He railed about during the 2012 election... too many 'sound bytes' of him doing so.

It would play as well as his 47% remark.

2. I think there was enough footage

recorded during 2012 that it would contradict anything he could say, wasn't there? I know he made it clear that it couldn't work for the entire country. That is was never intended for the entire country. He was so busy saying embarrassingly stupid things I don't remember much of what he said about the ACA.

Mitt never met an issue he wouldn't flip flop over in order to win an election.

which, after the rightwing flip-out over it, makes VERY unlikely.

And while rMoney may be smart by some standards, he is stupid in the sense I am using it, i.e. "clueless."

16. That's just as stupid an assertion as the OP...

...How well did Sheldon Adelson's SuperPAC deliver the nomination for Gingrich? SuperPACs can spend a lot of money, but that won't deliver the votes of a Tea Party base for a mainstreamer like Romney.
