No, Seriously, He Thought You Were Hatched
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.
In one way Mitt bears a remarkable resemblance to George W. Both men are reasonably intelligent, but both men are shallow. In another way they are dissimilar: George W. was ofter insensitive to or ignorant of the plight of less fortunate folks, but, on the whole, not mean spirited; Mitt is mean spirited, and he does not give a damn for those who lack the good sense to have a rich daddy.
1Excuse me everyone while I have a rant . . . .
I can’t stand the way Romney lies.
I can’t stand the way he panders.
I can’t stand the way he thinks most people are beneath him.
I can’t stand the way he smirks.
I can’t stand his wife.
I can’t stand the thought that he’s bullied people his whole life.
I can’t stand that his father is probably spinning in his grave.
I can’t stand the way he dog whistles hate to his base.
I can’t stand the way he can’t brook opposition.
I can’t stand that he has no emotions that connect to others pain.
I can’t stand that he thinks being president is just another acquisition.
I can’t stand that he picked a sociopath as his vp.
I can’t stand the fact that I know he’s done some real belly crawling, sewer rat things that we’d see in his tax returns.
I can’t stand the fact that the GOP, a once noble party, has come to this . . . .picking Willard as their candidate.
I can’t stand the way it is a beautiful day out and I’m ranting about this insufferable, heinous man.
Sniff.
Rant over.
2This idiot has been running for POTUS for at least the last 10 years. You’d think he’s know how to communicate with people by now. With his performance so far this year, I’m stunned that he has any supporters at all. He’s a walking, talking train wreck of a candidate who needs to STFU (excuse me, momma) before he causes another international incident. And to hire the neo-con crapheads who created the last war for profit proves he’s totally out of his mind.
3@angela, may I join you in your rant? One does have to look at the choices the Republicans had, particularly after they kicked the only one who had a lick of sense to the curb early on, Jon Huntsman.
4This will be news to a lot of parents. Good thing mine are dead; they wouldn’t like being compared to chickens.
5Mittens does not want to admit that his father was an immigrant from Mexico who was given many government handouts to be able to survive in the new country or that his grandfather had 12 wives. What do you think “they” would say if Pres. Obama’s Kenyan grandfather had 12 wives?
6Outstanding rant, Angela! Amen!
