Oh, I've got you beat by a mile, and with none of this "there are
numerous [invisible] others" either.
“We're going to have to talk about that, and housing foreclosures and
bankruptcies and higher taxation. We're going to hang him [Obama], uh,
so to speak, metaphorically, with, uh, with, uh – you have to be
careful these days, I've learned that – with an Obama Misery Index."
- Yeah, no racist lynch-the-nigger coded language there at all.
On Pakistan: “We don't want to just pull up stakes and get out of town
after the enormous output we've just made for the region. Look at
Indonesia in the '60s. We helped them move toward modernity. We need
to help bring Pakistan into the 21st century, or the 20th, for that
matter.” - By Indonesia he was talking about the bloody, CIA-backed
coup of General Suharto of Indonesia which ushered in one of that
country’s most brutal eras. And, of course, bringing Pakistan into
“the 21st century, or the 20th, for that matter” is another noble
objective.
"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King." - Romney's campaign
later admitted that they didn't march on the same day, or in the same
city.
"You sit down with your attorneys that tell you what you have to do,
but obviously the president of the United States has to do what's in
the best interest of the United States against a potential threat." -
On whether he would consult Congress about invading Iran – gotta talk
to the attorneys first. Woah, that’s scary.
"I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty
much all my life." - Romney's campaign later said he hunted only
twice, once at 15, and once in 2006 at a Republican fundraiser – “all
my life”.
"PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." - On strapping his
dog to the top of the car.
"My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers
and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I
respect their decision in that regard. One of the ways my sons are
showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they
think I'd be a great president." – Yeah, who needs to fight for one’s
country when all you have to do is help get your dad in as president
so you can party at the White House. Ahh, the luxury of the filthy
rich.
“I should tell my story. I’m also unemployed.” — Romney’s campaign sob
story to a group of unemployed Floridians talking about their
difficulties in finding a job. His net worth is estimated to be over
$200 million, so what’s he got to be worried about on the same level
as the unemployed group he was speaking to?
“I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake – I can’t have illegals.” -
Oct. 2011 Republican debate, suggesting that he’d hire them if he
weren’t running for office. And he actually did when he wasn’t!
"Hugo Chavez has tried to steal an inspiring phrase, 'Patria o muerte,
venceremos.' It does not belong to him. It belongs to a free Cuba." –
Translated to "Fatherland or death, we shall overcome," Castro has
used it to close his speeches for years, and which is associated with
Cuban oppression.
"Well, the question is kind of a non sequitur, if you will. And what I
mean by that -- or a null set." - After being asked during a
Republican debate whether it was a mistake to invade Iraq.
"Only talk about income inequality in quiet rooms." – Why?
"We should double Guantanamo!" – But, but, but….
"I'm happy to learn that after I speak you're going to hear from Ann
Coulter. That's a good thing. I think it's important to get the views
of moderates." - Right before Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot".
Hate to imagine what an extremist would be.
"It's not the language I would have used" - On Rush Limbaugh's
comments about Sandra Fluke. Well, what language would he have used?
"I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners" - How many Nascar
fans have friends who are team owners? Think he has relatability
issues?
"Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that" – Yep, he stands
by women through thick and thin alright.
"Ann Drives a couple of Cadillacs" – Uhh, yeah.
"The answer is self-deportation, which is people decide they can do
better by going home" - Mitt Romney living in a fantasy world.
"Corporations are People."
“It's very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments... I'm not
willing to light my hair on fire to try and get support."
"There’s a senator [Kerry] from my state, you may have heard, that
wants to get elected president. And I don’t know why he wants to do
that because, of course, if he won, he’d have to move into a smaller
house." – Try to figure out what’s stupid about that one.
“Rick, I’ll tell you what: 10,000 bucks? $10,000 bet?” - It takes
half of Americans 5 months to earn $10,000.
“I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.” What
sadist enjoys firing people who provide services to him?
“I get speaker’s fees from time to time, but not very much.” -
Romney’s fees are $374,000 … not very much.
“Somebody who’s fallen from the middle class to poverty, in my
opinion, is still middle class.” - It’s heartening to know that the
middle class are living in poverty. Hell, they shouldn’t even need a
safety net if they’re all middle class - and all poor.
“We have a president, who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much
time at Harvard, perhaps.” – Complaining about Obama being out of
touch and over-educated. Incidentally, Romney also spent “too much
time” at Harvard in addition to Stanford, not to mention pretty out of
touch himself.
The "humorous" closing of plants story: "One of [the] most humorous I
think relates to my father. You may remember my father, George Romney,
was president of an automobile company called American Motors. ...
They had a factory in Michigan, and they had a factory in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, and another one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And as the
president of the company he decided to close the factory in Michigan
and move all the production to Wisconsin. Now later he decided to run
for governor of Michigan and so you can imagine that having closed the
factory and moved all the production to Wisconsin was a very sensitive
issue to him, for his campaign." - A good laugh had by all the
unemployed. Well… not.
But you keep whining about it. Waah, waah, waaaaahhhh.
