Romney: 47% of Americans are losers, don't care about 'em

[Neil]

Note: Romney does not have any military service, either; first election with no veterans.

Not true.  It is the first one since 1928, though--neither Herbert Hoover nor Al Smith ever served in the US armed forces.

Neither did FDR though, unless you count being Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

I like how all those pictures except Eisenhower's were taken when they were taken relatively young.

The rest were out of uniform by the time they got old. Eisenhower was in the military for most his adult life, attaining the rank of General.

Well LBJ was in Congress before he was in the Navy.  His Navy service was kinda... special.  It wasn't like Nixon, Ford or Kennedy's.

Yeah and Reagan's was somewhat odd as well, that's assuming the photo isn't just from one of films.

Hey Phil, I seem to recall you predicting that Romney was going to play up his "Hispanic" background once the nomination was tied up.  Haven't seen that yet.

do you really think america has 140,000,000 seniors and disabled people or are you just a full time troll now?

are you not the least bit bothered that the class of federal income tax payer has been reduced to just 53% of the population and there are calls to tax these people more?

do you not understand that when you raise taxes on a guy that can chose who to hire and fire and to whom to give raises or ask for salary or benefit decreases that in the end you actually pass the pain right back to those 47%?

or instead are you just too busy being outraged that mitt only paid 14% of his gross income to notice that that means mitt paid 2,800,000 in income taxes to a bloated federal government that cannot get out of its own way?

That was an amusing rant! 

Seemed to be straight out of Paul Ryan's talking papers and, as is usual for his talk, full of lies and mistruths.

I thought you were smarter than that. "do you really think america has 140,000,000 seniors and disabled people?"  That smells of straw, big time.

Yes, amazing what happens to certain generations like that pretty much missed all the big wars.

Eh, it's just that Paul Ryan is radioactive.  That's why Boenher looks the way he does.  Now he's affecting Romney as well.

Yes, about 4 shades darker than he was the day before.   

Mitt Romney appeared on Univision Wednesday alongside Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas, but something was a little peculiar about his appearance -- his skin tone. Looking back at the hundreds of photos logging his every moment on the campaign trail, the Republican presidential nominee is usually not so shockingly tan.

While his orangey-brown appearance on Univision could have been the result of bad lighting or a makeup mishap, left-wing blog the Democratic Underground concluded that Romney "dyed his face brown for his Univision interview."

The claim is not completely out of the ballpark. After all, as Gawker points out, Romney did say "it would be helpful to be Latino," in a video secretly recorded at a campaign fundraiser earlier this year.

Appearing at a campaign fundraiser in Atlanta, Georgia, before his Univision interview, Romney showed a bit more color, but nowhere near the amount of bronze as seen on stage at the 6:30 p.m. ET filming.

When Romney got off of the plane Wednesday in Miami 'BEFORE' going to Univision his face was already brown, so no one should blame it on a Univision make-up person.

You can see in the photo below a vertical line on his neck - 47% of his neck is white and the rest is brown.

The photo below is from Wednesday and shows how his face looked when he got off of the plane in Miami:

I'm telling you.  Radiation burns.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm telling you.  Radiation burns.

The thing is, I wouldn't normally believe that this was some sort of really bad idea to "look" Latino, but this campaign has made so many bone-headed decisions all year long that, yeah, I really could believe these morons would do it.  The Romney Campaign Brain Trust is really capable of being that stupid.

[FunkMonk]

I find it difficult to believe that the Romney campaign believed it to be a good idea for Mitt to get a tan before an appearance on Univision. No one is that stupid.

Maybe the Romney journey is a story that works best if you suspend your disbelief and just vote ?

His manufactured taxes for 2011 were released showing that he overpaid, only deducting $2.25 million instead of the full $4 million for which he was eligible, just so it didn't look as bad as it could've been.
Believe me, these people are that stupid.
