so at the behest of people like the Koch brothers, who want him to do their bidding. Why should Mitt Romney want to do their bidding? What for?

How can Romney stand campaigning day after day without fleshing out any plan or defending himself effectively? What fuels these desperate acts? One writer suggested it was intense competition with his father that kept Mitt Romney in the race, despite his many weaknesses as a candidate. Where before have we heard this sad tale of pride, self-deception, and willful blindness?

Joseph Pedersen

A very well thought out posting Sig. I look forward to the debates between the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. Both the Republican candidates have got serious issues regarding past political stands and making statements which are not born out by facts. I just hope an intelligent electorate is listening.

what has obama done for us the past 4 years? besides bring us more debt, and take money away from medicare to pay for obamacare…
name one thing! come one, one thing!

ExPAVIC

DUMB

Obama has generated less debt that Bush did. Recovery debt is necessary because Bush got it all screwed up.

RoMoney must also contend with $770 billion Medicare debt RoMoney’s Karl Rove has just made it an Obama issue.

But where are RoMOney’s tax records and why does he hate women so much?

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

Unfortunately, President Obama made the mistake of assuming that honesty would be a welcomed change after 8 years to deceit and corruption, and towards that end he put the cost of our crusades, MEDICARE expenditures from general funds and other such items in the budget, where they should have been all along, as part of his transparency efforts. Big mistake, the GOP, the Grand Ayatollahs of deceit, took advantage of that and are using it to advertise out of control spending and accumulation of debt, ignoring the fact that the cost of those wars existed before President Obama was inaugurated. The only difference is that one charged it to items such as unfunded liabilities (out of sight out of mind) and the other put it in the budget for everyone to see and appreciate the consequences of our decisions.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

I’ll give you an example of what President Obama has done for us, and the way Republicans react to it. I just had lunch with friends, who happen to be conservative Republicans. At one point they showed me a $1,000 rebate check they got for replacing their old A/C unit with an energy efficient one, and suggested we should go to the same store where they bought theirs to take advantage of that promotion. When I told them that the appliance replacement rebates are actually coming from the Federal government as part of the stimulus package their answer was no, that it came from the nice folks they bought their new A/C from. Bottom line, Republicans don’t hesitate to take advantage of President Obama’s policies, they just reject any association with the man the love to hate.

rustacus21

Thanx Dominick Vila for this excellent list of both accomplishments & obstructions, which in the end, show a President structuring policy in favor of 100% of Americans, while conservatives, in their limited ability to understand Democracy, can only see it as it affects the tiny, miniscule 1%ers. How any 1 can fail to see what as indisputable proof of competency, means they willfully ignore reality & believe what they’re told, so they don’t have to think at all. What a sad & pathetic way to live! But maybe their Women can save them, since they have more at stake this election than conservative men: these Women have to take care of both the young & adult (unemployed/retired) ‘children’ of their families!!! By that measure, they’re ‘obligated’ to save their families by voting to re-elect President Obama…

Are you asking because you really want to know or just repeating more lies? If you REALLY want the answers, google Obama’s Accomplishments and read the list of all he’s done with AN OPEN MIND!

He made a lot of money for me. The stock market has doubled since March 2nd 2009. And you know what, if you have a pension it is invested in that market and you are more secure in retirement today than than before Obama took office. I vote with my wallet and it is much fuller today than it has ever been.
A vote for Romney is a vote to make him richer and you poorer.

He has not taken one Fucking dime from Medicare, his program cuts payments to health care providers in exchange for 30 million more people having health insurance. Get your fact straight or shut up.
Medicare folks better wake up before Romney/Ryan fucks them in the ass.

The irony is that seniors are getting more benefits as a result of the latest legislation on this issue and because of ACA, including lower RX copays and the elimination of the doughnut hole. Never mind the fact that without these savings MEDICARE would have gone broke in less than 10 years. Unfortunately, a lot of seniors are exhibiting signs of premature Alzheimers and do not understand the difference between savings in projected expenditures that do not affect benefits, and a plan designed to dismantle MEDICARE for people under 55, which would deprive the program of the funding it needs to function.

