The dope already has 66% of the elderly SS vote(just look at Andy), yet he feels a need to insult them nonetheless.

JR you should really give Matthew 19:24 a re-read. I think you may have skipped it on your speed reading of the new testament.

I'm just glad that Mittens showed his true colors. I guess Mormons really aren't
Christians.
All I know is that I'll vote for the guy who will give me lots of free stuff and keep my checks coming on time. Even though it's a dumbass anorexic, naive half nigger. Go obummy! I hate you but go
go!
Obama's narcissism and arrogance is only superseded by his naivete and stupidity.

I don't think Mitt really believes what he said. By many accounts he's a super-decent human being who gives a shit about people.

He's telling people a) what the base wants to hear and b) what the base thinks will win an election. The problem is b) is false. Most persuadable voters think it's Randian nonsense and it doesn't hold up to casual scrutiny (specifically, that the 47% Obama voters are moochers who won't take responsibility for their own lives).

The message it takes to win the GOP nomination is a losing message in the general. Every sane competent Republican except Mitt declined to run this time or bailed out early once it was clear that the base would rather rally around Trump, Bachmann, or The Hermanator than win the White House. Romney's terrible at winning elections, and he's running against an extremely tough competitor. This shit has been over for some time, barring some shocking new development.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Never were income taxes on SS, Joe.
That was my point, you goat-fucking idiot.

It's really important that this thread happen twice.

Seriously. There are two threads that started identically, and you bitchy fucking assholes are two pages deep on one of them and close to it on the other.

BTW, doesn't anyone find it more than a bit hypocritical that a man with both Swiss and Caiman Islands bank accounts is bitching about people not paying taxes?

Unfortunately...this

Dole, McCain, and now Romney had to pretend to be someone else in order to get the nomination. Hard to watch. Everyone knows it is going on, including the people whose ring they are kissing. Awkward.
