Romney's 'gifts' gaffe (ELECTION OVER - LIBERAL SWINE ATTACKS CONTINUE)
Chicago Tribune ^ | November 18, 2012 | Clarence the Crosseyed Page cpage@tribune.com

Mitt Romney finally has it figured out. He knows why he lost. Guess what? It was all President Barack Obama's fault.

Of course, that's not exactly the way Romney puts it. He puts it in a way that sounds even more silly than that. Or perhaps, depending on your worldview, more tragic.

In a 20-minute afternoon conference call with his major donors and fundraisers eight days after Election Day, Romney blamed his loss on Obama's showering groups with what Romney called "gifts" to various groups of voters, "especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people."

Zounds! As we used to say back in the day when most people received their news on newsprint, stop the presses!

They are not backing off Romney because they all know in their souless hearts that the election was stolen through election fraud.

We need to get used to this (which is different than putting up with it or accepting it). The left has now institutionalized the destruction of character and reputation of anyone who crosses their path. I saw it with Reagan and Dan Qualye, but since the ritualized gang rape of Sarah Palin, the left has been completely emboldened to carry on the attack past the death of the enemy and well into the historical memory of the person. I wish I could say good humor and turning the other cheek is sufficient in these circumstances. If nothing else, I now have a clear understanding how leftists can so gleefully participate in the gulags, the camp ovens, the thousand flowers blooming, and the killing fields. Given a chance, it’s what they’d do to us.

You’re right.

Socialism sort of works on a VERY small scale (e.g. a family unit), or a small community of HONEST/UNSELFISH individuals where ACCOUNTABILITY IS HIGH and VISIBLE.

But beyond a certain size of human groups, dishonesty and selfishness creeps in because people view the gov’t as having deep pockets. And cheaters can go unnoticed.

Socialism also can almost work in monoracial/monocultural countries, like Japan where people aren’t fighting against each other in tribal strife like we have here. People in Japan think of themselves as “family - because we’re all the same race/culture.” Well, Japan isn’t completely socialist, but has a Euro-style health care plan that works because people are ingrained to be humble and not to take too much from others.

He’s mad cause he was not in bammy’s position to buy votes.

Did he catch wind of the systematic voter fraud? Or is this too real to mention?

It is not a gaffe, it is the truth. Too bad that offends the takers.

Romney was once again correct. I’m really proud of his campaign and him as a candidate. I’m only ashamed that intelligent Americans are outnumbered by idiotic Americans, and those same idiotic Americans are now surprised when they see their jobs going up in smoke. Hey America, you voted for President Token, you get the consequences of that stupidity. Hope your Obama bucks were worth it.
