So Romney apologizes all over the place for his "error" re: the 47% debacle and SOME DUMB ASSES

on CNN AND MSNBC insinuate that we should accept his apology and continue on.

Well, ain't that grand??????????? Even though others on the show disagreed.

Don't know if it was CNN or MSNBC - was flipping back and forth getting mad.

I have to stop watching MSNBC unless it's in the early evening when the anchors are SANE.

That fart has dissipated by now. He misspoke. What, don't you believe him?????

Lets all hope Rmoney has another fund raiser with hidden cameras lurking about. Beside, bringing it up would only make us look like whiners.

Just saying it was wrong isn't going to get it. The only way he is going to get out from underneath this is to come up with some credible explanation as to why he said something he doesn't believe. I don't believe it is possible. And even if he does, it will reinforce the notion that he will say anything to anybody to get elected.

In the next edition of Mitt Romney's book, the title will be changed to "Just One Apology."

The title of his ghost-written lie-filled book ("No Apologies&quot needs to be repeated, with the question "Were you lying about 'No Apologies' or is this apology another flip-flop?"

5. That 47% video . . .

was the only clip I have ever seen of rMoney where he seems relaxed and comfortable. In all other footage available, he looks like a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest . . . SCARED SHITLESS. The fake chuckles, the stiff gait, the awkward speech . . . all point to a man out of his element.

But at that fundraiser, with all those gazillionaires, Mittens purred like a fat kitten with a warm bowl of milk in his privileged little tummy.

I DON'T BUY HIS 'APOLOGY' AND I NEVER WILL! THAT WAS THE REAL WRONGNEY !!!

The video didn't sound rehearsed or read off notes; it sounded like he was speaking opinions that had resided in his head for ages and were part of him.

Poll numbers can make "No Apologies!" repigs sound like their fake-spirituality is almost real (via the profuse apologies).
