Dang, at some point you gotta start feeling sorry for this guy.

I ain’t there yet.

I’m still in the giggling stage of Good Grief!

So Romney gets all freaked out when Obama says that none of us is an island.  Romney goes out and finds some dude to cut a commercial saying this he and his Daddy built their business all by themselves with no help from the govment.  You can see it here.

Come to find out, this same dude in the commercial is practically a welfare boss and a giant hypocrite.

1) In 1999, the company received $800,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds “to set up a second manufacturing plant and purchase equipment to produce high definition television broadcasting equipment.”

2) In the 1980s , Gilchrist Metal Fabricating obtained a U.S. Small Business Administration loan of around $500,000

3) Gilchrist Metal Fabricating has received several sub-contracts.  Last year, a sub-contract from the U.S. Navy  totaling about $83,000 and a smaller, $5,600 from the Coast Guard

And how does Mr. Gilchrist explain this?

“I’m not going to turn a blind eye because the money came from the government,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m getting some of my tax money back.

“I’m not stupid, I’m not going to say ‘no.’ Shame on me if I didn’t use what’s available,” he said. “As a matter of fact, right now, I’m driving on a road.

Getting some of your tax money back, huh?  How do you know that wasn’t Thelma’s money you were getting, dude?  Thelma works hard for her money.  Being the Texas Chainsaw Manicurist is not an easy job.  Thelma says she didn’t get no military sub contract or government loan, although she seriously considered opening a tattoo parlor near a naval base.

Thelma may be a lot of things but Thelma votes Democratic because she ain’t no hypocrite.  By the way, she also drives on public roads to get to work.  Roads that she did not build with her own two hands.  Road work is hell on manicures, babe.

Thanks to mb for the heads up.
