I lived in Massachusetts when he was governor. He is a competent manager. That's probably the only positive thing I can say about him. He's a semi-likable guy who knows how to run a large organization. He couldn't possibly fuck up as badly as Bush the Younger did.
This thread will be like the Stupid Thing Rick Santorum Says thread. It will serve as a catch-all for the little stupid things that the Romney/Ryan campaign is doing. Like lying about "the average person":
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/romney-stands-comments-video-says-were-not-elegantly-032830339--election.htmlShort version: Romney says his comments were "not elegantly stated", but claims they were taken out-of-context to paint him in a worse light. When asked if he really believed the comments in question, he simply walked away. Am I the only one who suspects seeing the entire video in its original context would just make things worse for Romney?
Word is, Ratt Money wants to get tough on China. Apparently that means he wants taller barbed-wire fences and bigger suicide nets around the factories he bought there.

How are Obama and Romney so close in the polls right now. It's like 48 to 47 percent.
I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.
At the private fundraiser held May 17 where Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney candidly spoke about political strategy—noting that he saw half of the American electorate as freeloaders and "victims" who do not believe in personal responsibility—he discussed various foreign policy positions, sharing views that he does not express in public, including his belief that peace in the Middle East is not possible and a Palestinian state is not feasible.Mother Jones has obtained video of Romney at this intimate dinner and has confirmed its authenticity. The event was held at the home of controversial private equity manager Marc Leder in Boca Raton, Florida, with tickets costing $50,000 a plate. During the freewheeling conversation, a donor asked Romney how the "Palestinian problem" can be solved. Romney immediately launched into a detailed reply, asserting that the Palestinians have "no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."Romney spoke of "the Palestinians" as a united bloc of one mindset, and he said: "I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there's just no way."
Step down Mr. and Mrs. Politically Correct.It's so easy to be "punk" and "aware" living at home.You can't change shit, you're too self-righteous;you're the bigots you flaunt to loathe.
I'm actually beginning to wonder if Romney isn't trying to sabotage his own campaign. You don't make such remarks in public in the YouTube era, even if you are at an ostensibly "private" fundraiser. You have to know that your comments will eventually reach the media and the public, in one form or another.
Oh my, Mittens just shot himself in the foot. In a speech to donors he trashed Obama supporters by accusing them of being perpetually dependant on the government for assistance and of harboring a victim mentality.
