"If People Think There’s Something Wrong With Success, ‘Vote for the Other Guy" [View all]



Can R-Money be ANY MORE of a completely out-of-touch ASSHOLE? The answer is "None More Assholey . . . at least until Rick Santorum speaks again."

http://news.yahoo.com/romney-cadillacs-people-think-something-wrong-success-vote-201808513.html

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace pressed Romney about that statement as well as his answer during Wednesday's GOP debate when he refused to directly answer a question on the biggest misconception about him.

"Governor, can you understand why some voters would be put off by those things?" Wallace asked.

"You know, I can't be perfect," Romney said with a laugh, defending the Cadillac comment by saying his wife has a car at each of their homes, one in Massachusetts and one in California.

He continued, “If people think there’s something wrong with being successful in America, then they’d better vote for the other guy, because I’ve been extraordinarily successful and I want to use that success and that know-how to help the American people."



Riiiiiiiiiight, because you really used that success and know-how when your company nuked jobs, closed companies and pocketed the winnings.

Don't ever stop being you, Giftastic. Just keep on talking and pretend America loves Reaganomics.
