Mitt is getting hammered right now..

[snooper2]

from what I can tell the meme is spreading pretty far that Mittens either needs to shake up his campaign staff or give a real policy speech. It seems the money power that is backing prick-boy are seeing his chances go down the fucking drain.

seems heading by the WSJ

Pics of "obliged Romney vacationing at his estate doing cameos while riding a jet ski"

You should have seen the look on Krauthammer's face earlier talking about the Mitten and his campaign on Faux


hopefully this sticks... I give it a week before he gives a big "policy" speech or somebody gets shitcanned

[BumRushDaShow]

1. These are the same ones

who told Rmoney to "Be yourself. Don't be afraid your wealth. Be proud of what you did." And so now what?

[MannyGoldstein]

2. Agreed, he's in freefall

RomneyObamaCare is a Fee. It's a tax. It's a fee. It's a tax. It's a fee. It's a tax. It's a fee. It's a tax. It's a fee. It's a tax. It's a fee. It's a tax. It's a fee.

Hidden Bermuda bank account.

The worst is the investment in an aborted fetus disposal behemoth. The worst fear of all fundies.

[Carla in Sequim]

26. LOL...That reminds me of a scene from

a movie. Wasn't it Chinatown? My daughter! My sister!
Put Romney in there for a great ad.

[Voice for Peace]

28. I'm reminded of "it's a horse! it's a mule!" from Fiddler on the Roof

[Carla in Sequim]

29. Good one!

Hey, these would be funny and effective ads. He has flip-flopped so many times, there would be enough material to last until November!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. I'm guessing somebody gets fired

Remember, Mitt loves being able to fire people!


Ferhnstrom will likely be the first to go.

[immoderate]

16. And it's a lot easier than creating policy.

--imm

[Proud Liberal Dem]

24. Yup

I'm struggling to think what kind of "policy" idea(s) Mitt might come up with? Tax cuts for the wealthy? Yeah, that's really original.........

[dmkinsey]

45. Seems to me, I recall Mitt's earlier "big policy speech"

was actually a bunch of bumper-sticker slogans strung together.
I don't believe he's capable of speaking a coherent policy speech.

[Left Coast2020]

30. News cycle now indicates he is doing just that.

Saw blip on Cluster Faux he is bringing in "big guns" what ever the hell that means. Probably some hacks from G.W.'s campaign.

[Mopar151]

33. A guy who shoulda gone under the bus a while ago

Other campaign managers (Carville comes to mind) would have killed him bare-handed after the "Etch-A-Sketch" blunder alone.

[winstars]

34. I hope nobody gets fired and all the jerks stay and continue to fuck up!!!

[uponit7771]

38. +1!

[FSogol]

44. My thoughts exactly! Mitt will happily fire everyone.

[jimlup]

4. Do we need to be careful not to blow Romney up too soon?

I mean seriously if the republicans get to much for knowledge that he is a complete dud - they might avoid nominating him and somehow force a brokered convention.

At what point do we stop piling on Mittens until after the convention?

[jaysunb]

10. I totally agree, but,

it's best to, define him now.

[TexasTowelie]

11. Mitt Romney is a job destroyer.

How's that for a definition?

[jaysunb]

14. Good,,,for you and I

we just need to make sure others are aware. the sooner the better.

[Gore1FL]

12. The only way I see that happening is if the Party caves and changes the rules on the first ballots

If the delegates are allowed to vote their conscience (as the Paul people have asked), that *may* deprive Romney of the nomination vote needed.

Who would realistically replace him that actually wouldn't be worse for them?

[wandy]

36. Their can be only 1 great champion to replace Romney. Jeb Bush! n/t

[KurtNYC]

42. Suppose he withdraws for "health reasons" like Rudy did against Hillary?

Giuliani had a similar campaign going -- the more people saw of him, the less they liked him. He pulled out and let another guy go down in flames.

Jeb Bush would run a better campaign and would steal any close election.

[Gore1FL]

55. Jeb would run into the problems Hillary had in 08.

And Bill was a popular president.

I can't see the U.S. getting excited about another Bush.

[handmade34]

17. my thoughts...

I can imagine a scenerio where the people in control force Romney out and bring a new face in that people get really excited about...

I don't see this as a positive

[RedStateLiberal]

19. But...

...that would make them look very desperate and in disarray. I doubt they could recover from that no matter who they pick. Who knows though, with so much apathy, many probably don't even know that Rmoney is the nominee.

[dogknob]

31. These people love desparation...

The cavalry suddenly riding in...

The quarterback throwing the puppy for the big hail-mary touchdown...

...and saviors. Yes they do love saviors.

They will get behind a garlic press if that's what they gotta do to get the black guy out of the White House.

[jimlup]

40. On the other hand I think that the party "bigs"

Have already slotted Mittens as a "throw away" candidate. That is a sacrificial lamb something like Bob Dole in '96. And he's perfect for the role.

As soon as we get a substantial lead this year and are in place to win even in the event of an "October Surprise" we should start working hard on CONGRESS. I think the back room of the Republican party has likely already all but conceded the presidency.

[BumRushDaShow]

48. "As soon as we get a substantial lead...we should start working hard on CONGRESS"

No. You don't wait. You work on BOTH. Democrats need to retake the House and hold the Senate no matter what happens at the top of the ticket. That is why there is a DCCC and DSCC. They are to focus on the Congressional races.

