Using policy to buy the support of moneybags is just fine since the moneybags are his kind of people & the repositories of all that is good, true & productive; using policy to buy the support of non-moneybags is nasty since they're not his kind of people & are moral and economic bankrupts.

None of those positions equate to winning the White House.<br /><br />He lost, he lost, he lost, all the money in the world didn't matter, he didn't get what he wanted and therefore was entitled to, and now it's wah, wah, wah, everybody else's fault, especially those <i>lesser</i> people thinking they were as good as him and thinking they actually had a say in the election! After all, hadn't Queen Ann herself told us that we had all we were going to get from them (and so we should essentially just shut up and stop interfering in her and Mitt's plans)?<br /><br />Now drum your heels on the floor, Mitty, and maybe someone will call you a whambulance of your very own.Neferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983053827261292393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-83825975120217760902012-11-15T07:24:37.423-05:002012-11-15T07:24:37.423-05:00This is the real Romney.

He doesn't need a book deal or a TV gig or a position on a corporate board. <br /><br />He is not pretending right now. He really is a contemptuous and contemptible snob.H.K.

Ultimately the campaign succeeded in mainstreaming, in removing the "cult" status, the Mormon church, making it as "acceptable" as being Methodist, or Episcopalian. I think that was the whole point and we won't be seeing anymore of this bozo in the secular sector. It will, however, be interesting to watch his trajectory within the church hierarchy. <br /><br />He wasn't running for President, he was running for Pope (pope, prophet, wtf-ever, they all bow down to the same damned dog).Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-17297087377736157312012-11-14T19:46:46.046-05:002012-11-14T19:46:46.046-05:00"With regards to the young people, for instan..."With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," he said. "Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008."<br /><br />So?
