(793 posts)Sometimes I had to put my Pick-up up on blocks when I didn't have the money for brake parts!
So I feel a real kinship to Mittens as well

This Romney ploy is so obvious as to be laughable: take all your own worst traits and keep trying to pin them on the other person.

(793 posts)it is the old projection game.
I sometimes wonder if they really take to heart all those extreme views. then I realize that mental health is not really strong from the right.

(12,272 posts)Projection is also a political ploy often used by the rethugs. However, I stand by my statement that Romney's mental processes don't quite shoot straight.

(100,063 posts)When he walked through a cemetery one time people thought that the dead had been reanimated.
Whenever someone says "it's the quiet ones you got to watch" he's usually the one they're referring to.
His idea of a good time is a glass of warm milk and some personal reflection.
He takes joy in the in flight entertainment selections.
He asks for extra mayo.
He is Mitt Romney - THE LEAST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD!!

"Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders equity, myself included, are in a state of shocked disbelief." -- Alan Greenspan, at a hearing on Capitol Hill in 2008

In 2008, during the worst financial crisis since the great depression, Romney ran for President and couldn't even get nominated. He was nominated this time because the other candidates were a complete joke.

(280 posts)...the $15+ trillion in {SECRET} loans and bailouts in the last days of the (2000-2008) Republican administration.
Even before he was president, people were saying they didn't trust G.W. Bush because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. After all is said and done, whose side did he end up on? The side of the Middle Class? No!
The Middle Class was hardest hit by deregulation that led to a financial crisis and resulted in a global recession. Yet without missing a beat, the Republican party was once again fighting to keep wall street and the banksters deregulated!
The hypocrisy of the GOP is astounding. Republicans have long held the belief in hands-off, free market, laissez-faire economics. Well, that is, until they found a "flaw" in their economic ideology, as Greenspan put it.
Then they adopted a totally opposite philosophy. Hands-on "no-strings-attached" bailing out of the banksters. But don't let that fool you. They always go right back to privatizing and deregulating!
...Is it any wonder the GOP's "new candidate" personifies the values of an elite, out-of-touch, 1%, wall street, bankster?
