"If a Democrat came here, they'd say no one should live like this."

Romney had a fundraiser at the home of Papa John's Pizza's founder. He started gushing about what a wonderful, opulent place it was and said "If a Democrat came here, they'd say no one should live like this."

They just quoted this on Alex Wagner's MSNBC show.

Fuck YOU, Romney, you entitled piece fo shit.

"Conard concedes that the banks made some mistakes, but the important thing now, he says, is to provide them even stronger government support. He advocates creating a new government program that guarantees to bail out the banks if they ever face another run. As for exotic derivatives, Conard doesn’t see a problem."

It took me a while to resolve the disconnect enough to actually understand what Romney was saying. What a jerk.

Not that I can remember ever buying any from them before.

Probably cardboard shit like Domino's.

A conservative says, "This has never happened to me so why should I care?"

A liberal says, "This should never happen to anyone, that's why I care."

Surely this isn't open to DEBATE at this late date, is it? It's another one of his batshit-crazy things, right?
