Pravda eviscerates Mitt Romney over his remarks identifying Russia as America's "number one geopolitical foe."

"Oh come on! It's just Russia! Who cares what those Commies think anyhow? Wait, what?"
Wow, these Russians do NOT pull their punches!

Get a load of this:

 So, in an op-ed today posted on Pravda's website, the infamous former Soviet newspaper writes, "Electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States of America would be like appointing a serial paedophile as a kindergarten teacher, a rapist as a janitor at a girls' dormitory or a psychopath with a fixation on knives as a kitchen hand. His comments on Russia are a puerile attempt at making the grand stage and boy, did he blow it..." 

Then, Pravda praises present Russian relations with the United States under President Obama. "Exactly at a time when Russia and the USA are finding that they have far more in common than differences, exactly when they see that they are much more friends than foes, when they see that there is so much to be gained through collaboration, a foul-mouthed, big-headed oaf like Romney with more money than sense makes a comment that reveals who he really is to the world: a pea-brained, pith-headed simpleton with too much testosterone and too little common sense, with zero tact, no diplomacy and a paramount grasp on the intricacies of world politics. A prize, good-for-nothing ignoramus," writes Pravda.

Damn! They did not even leave any meat on his bones after that savaging!

Still, you have to admit they have a point.

Now of course having Pravda go after Romney might increase his street cred with a certain segment of the GOP base, in particular the pointy head mouth breathers who slept through the last three decades and don't yet realize the Cold War has ended segment.  However that group will probably hold their noses and reluctantly vote for Romney (Or rather AGAINST the secret Socialist Muslim Obama) no matter what.

The folks that will NOT take to well to this are the Independents, who tend to be far better educated and far more aware of current events than the GOP paint chip eaters. To that group of voters this is going to be nothing but bad news for Mittens. Which of course does not bode well for him in the general election.

And speaking of bad news, the Obama Diary has up a chart that illustrates Romney's record of sending jobs, and investing much of his money, overseas.

For a larger image click here.
Gee, a candidate with a history of sending American jobs overseas who is already damaging our relations with foreign allies. Oh yeah, Mittens has "Presidential" written ALL over him.

    The writer from Pravda should tell us what they really think!!!

    THWACK!!!

    O/T - Mittens exposed == Mitt Romney's PAC secrety donated $10,000 to Anti-Gay Marriage Group NOM at the time of Prop 8 in CA

    "when Romney eventually made his donation, he did so quietly, and through an unusual channel. Records filed by Romney's Free and Strong America PAC with the Federal Election Commission did not include details of that $10,000 donation. Nor did NOM's public 990 form. In fact, record of the payment was only uncovered Friday when the pro-gay rights Human Rights Campaign was sent a private IRS filing from NOM via a whistleblower. The Human Rights Campaign shared the filing with The Huffington Post."

    Somewhere in the back of my mind I have a nagging feeling that this'll all be over in two days, that the entire gop primary has been an elaborate April fools joke. Why not? That's just as probable as the aggregation of this gaggle of clowns.

    Breaking News: April 2, 2012. During an impromptu press conference with Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Paul Rush Limbaugh came out on stage and shouted "April fools!!! Awwww, man, did we have you guys going!! We actually had you thinking that this was the gop primary field!!! Awwwww, guffaw, guffaw, mumblblbl.. [belch].... you've been PUNKED, America!!! Guffaw, mmmmbllll..[fart]... hmmphhahaha."

      Yeah that's for sure. Anybody with car elevators for his beach house doesn't eat pink slime in his burgers. Some reporter should ask Willard what's in his burgers. Get him on the record about this pink slime stuff.

      Is having it in school lunches good for the 99%? How about for all the little Willard grandkids? Or ask his wife since she's taking an active role in the campaign. Does she do the shopping and cooking in their many houses, or just approve the menus the executive chefs will be preparing?

    If only EVERYone could see Romney for the fraud and sham he really is.

    But: I can just HEAR the "echo" of the bubblehead protected rightwingers, immediately spouting, "Oh, yeah, naturally the ROOSKIES would hate Romney and love Obama!"

    I swear, that the Republicans could jam a bill through the House decreeing that women must eat their own feces, and that night on Fox we'd see some dimwit woman wearing a silly hat with teabags dangling from it, saying, "Yup yup yup, gonna vote me in some more REEpublicans, jes like Sean Hammity tells me to!"

    I'm just about to give UP on even following politics, anymore, its gotten that bad.

    When a Supreme Court "judge" actually says OUT LOUD, "Do you expect me to read the entire healthcare Act I'm supposed to rule on? What do I look like, a frickin' Constitutional SCHOLAR or something? I've got an important GOLF GAME tomorrow, for crissakes," it indicates the end of the world is nigh.

