No more Texas governors for president

“Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.” - Molly Ivins

I’m pretty sure the feeling is not mutual.

Mitt Romney is full of praise for Bill Clinton even as he heaps scorn on Obama.

“Almost a generation ago, Bill Clinton announced that the era of big government was over,” says Romney, “Clinton was signaling to his own party that Democrats should no longer try to govern by proposing a new program…

Mitt Romney’s Zombie Problem

The GOP front-runner’s grabbing more of the delegates—but he’s being pursued by living-dead competitors he cannot stop.

robertreich:

One of the few things Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich agree on is that President Obama is turning America into “European-style welfare culture.”

In his standard stump speech Romney charges Obama with creating a nation of dependents. “Over the past three years Barack Obama has been replacing our…

Oops, again.

The footage was used without permission and the extensive use of the broadcast “inaccurately suggests that NBC News and Mr. Brokaw have consented to the use of this material and agree with the political position espoused by the videos,” NBC’s vice president of media law, David N. Sternlicht, wrote Romney’s campaign manager, Matt Rhoades.

“Aside from the obvious copyright issues, this use of the voice of Mr. Brokaw and the NBC News name exploits him and the journalistic credibility of NBC News,” the letter said. The network asked for the campaign to stop running the ad immediately and revise any other videos or commercials to remove at NBC material.

“As a news organization, NBC News objects to any use of NBC News journalists and our copyrighted material that suggests to the public that we or our journalists are taking sides with any individual or organization involved in a political campaign or dispute, and we request that your organization respect that concern,” the letter said.

I can’t help wondering what Mitt Romney would do to Reveille….

I live in the private sector.

MITT ROMNEY.

The private sector is like six big-ass houses.

The tax returns show that Romney is a wealthy man who doesn’t actually work for what he makes. He pays taxes, but at a far lesser rate than most middle class Americans. He also hoards undisclosed amounts of money in the Caymans which the great majority of Americans can’t afford to do, and I suspect most would frown upon those who use such accounts. It means Romney has something to hide still. Romney may also have something to hide in returns going back further than 2010. If his tax rate was 13.9% in 2010, I’m curious to know if it was lower in 2009, and I’d like to know what it was during the Bush years of 2001-2008. Plus, I want to know more about the Swiss bank account and those older returns may tell that tale.

Well, of course it’s getting better.

Republican presidential candidate MITT ROMNEY, ignoring the usual GOP talking point on the economy, to right-wing nutjob and hate talk radio host Laura Ingraham on January 20.

No wonder the Republican Party hates this guy.
