In reply to muselet. This reminds me of a letter to the editor in a local Detroit Newspaper about a month ago from a guy who admitted that his business, (HIS) business was saved by the stimulus package, tate he would have lost HIS business were it not for the stimulus. But, he would not vote for the President because he did not bring many job to Michigan.

In fairness Mittens, he’s held every position on the bailouts at one time or another.

In reply to ArrogantDemon. I know! Isn't it awesome? :). I hooted with laughter when I heard that he lost in Iowa while driving to work this morning. We no longer have a clown car full of entertainment, we have an entire circus to enjoy now.

This is the longest week Mittens has ever had.

He sucked at the debates

Gingrich is surging

GM is surging

Losing Iowa

He’s so wound up, he’s losing his cool when confronted with questions from the “small people”

Keep piling on

I had a conversation last night with an acquaintance in which he repeated the wingnut talking points on how unions are killing business in this Country (OK, so it was him yelling and me calmly telling him he was full of shit). It kind of scares me how ignorant people are about why they can work in at least semi-safe environments for 40-hour workweeks with some benefits (yes, they’re dwindling). Oh yeah, there;s also the matter of wages greater than the pittances companies pay their overseas workforce.

The decades-long, anti-union perception management campaign has been very effective. Those folks can’t govern for shit, but they can market.

In reply to muselet. Anyone who ~~works for a~~ is living should think twice—or even thrice—before voting for Mitt Romney (or any other R). Fixed. :)

Mitt Romney was just following the script the Republicans used in the 1970s, when Chrysler got loan guarantees (which also paid off): everything would be better if we could just rid our companies of all those overpaid, underworked, unionized workers. That’s the important bit; everything else is just window-dressing.

And Mitt is the GOP’s “eConOMICS” candidate?! Good gawd.
