Mitt Tries Again

Posted on Apr 12, 2011

Announcing his second attempt at moving into the White House, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said America doesn’t have enough jobs because President Obama has never worked in the “real economy,” which, in Mitt’s case, means a venture capital company that laid off workers.

Oh yeah, and America is still “the greatest nation in the history of the Earth.” Take that, Sheba!  —PZS

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

The real question concerning Mitt is: Would you buy hair gel from this man?

Here’s a clip memorializing the 5th annivesary of Mitt’s signing into law the MA health care plan that he apparently engineered….this is great stuff:

And for the record: I grew up in UT amongst the Mormons who are, for the most part, a bunch of narcissistic, government-hating, two-faced liars…which makes Mitt one of many….......he just has a lot of money…

Did our country go so downhill that it now requires a mannequin to lead it?

How peculiar and ridiculous it would look if upon observing a colony of mice, one individual mouse arrogated himself to the rest of the colony that he was indeed the chosen leader and knew all that was best for the masses of mice.

Michel de Montaigne (I think)

Or perhaps in Mitt’s case, he received a divine vision from his ‘exploratory committee’ to put upon himself the great burden of leading mice..I mean Americons.

Saw an interwiew yesterday asking him if he was running.  He said he was setting up and ‘exploratory committee’ to decide.  Maybe Palin, Bachmen and the rest are also sitting among their ‘exploratory committees’ as well.

Does he have to ask his ‘exploratory committee’ to decide whether or not to go to his Cape Cod or Marblehead villas for the summers?

It’s hard to believe that anyone talks like this in real life.
BTW, Las Vegas has an interesting addition to it’s morning line. It’s pegged at 8 to 5 that we’ll see the end of the Iraq and Afghani wars before we see the end of Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate.

This man is way too far to the Left for Republicans.
