You know who Mitt Reminds me of?

Sarah Palin. I know. It felt a little weird to me when I made the connection, but he has the same approach towards Obama critique: It doesn’t even have to make sense, just “Always Be Complaining.” I suppose it appeals to a certain type of belly-acher. Take this recent load of thin gruel on white toast Romney sicked up for a sympathetic audience:

That is so weird. First of all, as the blogs all over the intertubes have pointed out, this comment over Noam Scheiber’s book isn’t true—as Scheiber himself says.But let’s take a second look at who is saying that Obama was willing to slow down the recovery in order to get the ACA passed: Mitt Frigging Romney. The author of Romneycare. You know the thing with the mandate, that is basically the Obama plan?  Yeah, that guy, whose sole raison d’etre dans cette race right here? Is that the economy didn’t do as well under Obama as should have been expected.

That’s right. Obama supposedly knew passing the ACA would slow the economy, and then very cleverly did that very thing, because of course the health care plan that the Teabaggers were protesting about in town halls and all throughout like, the first two years he was even president? Would of course make everyone forget about the economy, also, too. That would be, lest we forget, the health care plan that is the same as Mitt Romney’s health care plan in Massachusetts. And the very economy whose sluggishness is the basis for Romney saying he’d be a better president.  In other words, Barack Obama planned to use Mitt Romney’s health care policy as the basis for a bill that would pass and also shuttled the economy off to the side for the mo’—almost as if he wanted Mitt Romney for his challenger in 2012 to say these exact things. As if Barack Obama was possibly Mitt Romney’s biggest fan.

Mitt Romney—you have obviously fallen for Barack Obama’s devious plot by being you. Clearly the only way you can actually win is to be someone else for the remainder of this presidential election. Luckily, this is not difficult for Mitt.  Maybe he should consider a costume. I understand he’s partial to state trooper uniforms. Too wacky.

So, let me get this straight…Obama passed the ACA knowing it would slow down the economy so it would distract from the fact that the economy was slowed down?

Um, WHAT?

And that is supposed to be the clever part. I would say Romney was reaching, but I’m not even sure what he’s going for, there. Romney: Needz better bullshyt. Obvs.

It really is quite hilarious watching Mitt Romney run against Mitt Romney.

Slightly OT but re: Romney and the state trooper’s uniform.

Romney’s dorm mates at Stanford thought it was creepy when he told them about impersonating a MI state trooper, with the uniform laid out on his bed.
The creepiest part is that he intended before he even left home to brag about the impersonation.  Why else would he have brought the uniform with him?

Wait—you think he’s like Sarah Palin because he complains?  No, he’s like Sarah Palin because he cannot open his mouth without lying.

The similarities are legion!  Fantastic teeth, deep-rooted senses of entitlement and corresponding victimization, inability to communicate like an adult (Sarah: educated adult, Mitt: socially-adjusted adult), malfunctioning moral compasses… the list goes on and on!

Excellent pickup, Vixen.  They really are the dumbass backwoods/weasel city-slicker sides of the same shameless coin.

It irritates the shit out of me how the rethugs are doing all they can to hang the shitty economy (and getting shittier even now) around Obama’s neck, when they’ve done everything they can legislatively to make sure the economy fails.  They have no problem with burning the whole place down if it means they can rule over the smoking wreckage.

Truly folks, we are well on our way into our own, personal Japan-style ‘lost decade’ of deflation, zero growth, etc.  Krugman’s pointing it out, and even a Wall Street buddy of mine is doing the same, so both ends of the econo-political spectrum see it, just not very many of them.  Yet.  Japan didn’t respond by killing their social safety net or becoming a fascist state; I’m not sure we’re going to be that lucky, and if the rethugs gain power, I know we won’t be.

“The media is so mean to me, too” will become the centerpiece of his campaign.

Mitt (and Republicans in general) like people to say they are blocking all the jobs and stimulus-type legislation to make Obama fail. That suits them better than the truth which is that those are their actual positions.

They do want the economy to fail, want to eliminate the minimum wage and then drive down the cost of labor to Asian Pacific levels. It suits them.

Check out blackwaterdog’s latest post.  This is mind boggling.  Because, yes, fewer fire fighters, cops and teachers will really help our country stay great.  Oh, and let’s let our roads, highways and airports crumble around us while we’re at it.  Third world country, here we come!! (Thx Progressives!)

I always think, whenever there’s government cut-backs of some kind, like, oh, 15% reduction in cops or 10% reduction in teachers, “Well, how are they going to account for no anticipated decrease in crime or children looking for education?  Will there be 10% less fires?” Public sector employment isn’t quite the same as private in terms of demand, but in terms of keeping people employed, their paychecks spend just as well as those of the privately-employed—and that stimulates the private economy. Romney is just being block-headed.

Good catch on the Romney/Palin similarities.  I think I hate Mitt more than Sarah- at least Sarah was a self-made grifter… plus, her gaffes were a hell of a lot funnier.

Scratch that, I think I may hate Sarah more, because of her incessant violent imagery in the runup to Gabby Gifford’s shooting.

It’s the mirthless smile and joyless cackle. I smell genuine cruelty beneath that highly polished exterior. Villagers love it.
