If a Democratic candidate made the same comment about dirty bombs they would be ruined. This ass does not even have a clue what a dirty bomb is and that it does not require fission just some radioactive waste. As I remember the last Republican administration detained and probably tortured an ignorant thug for thinking about it. Romney needs to be locked up and put on medication. No hyperbole intended.

She just says "no" when the Fox anchor asks her if Mitt disdains the poor. Did the video that was taken down actually have her saying that?

pass some of that...



It is fun to come home from covering a local city council debate (where the bumblings were not even close to this level... in fact, any of those four could possibly run rings 'round Mitt, and one it is her first time at this rodeo)

you are in trouble when a city council neub does better than a fracking candidate for the presidency of the United States.

I'd rather have George and Laura than have to look at these two entitled assholes, and comparing George and Laura Bush against someone and them NOT being entitled assholes compared to them is saying something.

Ann and Mitt give me the creeps.

But I think I could smoke a shitload of it and conduct a better campaign than this one ten minutes afterwards.

"Doesn't disdain the poor?"

"Oh, Mitt, he's a great guy. He doesn't drop his trousers and piss on homeless people, or take a shit in a poor child's school lunch. He's a great guy like that."

showing disdain when you said they would never be responsible for themselves, you were showing them disdain. I don't care how 'elegantly' you put it. Hey Mitt. As one of the the 47 percent people, I will show you my taxes for the past 15 years if you show me yours. I have nothing to hide.

It's like LBJ's tactic of calling his opponent a pig fucker, just to hear him deny it, except the opponent is the one making the allegation.