He has worked like hell to try to get this country back on track, while facing the ugliest disrespect ever received by ANY President! That idiot bushit wasn’t treated a fraction as poorly, despite the fact that the son-of-a- b!^#h ought to be in prison! He saved the auto industry, and the peripheral jobs around it.

Oh, and by the way, fool, NOTHING WAS TAKEN FROM MEDICARE! And I know, I’m on Medicare. He has worked to STOP the idiotic practice of “Fee for service” which has doctors calling for the same tests over and over again, tests and procedures that are un-necessary, and worked against those few doctors who have no scruples about billing for services never rendered.

How about a stock market that has doubled since 2009. How about 30 straight months of private sector job growth. How about a stimulus that ended the recession. How about the fact that taxes are lower. How about the killing of Osama Bin Laden and the destruction of Al Quaida. How about the victory in Iraq and our troops coming home. How about the overthrow of Mubarak and Khadafee. How about the improving housing market. How about the repeal of DADT. How about universal health care and millions of lives being saved and reducing our defecit at the same time. How about the expansion of Medicaid. How about the Dream Act which did not grant amnesty. You are watching history being made. Obama will go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest Presidents ever.

js121

I agree with you; but, the tables have not turned. I’ve been at both parties rallies and there is a BIG difference! Romney’s rallies are BIG Hate rallies. He has not said what he is going to do to balance the budget in the near future nor anything else that matters to us. All he/Ryan do is stand there an incite hate for Obama and get the crowd yelling profanities against the POTUS. Obama/Biden’s rallies are laid back with substance and compliments to both Romney/Ryan. Obama’s sponsored ads just state the facts (some PAC’s may not be so graceful) and ALL of Romney’s are attack ads. The scales are not balanced. None of it really matters as the New Right has the Ace up their sleeve anyways. All the hoopla will come down to good ole fashioned ELECTION FRAUD in the end Same way Bush won…Diebold Machines/software – still being used to against democracy.

I so glad he is hearing what people really think of him.
Polygamyman

Romneys close friend G Mawell told Gloria on the CNN profile that he could never forget the face on the fellow students face when Romney and his sick friends help him down and Romney cut his hair with scissors,violating him.
If the consequences were so severe it is impossible for Romney to forget this horrible incident. His denial reflects his narcisstic sociopathic character. No matter what his children say he is a vicious mean spirited man that will teach Iran a lesson that will cost the lives of countless american soldiers something a draft dodger like him knows nothing about him.
Two of the fastest growing movements in the world are Islam and Mormonism both fuelled by compulsory adherence. It is hard to process the ectasy and excitement of the religious right for a cult embracing man that seeks to wipe out christianity with aggresive proselytising. His mormon cult believes that christianity is not complete and inadequate becasue their Church is the only group of restoration, Jewish folk need to understand Mormonism believes that the New Jerusalem will be set up in the USA. It is also sad that CNN seems to want to function as his informercial supporter. Pierce Morgan is the biggest cheerleader,particularly with his interview in London recently. What a disgrace.

signalfire1

Something I seem to be the only one discussing, either on these message boards or in the general press: Romney was involved in a fatal car accident when he was in France as a ‘missionary’ whilst annoying the French and avoiding the US draft back home (even though he supported the war and has been quoted as longing for the swamps of Vietnam to serve his country…).

The wife of the president of the mission was killed instantly, and Romney was declared dead at the scene by the first officer to arrive. Turns out he was in a coma for 2-3 days, and took nearly a year to recover. Ann said he ‘was a different person’ when he returned home. I think she meant that he wasn’t quite so interested in various felony ‘pranks’ anymore, but the brain damage a coma implies may actually explain his lack of memory when confronted with his outrageous and sociopathic behaviors in the past. There’s also the very odd way he stutters when he says the word, “I”… it invariably comes out, “I, I, I, I, ….” who else do you know who does that???

The question is, Is this a man with memory problems, or telling the truth problems?

