Romneybot is a liar. Why would I believe anything he says?

But the idea that he was just being Slick Willy and trying to make Baby Romney feel better makes a little sense.

Just look at the Blue/Red electoral results map, and tell me that anything was settled in the year 1865.

Thank you!

Go to hell, Mitt Romney. Go to hell and rot in hell. Giving people preferential treatment so they'll support you? Are you talking about Obama and 99% of the electorate, or you and your wealthy donors? He effectively gave families $10,000 in the form of Obamacare? Oh, my god! Throw him out of the White House! What the hell is his job if not making life better for said families? We're supposed to feel outraged because people can afford healthcare now? "Government handout! Government handout!" The only government handout is the millions of dollars your wealthy, lazy ass gets for robbing this country and its people of its wealth. If it was up to me, we'd be chopping your head in the town square. You're lucky you're just losing an election.

Mitt probably thinks "dental care" means whitening and porcelain veneers.

(@19 - Thanks for the link to the transcript. I couldn't get the damn video to load.)

And it's not even free. It's paid for by our health care premiums. I, for one, have barely use my health care benefits as I'm a healthy young adult. Getting "free" birth control means that I'll start seeing more immediate benefits from my health care plan. Then there's the fact that "free" birth control pays for itself in lower health care costs for everyone.

Here's hoping that the GOP and its 2010 evolved Tea Party go extinct, and soon.

That-that-that ... man had to throw in a reference to "free contraceptives" as one of the gifts. Well, that and OMG how-dare-poor-people-want-to-be-healthy in HIS America!?!

Plus the Dems being more aggressive in getting out the vote, beating many of his party's repugnant attempts to disenfranchise people wherever possible.

"Wah-wah-wah," baby Mitty wails, pounding his wee fists on the floor. "It's just NOT fair to MEEE."

For one of the very few times in my life, I can say that democracy actually did what it was designed to do: give the power to the governed, and not to the entitled.

Bill Clinton has always been a very personable shmoozer. He was just making nice to Mitt.

Bill Clinton has always been an asshole.
Posted by Bub]]> Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:46:23 -0800 The Stranger I agree with you entirely, even though it would hurt me financially. Some of us didn't vote for the "gifts" we'd get but for a better country and better treatment of all its citizens.

I just want to mention that some dividends are taxed as regular income. Bush's tax cuts led to some dividends qualifying for the outrageously low capital gains tax. I have no idea what the distinction is; all I know is that it makes my taxes even more convoluted.

And, I personally disagree about reinstituting the capital gains rate. Capital gains should be taxed as regular income, period. Small-time investors can pay 10-20 percent of their capital gains in taxes. Mittens can pay 37 percent; he can afford it.
