Guys, you’re embarrassing yourselves

If attack points were the food upon which campaigns feed, Mitt Romney has begun to mine the stinking, dead carcasses of roadkill possums.

I’m not kidding. Mitt Romney is actually going BACK to attacking President Obama using the assassination of Libyan ambassador Christopher Stevens. It’s a topic that Romney so completely and tragically botched that it ended any hope of him ever becoming president. And yet he’s going “there”.

Dude, don’t you get dizzy?

Mitt Romney is out in the open telling two completely different stories about how he both WILL and WON’T lower taxes on America’s wealthiest citizens. He WILL, he says, because it will spur the economy. He WON’T, he says, because he’ll be closing some as-yet undisclosed loopholes.

Both sides of his face revealed after the jump.

Mitt’s still trying to become a real Bush. Last night, Mitt Romney explained the newest version of RomneyCare. “Well, we do provide care for people who don’t have insurance,” he said in an interview with Scott Pelley of CBS’s “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night. “If someone has a heart attack, they don’t sit in their apartment and die. We […]

REMINDER: People on welfare didn’t cost us 15 million jobs and trillions in savings. People on Wall Street did. Mitt Romney released one doctored tax return this week but he also – accidentally – released something that no one expected: some truth. Thanks to a waiter with a small camera and gigantic metaphorical testicles, James E. Carter and David Corn […]

Has there ever been such a totally fail presidential campaign before???

Guess who said this:

“I can change Washington. I will change Washington. We’ll get the job done from the inside. Republicans and Democrats will come together.”

If you thought that was from Senator Barack Obama, circa Summer 2008, you’d be dead wrong. That was Mitt Romney. Yesterday.

Hey, Mitt! Ur doin it wrong.

There’s a great new ad out by the Obama campaign called “47 percent”. It shows everyday Americans reacting as they listen to Mitt Romney’s “I don’t care about half the country” speech to campaign donors at the Boca Raton home of private equity manager Marc Leder on May 17.

Watch it after the jump.

The nerve of some people…

Anne and I cracked ourselves up over this last night:

Whoa.

There’s one “polling” site that I watch more than any others. More than Gallup. More than Pollster. More than any other. It’s Electoral-Vote.com.

I like it because it basically takes the most recent legitimate poll from each state and gives you a day-to-day snapshot of where the presidential race stands in terms of the all-important electoral vote count.

Say, Mitt, when will these guys take personal responsibility & care about THEIR lives?

With Mitt Romney bloviating about how half the country are tax cheats that feel “entitled” to things like food and healthcare and housing, I got to thinking about who else in the USA doesn’t pay taxes. Then I remembered a report by the Citizens for Tax Justice (pdf) that came out earlier this year. It was a report that showed 26 Fortune 500 companies — PROFITABLE Fortune 500 companies, I should add — that paid no taxes or actually got a rebate every year since 2008.

Major rant after the jump.

Are you ready to eat cake?

Like the rest, or at least 99.9%, of the country, I was appalled and offended when I watched the video tape of Mitt Romney at a fundraiser telling his super-wealthy benefactors that half the country thinks they are entitled to food and healthcare and housing and that he didn’t care about them. I was incensed that he would describe half of Americans as not being willing to take personal responsibility and care about their lives.

Yeah, that’s offensive, all right. It’s also completely unsurprising. Come on, be honest. Did you really think that Mitt Romney felt any other way about those of us who don’t make they kind of money he makes?

What was most offensive to me in that video was the guy asking the question. Follow me over the fold for more.

You can’t even run a campaign, why would we trust you to run the country?

In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama was asked about his lack of business background by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen. He told Andreessen, “Watch how I run my campaign — you’ll see my leadership skills in action.”

This was good advice and it’s advice that we should take now when looking at the campaign of Mitt Romney. A killer article by Politico today shows just how absolutely failed Mitt Romney’s campaign is. If this is an example of Mitt Romney’s leadership skills, Americans of all political stripes should be given serious pause about his ability to lead the country.