Either way, he’s not fit for the White House. Maybe there’s a reason he did so well in a business that requires very little in the way of empathy, or why he doesn’t bother reading his tax forms before he signs them, or why his entire career seems to depict a man who could easily be an Etch-A-Sketch (great visual image, that one!)

js121

I agree with your comments; but, would like to add one thing. We, as “small” people, do NOT sign anything we don’t read – especially our taxes! I have worked for small advertisers doing their books and Never did any of them EVER Not scrutinize nor read their tax reports. It seems the more $$ you have, the more you pour over your books. Now, I realize that Rove, et al, only want someone who has 10-digits to sign what they put in front of them….we can expect that he will do as he is told – just sign on the line and don’t bother reading what it is you are signing off on. Nothing he says or does is “normal” behavior.

HAS ANYONE NOTICE THAT FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH AND DICK CHENEY WERE NOT INVITED TO THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, WELL THEY WERE NOT. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU WHAT 8 YEARS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION REALLY DID FOR THIS COUNTRY. HOW MR. BUSH AND MR. CHENEY TURN THE USA UPSIDE DOWN, AND MR. ROMNEY EXPECTED PRESIDENT OBAMA TO CORRECT ALL 8 YEARS OF MR. BUSH’S MISTAKES IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS.

MR. ROMNEY, YOUR REPUBLICAN BROTHER GEORGE BUSH, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE USA LEFT A DISASTER THAT WAS 1000 TIMES WORSE THAN HURRICANE KATRINA.

I notice that the Republicans denied the black guy, Cain, a spot on the convention program. The Mormons denied blacks for years, only recently accepting them into their congregations.

No way Mormon Mittens is going to let Cain into his private party.

I’ve also missed Karl Rove’s porcine features. Is the GOP ashamed of him?

Romney is a gentleman who is going to lose to President Obama in November. Then we can all forget about this election nonsense and get on with life and polluting ourselves to death.

js121

No, he is NOT going to lose. Right now, we are fighting ELECTION FRAUD which won Bush 2 elections (proven in court). There is NO Voter Fraud; but, election fraud is rampant and used – even currently there is a court case in AZ where they skewed results (against the Libertarian party) using what is now known as the Hersti Stick. They have that Ace up their sleeve, have used it, and WILL use it. Now, Colorado just passed HB1036 which will curtail our ability to verify the election counts – that will spread to all New Right States. Wisconsin just won a fight to stop them from burning the ballots after the recall of walker election. They have us distracted with their b.s. so we don’t see this coming; but, a lot of us know what is next. FIGHT the Machines/software as none are made in the USA anymore and those that manufacture them are unscrupulous!!! More info can be found on blackboxvoting dot org.

I once considered voting for Romney yet I took a wait and see approach because I was very disappointed with Obama’s moral views on abortion and same-sex marriage. But after careful review of both candidates, this year will definitely be one of lesser of the two evils. Romney has clearly proven to be for rich white people while claiming to be for the middle class. Therefore, I will hold my nose tightly this fall and vote for Obama.

Slick Mitt R’money can dish it out but sure can’t take it. Whiny little frat boy privileged punk has been running a campaign lower than the lowest against Obama, but can’t take the heat of some well placed questions about his vulture capitol business dealings, tax shelters, and hidden offshore assets.
signalfire1

Gary Johnson for President! He’s going to be on the ballot in all 50 states and he NEVER says anything negative about his opponents (too much class) and he doesn’t lie through his teeth, either. His record (two term popular governor, left NM with a huge surplus and never raised taxes) soars above either Obama or Romney.

There’s a reason why you’ve probably never heard of him, even though he was the first candidate to declare well over a year ago. Neither party, nor their print or video minions, want you to know you have a true choice.

It’s a wasted vote if you vote for either Obama or Romney. Notice there’s no talk of ‘Hope and Change’ anymore, because at least we’ve wised up to that… It’s been Obama that’s been signing all the anti-Constitutional legislation, not Romney. Either way, they’re both fascists, in league with the same corporations that manufacture war materials. This country is hovering frightening close to the way Germany looked when Hitler took over. In many ways, it’s far worse.

As Johnson’s ad says, “Be Libertarian with Me, This One Election. If You Find You Don’t Like Peace and Prosperity, You Can Always Vote The Other Guys Back In…Live Free!”

