Here is what is REALLY truly silly this season. Mr. Romneys real resume. His resume for Bane. Which is also the evil character in the new Batman movie the lat with Mr. Bale as lead. Anyhoo. Does anyone else at all see what I see as disturbing? The fact that Mr. Romney is a pathological liar. Saying one group of lies to the mass and another to the rich friends club. Do you know why this is? I shall enlighten you promptly.; ]

It is because America although now on an upswing mild though it may be was a sinking ship for a number of years. Now with a credit downgrade to boot. So therefore Mr. Romney being a SEVERE conservative sees America as a flailing business. What has Mr. Romney done with Bane and Flailing business? He sinks the ship. While Promising the C.E.O's a turn around and promising the employees there job security and continued benefits in actuality he is planning a plunder and rape of assets and liquidation. ; ]

To be clear he sees America as a vessel to be pirated. He wants to sink America for good which is why he cares not when he is caught in blatant lies and assumes an etch a sketch is a good way to describe his manner instead. This thought of mine describes him well because as we saw with the back room gaffe on mic Mr. Romney telling his good buddy's something completely different then what it is he is telling his loyal following. The crowd of AVERAGE GOP'ers are the employees being fed promises of job security and benefits intact while his RICH kin are being fed the lines of "give me monetary support and riches you shall see"..

Because his plans for America are NO LESS then liquidation and destruction for his own personal gain as he did so many times with Bane. ; ] Again America to Mr. Romney and ilk is nothing more then a failed business which they plan to cash in on hence the staunch position of NO raised taxes on himself or his ilk. ; ] MAXIMUM VALUE. ; ]

Your welcome. ;]

Cheers

I'm on my way back to the Friday Drunk Parade (I'd quit my job, but I just can't bring myself to learn the secret handshakes usually necessary for success on Planet Utah).

Before I go, however, here are a couple links that appeared on other threads (nice Freudian there, Grandpa. Trying to get some tire tracks off your nice clean suit are you?). Mitt's "vulture capitalism" is well-documented here, and the lack of regulation--begun under the Reagan Administration--points to how businesses were cannibalized--opening the way for Chinese competition--factors which have fueled the "Great Recession."

Cabdriver Thought for the Day: Never attribute to malice that which can successfully be explained by incompetence...

The Chinese were invited in by Clinton who had that little thinggoing on with the Chinese financiar of Democratic causes, if you will recall. Oh, I'm sorry,that was back in your really serious inebriation days, when current events didn't register at all with you.

I agree, Keith Longey!! Romney has built businesses & saved the Winter Olympics a few years ago & has saved businesses from going bankrupt!! What has OSTUPID done beside be jealous of those who worked hard & HATE & HATE & HATE!! He is full of jealousy & hate!! Everyone should read the book by Dinesh D'Souza "The Roots of Obama's Rage".

One of those roots taps directly into the vileness of the Rev. Jerimeah Wright and that ilk of America trashers. That was the genesis of his world wide apology tour even before he was sworn into office.

Lets retire this clown back to Chicago and maybe he could put himself out to try solving the epidemic problem of the horendous black on black criminal activity, after all any of those 100s of shot and killed black youths could be his sons, just as Trayvon Martin could have been, feeding on the rage born of believing in the words of the gangsta' rappers who live in multi million dollar houses in Malibu, and never spent a day on the streets of the "hood"! Geeeze! It would be laughable if it weren't such a tragic waste.

Ahh, so many on threads from other stories say what Mr. Romney accomplished economically., Mr. Romney BACK then. That was a time long ago foregone and of a bygone era. You know, when he was a Massachusetts liberal. ; ] He is not going to do ANYTHING to help this country with an extremist right wing ideology holding him up. Cramping his hamstring. * years of unfettered republican conservatism got us what? Disaster of epic proportions. ; ]

In fact if you recall our credit rating has been down graded. A perfect MARK for a bird of prey economically speaking. ; ] Asinine antics of the cause of the right is doomed to failure. We live in a global market now. ; ]

Crazy methodology means little in the face of actuality. Fact is fact and reality is just that. It is there for us all to see. The Revolution is televised. ..

