I’m thinking that if people accept retroactive retirement as an excuse for whatever it was that Bain did in '99–'02 that was so bad, he’s got a perfect excuse for passing Romneycare as Governor of Massachusetts. As a Massachusetts resident, I can certainly testify that he didn’t seem to be doing any actual governing from '04 on. Can someone retroactively provide us with a Governor who wasn’t a complete douchebag for the last two years of the Romney administration?
Sheldon Adelson, the Vegas casino magnate who’s donated tens of millions to the Romney and Gingrich campaigns, is now in danger of losing his casino operator’s license.
Apparently, the Nevada State Gaming Commission frowns on business deals with the Chinese mafia.
The American people would be fools not to elect him, you mean. Under his leadership, the US could retroactively never have invaded Iraq or Afghanistan - how’s that for an exit strategy ?
You think far too small:[ul]
[li]Social Security and Medicare? Never happened.[/li][li]Pure Food & Drug Act? Never heard of it.[/li][li]40-hour work week? Poof! It’s gone.[/li][/ul]
And the list keeps going, and going, and going. It’s enough to make a top-hatted capitalist lightheaded.
This Republican governor is too good looking to be gay or bi (according to her).
‘“Black women that look like me don’t engage in relationships like that,” (said) a giggling Carroll.’
Still way too small.
Romney To Travel Back In Time To Kill Liberal Versions Of Himself
Today’s clear winner is our very own Clothahump. In a valiant and continuing effort to undermine the position of anyone who might possibly overestimate his intelligence, he fails to notice an ongoing thread on this exact quote, but he commits the exact same stupid error in massively misrepresenting the quote and taking it completely out of context.
Congrats, Clothy, your ability to make stupid, uninformed, and misleading comments has been demonstrated yet again.
You know, we really ought to disqualify professional idiots like Clothahump. They have an unfair advantage.
I can’t believe this “retroactively retired” nonsense is actually happening.
Sure, Romney is an inveterate liar, but if you’re going to tell such a stupid, hamfisted lie about your tenure at Bain, a lie prompted by the fact that your most significant life experience has turned out to be a liability to your political career (he previously told the same lie during his successful campaign for Mass. governor), then you really ought to have a better explanation than “I was CEO, chairman, president, and sole shareholder…but I wasn’t really in control of the company.” Really, asshole?
Of course, he can always count on his butt-buddies in the media to clumsily attempt to cover for him. If Politifact and their Lie of the Year didn’t prove that our political media is broken and that the “fact check” outfits are in fact propagandistic scams meant to impart a sheen of truth and credibility to baldly partisan bullshit, then Glenn Kessler of Fact-Chuck standing up for Romney by claiming that the SEC filings were “boilerplate” and somehow less credible because the SEC source who brought the filings to the attention of the Boston Globe is a Democrat, should be the nail in the coffin. Shameless hacks all.
Don’t you know that it takes less than 3 seconds of direct contact with a Democrat for his or her Librul Reality-Distortion Field to completely scramble up the contents of a Republican’s legally-mandated and oath-sworn disclosure forms?
OH MY GOD did anybody see the Joe Arpaio press conference today? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!
It’s good form to provide a link than to assume that we’ all watched a press conference given by a conspiracy kook in America’s armpit.
This appears to be today’s news conference.
The guy is 80 years old? Has anyone explained the pension plan to him?
Well I would have, except I can’t find it on youtube. Here is an article on AZcentral about it, but it doesn’t really capture the insanity.
Reading through the Fark thread might be better.
The first Q&A question from the reporters was “Do you really expect anyone to believe this?” Another one asked why he’s investigating stuff like this when he apparently didn’t investigate 500 cases of child abuse in the county.
Did any reporter ask them how they explain the birth announcement in the local paper shortly after the President was born?
George W. Bush Institute Launches Book On Economic Growth
Well, at least the title of the book (“The 4 Percent Solution”) shows Bush’s ability to do more with less, getting by on just a bit more than half of Sherlock Holmes’ standard ration.
Can I get it on a three-for-one deal with Bill Clinton’s “The Joys of Monogamy” and Barney Frank’s “Why I Love Kissing Ladies”?
