Sullivan to Mittens: Fk you

[hifiguy]

The offense was calling 47 percent of Americans moochers, and saying that Obama's voters were simply voting for more money from the makers. And this horrible, callous, contemptuous, Randian sentence:

"[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

He did not say: "I'll never convince them they should vote for me." He accused 47 percent of Americans of choosing not to "take personal responsibility and care for their lives." He's describing half the country as parasites, bleeding the productive half dry. Half the country. He includes me, an Obama supporter, who pays three times the tax on my income that Romney does, who immigrated at 21, whose parents never went to college, and whose blog now employs five people.

You know what, Mitt? Fuck you.

That's about as clear cut as anything can be now, isn't it?

1. hear, hear

I left home as a teenager, enlisted, served my country, and have worked in corporations for 31 years but it's not enough for conservative garbage like Romney - because I vote for the people more likely to care about the issues I care about, he calls me a parasite.

You know what, Mitt? Fuck you.

5. Skittles, you and I have done more for this country in one day than that creep

has done in his entire life.

Hand salute, Zoomie

Almost forgot, fuck you, Romney

[Skittles]

24. he didn't bother to serve yet he pimps for war

Hand salute back at ya, sarge

[sarge43]

6. Same Here

Last night I was watching Lawrence O'Donnell and the minute Mitt blurted out that asinine statement I yell F**k you at the tv. I do not normally yell at my tv but his comment elicited a very visceral reaction from me. I cannot stand this man and I want him to go away so badly.

[Arugula Latte]

9. Me too. He invokes a visceral reaction in me now.

My attitude towards Romney over the past several months has gone from "Eh, he's an empty suit who has to pretend he's super conservative to get anywhere in his stupid party" to "I hate that fucker with the same kind of burning loathing I feel for Cheney."

[SleeplessinSoCal]

7. How about mentioning his company caused joblessness? He outsourced. He hides his money.

His reveal on the tape is indeed Randian. And we can't stress that enough.

"Mitt Shrugged" bumper sticker?

[japple]

15. "Mitt Shrugged"--brilliant bumper sticker! Your creation?

If not, you ought to.

[proReality]

17. Or 'Mittlas Shrugged' n/t

[Meandering1]

18. Like it

This is a guy who, in the words of Studs Terkel (referencing Ronald Reagan) "never waited for a bus in the rain"

[sarge43]

27. Perfect summation

Welcome to DU

[closeupready]

8. It astounds me that Romney doubled down on this outrageous

remark today, yet, double down he did.

[KamaAina]

14. Hey, Mitt!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. You know what, Mitt? Fuck you.

I've worked full time for 43 years and have paid federal tax in every one of those years. I'm a Democrat and an Obama voter. Fuck you and the dressage horse on a car elevator you rode in on.

[Cha]

20. We had somebody on here

saying the same thing the other day! Seems to be really all there is to say.

Thanks Sully. Thanks for the link, hifiguy.

[dinger130]

22. I am beyond appalled.

I owned a business for years until the Gulf Oil Spill. Paid lots of taxes. Still waiting for BP to compensate me. I couldn't hold my business together and finally had to close.

Worked 35 years and took early Social Security and am taking care of my elderly mother in lieu of her going to a nursing home. Personal responsibility? How about BP/corporate fat cat responsibility for devastating my life. In Romney's world, it's all my fault.

He is a disgrace. Kiss my ass!

[Skittles]

23. welcome to DU, dinger

you're a good person