Obama states that the economy is moving in the right direction but did you receive this “warning” from The National Memo today. They are warning us that soon we will be in the worst recession since the Great Depression and to buy Gold now.

Dear Friend:
Here is a special message from our paid sponsor Lombardiâ€™s Crisis Profit Alert. These sponsorships enable us to bring you news and commentary from The National Memo free of charge. We appreciate your support. The paid message below does not necessarily reflect the views of The National Memo or Eastern Harbor Media.
Sincerely,
Harold Itzkowitz, VP of Advertising for The National Memo Team

Dear Reader:
Something bigger than the credit crisis of 2008 is
headed our way.
For most people, it will hit them like a brick wall.
It will touch Americans harder and deeper than
anything else we’ve seen since the Great Depression.
Michael Lombardi feels so strongly about this, he’s
decided to present his “Critical Warning Number Six” in a
new video.
In case you’re not familiar with him…
Michael Lombardi has been widely recognized as
predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years.
In 2002, he started advising his readers to buy gold-
related investments when gold traded under $300 an ounce.
In 2006, he begged his readers to get out of the housing
market…before it plunged.
He was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict
that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007.
Michael correctly predicted the crash in the stock market
of 2008 and early 2009.
Finally, Michael turned bullish on stocks in March of
2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones
Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,850 on
April 13, 2012—a gain of 100%.
I call Michael’s video controversial because most people
will not like what he has to say…they will find it hard to believe
until they see all the facts as Michael presents them.
Michael’s first five predictions have already come true.
Now he’s issuing Critical Warning Number Six. I urge you to
be among the first to see this new video here now.
Yours truly,
Wendy Potter, BA

And this was an advertisement for gold investment. It was a repeat of an ad I saw nearly two years ago…….Perhaps Michael Lombardi may know something, probably not. Over the years I have found that ads from xxxxxxx publishing company….. are generally designed for one purpose……to make money selling books. The advice they claim to give is either already known, or not worth the paper they are printed on. Now, electronically communicated, they are not worth the time to read.

Mittens the Liar Rmoney and the GOP are not only trying to divide this country by race, gender and political philosophy, they’ve been dividing this country financially since Ronnie Reagan took office….if they get their way, we’ll be a society of two extremes: the wealthy elite (1%) and everybody else…the history of this world tells us how dangerous such societies are for the “everybody else” category. Seriously, people: if we make the huge mistake of voting the GOP back into total power, that division of the two classes is exactly what we’ll get…
I call it a “fascist corporate plutarchy”…a “plutarchy” is a combination of a plutocracy (money rules) and an oligarchy (very few people make all of the decisions); the GOP are already a plutarchy…vote them into power and our country becomes that. What’s even worse is that those idiot GOP politicians THINK they’re part of the plutarchy….NOPE! Darth Vader (Grover Norquist), Turdblossom (Kkkarl Rove), the Koch brothers, Adelson, Friess, Vanderslute, etc., are the FCP…the politicians are merely “sock puppets” (thanks for the correct term, Alan Grayson) for the FCP…remember what Lord Vader himself said: “we don’t need a politician in the White House…we simply need someone with enough working digits to use a pen and sign bills into law”. Of course, what he doesn’t say is that the Congressional GOP are taking their orders from the FCP on what bills to pass (think ALEC…it’s already happening) so that they can become law.
The Republican Party is this country’s biggest threat, foreign or domestic, to our democracy. I urge all American voters to vote out the fascist, greedy and corrupt GOP bastards and prevent more of them from taking office by voting DEMOCRAT on 6 November, 2012. I’m a Progressive Non-Affiliated voter that became disenchanted with the Democratic Party in 1990, so I’ve been an Independent/NAV since then…there are no Eisenhower Republicans left…today’s GOP are Grant Republicans, which is the last thing this country needs…vote DEMOCRAT on 6 November, 2012!