[jimlup]

53. Yeah sure. You're absolutely right ... congress is essential /nt

[jmowreader]

23. I WANT a brokered convention!

It will spell the end of the GOP.

[uponit7771]

39. +1!

[Chan790]

46. That's a win-win.

If we hold off and they nominate him, we destroy him. Conservative turnout is depressed and that favors us in close races.
If we fire away and they broker their convention, it's over for the GOP in 2012 and the downballot for them could be brutal.

They're stuck with holding back the deluge like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dike.

[GoCubsGo]

47. No.

They already know he's a complete dud. Most people can't stand him, and the only reason many GOPers are voting for him is that he isn't Obama, and they really want Obama out. This isn't just about "blowing up" Romney. It's about squashing any enthusiasm in republicans to go out and vote. Romney isn't going anywhere. They are stuck with him. And, the more "bloodied" he is, the shorter are his coattails. AFAIC, he can't be piled on enough.

[morningfog]

5. So much fun to watch. If he wants to chage the story, a policy speech won't do.

They are going to have to announce the running mate. There are only some 50+ days until the convention. He doesn't have many opportunities to distract. THe veep nominee is one. Of course, that is a one time shot and he will soon find himself in this situation again. The reason being, he is a lifelong liar.

[C_U_L8R]

6. And the image of Mitt on a deluxe jet ski

Is going to be a gift that keeps giving.
Thank you Mitt for being more clueless than Mr Magoo
.

[MichiganVote]

7. Totally too tentative on a VP pick. Get on with it.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. John Boner is getting hammered right now, too

Happy hour goes on all evening. By the way, I wonder how Republicans can complain about Romney's lack of policy specifics when no one in their party has offered any policy points besides very general notions of trickle down tax cuts and lifting of regulations. No Republican has stepped forward to describe what programs they would cut if the budget is reduced or what health care plan they would propose if they repealed and replaced the ACA.

[mindwalker_i]

21. I was just going to ask if Mitt and Boner were hanging out

Although asking if Boner is hanging out necessitates brain bleach.

[Chan790]

49. That's certainly a no.

Boehner leaves his wife back in OH because having the ball-and-chain around interferes with his ability to philander and drink.

I can say a lot of things about Mitt Romney but I don't think he shares too much of John Boehner's social calendar.

[snooper2]

13. I'm pretty proud I guess but I'm not really that wealthy..

The car and truck is paid for and the house isn't underwater so I guess that's okay...


Did I give you a signal or something? You do know I'm not running for any office right now. Maybe just god of meta discussion LOL

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. I do believe that the debates are going to be breathtaking....

Mitt just has nothing. Obama is going to just wipe the deck with him. So much material to work with!

[RedStateLiberal]

20. I can't wait!

The debates are going to be embarrassing to Rmoney! I sure hope people pay attention.

[Scootaloo]

27. And all the networks will insist it's "too close to call"

Gotta keep those horses racing!

[GoCubsGo]

51. No. They'll insist that Romney won at least some of them.

Just like they did with Dumbya every time Gore and Kerry wiped the floor with him. Remember how they claimed Al Gore lost his debate because he sighed too much, even though he pounded Dumbya on the issues?

[hifiguy]

54. It will be a Bambi Meets Godzilla show.

That much is certain. Not that it will be reported that way. I wouldn't be surprised if springs and gears shoot out of the Mittwit's head halfway through.

[snooper2]

57. The media will drum up President Obama was being condescending or something

I plan on watching Faux news immediately after each one to see their spin- that's what the talking heads will follow and try to shape the image to be---

Know thy enemy bastards

[mysuzuki2]

18. Hey, I'm on my 5th beer and well on my way to being hammered too!

Why shouldn't Mitt be hammered too?

[ErikJ]

22. Getting hammered in his motel room watching porn?

[HooptieWagon]

25. Mitt-porn = videos of people being fired and laid off?

I bet that really gets him "excited".

[Fridays Child]

32. I hope the Stericycle story gets some sustained coverage.

As it turns out, Mitt's idea of health care reform is different from the ACA, after all. Evidently, he favors affordable fetus disposal.

It's the hypocrisy (as usual!).

[Kablooie]

35. I heard that TV stations are getting rich and plan to expand a lot after the election.

There is beginning to be more loose money to develop new shows thanks to our Republican benefactors.

[DCKit]

37. If any of you has ever heard him say anything substantive, I'd like to hear about it.

To the best on my knowledge, he answers every question with "Why aren't we talking about jobs and the economy?" That's all he's got.

However, I do agree that, if we destroy him too early, we're going to end up with Jeb Bush at the (R) candy-date.

[Tom Rinaldo]

41. I have, rarely...

Usually on foreign affairs and almost always dead wrong, like his comment that Russia is our greatest threat.That said, I've never heard his speak in depth about anything of any substance.

[WI_DEM]

43. the job numbers will change that narrative.

[davidpdx]

50. And don't forget the campaign hiding him from the press

in the Mitness Protection Program

[yellowcanine]

52. "You should have seen the look on Krauthammer's face..."

Did it look as if he were sucking on a lemon? If so, I have seen that look many times. In fact, I think that is his look regardless of the subject.

[Fawke Em]

56. I didn't think he drank!
