1. The Republicans Really Hate Them Because They're So Damned Likable

Mar 2013

Mitt and Ann Romney were so much the epitome of privileged white people and accidentally let that fact slip when talking about the 47% and "you people." The facts were further cemented when Ann talked about how she and Mitt were able to live on the sales of their stock portfolio during their college years. Just about no one has a stock portfolio Ann so you don't represent real people. You should have kept your trap shut in order to make the most basic attempt to be likable.

And your blaming the media for Mitt's loss in the election rather than admitting a majority of the US electorate just didn't like what Mitt and the GOP were selling during the election is laughable. Most of us don't really like regulating a woman's vagina, denying contraception and telling LGBT people they're defective, evil and should not be allowed to love the people they love. You and the GOP might want to look at the calendar. It's not the 50's any more. And by the way, taxes after WWII were just about the highest ever and we had a wonderful surge in the economy. Much as we did during the Clinton administration when the President oversaw policies that created a surplus George W squandered.
