First I laughed, Then I cried: Mitt Romney Cries For Mercy

by synchronicity 8/10/2012 - 7:20 pm

I saw the headlines:

Covert Mitt:  Don't Attack My Business Background

Romney to Obama:  Truce?

And I could not stop laughing.  I laughed so hard at the absolute insanity of Romney suggesting that anyone needed to layoff his business record, the one that 'qualifies him to be president'.  What? 

And then I got more information about the charges that his company was founded in part by investments from a man heavily involved in supporting death squads in El Salvador where tens of thousands of people were killed. 

Bain Death Squad Ties: Bain Launched With Millions From Oligarchs Behind Salvadoran Atrocities

Add to this all of the people fired and layed off while their jobs were shipped overseas and the callousness just made me cry...  that so much power is in the hands of men like this makes me cry...

Bain is still shipping jobs to China, and Romney is till profiting from killing US jobs and the lives of US workers, families and communities.

The "truce" moment was one where I had to stop myself from posting here.  It was just too funny.  And, I'd add, that if Al Gore or John Kerry had asked Dubya for a truce on anything that the media would have emasculated them over it, but somehow it's okay for Mittens.

But, you're right.  It's not funny.  It's a guy who views the whole world as "the help."  He cannot lead us.

It makes me chuckle to visualize those on Obama's team like Axelrod and Carville when they heard the 'truce please' plea.  No doubt this just caused more of a pile on (it may take a bit, since they no doubt can't quit laughing).  Geez I hope they tweeted about this and the messages are published.
