We must get this guy into as many unscripted Q&As as possible. He is writing every ad that America could possibly need in fall 2012.

Sound worse than it is. Not good in the era of twitter and sound bites.

OK guys, this is how the Ben Smith Politico-model of web journalism works: (1) Find quote that sounds bad out-of-context
(2) Present quote out-of-context
(3) Report on the controversy you've created
(4) Watch the ad-views pile up as group A engages in a futile argument with group B over how to interpret the quote It's basically trolling as a business model. And for those screaming “liberal bias,” they did the same thing to Elizabeth Warren over the weekend.

An obscenely wealthy Republican had a “let them eat cake” moment and people are surprised?

“Are there no prisons ? No workhouses ?”

You've got to remember that when Romney talks about “the very poor,” he means anybody who makes less than $250,000 a year.

This is the same crap that we've gotten used to with W. Bush and Biden. Somehow, it just rolls off of them.

I intend to sue this guy for emotional distress, having watched this clip. My brain is making popping sounds. “I'm not focussed on the very rich - they're doing just fine”. Yeah, I'd say you are, d-bag.

Mitt needs a debugging, because it is obvious that his internal logic has been corrupted by a Trojan virus. For someone who seems so computerized and mechanical, he sure as hell gets a lot of things wrong.
Then again, it is impossible to program a computer to feel empathy.

“I'm not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there if it needs repair, they can have their lobbyists talk to me about it and if they donate enough money to my campaign, I'll fix it”

Safety net? Who else thinks he really meant to say homeless shelters and soup kitchens? By the way, aren't a growing number of what he calls the “poor” former members of the middle class? Was he in a coma between 2008 and now, during the housing crisis?  Anybody else think he's going to bring back paupers' prisons?

When the Mittbot2011 was built, they forgot to install the compassion chip. Seamus, Romney's dog that was crated on top of his car for a 12 hour trip will verify that the previous versions didn't have it either.  http://www.dogsagainstromney.com/

You mean the safety net his party is actively trying to destroy?
