Chickens**t Romney refuses to stand up to woman who accuses Obama of treason

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:40:00 -0700

Because a bigot vote and an ignorant vote is still a vote.

Here’s the story from @huffpo, with the important part in bold:

An awkward moment occurred at Mitt Romney’s town hall event in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday when an audience member, in the process of asking him a question, asserted that President Barack Obama should be tried for treason. Romney remained silent during the question-and-answer session, only to saythat he “of course” did not agree with the sentiment while greeting voters after the event.

The incident nevertheless illustrated what seems likely to be a tricky proposition for Romney as the general election season progresses: balancing the anti-Obama sentiments of the party’s base with the need to maintain a civil level of discourse.

“We have a president right now that is operating outside the structure of our Constitution,” the audience member said to applause. “And I want to know — yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason — but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country.”

Romney didn’t correct the woman, choosing instead to address the question she posed.

Like the sign says: Ask Mitt anything. Just don’t be surprised when this happens:

Mitt Romney doesn't like it when people call him in lies.

““The greatness of “The Avengers” isn’t that it didn’t feel like a superhero movie, but that it embraced it with spectacle and joy””

Okay, so if you know me, and if you’re here, you probably do, you know I have the attention span of a beetle. I’m waiting for something to start and happen, which I’ll be glad to announce when it becomes a thing… but for now, I’m just sort of farting around on the internet, making little funny photos, pissing people off with tweets… you know, being a bit of a child.

My favorite online things? Lizz Winstead. John Fugelsang. A few others. And of course, George Takei. Who amongst us with a brain and a sense of humor doesn’t love these guys and adore George?

Anyway, in the midst of it all, a friend of mine… Eric Trueheart posted a silly photo of Clinton from a year back. I grabbed it and did this:

Draft one of the Clinton Photo. Oops? (And yet… linked to About.com!)

Mitt Romney: Flip Flop Face!

It was just too easy.

Although to be fair to Harvey Dent, I think both sides are bad guys here - regardless of the coin flip.

Guess who thinks Moms shouldn't be able to stay at home? Romney.

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 09:22:00 -0700

Of course, this was four months ago, and the etch-a-sketch has been shaken again.

WASHINGTON — Poor women who stay at home to raise their children should be given federal assistance for child care so that they can enter the job market and “have the dignity of work,” Mitt Romney said in January, undercutting the sense of extreme umbrage he showed when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen quipped last week that Ann Romney had not “worked a day in her life.”

The remark, made to a Manchester, N.H., audience, was unearthed by MSNBC’s “Up w/Chris Hayes,” and aired during the 8 a.m. hour of his show Sunday.

Ann Romney and her husband’s campaign fired back hard at Rosen following her remark. “I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work,” Romney said on Twitter.

Mitt Romney, however, judging by his January remark, views stay-at-home moms who are supported by federal assistance much differently than those backed by hundreds of millions in private equity income. Poor women, he said, shouldn’t be given a choice, but instead should be required to work outside the home to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits. “[E]ven if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work,” Romney said of moms on TANF.

Recalling his effort as governor to increase the amount of time women on welfare in Massachusetts were required to work, Romney noted that some had considered his proposal “heartless,” but he argued that the women would be better off having “the dignity of work” — a suggestion Ann Romney would likely take issue with.

So, that’s what it boils down to:

Staying home to take care of your kids is something rich people get to do. Which, by the way, was the crux of Hillary Rosen’s argument.

So there you go. He will say anything, do anything, simply to buy or lie his way into the white house.

Rick Santorum pal finds it hilarious to talk about shooting Obama...

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:01:37 -0700

“Metaphorically, son! That’s a metaphor I say!”

Wealthy GOP super PAC donor Foster Friess, fresh off announcing a conversion from Rick Santorum’s corner to Mitt Romney’s, drew a little unwanted attention Wednesday when he used gun imagery to weigh in on the shifting state of the 2012 race.

“There are a lot of things that haven’t been hammered at because Rick and Mitt have been going at each other,” Friess said during an interview on Fox Business News. “Now that they have trained their barrels on President Obama, I hope his teleprompters are bulletproof.”

He quickly went on to admit that he “probably shouldn’t have said that.”

It’s not the first time Friess has created controversy during a media appearance.

In February, then a top surrogate for Santorum, Friess spoke with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell about what he described as the triviality of the contraception debate.

“This contraceptive thing, my gosh it’s such [sic] inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly,” he said.

He later apologized for the failed “joke.”

Yes, because now is the perfect time to be cracking wise about training a gun on a black guy. Well timed, Foster. Nicely done, Foghorn Asshorn.

So why is the media still interviewing this country fried fool? Because he’s rich? Because his name sounds like an ice cream chain? Or because every time he flaps his gums, it’s a reminder of the old school, mint julep sippin’, dick on a porch mentality that the GOP loves.

You backed the wrong horsesh*t. Now that Santorum is returning to the dining room table in crazy town, it’s time for you to go away.

That’s all folks.

Rick Santorum's first post-election win
