Mitt Romney Squirms from 'Romnesia' Stingby Deaniac83 at the People's View

"SNIP.............................................
He thinks the president is being "petty." Here's a news flash, Mitt. If what the President said didn't have a way of cutting to the bottom of the problem with your incredible dancing candidacy, you would never have spared a thought on it. The fact of the matter is, this campaign is about big things. Here are just a few big things the President pointed out in describing your Romnesia:
...........................................
So, Mr. Romney, pay attention. There is nothing petty about the President pointing out your attempt to con the American people the same way you conned the companies and employees you devastated while you ran Bain. There is nothing petty about reminding the country that you have shamelessly advocated for an employer determining what kind of health care one can get, for a budget that would have decimated programs for those who need a hand up (be they students, the working poor, the disabled, the elderly or the unemployed), for the end of the American auto industry, and that your first step to reducing the debt is to add $8 trillion to it. There is nothing petty about not letting you get away with you pretending now that you haven't been running for the past six years as a severe right-winger.
This isn't petty. This is dead serious.
This is literally a dead serious choice between a Commander in Chief who has ended a war, is ending another, and killed bin Laden and a foreign policy buffoon who openly discouraged going after bin Laden. This is a dead serious choice between a candidate who was more concerned with scoring political attacks when our embassy was burning in Libya and a President whose goal from Day 1 has been to get to the bottom of the tragedy and hold responsible those who attacked us, in a situation much more complicated than 30-second soundbites. This is a choice between a President respected by our allies and feared by our enemies and a bumbling idiot who trips all over himself going to the countries of our closest allies.

(14,177 posts)If Romney didn't have such a bad record of flip flopping, etch-a-sketching, and lying then people would think it's a silly thing to say about him. But, he has been doing this his whole life and there is a lot of video evidence of it. So, he's just going to have to live with that pre-existing condition because the only cure is the truth and Romney wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in the head.

(3,888 posts)because he isn't in the habit of telling it.
But i bet he knows, to the penny, how much loot in his counting house.
Lying con-men, such as Romney, should keep a low profile. Its what allows them to be successful in their game. Once everyone knows they are not honest they lose their edge.
I'd say, Brand Romney has suffered some damage.

(31,402 posts)I wouldn't put it past Romney to take a swing at the President.
He's a narcissistic, sociopathic, a$$hole who can't stand anyone
calling him out.
I LOVE the way BO has made a laughingstock of Romney for all his
lying flip-flops.

@Cranbrook Prep he led his pals in tackling a gay appearing classmate & cut his hair. (a month later, that bullied boy was kicked out of this school because he was caught smoking a cigarette. The bullying Governor's son...got to stay)
Again, same school he tricked a blind teacher by pretending to open glass door when one side was closed and the teacher walked into the hard clear door & fell down, while all Twitt's friends had a good laugh. Again, no discipline or punishment. (Governor's son)
We know about the state troopers uniform of his dad's in college stopping people and pretending to be a cop. Never got in any trouble.
From pushing his kids faces in butter, putting Seamus on too of the car, protesting FOR THE DRAFT & FOR THE VIETNAM WAR while legally dodging the draft himself by taking the deferment reserved ONLY FOR MORMANS. He went to France to get out of draft, & came home quicker than planned when he heard Ann was interested in possibly someone else.
Bullying is his calling card. That's how he makes money...being the big business bully & pretending that EVERYBODY DOES IT. MY mom had an answer for that..."if everyone jumped off a cliff would you?" Mitt would say it's only a little jump...
He has done it in politics continually throughout his career. Especially on his taxes! He says if you do, I will...then when Shannon O'Brien releases her tax returns instead of doing the same, he dodged it by saying...what about your husband's tax returns...and NEVER released his own...NOT THEM, NOT NOW! HE IS A FUCKING FRAUD & a BULLY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!
And he's afraid of a bigger liar, Rush Blimpbaugh.
How's he supposed to handle the world if he can't disagree with that bloviated ignoramus! And yet he's gone to great lengths to avoid saying anything specific & that's bullying the voters!
We know he is worse than Bush 2 & beholdin' to the likes of Addelson, Koch, etal & don't think they won't fuck up things for our country & our planet.
He's not just a repeat offender, he's a sociopath.
AND now his family members are invested in voting machines in Ohio. This should be investigated cause the stakes are high very high.
This is scary as hell and if he's attempting to steal this election, this HAS TO BE
I hate to put this out here...but does anyone think the election would be this close if Pres. Obama was white?
Lastly, I hope President Obama kick his privileged lying ass! I really do!
