Mitt-rolling Willard

The greatest fireworks display this Independence Day was the one exploding over in Conservoland, with the intended audience the lethargic, bumbling Romney campaign:

Romney, in a CBS interview that aired on July 4th, maintained that the mandate the Supreme Court ruled constitutional is indeed a tax. Ferhnstrom, however, told NBC’s Chuck Todd that it was a penalty in an interview just two days earlier.

That prompted the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Bill Kristol, Laura Ingraham, and even Rupert Murdoch, who has previously pressed Romney to shake up his team, to sound the alarm.

“This latest mistake is of a piece with the campaign’s insular staff and strategy that are slowly squandering an historic opportunity,” read the WSJ editorial.

Suddenly, Willard's Boston Beaners decide to hire new consultants.

Earlier, Conservative David Frum mused, "Is Mitt Romney so weak he won't be able to stand up to Congress?"

Adventures in Wingnutia: Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Edition

While Romney is entertaining on his own, he is merely the head clown in a clown car full of idiots. Here's a remix of IL Congressman (yes, a bunch of morons voted for this guy) Joe Walsh doubling down on the stupid on CNN (set to Destiny's Child's "Say My Name").

Whacha hiding, Willard? Real Americans want to know

While Colorado was burning

Get that woman a waaambulance, STAT!

“No. 1, they’re not correct. It makes you recognize that they are gonna do everything they can to destroy Mitt,” Ann Romney recently whimpered.

  

Willard Mitt unzipped on January 30, 2012:

On The Today Show this morning, Mitt Romney responded to a New York Times piece detailing the campaign's strategy to win Florida by destroying Newt Gingrich.

"There's no question that politics ain't bean bags, and we have made sure that our message is out loud and clear."

From flip-floppin' to full gainer

Willard has missed his Olympic calling. Rather than passively participating in horse prancing from the spectator stand, he needs to consider getting on the US Gymnastics team. This mashup of Mittens' slippery slide down Healthcare Hill proves his prowess in tumbling.

As David Axelrod notes of a Mitt presidency, "If he were in WH, parsley would be official veg: Twister, national pasttime."

Aw, Mitt, you flip-floppin' devil

The Huckster in 2007:

0:42 "My plan, by the way, allows every citizen in America to get health insurance. How do I do that?
No new taxes raised. No new requirements that people get government insurance but instead private insurance. Let them get private, market-based insurance."

'It's a penalty not a tax.' 

When a lying liar keeps lying

Snagged from the Vanity Fair sizzler cited in an earlier post:

For nearly 15 years, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s financial portfolio has included an offshore company that remained invisible to voters as his political star rose.

Based in Bermuda, Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors Ltd. was not listed on any of Romney’s state or federal financial reports. The company is among several Romney holdings that have not been fully disclosed, including one that recently posted a $1.9 million earning — suggesting he could be wealthier than the nearly $250 million estimated by his campaign.

The omissions were permitted by state and federal authorities overseeing Romney’s ethics filings, and he has never been cited for failing to disclose information about his money. But Romney’s limited disclosures deprive the public of ... a clear understanding of how his assets are handled and taxed, according to experts in private equity, tax and campaign finance law.

Oh, that Mormon honesty.

Romney's bets AGAINST America

It's little surprise that a guy whose campaign can't get the country's name right would be in the business of betting against it. Yup, that guy, Romney, in addition to shipping jobs overseas managed to do the same with his millions.

The unpatriotic sycophant stashed money in foreign accounts rather than being that "job creator" of whom he speaks so fawningly. A biting Vanity Fair expose blows the lid off the Romney campaign's lies about his ability to create jobs.

As the Obama campaign noted after the scandal unfolded:

"Today's Vanity Fair article confirms what the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reported but the Romney campaign falsely denied.  Unlike the vast majority of Americans who pay their fair share of taxes, Mitt Romney is avoiding taxes by stashing millions of dollars in the Cayman Islands.  This matters in the presidential campaign because it is just these types of loopholes for the wealthy that Romney would protect, forcing more of the tax burden onto the middle class."

Righteous!
