I think we saw all of their worst during the primary. It was one bad candidate after another.
Bachmann would have been HILARIOUS though, in a tragic way. I feel kind of sorry she married a gay man.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm at the point where I'm not entirely sure Santorum would be that much worse than Romney.

Shoulda run Buddy Roemer. I like that guy. Best Republican, even if I disagree with him on so many things.

And the ironic thing is, you truly COULD have a beer with Obama and not Romney, since Romney only "tasted it once in his wayward college days", meanwhile Obama tries the local beer when he goes places all the time.
Fits in quite well with the Republican view of the poor, living the high life off the government with their luxurious refrigerators.
A good test to see whether someone is a selfish asshole or an empathetic human is to tell them that half the country doesn't pay income taxes and to see whether their response is:
1) What can we do to make them pay their fair share?
Or 2) What can we do to help them earn their fair share?

He is also making his own micro-brew from inside the white house lol.

Although I know everything said to be how Republicans really feel, I just can't believe Romney is saying it out loud.
Great read, thanks.
He probably thought no one was taping the talk, much like what happened to Obama during the 2008 primaries where he got caught with the "Clinging to guns and religion" voice over.
I think the GOP will do very well in 2016. They have a lot of charismatic candidates who haven't been running for president for what seems like an eternity. Romney is stale.

This news report spawned probably my favorite Daily Show segment ever.
At least Obama is more right than Romney is.
Hey now, Romney hates poor people of all races
I mean campaign wise. Romney has had some many gaffes and missteps that nearly everything he does makes him look bad. While those choices might be worse, I have to imagine they would try to run a smarter campaign than Romney has been.
Not America only, if this tool becomes presidents, his policies will affect Europe too and the rest of the world. Look what Bush left the world.
This guy is on course to invade Iran when he becomes president because that's what the repubs do, invade countries for giggle and leave the world a dangerous place by the time they leave office.

I really REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY hate that that has become a measuring stick by which to judge a potential president here in the U.S.
Even if I drank beer, I don't want a president that's "one of the guys". I want a fucking leader.
P.S. Before someone reads my post and assumes that I am a Romney supporter, I am not even in the slightest. I just don't think that is anything we should be wanting from our leaders.

Well, if Romney's stance is to be believed, he'd only be leader of half of America. The other half can fuck themselves, apparently.
You know, having observed the criteria the far right uses to decide their votes by, a beer might be raising the bar considerably.
lol, these were posted on kos first and the poster was banned because too many people hid his posts for being (allegedly) fake. Now Markos is upset (justifiabliy, since it cost him a big scoop): http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/17/1132889/-Crap-community-behavior
Let's nip this in the bud. That's an out of context quote a la "you didn't build that." In context, he's saying $250k and under is middle income. He doesn't specify a floor.

I agree with him on some points not all but some.

Why isn't more noise being made over Mitt being born in Mexico?

I'll give him credit for the fact that he's at least consistent in this shitty talking point.
Psssh, pay some income taxes, freeloader!
Yup, edited. Thanks for pointing that out.
I agree, but once again, blame the Republicans for that one. Between Nixon's reprehensible behavior and the GOP making a federal case out of Bill Clinton's primary character flaw, attention has not been on candidates' actual leadership abilities for decades. Although in truth you could probably take it back a bit further and say that it began when JFK beat Nixon in a TV debate because he was better looking.

The juxtaposition of the waiters refilling glasses while spewing hatred towards the poor is an evil that is like something out of an 80s action flick

You get it.
He just means that it would be helpful to have brown skin, like the big advantage Obama has being black.

I don't like the way he phrased his response. He said, "200 to 250k, and less" instead of just saying 250 and under, making the "and less" sound like "oh shit, I just said middle class was 200-250! Better fix that quick."
Also, the fact that he thinks anywhere near 250k is middle income (regardless of where you live) is ridiculous on its own. Middle income for a family of 4 is 50 to 100k.
150k and up is not middle class.

Hmmm I was reading up on Wikipedia a few weeks back. There was an entry claiming he was born to polygamists who fled to Mexico.
Just looked and it's gone.
so much for reverse trolling the birthers.
Who cares about percentages! He's paid more in tax dollars than most Americans make per year. He's done his fair share.
