*Please... Cut the Crap

Romney Op-Ed Doubles Down on His 47% Silliness

It's fascinating to watch Willard Romney self-destruct, although don't feel too gleeful; the one thing that could make him squeak through is overconfidence on our part. Besides, making sure President Obama wins isn't enough, anyway. It's not good enough to just get more votes than Republicans; it's time we obliterated them, politically speaking. It's time we stopped obsessing on individual Republicans, and start highlighting their positions on the issues, which are offensive, and hurt the country 

If you haven't seen the videos, you should. You can probably skip the last 15 minutes, so it'll only cost you about 20 minutes of your life. And it'll be worth it. Watch them here.  What you will see is a man who represents exactly what the current incarnation of the Republican Party truly believes to be true. Many will pretend not to believe that, but when Romney suggests that anyone who would vote for a Democrat is somehow dependent on government, he's not violating Republican orthodoxy, he's expressing it in its rawest form. The current incarnation of the GOP truly thinks that everyone who receives a government check for anything is completely dependent. Well, except for defense contractors.  Oh, and oil companies.

If you doubted Republicans felt that way before, the video should make that clear now. And if the video doesn't convince you, then check out the new op-ed piece Willard penned for today's USA Today.  The headline actually reads:

Romney: I'll deliver recovery, not dependency

Forget Willard and the GOP; Consider a New Bill of Rights for ALL Americans

The current incarnation of the Republican Party simply doesn't care about anything but money, and the people at the top who have most of it. They no longer care about you or me, or anyone who isn't among the elites in this country.

What Willard Romney said in May in front of his rich investors (and let's face it; no one donates $10 million to anyone without expecting a return) shouldn't actually surprise anyone; this is how the current version of a Republican thinks; that people with lots of money are the brains behind the country, and all the rest of us are just a bother. Ironically, the biggest freeloaders in this country are among the richest companies and people in the world, and the states getting the most actual welfare are red states. Also, consider the fact that the guy who handed you your fries paid more in payroll taxes than Wlllard Romney paid in income taxes that one year he's let us see so far, but he thinks that rate is too high and should be cut in half.
