Holy Crap! GOP and Romney Must have Shit over the Opening Ceremony

[DemocracyInaction]

They must have first crapped over the opening part of the huge drum beating of the laborers marching, working, dirty, struggling and the cigar smoking capitalists. Then there was the whole section of their celebrating their national health care system. And then the music and dancing of the modern era. I'll bet you my butt that Limbaugh and the animals will be screaming "socialists" and "commies" and that Mitt should have insulted them more!!! The wingers must have screamed, pulled their kids away from the tv and washed their eyes out. Most of it was way over the head of the Amurekan red necks.

Another beautifully subtle dig.

10. This Is For Everyone

The Olympic opening was just beautiful!!! The celebration of England's National Health Service was awesome. Wonderful that England also recognized & paid a powerful tribute to the working class throughout the years!!! Loved the Web Message "This Is For Everyone".

12. Bain Ownership of HCA Hospitals in England

I am sure Romney walked out because of his/Bains ownership of HCA,Hospital Corporation of America.They own hospitals in England.Just another reason why Romney must publish all his/Bain financials.Romney yaks about Medicare and Medicaid.He needs to tell us all about his many healthcare investments.Go google Bain HCA. Be amazed.

13. I was particularly moved

by the 500 construction workers who worked on Olympic venues forming an honor guard for the Olympic Flame. That was a very classy way to give recognition to the work of laborers.

15. I got teary eyed. Yes. Very moving.

14. Your last sentence is spot on!

"Most of it was way over the head of the Amurekan red necks."

16. ... and made moreso by the commentators

WTF kind of total inane and dismissive drivel was coming out of Lauer/Viera et al's mouths? Made me embarrassed to be an American, yet again.