    Well, Pravda, SOME people think Palin would be better than Romney. What's Pravda's take on Palin?

    Here's "If only Sarah Palin had run..." a special to CNN from T. Stanley, a historian at Oxford University.

      Pravda's take on Palin:

      I have already called Sarah Palin a pith-headed bimbo from the back of beyond, in this column. I shall now go one step further. By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country's history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral.

      If Sarah Palin is not some kind of a massive political joke in the USA, wheeled out to liven up the political scene from time to time with nonsensical and pastiche (one hopes) displays of sheer and utter ignorance, then it is worrying. It is even more so if anyone other than a manic depressive suffering from a chronic lack of lithium takes this...female...seriously.

      Hockey Mum Sarah ex-Governess of Alaska is famous for her shrill shrieking style, displaying a pitifully shallow persona which one hopes is stage-managed to give the rest of the world a good chuckle at the Americans' ability and unique quality to make fun of themselves, a real-life female version of Homer Simpson-cum-Belching Barney at Mo's, giving us ever-more hilarious soundbites as she sets herself up as the dumbest woman on Earth.

      Then there was - Sarah Palin: A Worthless Bag of Hair

      http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/14-09-2008/106355-sarahworthless-0/

      She is so rife with idiocy, devotion to “normalized violence,” and a river of venom that froths and seethes under her guise of “Christian compassion” that it is virtually impossible to pinpoint her most loathsome and dangerous trait. However, her zealous adherence to Western culture’s paradigm of dominionism, meaning dominion over the environment and nonhuman animals, demonstrates and encapsulates most of Sarah Palin’s myriad sociopathic tendencies that readily qualify her to occupy the Oval Office.

      And you must remember recently Pravda called her a traitor. Well, I guess you get the picture.

    Palin – the Devil in disguise
    12.09.2008


    The candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States of America, whose experience in small town politics, mothers´day dos and the local hockey club is her claim to fame, threatened to open the gates of Hell by attacking Russia in the event of another invasion of Georgia in a televised interview on ABC (shown today). One question for this self-opinionated upstart: Do you know what a nuclear holocaust is?

    Sarah Palin, Mrs. Nobody know-it-all shreiking cow from Alaska, the joke of American politics, plied with a couple of vodkas before letting rip in front of incredulous audiences while McCain coos in the background, cuts a ridiculous figure as she strives to be taken seriously.

    How can anyone whose husband is a member of the Alaska Independence Party and who is running for the Vice Presidency of the Union be taken seriously? How indeed can the Republican Party be taken seriously for not vetting this female, or have they not yet discovered the skeletons in her closet? We have.

    So Sarah Palin, Mrs. Hockey Mom housewife-cum-small-town gossip merchant and cheap little guttersnipe, suppose you shut up and allowed real politicians and diplomats to do their work? Threatening Russia with a war is perhaps the most irresponsible thing anyone could do at this moment in time. Have you any idea what a nuclear holocaust is? Have you any notion of the power of Russia’s armed forces? Did you know that Russia has enough missiles to destroy any target anywhere on Earth in seconds?

    That Mitt (Willard) Romney seems to be the best they've got says a LOT about the state of the Republican Party of today.

    Yes! None of today's GOP understands the value of Diplomacy, Detante nor common sense in dealing with our own country, let alone the world community. That's the difference between a true Statesman (President Obama) and a mere politician (any of em, all of em that have been paraded in front of us since Shrub/Darth Mc Cain/Screechy Fromm to Man on Dog and Dog on Car.

    How come Pravda has Romney nailed, Palin uncovered, and all the rest and the media that Sarah and Sanctimonious call "liberal" calls out none of them for their outright lies. If it weren't for MSNBC, no one would know the truth that wasn't web savvy (and a visitor here!!)
    I have never seen such a collection of pompous liars anywhere. And for what? Do they really think that lying about this President, lying about their intentions (no, the GOP LOVES women and our black friends and legal immigrants...we really love them! And we love our seniors who worked all their lives for health benefits and a pension that we will now tax or take away. We love them! And children? Why do you think we fight so hard for every fertilized egg to be born? it's a liberal lie that we want to turn education over to the church, I mean The Church, and that we hate programs to feed poor kids. A big lie. We love kids.) Uh huh, and Sarah Palin is a good mother.

    This will only help Romney in teabagger circles. On Tuesday, I "debated" a drunken teabagger buffoon in a tri corner hat - I kid you not - who still seemed to think that Russia was communist. When I called her a buffoon for not knowing that communism ended in Russia 20+ years ago she quickly pivoted to Russia being "socialist." This inebriated cow would cheer Romney for taking it to those commie Russians.
