Could it get any worse for Mitt Romney? I mean, the only commanding lead he has is over the guy who thinks we should return to the Gold Standard?!? And the two guys [...]]]> Here are the results for tonight’s primaries, at least as of the time of writing this quick post . . .

Could it get any worse for Mitt Romney? I mean, the only commanding lead he has is over the guy who thinks we should return to the Gold Standard?!? And the two guys he lost to? One lost his reelection bid by a whopping 18% points, and the other was kicked out of Congress — when he was Speaker of the House — by his own party! Wow, that’s just plain wrong, Mitt — That’s just plain wrong.

And the campaign and Super PAC money you ploughed into Alabama and Mississippi? Well, dramatically outspending the two guys that beat you makes one wonder how badly you would have been beaten if you hadn’t spent so much money to lose.

The inevitability of your campaign does not appear infallible, Mitt. Not even close.

First . . .

“President Barack Obama has [...]]]> Having a new job in the Obama economy (as opposed to loosing and not having one in the Bush economy) it’s been easy to ignore all the stupid, non-sensical things Mitt Romney constantly says, but two that he said at CPAC 2011 just recently really stand out (transcript link).

First . . .

“President Barack Obama has stood watch over the greatest job loss in modern American history. And that, my friends, is one inconvenient truth that will haunt this President throughout history.”

Ok, I’m not sure what Mitt Romney is looking at, but in the last year of the Bush Presidency we lost 4+M jobs and things were getting much, much worse. Yes, we continued to lose jobs once President Obama took office, but the number of jobs lost has consistently improved ever since. I’m not sure what Mitt Romney is thinking, but his assertion is a bald-faced lie, he knows it, and he’s yet again proven himself to be the self-serving nincompoop that he is. Mitt Romney is yet again wrong for America.

Second is his very next line (and this one is really, really funny) . . .

“Today there are more men and women out of work in America than there are people working in Canada. And in the month of January, Canada created more new jobs than we did.”

So, Mitt, Canada with its universal healthcare is able to create more jobs than America?!? Guess healthcare’s a real job killer, isn’t it? Better yet, Mitt, with their Mittacusetts-styled healthcare-for-all they’re better at creating jobs than we are?!? Or is it they’re really supposed to suffocate under the cost of healthcare and be sinking down the toilet, well, because (and the numbers hide some sort of super economy just straining to break free north of the border)?!? My brain hurts trying to unwrap your illogic.

Mitt, you did actually try when you wrote this speech, didn’t you? Or do we have to ask whether you inhaled? A businessman that can ad and subtract like that . . . Whoa, look out George Bush, Mitt Romney is coming!

This during his speech to the Young America’s Foundation on or about November 13, 2009. To quote Mitt Romney . . .

“The president’s [...]]]> Mitt Wrongly accuses President Obama of dereliction in the President’s effort to try and formulate a strategy for Afghanistan that will hopefully overcome the seven years of mismanagement by the Bush Administration.

This during his speech to the Young America’s Foundation on or about November 13, 2009. To quote Mitt Romney . . .

“The president’s inattention and dereliction have reminded me of the Northwest Airline pilots who became so distracted with things of little importance that they lost their way, which is exactly what this president has done in Afghanistan. In this case with greater consequence.”
