This says it all,,,
Making sure that newly jobless campaign aides didn’t mooch a free ride home: that was one of Romney’s top priorities. Screw The Help; that’s the Romney way.

No Olympic Horse

This is my response to a friend of mine who posted on my facebook wall her concern regarding RobmeRyan and health care ("Romney Health Care Plan May Come With Consequences For You" www.huffingtonpost.com),  "With these 2 in office I will loose most of my coverage, I couldn't afford my meds, just to stay alive."
<Saying this with much acid dripping sarcasm I can muster> Well miss, we have a plan for that, it's called the ER.  You see now little lady, an amblance will come pick ya up when you is not feelin well.  It will plop ya into the nearest hospital.  Where the fine, scientifically uneducated doctors, (who went to the Akin's school of medicine BTW) will bring your little ole fever down so you can return home and subserviently cater to your husband's every need.  All the while pooping out young spiritual warriors for our grand cause!!

And BTW, unlike Mrs. Robme,  my friend can not afford an Olympic horse for therapy for her MS!!

Why Mitt Romney's Lyme Disease Mailers Are Dangerous

A highly influential social conservative in Virginia, Michael Farris, believes that people can contract “chronic Lyme disease” that must be treated with long-term antibiotics. The Center for Disease Control says there is no such thing as “chronic Lyme disease” and “long-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease has been associated with serious complications.”

[,,,]
Farris, who has no medical training, was invited to speak with Romney on his campaign bus a couple of weeks ago. Farris said that he and Romney “talked about Lyme disease. It was cordial and encouraging.”

[,,,]
The Romney flier advocates providing “local physicians with protection from lawsuits to ensure they can treat the disease with the aggressive antibiotics that are required.” Farris’ wife receives treatment from “Dr. Joseph Jemsek, who moved his practice to Washington, D.C., after losing his medical license in North Carolina for treating patients with long-term antibiotics.”

Rush Limbaugh Calls Romney's Libya Disaster a Media Conspiracy to Protect Obama

Romney took questions today. I was told that there was an open mic and that the media at the Romney event could be heard coordinating their attack questions for him. But we can’t find it. We’ve looked everywhere. I’ve been told it aired someplace, but we cannot find it. I wish we could. I would love to be able to play that for you, but we can’t find ‘em, the media actually coordinating their questions for Romney. It was the same question over and over: “Do you think you jumped the gun? Do you think you jumped the gun? How do you feel about jumping the gun? Why did you want to jump the gun? Have you jumped the gun on this, do you think? Are you speaking out too soon? Don’t you think you should shut up? I mean, you’re not the president. Politics ends at the water’s edge.” All of that stuff.

Romney under friendly fire for his response to embassy attack in Libya | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

I think we will be seeing more ugliness in regards to the fallout from Romney's statement,,,,the GOP are desperate to regain the White House,,,I will let your minds wander on that one,,,

Will Mitt Romney's hasty response to the deadly attacks on the American diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya go down as the misstep that doomed his campaign to unseat President Barack Obama?

Obama: Romney strategy is ‘shoot first and aim later’ | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

As one of my friends so aptly stated, ",,, this fuck up was the PR ticket of death,,,this will make a great study in a public affairs/PR class,,,"

As we were talking the subject of the debates came up in how much of a disaster they may be,,,my thought, Romney will look for any excuse to cancel them,,,then this headline popped into my news feed Netanyahu ‘determined to attack Iran’ before US elections, claims Israel’s Channel 10,,,welp there's your excuse if you follow the thinking of Paul Ryan,,,

"In the face of such a tragedy, we are reminded that the world needs American leadership," Ryan said, managing a quick dig at the president. "And the best guarantee of peace is American strength." Obama Says Romney 'Shoots First and Aims Later' in Embassy Attack Comments

My translation,,,war,,,war,,,war,,,yea like that really solved anything,,,I like this line of thinking much better,,,

Obama, read Carney, also told CBS that "the situation in Cairo was one in which an embassy that is being threatened by major protests releases a press release saying that the film that had disturbed so many Muslims around the world wasn't representative of what Americans believe about Islam in an effort to cool the situation down. It didn't come from me. It didn't come from Secretary Clinton. It came from folks on the ground who are potentially in danger.

"And my tendency is to cut those folks a little bit of slack when they're in that circumstance rather than try to question their judgment from the comfort of a campaign office."

That IMHO is diplomacy or part of it,,,

Repubs scrambling?