Competition is fierce. ;]

Cheers

Get a grip!

The refusal of the Democrats to cut the excessive Federal spending of the past 3&1/2 years and address needed restructuring of the myriad of "entilement" programs led to the downgrade of the US Credit rating from AAA to AA1a, and if they don't get off their fat arses in Congress and this Administration this year, it will be downgraded further, causing such undue hardship of our paying increased amounts of avaialbe tax dollars to pay the increased interest rates that will come from that.

Wake up to the facts, and stop fantasizing about "great right wing conspiracies to raid the tax payers coffers" by the people that are, in fact, trying to turn this disastrous debt financed social and patronage spending around!

God, I need to violate some confidences...

During the 2002 Winter Olympics, there was a "full nude V.I.P. venue" within a half mile of LDS Temple Square. Okay, I only have hearsay, but I took a fare there and picked him up later along with a guy and two other girls. They all told the same story, and there were members of the Utah Legislature in attendance for a time (all of whom were Republicans and LDS).

The statute of limitations has expired on those things, so I feel safe making this disclosure...

Grandpa Fuzz is right; most of the right wing sorts aren't smart enough to engage in wholesale conspiracies. But they are stupid and crazed enough to follow in lockstep whatever loudmouthed wingnut appeals to their passions at the time.

Let me see if I got this right. Our resident left wing nut case bigot cabdriver who lives to disparage all things Mormon is cringing over relating the story from some like minded fellow stumble bum of state legislators who were also of the LDS church in attendance at a strip club. And just how does this crap have any possibly relevance to this blog and the subject of Romneys business and government executive service accomplishments. Other than the sick mental musings of an embitteredaddicted disordered failure in life exposing himself here?

Be nice if, in his haste to appear eloquent, our resident wannabe troll asked himself the same question about the subject of how "Clinton who had that little thinggoing on with the Chinese financiar of Democratic causes" is relevant to this discusion. I mean he did bring it up...

Ain't gonna happen, of course, even though he mentioned it first. And the relevance is that Mitt Romney was in charge of the 2002 Olympics here in Utah.

And I was sober during the Clinton Administration; I just didn't get my computer until near the end...

And did you see where he was quoting Thoreau on another thread? Shoot, if Thoreau were alive right now, he'd be using the same invectives to describe Henry's lifestyle...

Watch those anger management issues, Fuzzie. As I pointed out, narcissists are noted for becoming enraged at those who try to hold them accountable for their boorish tirades.

Worse, when you get hold of all that fear that's fueling your bile, you're going to experience even worse flight-or-fight stuff. And I'm gonna stand my ground... Now go ahead and fight it. Tell yourself you haven't spent all your life as a secret wimp and live in dire dread that somebody is going to find out.

And I note as far as Romney's business acumen, his philosophy was "It was necessary to destroy those businesses in order to save them."

I better recycle this one; Jeannie seems to have missed it... From deep in the heart of Texas...

The real horror of Mitt's approaches--and those of other "corporate raiders"--is they helped create the environment where Chinese companies could compete within the void the "slash, burn, and sell crowd" created...

Fri, Apr 20 7:57 pm:

Y0u brought up the Chinese raid of US business (supposedly under the Regan Administration...which the Regan Economic Revolution sort of belies, no? 20,000,000 jobs added to our economy!)

Are you on the right tread?

Tom from Philly, you ignorant LIBERALS would never do what Mitt Romney did!! He gave away his inheritance!! I know selfish evil liberals would not do that because I have two ignorant liberal sisters who are as greedy & selfish as people could possibly get!! Then there is the very rich very selfish Al Gore who when he was Vice President gave 0.3% of his income to charity!! How in the world did he manage without that money!! Ha! Ha!

Even Joe Biden gave 2%, Jeanne.

