Mitt even loves the 47%…if they vote for him.

That could’ve been O getting a call from Benghazi asking for help. Btw outside the inner cities, much of PA feels lied to about all the Hope and Change promised 4 years ago.

mittney is truly freaky. In pictures of him (it?), he (it?) looks like there is nobody home upstairs. “it” is a tool of the far “right.”

^ No, he doesn’t. He has no interest in anyone not rich. His discomfort around ordinary people in Iowa — his supporters(!) — was obvious. He couldn’t wait to get away from them.

For the 47%, he has sneering contempt, as his candid comments show.

Huh? plain english would be nice.

Or not, if communicating ideas isn’t part of the message.

Dammit, Rob. You didn’t have to make one of the 47% look like Romney envisions them.

I don’t know what you mean. This guy could very well be a self-employed plumber or similar, paying federal taxes. He looks middle-class to me, albeit lower middle class.

Willard envisions the 47% as being welfare queens.

Pennsylvania should worry about fracking more. Romney will frack Pennsylvania if they let him.

It won’t help.

Romney already lost this election. He was never once ahead in the EC. He never once had a good shot at 270 votes.
.
I predict that tracking polls in Florida will tell Mitt that he’s going to lose Florida by a big margin. Mitt will then know that it’s over!

This electon will be all done by about 1:00 pm EDT.

They have already decided, that is why the polls there are so accurate. 52% Obama, 48% mittens.

I bet Romney will win Florida but lose the EC anyway/ 25 cents. Any takers?

The President has my vote.
Romney’s derogatory remarks and disdain for nearly half the nation’s population made him unfit to lead an already polarized country.

Regrettably, I fear FL wil vote for Mitt. If the lawn signs are any indicator, he’ll clean the Pres"s clock. As I said, REGRETTABLY!!!!

My what a mature political comment. Sounds like the “cut low” contest we had in middle school, except you never outgrew it…
