Poor-Man Romney Says Government Employees Making More Than He Is

With all you government workers making hundreds of millions of dollars a year, you will expect the economy to be a lot better than it is now. You will also expect everyone to drop their present jobs and flock to the government for jobs.  After all, why would anyone settle for anything less than $35 million a year!

According to Mitt Romney, who made up to $37.5 million in 2010,  government employees are making “a lot more money” than he is. Speaking at a fabrication plant on Monday, Romney targeted government employees, saying that if he becomes president, he will reduce the work force by 10%.

Wearing his best plaid work shirt and Tommy Bahama blue jeans, the candidate explained to workers at Giese Manufacturing that he would slash the number of federal employees if elected.

“We have to cut back on the scale of the federal government,” Romney declared. “And for me that will start by reducing federal employees by 10 percent. You do that through attrition.”

“And then something else that is just as important, and that’s to make sure the people who work for government don’t get better pay and better benefits than people that work in the private sector.”

He added: “The tax payers shouldn’t have to have money taken out of their pay checks to pay people in government who are our servants who are making a lot more money than we are.”

It’s a good thing we have the poor-man Romney looking out for us, having his finger on the pulse of exactly who is bringing down the economy – at last check, Romney was worth over $250 million. But that was about two hours ago. We’re sure a few more millions were added since then.

Conservative Group Forms Website Called “Not Mitt Romney”

Next up for the Conservatives and Republicans? Putting an end to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, or trying to put an end to it. A group of hard right conservatives, including Ali A. Akbar – Republican consultant at the Vice and Victory Agency, John Hawkins, founder of Right Wing News and Matt MacKowiak,  consultant and president of Potomac Strategy Group LLC., have come together to create a website for Conservatives called, NotMittRomney.com

The group’s main concern with Mitt Romney is that he is too flaky, blows too easily in the wind from one position to another, usually in regards to the same topic. Some of the points they list in are;

Romney was pro-abortion until a decade ago. He is now pro-life.

Romney was pro-amnesty in 2006, saying about the McCain-Kennedy bill, “Those [immigrants] that are here paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process towards application for citizenship.” He now opposes amnesty and attacks other candidates on their immigration records.

Romney broke with a tradition followed by his three immediate Republican predecessors and refused to sign the Americans For Tax Reform’s “no tax” pledge, which his spokesman then called “government by gimmickry” in 2002 when running for governor of Massachusetts. As governor, he raised taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the New York Times. In 2007, once he decided to run for president, he signed the pledge.

Romney was not a registered Republican until December 1993. He has admitted voting in the Democratic primary in Massachusetts in 1992 for Paul Tsongas for president, rather than voting for Vice President George H.W. Bush. In 2005, Romney claimed that Ronald Reagan is a personal hero.

Romney opposed the Brady Bill in 1994. But in August 2006, when seeking the Republican nomination for president, he signed up for a lifetime membership in the NRA, because, as he said to an audience in Derry, N.H.: “I’m after the NRA’s endorsement.”

On Jan. 10, 2007, Romney said, “I have a gun of my own; I go hunting myself” on the Glenn and Helen Show. Four days later, Romney admitted at a gun show that he does not personally own any guns.

And the list goes on.

Breaking News: Romney Is A Flip Flopper. That’s All – Ad

In our efforts to be fair and balanced, (well if Fox News could say it, why can’t we?) we bring you this ad by Republican candidate, Jon Huntsman. The fact that the ad criticizes Mitt Romney’s flip-flopping abilities, something we’ve tried to point out in previous blogs, is purely coincidental.

The ad.

Thought Herman Cain’s Ads Couldn’t Get Any Crazier…

Think again!

I’m really beginning to understand the Republican’s game plan, and a fantastic one it is. Their plan is to get Mitt Romney to the nomination, and the only way they think that could be achieved, would be to bombard the media with nonsense. Herman Cain, and his entire so-called candidacy is the guinea pig. Get the media to focus all their attention on the joke that is Herman Cain, and let Mitt Romney skate untouched to the Republican nomination convention.

How else would you explain these foolish ads from the Cain campaign. Yesterday, we showed you an ad that is now viral, as the world laughs at the spectacle of what is now the American political system. In the ad, Herman Cain’s chief of staff Mark Block literally and figuratively blows smoke in our face. We can only wonder if Marlboro paid for the spot.

And now this. Another ad by the so-called Cain campaign called, “He Carried Yellow Flowers,” a western style commercial featuring movie star Nick Searcy. The ad starts out showing a man riding a horse, with the following words being displayed on the screen;

There was a time in America when a man was a man. And a horse was just a horse …  And a man on a horse was just a man on a horse … unless he carried yellow flowers.”

