Money Shot

In the second presidential debate Mitt Romney differentiated himself from George Bush by stating that he'd make America energy independent, that he would seek trade agreements with the countries of South America, and that he would balance the budget.

Unfortunately, George Bush promised all those things, too.

If elected president Mr. Romney, like Bush, will explode the deficit. There'll be tax cuts a-plenty for the wealthy and fuck-all for the environment. He'll probably go to war with Iran because the End-Timers who run this country desperately desire it. And when the world tumbles into the chaos that would inevitably result from such a conflict his rich buddies will be free to steal again, unencumbered by a press suddenly too busy reportin' all that patriotism.

Just like when George was president.

So you can understand why the nation's oligarch's are sitting home viewing and re-viewing Dubya's Greatest Economic Hits with one hand down their pants. It's been four years and they need a new pair of boobs in the White House to satiate their gnawing hunger for more.

Oh, That Mitt

This is simply breathtaking.

A group the Romney's invested in threatened to blackmail GM into liquidation unless the company forked over $12 billion dollars, of which the Romney's made over $100 million profit.

Essentially, when Romney said in 2009 that Detoit should be allowed to go bankrupt, he was just begging for an opportunity to steal.

Remember the story of Paul Ryan barging his way into a soup kitchen so he could pretend to wash dishes? Now it seems that the owner of the charity is losing conservative donors and receiving death threats. Another stellar example of compassionate conservatism.

Ann Romney appeared on The View and claimed that if Mitt didn't win this election then she was through with politics.

She said the same thing in 2008.

------------

In case you weren't counting, Mitt told 31 lies during the second presidential debate. Good old Mitt.

A video has been leaked featuring Mr. Romney telling business owners to make it clear to their employees who specifically to vote for this November, or their jobs are in trouble. How nice.

“This is not complicated for me. If somebody saved my economy, I’d vote for him.” - Bill Clinton

Today's video: In 1994 Ted Kennedy ran against Mr. Romney and put out a ad chastising him for his male-centric staffing habits. To be clear, the percentage of senior-level positions for women declined in Massachusetts when Romney was governor.

Republican Job Creation Update

For the past two years the Republican-led House had the chance to pass any number of jobs bills to get this country back on its feet. Instead, they did nothing, hoping that the lousy economy they were nurturing would ruin Mr. Obama's chance at reelection. That's the Republican way.