Jeanie,

I'd like to know what you are smoking and drinking.

Tom from Philly:

I dont believe Steve Jobs was even a gleam in his father's eye when Romney's grandfather immigrated from Mexico to the US. Get your facts straight.

And if somebody did make money out of a wise stock purchase, profiding an entrepeneur capital to expand and operated their business, what skin is it off your skinny Philly back? Thats what make this courty work, ya know?

Not robbing from Todd to pay Tom, as the great redistributor of wealth in the White House presently wants to do. Sorry if your cut of the milloionaires and billionaires money you were so counting on to deal with your own over you head in debt from reckless use of credit isn't coming your way and day soon, and surely never will as long as right thinking citizen have the right to vote.

No matter how many Black Panther thugs swinging pick ax handles at the polls in Philly this November are found out there in you "City of Brotherly Love!" (NOT!)

Tom,

Don't expect Grandpa to use his imagination to perform the analysis you did. He can't do it. I'd explain what you said to him, but I'd have to turn the meter on, and it would be real work.

But he can certainly visualize how George Zimmerman was a wholesome upright citizen and Trayvon Martin was an irreparable juvenile delinquent who deserved to die.

I never said he Martin to die, stop yor incessant lying about my postings or pay the consequences! I have simply been relating the known facts of the case to refute the runaway racebaiting misconceptions and distortions put up here daily by the haters. And why are you insisting on bringing this extraneous topic to this blog? Can't you find the right thread?

Your incrediably adolescent behavior of trying to prevail in a discussion by disparaging someone with views different than what you hold is stupid beyond words and insults not only me but the intelligence of others interested in discussing the topic of economics and governance at hand. I suggest you go play hero with your crowd, the drunks you believe you are rescuing, rescurer.

Mirror, mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Look who's throwing the biggest tantrum of all...

Words from our resident "anger management" expert...

That wasn't anger, that was pathos!

Your self-analysis of your wold view is it's pathological?

You'll get no argument from me...

Try the Greek defination for pathos, fool. No more of your semi-learned jingoistic jargon learned from your own trips thru rehab. The old saw that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" surely applies to you, cabdriver.

I believe that Rmoney thought that he was being funny by saying that. Yes, I agree with you, he throws around lies and fake smiles at that picnic table.

For me, the worst part was Mitt Rmoney being incapable to offer a single solution to the concerns of those teachers, even if that solution was one of his usual lies. All he kept repeating was "uhu-uhu". This guy is simply worthless to the 99% of us. Can you imagine that he and his wife, Queen Ann, feel that the presidency of the US is entitled to them: "It's Mitt's turn, it's our turn", said Queen Ann in that interview with ABC. I can't wait to boot this couple of aristocratic clowns to the retirement palace they are building along the coast of California.

They're not the "people we were waiting for", to borrow a catch phrase from the "Can't Do" guy running for re-election? What a joke he turned out to be, hmmm?

He couldn't even close Guantanamo after he went around the world after his election apologizing for America and promising to do so as the first action he would take once assuming office!

michele stated we shouldnt eat cookies. now who is the cookie monster?

Keep watching Faux noise and barking, ignorant fool! Lawrence O'Donnell is simply exposing all the lies that Mitt Rmoney has been saying. There is noway he can successfully lie his way to the White House.

The only barking is coming from the bloodhounds set forth by NBC-MSNBC to go after in any way they can the presumed opponent of their chosen Political Savior, as they pursue his re-election with all the fervor and religiosity that these admitted secularists can bring to the battle.

BTW, being avowedly secularist, they have no moral issue about lying, or distorting the facts and the truth. For example, they persist in painting Romney as a "born with a silver spoon" rich guy that earned his money from parlaying inheritance into a fortune "by raiding businesses and sinking them in bankruptcy while he made off with the gains".

Fact, he pursued an education in Business Management helped by his wealthy parents. went on to a 25 year career as an industrialist and commericial corporation refinancier who restructered numerous business, some of which failed, yes, and most of which succeeded very well, expanding and growing into vibrant enterprises in our economy.