After smacking a black man identified as a liberal in the face, the flower carrying Nick Searcy steps out of character – or steps into character, take your pick – to advise all of us, why we should vote for Herman Cain.

We see you Romney, keep skating…

Conservatives To Mitt Romney – Stop The Flip Flopping And Take A Stand

There’s a big fight going on in Ohio, and as far as Conservative Republicans are concerned, Mitt Romney is on the wrong side of the issues. That is, todayhe is anyway — because  it seems

Romney is trying to represent both sides of the issue at the same time.

Two very important initiatives are on the ballot for the upcomming election. Issue 2, will allow the people of Ohio to roll back the union busting provisions passed earlier this year by Republican governor John Kasich. If issue 2 passes, the people of Ohio would have essentially repeal Kasich’s decision on limiting collective bargaining in his state. Issue 3, also on the ballot, would allow Ohio to withdraw from any Health Care mandate.

So why are Conservatives even more upset with Mitt Romney today than they were yesterday? Because he went to Ohio and gave a non-answer when asked about his position on the ballot initiatives. His non-answer would allow him to flip flop later on if necessary, and Conservatives were not happy. They expected Romney to say that Jon Kasich’s decision to limit collective bargaining was correct. Instead, all they got was;

“I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues. Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party’s efforts here.”

Conservatives became confused. This to them, was not a strong stance against the Issue 2 and they collectively denounced Romney, causing his campaigners to later try and patch things up. His campaign spokes person issued the following statement; “Gov. Romney believes that the citizens of states should be able to make decisions about important matters of policy that affect their states on their own.”

That statement was still not good enough to those who wanted Romney to take a position for or against the ballot initiatives. A top conservative group called The Club For Growth made this observation;

“The big problem many conservatives have with Mitt Romney is that he’s taken both sides of nearly every issue important to us. He’s against a flat tax, now he’s for it. He says he’s against ObamaCare, but was for the individual mandate and susbidies that are central to ObamaCare. He thinks that collective bargaining issues should be left for states to decide if he’s Ohio, but he took the opposite position when he was in New Hampshire. This is just another statement in a long line of statements that will raise more doubts about what kind of President Mitt Romney would be in the minds of many Republican primary voters.”

Romney’s true colors are shining through, but what’s upsetting to his conservative base is that they  those colors are subject to change day to day.

Mitt Romney Weaves A Tangled Web Of Lies And Deceit

Oh Mitt! Why are you so filled with deceit? You criticized Rick Perry in a previous debate for providing “magnets” of “extraordinary government benefits” to undocumented immigrants in this country, but as it turns out, you too Mitty Romney are guilty of doing the very same thing you accused Perry of.

Perry provides the undocumented with education benefits, and you Mr. Romney, provides them with health care.

The Massachusetts healthcare law that then-Gov. Mitt Romney signed in 2006 includes a program known as the Health Safety Net, which allows undocumented immigrants to get needed medical care along with others who lack insurance.

Uninsured, poor immigrants can walk into a health clinic or hospital in the state and get publicly subsidized care at virtually no cost to them, regardless of their immigration status.

The program, widely supported in Massachusetts, drew little attention when Romney signed the trailblazing healthcare law.

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

Mitt Romney Wants To Sell Your Home To Investors

The Democratic National Committee put out a new ad on Friday, featuring Mitt Romney. I doubt Romney was a willing participant in this video, as some of the things said in the ad were a bit unsettling.

The ad below shows a clip of Mitt Romney expressing his preferred method of handling foreclosures, and the words he spoke would put fear into the hearts of any family who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of losing their home. “Don’t try and stop the foreclosure process,” Romney said. “Let it run its course and hit the bottom, allowing investors to buy their homes, put renters in them, fix the homes, and let it turn around and come back up. The right course is to let markets work. And in order to get markets to work and to help people, the best we can do is to get the economy going.”

In a conference call with reporters, Brad Woodhouse, the communications director for the DNC said;

“To Mitt Romney, houses aren’t places where people raise their families and build lives. They’re investments to make a profit. Mitt Romney is out of touch. He’s out of touch with what’s going on with this country, he’s out of touch with the middle class.”

Out of touch with the middle class correctly describes the millionaire Mitt Romney. He has never had to deal with the misfortune of losing his home, or should I say homes, or should I say mansions. So it is totally natural for him to think of investors over families. Imagine that decision-making in the White House, as Mitt Romney attempts to become the Republican nominee to take on President Obama in 2012.

Watch the ad below.

Mitt Romney Is A Gangster – Manhandles Rick Perry

There’s no doubt about it. How else would you explain his actions last night, when in the middle of a heated discussion with Rick Perry – where punches were almost thrown – Romney initiated contact with his rival by putting his hand on Perry’s shoulder? That’s a no-no. People have died doing stuff like that. In the middle of an argument, you just don’t touch your opponent.

