Romney speaks to his 1% pals

[RickN]

Is RomneyCare a better alternative?

Not even close, but Romney will not try to shove it down everyone's throats like Obama and cronies did. Romney had a different situation in that a large percentage of people in Mass supported the idea at the time while a majority do not like Obamacare. Plus Romneycare is a failure just like Obamacare will be and Romney knows this.

Yet Obama can pander to just about everyone else and it's OK?

Sorry but Obama was busy speaking to another room full of rich donors.

He is pretty contemptuous of all us "little people."

US little people? Aw come on Mister Books sir, why I bet You were there with them.

Obama has friends in low places. I hate to hear the sound of his voice. I tell people, I tell folks " I'm not votin for Obama, I'm votin agin Romney" That's what I tell em.

What I have learned from my long, painful reading experience:

Huffington Post is accepted as an unbiased, non-partisan news source.

The Republicans are rich and mean.

Social Justice is a better justification for hypocrisy than patriotism.

The Democrats are following virtually all of Marx' teachings, but they are NOT, by any stretch, Communists.

The Republicans are greedy capitalist bourgeois running dogs. BTW, this phrase can no longer be attributed to the Communists who no longer exist except in the fevered minds of racist Ocrat haters.

ALL who receive .gov benefits MUST vote for the Social Justice, but un-communist, better reason for hypocrisy party.

FDR started the .gov down the "we know best" path we see today, but somehow this is all Bush IIs fault.

All Democratic administrations have been kind and beneficial to the entire world, but all bad things happen because of Republicans.

Reverse Democrat and Republican in the above sentence.

Anyone calling one group Communist must be a Communist, even though Communism somehow miraculously disappeared around the end of the 80's (better call Castro, don't think he got the word).

Romney is evil because he is rich and mean.

Obama is kewl because he is rich and for Social Justice.

Communists are not Socialists, regardless of the definitions being nearly identical. Neither group is Progressive, Liberal, or any other word that has a negative connotation, but Conservatives must be evil because they didn't redefine themselves to cloud their agendas.


Everyone should do themselves a favor and become a Libertarian. They just want to be left alone by the .gov morons.

Was I clear in my contempt?

no, could you repeat it again?

I heard on the news this morning that mitt wants the full recording of that meeting played, not just the edited pick and choose snippets that we were told about.
Perhaps there's more to the story?

 

[Lurker66]

Im sure there is but the look on his face, the tone in his voice said he's bluffing. I think this episode kills Ryans chances of becomming the VP.

In all reality, Clinton started the whole thing by repealing Glass-Steagall. It was bank deregulation that allowed the housing bubble to bloom and subsequently burst to epic propertions. The Iraq war allowed the oil companies to boost their prices, and suddenly we had $3.50 gas, which pushed the prices on EVERYTHING else up. Obama has taken this country back to Keynesian economics, which DOES NOT WORK and has been proven not to work time and time again. Supply side economics works, but Dems love to blame all the world's ills on reaganomics, but it worked.

Europe maintains a Keynesian based economy, how is that working out for them? It has it's moments, but when you are already leveraged beyond control, you can't spend your way out of the gutter.

According to the model here:

http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2010/12/whats-your-us-income-ranking.html#.UFiZaLJmScx

40% of all wage earners over the age of 15 earned less than $20,000 per year.

To put this in perspective, a person working a $10 an hour job, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 50 weeks a year will earn exactly $20,000 per year.

I found that to be an interesting fact...
