When asked about Mitt Romney's tax returns, David Axelrod, in an interview with ABC, said Mitt Romney is the most secretive candidate since Richard Nixon. Watch it.
He thinks if he talks with a kindly, polite style, he can say anything and a certain amount of people will accept it as kindly words from a polite gentleman who presents himself with a smile and a handshake. These same accepting people are not listening to a word the man is saying! It is like there is a zombie army of lockstep republican wanna be robots out there willing to support Romney even though he is the face that outsourced millions of jobs to China.
Who would want four years of the Romney, theking of strip and flip outsourcing the middle class out of existence?
You think he has done damage before? Wait until he gets the keys to the White House!
He will strip the copper out of the walls and floors and put up a pole barn to replace it.

Yeah, Linda! He also reminds me of Snidely Whiplash from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Whenever I see him speaking this song goes through my head: "you're a sly one, Mr. Grinch, as mean as mean can be." only the grinch was redeemed in the end.
TAX THE RICH, talking about robme makes me want to be a child again.

Romney reminds me of Oil Can Harry the infamous dark villian of the Mighty Mouse cartoon series with the evil grin and handle bar mustache. He used to have that evil grin right before he would tie somebody to the railroad tracks, then Mighty Mouse would swoop in and save them. If only life were really like that.

Pat yes I know but still havent become mormom yet as I love my morning coffee to much so I will gamble and see where I end up by living an honest life. I saw a thing on facebook yesterday morning and I did something I dont do was to put a comment on politicos page and some right lady came on and said I didnt get the time for the tea baggers correct and several other things. I told her I used the stimulus as an example of how the gop and then the tea baggers blocked or watered down bill that caused this presidents plans not to work well. She never answered my open question where are the jobs that 11 years bush tax breaks were to create, and no answer on this and only obamacare is the largest tax hike. These people wont answer the question.
I am waiting to see what the talking points of romneys people will be when they go running around the sunday talk shows. I bet they will have the blind trust and wife trust thing down word for word. I would like it if somebody would tape all of them and play them side by side and you can see it is a script. The weathy and corporations have their man and they will try to win at all cost...

I've said this before. The guy reminds me way too much of Nixon. Secretive (another word for liar), The only choice the pubs have with the gaggle of clowns that ran, he has a 'plan' to create jobs, kind of like Tricky Dicks secret plan to end the Vietnam war. Everything with Nixon was a secret. Their eyes even look similar. Liars eyes. I flat do not trust Romney. Being as vague as he is on damn near every issue is the same as lying to me .He looks like the same kind of 'be careful what you wish for' candidate we ended up with 44 years ago who ended up resigning in disgcrace.

Go back to 2008 and all the fuss made about Obama's religion. This was a big deal, folks. The teabaggers were just getting started, hadn't even come up with their idiotic name yet. Obama was a "secret" muslim, by golly, and Rev. Wright was in my face every hour on some anti Obama commercial. You remember that un American Rev. Wright, yeah, the Vietnam vet Rev. Wright who said everything I would say if I had grown up black in America.
Now it's 2012 and no talk of the candidates' religion. That's because the super Christian teabagger gop is about to nominate the first, are ya ready for it, NON CHRISTIAN as their new golden boy to defeat the anti-Christ, only we don't call Obama that anymore. Now, it's the economy, stupid, because that was something we can talk about now that the good Christians of the teabag nation have been told that their leader, willard mittens robme is as good a Christian as they are. But, down deep, these teabaggers know; Mormons are not Christians, and that's a fact.
My personal opinion, the religion of a candidate really doesn't matter a bit, but his total lack of character and honesty is worth mentioning. I think robme is a terrible human being and if I believed in the Anti-Christ, he would be it.
TAX THE RICH, willard is the candidate from hell!!! Of course, as you know, Ron, according to "South Park," only Mormons go to heaven.

There was seriously criminal activity going on at those state GOP conventions. People were being assaulted. The Romney goons were out in force sabotaging everything state by state because the Ron Paul delegates were a serious threat. Ron Paul's supporters showed far more enthusiasm for their candidate than there had been for Romney and he knew it. A precious few journalists were willing to cover any of this. If the press had shown some real heat and light on the situation it might have been stopped. Then all of a sudden Rand Paul goes rogue and endorses Romney. I find the whole thing entirely suspicious. A very similar thing happened to Ross Perot and he suddenly dropped out of his Presidential bid. Just look at what was going on in the GOP primary and caucus elections. Precinct captains not turning in their totals or turning in a different total than what was there. Not one person called to answer for any of this activity. One state GOP chairman forced to resign but why wasn't he criminally charged? See how easy it is to throw an election in this country? If it had not been for smartphone video we wouldn't even have found out what we did. This is proof positive the media is far more interested in the drama and the ratings than they are in the truth. Don't be surprised at anything after this. People have got to stop being so damned naive.

Indeed Robme, will be just like crook Nixon. But that is why I want Ron Paul to be in there at the Convention, in Tampa. Don't know if he can change what is now accepted, but I just would like to see the party of No! No! No! Fight, among themselves. I still think Obama will be re-elected. Some of this stuff that the Gop is doing, is going to blow up in their faces, and the first step of that is Tampa!

Yes this is Rove"s cover for his secret donors to give to money to defeat this president. If you look at all these gop groups that are super pacs they are all 501-C4s as they can write it off their taxes when they donate. The deal is they cant talk to the canidate or his campain. They are allowed to run informational ads only, but now they are running ads that smear people's good names and deeds. Do you all remember Colbert started a super pac call A BETTER TODAY TOMORROW TOMORROW. This was his way to show how the stupid court's sold us out in the citizens united case. and how you can run political ads and hide money and dont have to show who gives money. This deal with mittens he is trying to show he was just a business person who chose to give the money to his wife so he would be free to run. He his hiding his money and he knows it. You cant say anyother way. You all remember I am not a crook Nixon that what we will have if this guy wins.

This is getting nowhere near the pub that Obama's birth certificate got and much more insidious.