I know people in Brooklyn who got a good beating just for looking at a rival during an argument.

The issue? Undocumented  immigrants, or as the Republicans like to call them – illegal aliens. Rick Perry and his sinking poll numbers, needed to bring everything he had to the debate. He needed to knock Romney off his pedestal. So what did Perry do? He brought up a story that Rudy Giuliani tried in the last presidential debate. A story about Romney hiring “illegals” to work on his lawn.

Yes, it was a weak attack. When Rudy Giuliani brought it up in the last presidential election, the accusation had more of an effect. People wanted to know what was happening with Romney, the landscaping company he hired and the undocumented workers they sent to cut his lawn. And many people believed Giuliani’s attack caused irreparable damage to Romney, thus contributing to his failed campaign.

But that was 2008 and Romney was ready this time around. As the words began falling from Perry’s mouth, Romney began replying and a shouting match ensued.

“I’m speaking, I’m speaking!” Romney said, as the two yelled back and forth. At this point, Romney did the unthinkable and made contact. “Are you just going to keep talking?” Romney asked Perry, standing  just a couple of feet to his left. “Are you just going to keep talking?”

“Have at it!” Perry replied, obviously upset that Romney had the nerve to touch him.

Romney then dug into Perry again, calling him “testy” because of  his dismal past debates, to which the audience began applauding, signaling their approval of the way Romney manhandled Perry. In my imagination, I could see Romney gesture off stage, then cousin Vinnie appeared heading towards Rick Perry with one goal – to take him out, and I’m not talking a dinner date. But that didn’t happen, at least not in last night’s debate. I cannot guarantee the thought did not cross Romney’s mind though.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Gangster was in the house last night, and he is leading the way for the Republican nomination!

Imagine that!

The Picture Mitt Romney Doesn’t Want You To See

This cannot be the image the Romney campaign wants the voters to see, so that’s why we’re showing it.

LOL.

Here we find the multi-million dollar Republican presidential candidate, from his time at Bain Capital. Romney is doing what Romney does best, no, not flip-flopping, but basking in the royal favor of his Wall Street buddies. And what could be better than having them stuff your pockets with cold hard cash!

No wonder Wall Street is giddy with excitement over the idea of a Romney presidency

Bill Donohue To Rick Perry – Drop Jeffrees Before The End Of The Week

“Where did they find this guy? When theological differences are demonized by the faithful of any religion – never mind by a clergyman – it makes a mockery of their own religion. [The] Rev. Jeffress is a poster boy for hatred, not Christianity.”

That was  Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League. Donohue was discussing the recent remarks made by Robert Jeffress at last week’s conservative Voters Values Summit, where Jeffress endorsed Rick Perry and buried Romney’s faith, referring to it as “non-christian” and earlier as a “cult!”

Speaking with The Christian Post, Donohue said that he disagreed with Jeffrees comments. “That’s simply an ignorant statement,” Donohue said, “Mormons have been around for a long time, so I wouldn’t consider them a cult any longer.”

When asked who he would vote for if Romney is the Republican nominee, Donohue said he would vote for the person most qualified to lead the nation. He then said he cannot vote for President Obama because of his “abortions-on-demand” stance. He then acknowledge that Romney had the same “abortions-on-demand” beliefs, but confessed that Romney would actually get his vote.

“Romney’s positions on abortions are disturbing to me too, Donohue said, “He supported abortion-on-demand when he was governor of Massachusetts but has now said he changed his position. It is concerning that his mother is a supporter of abortion-on-demand and he has made statements that he would do what his mother tells him to, but I would rather have someone who is willing to change his views on abortion than someone who won’t.”

Asked if Perry could run a successful campaign with the Jeffrees’ endorsement and controversy hanging over his head, Donohue said Perry would have to distance himself from Jeffrees first, and the sooner the better… like, by the end of this week!

Today is better than tomorrow, but if he doesn’t do something by the end of the week – and we are almost there – then I think his campaign will be in serious trouble.

Well it’s Friday, and Perry is still holding on to Jeffrees’ endorsement. We’ll see what happens by days end.

Mitt Romney Flip Flops On Occupy Wall Street

Yesterday, we pointed out a the hypocrisy that is Eric Cantor. Today, we could call it hypocrisy, but Mitt Romney has invented a special art when it comes to flip-flopping, so we’ll call it Romney’s flip-flop, but it amounts to the same thing… Republican hypocrisy.

The video below speaks for itself, as Ed Shultz of MSNBC pointed out that in a matter of six hours, Romney completely changed his position on the protesters at Occupy Wall Street.

The video.
