While I am sure Jimmy and James Carter are celebrating I have some thoughts on the 47% comment. (it was a mistake for the Romney campaign to make fun of Jimmy Carter.)

In retrospect I do not belive Mitt Romney really belived the 47% comment, I believe he was struggeling in front of that audience to convence them that he is a real conservative, and to get them onboard with the donations. He said what he felt they wanted to hear. It was clumsey and alkward of Romney to say those things, but it appeared like the geek talking to a group of jocks in the High School lockeroom, trying to get in good with them.

By all other measures Mitt appeares to be a better person than that 47% comment.
 
He's a trust fund baby, who's so rich he's uncomfortable even talking to upper middle class people much less working class!
 
When I see people seeking the top power position this world offers LYING when everyone knows they are lying that is not just mere stupidity that raises lying to the level of sociopath.


you may not like that but it doesnt make it untrue

I'm not standing up for Mitt, but Obamas got to be the biggest lier of all.

Yea...remember his famous NASCAR comment? I bet Romney's never drank Bud from a can. LOL Still and all, being a trust fund baby doesn't make you a bad person. Out of touch with most people maybe but not bad.
 
The problem with Mitt Romney is that he only wanted to be President to say that he was President, not because he had policy goals that he thought were great things to accomplish. He was a title chaser. That's why he took both sides of a variety of positions over the years and told people whatever he thought they wanted to hear at that particular time.

He wasn't moored to anything other than his desire to hold the title of "President of the United States of America." It's hard to win that way.

No, you try and understand the nature of politics and vote for the most competent person who will advance your best interest instead of Mother Theresa.

and I did that by voting johnson. Did you realize that your best interests were bombing other countries, droning innocent foreigners dead, prosecuting a war on people who smoke weed, using the military to arrest americans and detaining them indefinitely?

I was reading an article that says a lot of highly successful people are sociopaths. People have the misconception that sociopath involves criminal behavior and it doesn't. I will have to see if I can retrieve the article! Bankers and lawyers are two professions I remember that have a high rate of sociopaths.