When a fighter steps into the ring with another fighter, there’s a reasonable assumption that fists will fly. If you step into the ring and punches a guy and he doesn’t punch back, you’ve got it made until the other fella begins to punch back. Early in the campaign, if the rain fell too hard, Republicans and the Tea Party said that Obama was the cause of it and we should get him out to return to clearer skies. Even to this day, everything they say is about Obama this and Obama that, letting us know that their whole agenda is about seeing that this president fails, not by what the president is doing, but by what they are doing to ensure that failure, even by lies and deceptions. There has been articles written by journalists calling President Obama a “wimp”, a “wuss” for not showing some kind of aggression. President Obama knew what the Republicans and the Tea Party were trying to do, but we didn’t. They wanted to see the stereotypical “angry black man”. “That President Obama is a baaad mother—- Shut yo’ mouth!” Many of us said he had no backbone! Now that the man is fighting back and throwing some telling blows, Romney is pointing at him and saying like any bully would say “Not fair! He’s fighting back!” Well, Mitt, welcome to the Terror Dome! You asked for a fight, now you have it. Suck it up and take your licks like a big boy! Stop whining like a pesky little sister when big brother smacks you one and crying “Mommie, he hit me!” Put on some big boy drawers and go for what you know. Remember, in the ring, low blows are illegal, and a black eye is a badge of honor.

Romney can complain, whine, and LIE all he wants, but he will neither convince nor fool all the listeners to believe in HIM or HIS MESSAGES! His heart is NOT PURE. His past is NOT clean, and neither are his DEEDS! There’s too much baggage under the bus to believe anything he says, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE’S LYING TOO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

All of his impurities blended with insecurities descending on ways to end your pension

Mitt Romney is rolling like that !!

Now focus on that scary feeling from the actions he is revealing shock waves of deceit

What I always wonder is how he can claim a history of creating jobs, when his business history is full of lay-offs. Did he create more jobs than than the number of people who were laid-off or vise-versa? I personally don’t remember hearing any numbers about the number of jobs he actually created, only the numbers of people laid-off. You would think they would be bragging if indeed they did create more jobs than they ended?
rustacus21

I’m still trying to figure out what he’s talking about, w/this ‘dishonesty’ thing? But the ‘vituperative’ stuff, he got me there!!! He no doubt, has ever used a word even remotely close, but his fans don’t care! By simply mouthing all the T-party catch phrases, repeating all the crazy accusations, even the ‘birther’ kookyness’ (being dragged from beneath the sewer), there’s STILL no public repudiation in the media – except by Chris Matthews, the other day (which was classic!!! by the way), Thomas Edsall & a few other obscure voices – that he’s pretty much lost it. Like most fundamentalist heretics, the world, according to Mitt, didn’t begin until January 20, 2009, at which time it proceeded to unravel & collapse into a heap & was ALL the doing of 1 Barack HUSSEIN (must have the middle name included to get the full ‘vituperative’ affect!!!) Obama & NO ONE ELSE!!! & yet, if both wars & the tax cuts – between 2001-current, not to mention the ineffeciency, corruption & theft (over the same 2001-2009 period & beyond), cost the nation roughly $9-$11 trillion dollars, is it ‘disingenuous’ to mention ‘that?’ Or is is the $66 billion Bain capital has stashed away, in ‘secret’ world-wide accounts, that guarantee him & his ‘all-American’ family a comfortable life & (wealth) legacy? & if he has all this love for the 1%ers, what will he, like the 2001-2009 administration, have left for the rest of us 99%ers? The answer, according to Mitt, would be nothing, but that too, according to Mitt, would be simply the ‘vituperative’ truth that we shouldn’t talk about as well…

Talking big against big govt, we’ll of course hear how red states help save money, but in the savage way it’s done, in the damage to citizens (look at where the ‘unhinged’ & ‘unstable’ mostly reside…), the dirty little secret is in the numbers – red states can’t count & when inconvenient, STOP counting the sick (http://wwwdothuffingtonpostdotcom/2012/08/29/medicaid-health-care_n_1835101dothtml), the economically distressed (http://wwwdothuffingtonpostdotcom/2012/08/27/contec-holdings-bankruptcy_n_1833489dothtml?ref=topbar), the poor ( > http://wwwdothuffingtonpostdotcom/2012/08/29/tampa-suburb-poverty-jobs_n_1837626dothtml http://wwwdotvaughns-1-pagersdotcom/politics/red-blue-states-summarydothtm <).

