The republicans are still trying to figure out what hit them. The party which believes that pregnancies don't come from "legitimate" rape, that medical science has advanced to the point that a mother's health exception to abortion laws is now unnecessary, that global warming is a myth, the president was born in Kenya, well, you get the point, is now dealing with the sudden, wholly unexpected loss at the polls last week.
OK, you might not have been quite as shocked had you watched the polls, but, hey, who can believe that lefty stuff? The deluded ones at the top of the ticket spoke today. The reason for their loss?
Romney: "Its hard to run against someone who gives people stuff." Seriously, he said that.
I used to think that the Mittster wasn't a aloof and detached as he seems. But after a week of reflection that's the best he can do?
Ryan: We didn't think that many people from the urban areas would be voting.
I think that the real Romney, if there is such a beast, is the one from the "47%" presentation. His disdain, his total disgust for half of us is truly remarkable. I think is was David Brooks that dubbed him, "Thurston Howell Romney."
The power of self-delusion is alive and well.

Oh, hypocrisy, thy name is Mitt (or Willard, or whatever)
Now guess who's guilty of sending our good jobs to China? you got it, its not the vulture capitalist, its that scary black president who won't show us his real birth certificate, Barrack Obama!
From the Washington Post: But in Romney-world, this became an attack on the president auto rescue because according to the campaign, Chrysler was planning to move all of their U.S. production of Jeeps to China. Romney: "I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China."
After Mitt showed the world how to save Chrysler and GM, he doesn't like Obama trying to take the credit. I am reminded of the George Washington and the cherry tree story, and wonder if the US is really ready for a president who is so truth challenged.
At Bain Capital, he took over companies, heavily leveraged them with debt, eliminated pensions and sent jobs out of the country. All to make obscene amounts of money for himself and his investors. He invests his money overseas, uses the Morman church for tax credits, pays about 13% in federal taxes and slurs those who pay even less, tho he'd like to be paying 20% less.
And after he's shown his disdain for the 47% who pay no federal taxes (tho they still are levied payroll taxes) and refuses to release more than 2 years of his returns, he still expects, and will receive, about 45% of the vote of those who show up. What a country!
