Y’all, he’s just clueless.  Seriously.  Clueless.  No, wait, not seriously.  Goofyily – that’s the word I need to create.  Goofyily clueless.

In 2004, then-Masachusetts Governor Mitt Romney succumbed to meet with a group of gay and lesbian parents who were trying to get him to follow that state’s supreme court ruling to enable same-sex couples to marry. Romney reportedly was unmoved after hearing their stories and why they needed the law to allow them to marry — to protect their families.

“I didn’t know you had families,” Romney told the LGBT parents in the group, standing in his office, according to an extensive article in Boston Spirit …

He also did not know that lesbians really do have toaster ovens or that gay men own sporting equipment.

Thanks to MB for the heads up.

My longtime adored friend, TexasEllen, has a grandson with CHARGE syndrome.  Daniel is a breathtakingly gorgeous child and was Ellen’s first grandchild.

This is serious stuff, but I thought you’d like to know one of our favorite customer’s thoughts on Mitt Romney and her grandson.  Elizabeth Moon, also a frequent commenter here, used her website to let Ellen rant.  I want to share it with you.

This is an important election.  For me, for Daniel, and for all of us together.

PRESS RELEASE:

In the early hours of Monday, September 10, 57 year old Junior Janochek, Jr. of Rosenberg, Texas, was walking home from Floozy Flo’s Bar and Buffalo Wings with a blood alcohol level of .9, meaning there was more alcohol in his blood than blood.

Junior stumbled on the sidewalk and fell on his rear end, bruising it badly.  He sat there on the sidewalk for a while and then made his way to St. Mary’s Charity Hospital Emergency Room.  He waited for assistance for a full hour before he decided to show the other people in the emergency waiting room his bruises to see if they thought he needed medical attention.

Once his pants were around his ankles and he was all leaned over pointing at his naked rump, the police were summoned.  Also in the emergency waiting room was Mrs. Verdelia Trunket with her 7 year old grandson, Dude “Bless His Heart He Ain’t Real Bright” Trunket, who had stuffed a piece of popcorn up his nose that she couldn’t get out.

Fearful that she and Dude would lose their place in line if Junior got to go next, she pulled a large caliber weapon out of her purse and attempted to fill Junior’s rump with more lead than a sinker factory.  Verdelia is of the “License, I don’t need no stinkin’ license” school of thinking so she did not take proper aim before pulling the trigger because she wanted the deed done before the police arrived.  She, of course, missed, taking out an armchair, a potted plant that needed killing, two empty oxygen tanks, the recently replaced sliding glass doors to the hospital and Nurse Haley’s favorite trauma cart.

In the ensuing shock of it all, Verdelia’s grandson Dude snorted up the piece of popcorn, two green peas, a pink pencil eraser, and a hair barrette.  We told you he is not very bright.

The police arrived and made a determination that Verdelia should not be messed with.  Also, due to that fact that all 26 of the other people in the waiting room claimed to be in the one toilet bathroom when the incident occurred, they felt that it would just be best to send her home with instructions that she should not shoot people or leave Dude unattended with foodstuff.

They attempted to arrest Junior, who wailed that he was an injured victim and repeatedly tried to show Officer Becky Crowley his injury.   When she said, “Bite me,” Junior took her at her word and resulting in her having to be tested for rabies, several STDs and Hanta Virus.  Junior went to jail.

Immediately following this whole situation, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney released a statement saying, “None of this horror would have happened, including the death of an innocent potted plant, if Barack Obama would not have built the sidewalk so far from Junior’s butt.”

“You can’t argue with that,” commented local newspaper editor T. R. “Hashtag” Wilson.  “Well, maybe you could but it wouldn’t do any good.”

Thanks to my seatmate at the Democratic National Convention, Vickie Vogel.

After 9-11, did Democrats stand up and blame George Bush – even when we should have?  No, we did not.  We loved our country more than we hated George Bush – even when he needed hating.  And, by the way, he stole the damn presidency.

Mitt Romney’s attempt this morning to poison the well for the President of the United States of damn America is not only classless, but an actual danger to our country.

Mitt Romney reiterated on Wednesday his claim that President Obama’s “first response” to an attack on a diplomatic compound in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens was to “sympathize” with Stevens’s attackers.

In a press conference delivered minutes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the attacks, Romney expanded on his initial statement, accusing Obama of apologizing to Islamic militants.

Mitt Romney, you are an unmitigated galling classless son of a motherless goat.

President Obama said, “Make no mistake, justice will be done.”  This comes from the man who took out Osama bin Laden when Mitt Romney’s political party kowtowed to him.  President Obama gets even.  Romney’s party gets lazy.  Our ambassador was killed.  Try to show a little class.

Up until this morning, I just thought Romney was a clown.  Now I know he’s a dangerous clown.

We gotta beat this guy.  Seriously.

Barbara in Houston tells me that she saves up the loose change she finds in her couch cushions and the bottom of the washing machine and sends it to Edward Jones to invest for her.  So, they send her information.

Like this.

Here’s the killer point:

Y’all, I don’t want to hear it anymore.  Print that sucker out and give it to everyone who says that Democrats can’t handle the economy.  Just give us a Democratic house and we’ll put this country back on track after they wrecked it.

Thanks to Barbara in Houston for the heads up.