A Description of Republican Conservatives that claim to be, Religious?.

[X] Yes, I’m convinced! Based on your organizations talking points and track record of lies that you put yourselves above GODS LAW.

The Judicial Watch and Republican Talking Points that continually set yourselves up to be superior to liberals. You are the Party that professes to be religious, moral and the defenders of family values. In reality I doubt that your organization knows the Bible at all. If so, you have forgotten the Bibles most important teachings. (As follows)

Peter 2, 10 Them that walk after the flesh in the lust for uncleanness and despise the government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they speak evil of dignitaries’
S. Mathew CHAP XXV verses
40 said Jesus, “In as much as you have done it to one of the least of my brethren, you have done it to me.”
41 “Depart from me you cursed.”
42 “I was hungry and you gave me no meat, thirsty and you gave me no drink.“
43 “a stranger and you took me not in, naked and you clothed me not, sick and in prison you visited me not.”
45 “In as much as you did not unto the least of these you did it not unto me.”
46 “go away into everlasting punishment.”
Proverbs, 11,5 “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that water-eth shall be also watered.”
Isaiah, 32,5 “The vile person shall no more be called liberal,.”

To The Judicial Watch and the Republican Party, as you support cuts to every program needed by the least of our citizens, young, old, hungry and unemployed. If you’re not Liberal you’re vile.

The history fought for by the working class has been forgotten. Let’s look back in time when the fascist rich controlled our Nation. So our youth can realize that the fascists are again in control. When our National Guard and Police were used by the fascist rich to stop Union organizing into 1930s Again in Wisconsin Governor Walker was using Police and the National Guard to stop the peoples voice.
1835, In Paterson, New Jersey, a strike by the children in a sweat shop. Their demands ? An eleven-hour day and a six day work week.
1877, Ten labor union activists were hung in Pennsylvania for trying to organize a union for the workers in a coal mine.
1877, Again in Pennsylvania, Thirty rail workers were killed by federal troops for protesting wage cuts.
1911, A sweat shop fire killed one-hundred forty seven women and young girls that were locked into the ten story building. The Triangle Shirtwaist Company owners were indicted for manslaughter.
1911, Fannie Sellins organized the United Garment Workers of America and received a six month sentence in a West Virginia Prison for “inciting a riot,” She also organized the United Mine Workers of America.
1914 John D. Rockefellers Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. (CF&I) in Ludlow Colorado along with other small companies made a stand against their workers. The workers had such audacity as to make demands on their employers. The workers wanted them to recognize their union as the voice of their majority members. The absurd demands were, an eight hour day, overtime pay, a pay increase and the enforcement of the Colorado Mining laws. The union was headed by James Fyler who organized the walk out. Tents were set up and the workers camped in front of the mines. The mine owners refused to even listen to their demands while the National
Guard and mine owners overlooking the tent city opened fire with machine guns. Forty miners and their families died including wives and children. James Fyler was shot fifty four times for his efforts to voice the miners demands.
1919 During a mine strike at the Allegheny mine Joseph Starzeleski was clubbed to death. When Fannie Sellins intervened she was clubbed and shot three times while crawling away.
1919 & 1920 the U.S Bureau of Investigation targeted union labor leaders. 250 deportations and several prosecutions as anarchists.
1932, Ford Motor Company in Dearborn Michigan. Five auto workers killed and dozens badly beaten by Police.
1934, Known as the ,”Battle of Toledo”. Two workers killed and many dozens beaten striking the Electric Auto Light Company.
1934, Known as, “Bloody Thursday,” a California ship yard strike where strikers were beaten and gassed, six killed.
Thirty years of the fascist rich controlling our government and keeping the American worker down ended when the Franklin D. Roosevelt turned against HIS CLASS. All of the regulations and protection of the American worker ended when Ronald Reagan stepped into the White House. Each administration since has continued our extinction of the middle class worker in our country. They simply let the American people do it for them, We The People, not paying attention to the TRUTH. We would rather believe the LIP SERVICE. Americas fascist rich have turned back the pages of the past. Since Reagan in the 1980’s our middle class is vanishing
