Election 2012

[infinite monkey]

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney says in one clip. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."

I'm voting for Obama. So, I believe I am entitled to all these things I work for? No, Mr Romney. Take your 47% and shove it. I am among this 47% and I believe in working hard and making your way the best you can, and I believe I live in a society that doesn't dismiss the people who are disabled, disenfranchised, displaced or whatever words you want to use to describe those you turn your nose up at.

"At a fundraiser you have people say, 'Governor how are you going to win this?' And so I respond 'Well, the president has his group, I have my group. I want to keep my team strong and motivated and I want to get those people in the middle.' That's something which fund-raising people who are parting with their monies are very interested in," Romney said.

Yes, Biff, your 'group' is the set of hugely wealthy people at this party who are up your ass while they eat their caviar and pat themselves on the back for being better than that other group (and get just as drunk and stupid as us normal folk.) They lapped that shit up as you said it, and you know it. Those ARE 'your people' and you can have them.

I used to work Boehner parties. Even in my town of pathetic rich wannabes (who really aren't rich enough to be anybody, really) it's sickening.

"My dad, as you probably, know was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico ... and, uh, had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this," Romney said. "But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico.... I mean I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino."

It would be helpful to be Latino? Helpful to whom? Helpful in what way?

Jebus Gob don't let this man win.

Agreed.

'Course, I say the same about Obama.

Two used car salesmen...mediocre of intellect and idea.

Bleh...Romney is a giant dickhead and Obama is not. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it, and I've got my fingers in my ears (while saying lalalallalaaa) when you tell me how they're all the same. Because, that isn't helpful. You may choose to live on the fringe of everything, but I do not...and I believe in certain ideologies.

Bleh.

Well, for one thing we could have deported the bastard.

Funny that he thinks that as a Latino Republican he would even be considered as a presidential candidate by his party.

“This is a guy running for President who says he’s a great businessman and that he knows how to create jobs…He was such a monster there … To me, he’s a demon. How could this guy have any compassion? How could this guy really care about this country? … This new scam, leverage buyouts, it doesn’t produce a product! It takes money and puts it into other people’s hands … If this is a guy who is fundamentally out for himself and not altruistic and want to help other people? How could a guy like that be President? … This was just an industry of moving money around…It reminds me of, like, a bank robbery.”

Seriously?

We're supposed to choose our President from advice by a shock jock, who has become famous for saying things unwelcome in polite company?

And who is Mr. DJ beholding to? Let's see -- oh! the FCC, by golly! Who could yank Mr. DJ's license, and his job would be ALL GONE.

But I'm SURE Mr. DJ is COMPLETELY UNBIASED - oh sure!

He knows about a Mormon, like he knows about the Higgs Bosun particle, and why it gives us mass.

I don't follow Howard Stern much at all, but I know enough that I know he made the jump to satellite radio a few years back. The hoopla at the time made a big point of saying that because it was a subscriber only service, the FCC had no jurisdiction. And oh boy what was Howard Stern going to do once there was nothing to hold him back?

Howard Stern doesn't remotely care about the FCC. Even when he was on the radio, he didn't care.

Of course, he cared. That's his "shtick", that he doesn't care.

Howard's no dummy, and he knows the dear old President has an enemies list. If you get on it, you WILL have an IRS audit, and any other nuisance the fed's can give you - which is usually plenty.
Just like Joe the Plumber.

Howard does NOT want to be on the President's bad side - and he's a liberal (definitely!) anyway. So why would he have ANYTHING good to say about Romney?

Would Romney be a guest on Howard's show, or approve of it personally? No.
Would Romney supporters be subscribers to Howard's show? No.

Howard's an ass, but he's certainly not a stupid ass. He knows which side of the toast has the butter on it.

I think I understand your logic here Adak.

Yes, just exactly as seriously as the legions of zombie dittoheads who get all they know from that other Mr DJ, El Rushbaugh, Rush Limbaugh. Because we all know he's not beholden to those who provide his "obscene profits", yeah. He's COMPLETELY UNBIASED.

Aren't you guilty of some kind of ideological miscegenation having even admitted to listening to Howard Stern? What's the penalty for that? Or are you looking for asylum?
