Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the support of Michigan Congresswoman Candice Miller.
“I’m honored to have the endorsement of Congresswoman Miller,” said Mitt Romney. “A tireless advocate for her district and the state of Michigan, Candice Miller agrees with me that our nation’s top priorities must be to get our economy moving again and keeping America strong and secure.
Budget Cuts
Next Month, the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. Older people are easier to catch and less likely to remember how to get back home.
Sarah Palin more popular than ANY GOP primary candidate
This oughta be inneresting…
Newt Gingrich said this week that a brokered GOP convention this year is a real possibility and that “a series of brand new players” could emerge. Rick Santorum thinks so, too.
Who might be a lead contender for the nomination if that happens? According to a PPP poll out this week, it’s Sarah Palin.
The talk of a brokered convention never seems to die down and one interesting finding on this poll was that Sarah Palin is far more popular than any of the actual Republican candidates in the race. Her net favorability is +48, with 68% of voters rating her favorably to only 20% with a negative opinion.…
Why the Etch A Sketch Will Lead to Even More Lies From Mitt Romney
George W. Bush saved the economy almost exactly the same way he caught bin Laden.

Yesterday should have been Mitt Romney’s day.
He’d won Illinois handily. And then he received the endorsement from Gallant to George W.’s Goofus—Jeb Bush. Then, you know: the Etch A Sketch thing.
Comic John Fugelsang asked Romney advisor Eric Fehrnstrom if Mitt had moved too far to right. Fehrnstrom then compared his boss to to a device that constantly erases itself. This was a flub, a real Washington gaffe in that someone accidentally told the truth.
As Jonathan Chait tweeted: “Political cynicism is smart.…

Etch-A-Sketch Mitt will be severely whatever you want him to be after the primary
Ctrl-Alt-Delete
Mitt Romney is just like an Etch-A-Sketch where you can clear the message and start over again at any time without any trace of the past. That’s not ME saying that. It’s his spokesperson & Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom :
Appearing on CNN this morning, Romney Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom was asked if he’s concerned that Romney may alienate general election voters with some of the hard-right positions he’s taken during the primary to appeal to conservatives. Fehrnstrom brushed this concern off:
HOST: Is there a concern that Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to tack so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election.

Mitt Romney hates teachers
We’re failing our children!
Last summer I posted a rant against the GOP’s demonization of teachers that gained a bit of traction. It went like this:
In any rational society, teachers are not considered “costs”. They are considered assets. Something to be valued. Something to be rewarded. The Republicans have done an amazingly effective job of turning the public’s perception from seeing teachers as a valuable asset to seeing them as parasitic leeches on the jugular vein of society. Rather than valuing them for the important role they play in our society — that of educating our children — they are now coming to be viewed as a “cost”, something to be cut when times get hard.…
Romney economic advisor posts joke about deporting seniors to cut the budget on the day the Ryan plan was released
Stay classy, professor
A top economic adviser for Mitt Romney, a Harvard professor named Greg Mankiw posted a “joke” on his blog yesterday that really makes you question the guy’s judgement. Here’s a screen shot:
Next Month, the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. Older people are easier to catch and less likely to remember how to get back home.
Oh, hardy har har har, eh? Those senile old people, they are soo-ooo funny! And, hey, that’s a sure fire way to win over the senior and Hispanic voters in this country.…
Would the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?
The real Shady Willard
A few weeks ago, I asked you to call Mitt Romney a liar.
I’m not the only one obsessed with Mitt’s lying, of course. Fine minds including Steve Benen, Greg Sargent, Jonathan Chait and Jamelle Bouie have all been struggling with Mitt’s disturbing willingness to dissemble and the media’s even more disturbing unwillingness to call him on his lies.
It seems clear now. Mitt isn’t going to stop lying. Why?
Mitt would rather be seen as a liar than be seen as what he is: a con man willing to take any position he needs to take to win.…
Blind Trust – n. What you need to vote for Mitt Romney
MITT ROMNEY, Y U NO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING BUT MITT ROMNEY?
There’s only one explanation: Mitt Romney is a robot sent back from the future to destroy Mitt Romney.
How else do you explain this passionate defense of a woman’s right to a safe abortion?
Or who can forget, “I like mandates. The mandates work.”
And here’s my favorite: “The blind trust is an age old ruse.”
Of course, Mitt Romney described a blind trust is an “age old ruse” in 1994. Future Romney knew that the blind trust would become his defense from everything. He’d use it to defend investing in the Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts.…