He also served as a very successful Governor of a large Northeastern state and was excellant with a policy at compromizing with a legislature controlled by members of the other party during his four years in office, turning a growing deficit into surplus while balancing the budget for four straight years. He also pursued practices of tax policy and revenue bonding and regulation reform that set the foundation for the influx of industry and commercial enterprises back into what had become known as "Taxachusetts" under his Big State Government Democratic predecessors and a runaway spending legislature ripe with patronage scandals. (Remember the Big Dig?). And put through a successful Health Insurance reform program at the level where the Constitution of the United States states hit should be the perogative of, The Separate States, and not the Federal Government!

Sort of like rescuing by managerial accumen the failing and scandal plagued Winter Olympics, hmmm?

Romney's the man for the job in the 4 years ahead of us, that other guy tried, and failed with his policies of borrow and spend our way out of recession, only making things worse as a rightly concerned industrial and commercial base are waiting with their profits in the bank for the third shoe to drop if that clown gets to persist with his economic, financial, and energy policy malfeasance. Obama: borrow, spend, and now tax so he can spend some more and pay the Credit weakened higher interest rates on what he borrowed and wants to continue to borrow. And 5,000,000 people laid off since he took office, and 90+% of them women.

Not much of a choice now, is it?

After reading several pages of your comments, I've come to the conclussion that it's impossible for you to have a possitive outlook on anything.

I'm positive Romney will be elected, reverse the spend and borrow policies of the Dems, and put the economy and our national finances on a path to growth and fiscal sanity. Is that concise and positive enough for you larry?

Romney will not be elected. Period!

Lets see, we have all the very serious issues to discuss and you want to dwell about a discouraging word on "cookies". Just how smart are you? Sounds like the "dog eat dog" world view to me, Tex.

Talking about dogs ....

Anyone who puts their beloved dog on the roof of their car for a nine hour drive - needs to not only have their head examined, but their heart as well. The thought that this poor dog, lovable Seamus, lost control of his bowels while on this trip, and still was not brought inside the car - shows how little empathy and common sense Mitt Romey has. I am disgusted and infuriated every time I think of this story. The upside is that it shows us who Mitt Romney really is - and why we should never support him.

I'll leave my vote in the hands of Seamus, or at least the ghost of Seamus!!! .... in this case, it merits a resounding NO! NEVER, NOT EVER!!!

I would not vote Michel Vick for president, nor will I vote Romney! - Vick went to jail for animal cruelty .... where will we be sending Romney!

Of course, the dog in question had helped himself to the Turkey left on the kitchen counter, and hence his loose bowels. And aparently the dog really usually enjoyed his excursions in like manner before and after that event.

OMG, that's like saying the Israelite's were happy to be slaves, especially when they got Saturday off - they were really happy!

So its the dog's fault .....

dang ..... GOP's sure know how to stick it to the victim.

Of course Romney is going to say the dog loved it - he's so out of touch its amazing

you too Keith!

I believe Romney was referring to his four year record of fiscal conservatism where he cut taxes, reduced runaway spending by the Democratic controlled legislature, and sought to make of Taxachusetts a lower tax state that would attract back the industriies and commercial enterprises that had fled it previously, which he did and which his successor has enjoyed the benefit from, along with the surplus Romney left him.

Bytheway, Marginalized Marine, I lived in Massachusetts and worked for the Dept of Veterans Affairs in the years prior to the George Bush election of 2000 when the unemployment rate under the Democrats was 16% in the Greater New Bedford and Greater Fall River Communities, where I began and built the Veterans Industries and Veterans Construction Team approaches to vocational rehabilitation out of Brockton, VAMC for veterans of the Vietnam era, and those who had suffered through the disruptions of the First Iraq War, the Somalia excursion, and the Baltic excursions under both Republican and Democrat Presidents. So I know a bit of Massachusetts political and economic background facts and figures.