A random thought that passed through my mind  around 4 pm in regards to the mess in Libya,,,,

Will we see an increase in republican efforts concerning the voters purge,,,Romney's ridiculous comments concerning the incident is sinking his ship and will have the repubs scrambling as voters try and distance themselves,,,,so will they re-double their efforts to "steal" the election??

Romney Adviser Calls Foreign Policy A ‘Distraction’

Putin says Romney comment justifies Russia’s opposition to US missile defense plans

And it all ties together,,,

I'm not quite sure what this idiot Jones' involvement really is but they need to prosecute him and this ding dong filmaker,,,the hell with so called religious persecution and free speech ,,,,

U.S. pastor Terry Jones, who had inflamed anger in the Muslim world in 2010 with plans to burn the Koran, said he had promoted "Innocence of Muslims", which U.S. media said was produced by an Israeli-American property developer; but clips of another film called "Mohammad, Prophet of Muslims", had been circulating for weeks before the protest.

That film portrayed Mohammad as a fool, a philanderer and a religious fake. In one clip posted on YouTube Mohammad was shown in a sexual act with a woman.

Jones, a pastor in Florida whose latest stunt fell on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, triggered riots in Afghanistan in 2010 with his threat to burn the Koran.

Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet offensive and any depiction of him can cause outbursts of anger in the Islamic world and among Muslims in Europe.

Back in December 2011 during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mitt Romney decided to drop by Vietnam War veteran Bob Garon's breakfast table for a quick photo-op. What Romney didn't realize is that Garon was sitting with his husband, whom he had married just a few months earlier.

Here is Mitt Romney’s response, when asked for help by local resident Jodie Chiarello, who lost everything and whose house was completely underwater: “He just told me to, um, there’s assistance out there. He said, go home and call 211,” said Chiarello. (In some states, 211 is a public assistance number.)

The theree is this, a bit more of a controlled atmosphere this time,,,and since when is anything "unscheduled",,,

On Thursday, veterans piled into a Romney campaign bus, parked in front of legislative offices here. Inside, a phone bank was set up and they made calls for the Republican presidential hopeful. Mr. Romney briefly hopped on board to greet them and promised to help ensure that veterans returning home would have jobs awaiting them.

Mitt Romney’s Reckless Russia Comment Endanger US National Security

This is a bit scarey,,,

Putin claims that Romney’s reckless remarks justify Russia’s opposition to our missile defense plans:

“I’m grateful to him (Romney) for formulating his stance so clearly, because he has once again proven the correc
tness of our approach to missile defense problems,” Putin said of Romney. “The most important thing for us is that even if he doesn’t win now, he or a person with similar views may come to power in four years. We must take that into consideration while dealing with security issues for a long perspective.”

Speaking of “distractions”, on April 20, Romney conflated Russia with the Soviets, saying “Obama ‘entered into an agreement with the Soviets, excuse me, with Russia’ in the nuclear arms START treaty that effectively required the United States to reduce its weapons stockpile while allowing Russia to increase its stockpile.”

Bachmann: Vote for Romney because Obama is ‘extremely wealthy’ | The Raw Story

Sigh,,,she needs to re-learn to basic math,,,last I knew 7.3 mill was less than 190 mill,,,,personally Romney's wealth is not the issue for me, but because of his vast wealth he has lost touch with those of us who struggle paycheck to paycheck,,,he will not be one to govern for all people only the elite,,,

“Well, President Obama is extremely wealthy,” Bachmann replied. “He and his wife have been wealthy for a number of years, and so I think that’s really the issue. Obama is wealthy, what do, or — what does he understand about the common man right now?”

[,,,]
In late 2011, New York magazine determined that Obama had a net wealth of about $7.3 million, thanks to his successful books and his presidential salary of $395,188.

Romney, however, had net worth as much 136 times greater than the current president. The Republican candidate has personally estimated his wealth to be between $190 and $250,,,

Mitt Romney Campaign: We Will Not 'Be Dictated By Fact-Checkers'

I was drawn in by the headline and subject of the article,,,

"We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers," Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said at a panel organized by ABC News.

BUT the following comment really got my attention,,,

It's called "fleecing the gentiles".

“We can pick out Elders in Israel right here who can beat the world at gambling, who can handle the cards, cut and shuffle them with the smartest rogue on the face of God’s foot-stool. I can produce Elders here who can shave their smartest shavers, and take their money from them. We can beat the world at any game.” Brigham Young 1858

Mitt Romney's Candidacy is Turning into The Republican Party's Worst Nightmare

Since Romney’s attitude of arrogance stems from his privileged experience as a “businessman”, he is telling the American people the story of the decline of the middle class over the last 40 years, albeit without meaning to.
