However after he finally sewed up the nomination they fell in line like good little brown shirts.
However apparently News Corps founder, and soon to be incarcerated criminal, Rupert Murdoch is not at all happy with the Republican's choice. As evidenced by these recent tweets.
Because let's face it, if Romney cannot count on Fox News to back him up, he could not get elected hall monitor in this country, much less President of the United States.
Update: I can't imagine what it is about Mitt Romney, that so upsets Murdoch so much.
If Romney can raise Murdochs blood pressure enough..........
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of this Aussie poking his wrinkled nose into American Politics. Mitt Romney isn't a strong candidate or a strong leader.
ReplyDeleteThe media and his supporters have to wait hours or even days to get thoughts or no comments from this empty suit.
Fox News and GOP this is what you reaped, so this, Mitt Romney is what you sowed.
Try harder in 2016!
Obama 2012!
Sadly, Rupert is an American now. Not the kind of immigrant that does this country proud, however, as he is a nasty, grasping, criminal, megalomaniac.
DeleteLMAO...Rupert Murdoch is tweeting Mitt Romney talking points in 140 characters or less. You know the old coot must be really upset if he reached out to Mitt via Twitter.
ReplyDeleteOh, how the GOP continues to fall. If the GOP hadn't allowed the sideshow acts and fringe elements to hijack their party, they would have had a strong candidate to challenge President Obama.
Mitt Romney has a lot of baggage that still hasn't reached the claim area. Mitt Romney isn't presidential, never has been and never will be.
True. 24-7 hatred of the President with no alternative grows old. When Fox can't admit that RMoney has no plan other than the failed ones of the Bushes and St. Ronnie the Tax Raiser, they know they are in trouble. I'm sure that why we heard Condi's name floated yesterday. A black woman who kowtowed to King Bush for 8 years. Yeah, just what the US needs. But the GOP will apllaud her knowledge and foreign policy experience. And she plays the piano and can speak English too! Also.
ReplyDeleteMy sister had a good thought last night. The Ron Paul fringe is going to hijack the convention. This is Murdoch's plan to undermine Romney and put Ron Paul in or have Ron Paul be the VP choice.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that is why Scary is there in her "mall booth", ready to leap in and 'save' the GOP.
Oh the horror of it and kind of sad.
Scary is desperate to keep a toe in the mix. "Death Panels" has arisen again. I wonder how many lemmings are still fooled by this cretin, other than the cadre of dopes at the pee pond.
DeleteRon Paul would be a very scary presidential possibility as well. He is not known for his respect for civil rights or for his respect for the Constitution either. He'd do in every regulation that is protecting all of us all of the time right now.
DeleteIn the beginning of the campaign, Romney spoke out on his 'policies' and repeatedly contradicted himself. Soo...the campaign shut him down and now he won't say much of anything except "Obama bad, me good". That's not enough to win a national election and Murdoch know it.
ReplyDeleteAs narcissistic as he is, Murdoch must be incredibly frustrated to be forced to support a loser. The only way Romney can win is through the deluge of corporate cash blanketing the airways with lies (thank you ever so much, SCOTUS) and by using voter disenfranchisement and election fraud. In other words, lying and cheating. Of course, that will be no problem for the current Republican party or for Murdoch since they excel at those two strategies.
I mourn for our democratic process.

Obama campaign tags Romney as 'outsourcer-in-chief' in new ads

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren lambasted Republican Mitt Romney Monday as she introduced his general election opponent, President Obama, at a Boston fund-raiser.
ReplyDeleteTeeing off on the former Massachusetts governor, Warren told a full house at Symphony Hall: “Mitt Romney tells us, in his own words, he believes corporations are people. No, Mitt, corporations are NOT people. People have hearts. They have kids. They get jobs. They get sick. They love and they cry and they dance. They live and they die. Learn the difference.”
Obama also attacked Romney during his 40-minute speech, but his remarks lacked the bite of the line uttered by Warren.
“Mitt, learn this,” she added. “We don’t run this country for corporations; we run it for people.”

God, She is Awesome!
DeleteRomney has an unlimited amount of big money backing him. For whatever reason, this election has brought out the low-level imbeciles, racists ranting and railing against President Obama.
ReplyDelete____________________
Washingon Post story:
"The hair-cutting incident, was confirmed by five of Romney's classmates who described the event as "senseless, stupid, idiotic" and "vicious."
"Candy Porter was the victim of a well-known prank in which Romney and his Cranbrook friends posed as cops, complete with fake siren and badges, and pretended to bust some friends and their dates. Porter told the Post she was "terrified."
"Romney was also remembered as having shouted "Atta girl!" when another closeted gay student tried to speak up in the classroom."

Romney is a pathological liar. People who are supporting him are the one percents clubbies or those who want anybody but Obama or your average Fox News 24/7 watchers.

Am I the only one to notice Mitt's eye job?
ReplyDeleteNoticed it late last year
Last night, Stephen Colbert looked at how Mitt Romney has been asking Republican governors to keep it quiet about the improving economy in their states.

You know, I almost feel sorry for Mitt Romney. Almost. Everybody hates the man. Democrats, Republicans, Paul-ites. The only ones who don't hate Mitt seem to be his family and they're probably lying.
ReplyDeleteI can't even get close to feeling sorry for Mitt Romney. He is a king in his own mind.
DeleteWouldn't be too sure about Hispanics not voting for Romney. A strong "Latino Republican" movement has been building (or is being built by the powers that be) over the last decade or so. I know this from first hand experience as one of my Latino relatives is heavily involved in this, and is a big player in the Arizona chapter. They are *very* politically active, and out in the community recruiting. Scary....
ReplyDeleteI live in Arizona. They are a small minority. And we (Latinos) do not like being pandered to so obviously. So have faith. Your relative may be gung ho (and not smart enough-sorry) but most of us know better than to vote for a party that despises us! Especially in Arizona, but I'm sure elsewhere.
DeleteYour relative is foolish to vote against his own interests unless he is a white multimillionaire.
any latino who votes for dimwitted mittens is a brainwashed meth-head, unless they're wealthy and don't want to pay tax.
DeleteLatinos for Romney = Jews for Hitler.
