I can't believe any middle class american would vote for Romney. My take on this phenomenon is that they hate Barack Obama and minorities (who they see as welfare queens)more than they love themselves. The dichotomy must be paralyzing. |

An off-shore tax haven in Panama provided Bain with the secrecy needed to attract the approximately $6.5 million from the Salvadoran families in what many human rights experts would call “blood money.” see full article: [link to www.counterpunch.org] |

He's a flip-flopper, they say, a lightweight, a cardboard opportunist who'll say anything to get elected. The critics couldn't be more wrong. Mitt Romney is no tissue-paper man. He's closer to being a revolutionary, a backward-world version of Che or Trotsky, with tweezed nostrils instead of a beard, a half-Windsor instead of a leather jerkin. His legendary flip-flops aren't the lies of a bumbling opportunist – they're the confident prevarications of a man untroubled by misleading the nonbeliever in pursuit of a single, all-consuming goal. Romney has a vision, and he's trying for something big: We've just been too slow to sort out what it is, just as we've been slow to grasp the roots of the radical economic changes that have swept the country in the last generation. The incredible untold story of the 2012 election so far is that Romney's run has been a shimmering pearl of perfect political hypocrisy, which he's somehow managed to keep hidden, even with thousands of cameras following his every move. And the drama of this rhetorical high-wire act was ratcheted up even further when Romney chose his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin – like himself, a self-righteously anal, thin-lipped, Whitest Kids U Know penny pincher who'd be honored to tell Oliver Twist there's no more soup left. By selecting Ryan, Romney, the hard-charging, chameleonic champion of a disgraced-yet-defiant Wall Street, officially succeeded in moving the battle lines in the 2012 presidential race.

Way to change the subject! The subject is Taibbi and what he wrote about Romney. A journalist's character influences his judgement and perspective. In Taibbi's case, he's not really a "journalist." He's a hack, progressively-biased hatchet-piece writer. His presentations aren't the least bit balanced. To Taibbi, everything pro-progressive is wonderful and beyond reproach. Everything non-progressive is evil. He's a one-trick pony. Therefore, he's not even worth reading. But then, it doesn't really matter. Rolling Stone's small readership will have no effect on this election. As I said in a previous reply, RS readers aren't voting for Romney anyway. Last Edited by Doc Savage on 08/30/2012 12:58 PM |

Not a lot of revelation - but an honest analisis of Romney's and Ryan's game. Most of us will find it hard to dispute much of this - which explains the comments from the political junkies. |
chris999 User ID: 19470458 United States 08/30/2012 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Romney is a monster. The way his ethics are are just wrong. He takes pleasure in "firing people" so that rich motherfuckers can make a little bit more profit. That is GREED. When people put the profits of the 1% over the wellbeing of hardworking people who have fallen victim to a false economic collapse. This collapse was engineered on purpose, and the goal is to take away everything from us, and take all of our rights too. They are trying to destroy America so that the UN world government can rise from our ashes. Our President's first duty should be to the Constitution and the well-being of his people... not international banks. God wake the fuck up already. I dont mean everything I say to be literal. I just like to throw around ideas, and play devil's advocate. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. -Galileo Galilei |
