    MurDoch musings:

    “Ir-remedial MittStakes were made.”

    "Ann’s dancing horse would fare better than the horse’s patoot she married.’

    “voting rights for women / minorities have not been repealed yet, Mitt.”

    “money cannot buy you a personality”

  3. Yeah, right, Ru–whatever you say. Have the Koch boys made any indication(s) on where they lean? (Remember, they got more votes than you). Like him or not, Mr. Romney can at least speak in coherent sentences that don’t always involve dog whistles. That stated, I believe he’d be all wrong for our nation, economic-structurally speaking. On other issues, it’s a fall-back to his “religious” beliefs (whatever they are this decade) and/or who antes up the most in off-shore donations. Go, Mitt, go – if for nothing else but to agitate fellas like Ru from Australia.

  4. It sounds like Mittens has been given his marching orders from the hive mind over at the Borg Collective known as Faux.

    In other words, “Assimilate or be destroyed” Mittwit…its your only hope.

    Subtext is everything here.

    Romney is a loser and that will stick with him from here on. No one votes for a loser. He’s history. It’s only the media that’s keeping the Romney might run meme alive.
