Romney Gaffes for Guffaws

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/04/16/romney_sold_stock_to_pay_for_college.html

“They were not easy years. You have to understand, I was raised in a lovely neighborhood, as was Mitt, and at BYU, we moved into a $62-a-month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income."

“It was tiny. And I didn’t have money to carpet the floor. But you can get remnants, samples, so I glued them together, all different colors. It looked awful, but it was carpeting."

“We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time."

“The stock came from Mitt’s father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year —it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education."

"Mitt and I walked to class together, shared housekeeping, had a lot of pasta and tuna fish and learned hard lessons."

At the outset of the call, Romney said he has some connections to Wisconsin.

“One of most humorous I think relates to my father. You may remember my father, George Romney, was president of an automobile company called American Motors … They had a factory in Michigan, and they had a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and another one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,” said Romney. “And as the president of the company he decided to close the factory in Michigan and move all the production to Wisconsin. Now later he decided to run for governor of Michigan and so you can imagine that having closed the factory and moved all the production to Wisconsin was a very sensitive issue to him, for his campaign.”

Romney said he recalled a parade in which the school band marching with his father’s campaign only knew the Wisconsin fight song, not the Michigan song.

“So every time they would start playing ‘On Wisconsin, on Wisconsin,’ my dad’s political people would jump up and down and try to get them to stop, because they didn’t want people in Michigan to be reminded that my dad had moved production to Wisconsin,” said Romney, laughing.

I mean... Who can't relate? Haha... A real kneeslapper.

“I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks.” —GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, speaking to a group of fans wearing plastic ponchos at the rainsoaked Daytona 500 this weekend. Romney was later booed by the crowd.

Right? Right? I bet half the audience wasn't even wearing Allen Edmonds. Lol @ the poors!

I'll continue later. Have over two dozen to share.

Man, I wish I could seal my prediction for this thread into an envelope and hand it to jr to open in 3 days...

... wait a fucking minute.

Romney openly stated he was in a meeting with the head of MI6. The MI6 that you don't talk about?

Jesus. What is this guy, Bush 2.5? Now with more money and stupid and an entirely revamped religion?

Obama or Ronmey the banksters win regardless.

Willard could be a worse nominee than Dole, Obama should win in a landslide.

It's not "the banksters". It's the rich, and it's just a matter of degree.

What are you going to do, vote RON PAUL so the people with ACTUAL GOLD or whatever hedges they have for the gold standard win?

I think the lawsuit lawyers have done very well for themselves as well. And hasn't the pharmaceutical companies been making record profits? How about insurance companies and health management organizations, they were buying naming rights left and right for millions of dollars on just about any building with a placard.

Hey Liney, how about getting back to the topic of Romney making an ass of himself?

He hasn't even come close to you, you are still way ahead of him.

Says the guy who constantly drags these threads off topic in order to avoid more bad light being cast on Romney and the GOP.

Oh ok Coward you win, lets all vote obama and all the other democrats, we will all sing kumbaya and hope and pray for change, everyone will stop working and go on government assistance, the evil rich will pay 100% tax on everything and we will create the utopia of your dreams. Obama will usher us into the enlightened age where we will all live in harmony and everyone will be equal.
Wait didn't Obama have that chance his first 2 years with democrat house, senate and his control of the white house?

Why do you have to be such an asshole?

Wait didn't Obama have that chance his first 2 years with democrat house, senate and his control of the white house?

Whatever you do, don't bring that up. AC goes absolutely bat shit when people talk about the Ayatollah's first two years in office. You're looking at the head Moonbat who couldn't lead the other Moonbats to vodka, let alone get them to drink any of it.

Here you go, Moonbats - try the Kool-Aid!

LOL M-O-O-N BAT, THAT SPELLS LIBERAL!

Last I looked, trying to get Dems to agree on something was like trying to herd cats. Republicans vote in lockstep, except perhaps when the the big orange Boehner's been on a bender and the Teabaggers run roughshod over him. Because, you know, if you don't vote in lockstep with the ever-more-conservative Republican platform, you're branded a RINO and ostracized from the party, unlike the Dems who will actually mostly tolerate others in the party who don't always vote party platform.

Anyway, could we get back on topic with this thread, or are you and Liney going to derail everything here with your attempts to make Obama look bad?

Oh ok lets return to your controlling the discussion because only what your wishes are, are what matters.

Oh I was wondering if in person, do you talk louder and over everyone else like the moonbats on tv do when someone disagrees with them?

You must be from Bizarro-verse, because that's exactly what happens on Fox News Channel. Bill O'RLY and the rest of them talking over any of their "guests" they disagree with, ditto El Rushbo on his show, and "oh we lost that caller" and the other tricks of the trade.

So you going to admit your communistic liberal?

Your grammar is getting worse. When was the last time you saw a doctor? I think you might be having some kind of a stroke. Did you forget your blood pressure medication?

oh your so elite, can't imagine you sending text messages in today's world your head would probably explode, you obviously are smart enough to understand what I type yet take it upon yourself every time to point it out when you would rather not actually answer the question. It is ok to destroy a couple centuries of American tradition but dont you dare misspell any words, which are already bastardized daily by our youth. I can see your campaign slogan should you ever choose to run for a political office "Food stamps for Everyone that can use proper grammar".

Couple centuries of American tradition destroyed, you say? I seem to recall that the Pledge of Allegiance didn't have the whole "under God" bit stuck into it until the 1950s as part of the whole "Godless Communism" crap.

Patriotism has always been used as a lever by the rich and powerful to control the middle class and keep them afraid of the poor/nonwhite/nonChristian/whatever other target group or scapegoat they have ready in order to keep the status quo from being upset. I'm so sorry that you're so incredibly fucking dumb and brainwashed that you can't see this simple fact.

I don't recall mentioning the pledge of allegiance. Obviously you have no patriotism since its just a tool according to you. It's amazing that according to you we are such a controlled society and yet so many are still trying to get here for those same principles. Did YOU ever serve in any branch of the armed services? I wonder if you could have brought yourself to swear to uphold and protect the constitution from all enemies foreign or domestic.

Republicans vote in lockstep,

This way to the sea! This way to the sea!

Really, Liney?

I see your 50 and raise you 50 more:

And if that's not enough, Liney, I will throw the book of Bushisms at you.

No one bothered to write a book with Biden's open mouth disease says.

Yeah, because even though his mouth often runs before his brain is fully in gear, at least his brain has gears. Frankly, the only reason you Teabaggers make a fuss about TELEPROMPTERS! is because you're jealous that Obama can read and you and Bush can't.

I think obama has more of a problem without the prompters, he has put his foot in his mouth when he goes off script.

Bush had his foot in his mouth ALL the time. And Romney managed to not only put his foot in his, but have room for some Koch as well.
