I'm disappointed in Democrats, and you should be too!
It's been almost 2 weeks since the mid-term elections, and I've taken that time to figure out what could have possibly happened and who dissapointed me the most.
What...

James Lipton, host of the Actor’s Studio, has Mitt Romney pegged to a tee. In the video below, James gives Mitt advice on how to Act Human. Way too funny. And Willie Geist, host of Way Too Early on MSNBC looks good too.
What is the single most important trait in a President? Integrity. How can you trust a person who seems to have none? There are a few things about Mitt Romney that give me pause, but this is the biggest.
Mitt Romney is not like us. Mitt appears to have no social skills at all. He doesn’t seem to be able to relate to normal people, the things he says seem to come from a different decade. Marvelous budget? Who says stuff like that? It’s like listening to dialogue from movies made in the 1940’s and 1950’s. What planet has he been living on for the past 50 years that would cause him to use expressions so old, so out of touch?
Mitt Romney doesn’t care about the 99%. The statements that Mitt has made on the campaign trail make it clear how he would govern this country if elected. “Corporations are people too.” “Planned Parenthood, I’m going to do away with that.” “I like firing people who provide me services.” There have been dozens of similar statements, but just those three statements say it all. Mitt’s plan is to continue, if not escalate the current Republican Tea Party philosophy of giving to the top 1% and getting rid of the social safety net that has protected the 99% for decades. You think the middle class is disappearing now? If Mitt Romney gets elected, you better grab a life boat.
Reed Krakoff $990 Designer Shirt
Mitt and Anne Romney give off a sense of entitlement. I wonder if they understand what type of image you should be putting forth to the electorate while running for the Presidency. Their actions are so entitled. Building a mega mansion in La Jolla, with a car elevator, during a Presidential campaign? Anne Romney wearing a $990 designer shirt (Reed Krakoff) for a television interview?
Mitt Romney, the flip-flopper. Have you ever seen a person that has been on so many sides of so many issues? Don’t worry, you’ll see enough video during the upcoming campaign that it will make your stomach turn. Mitt, have you ever heard of video tape?
Mitt Romney lies, all the time. He stands up in front of hundreds, maybe thousands of people and just lies. His campaign staff must cringe every time he steps on stage. You can’t spin some of this stuff, it gives the Obama campaign hours and hours of video to use against him. The thing that gives me pause is that he lies with a straight face. If we can’t trust our own President, how will world leaders trust him? Will he lie with a straight face to them? Where is this man’s conscience? I have written posts about Mitt’s lying before, Rachel Maddow and Jennifer Granholm have documented many of his lies very well:
Mitt Romney is a man without conscience or integrity. Now this week we discover that Mitt Romney was a bully in high school. I must say, I’m not really surprised, he gives off that air of superiority, like he’s better than the rest of us and the rules don’t apply to him. He doesn’t seem to have any compassion for other people. Even when confronted with his heinous past behavior, what does he do? He laughs. He can’t remember the incident, but how is it he can remember that he didn’t think the “fellow” (there’s that antiquated language again) was a homosexual. With 5 witnesses coming forward, among them an attorney, a dentist and a school Principal, still haunted by the incident, why doesn’t Mitt have the integrity to own up and take responsibility for his actions?
Even worse, if he really doesn’t remember, what does that say about him? Who could forget an incident that has tortured 6 other people for their whole lives? Enough said.
At least this theory from MSNBC’s resident Republican on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough gives me some comfort: Crazy Never Wins. This once, I hope Joe is right.
Tonight Jennifer Granholm got fed up with Mitt Romney’s pandering, flip-flopping and lies. As usual, Mitt is taking credit for something he had nothing to do with and not giving President Obama the credit he deserves for saving the automobile industry in this country and saving millions of jobs.
If Mitt had had his way back then and we had let the auto industry fail, can you imagine what the unemployment rate would be now? Hey Mitt, you think an 8.1% unemployment rate is bad? You think it should be 7%? What would it be if you had been in charge and let the auto industry fail? Maybe 9%? Maybe 10%? Maybe 11%?
Get a grip Mitt!
Also, watch the new video put out today by the White House.
If it isn’t enough that Anne Romney received an early birthday present from Hillary Rosen, this latest statement makes me gag.
It’s our turn now? Start packing? Really? How arrogant are these two?
The Presidents policies? Please, give me a break. We haven’t had the chance to try Obama’s policies because of the obstructionist Republicans in Congress. The policies we’re still working with are mostly Bush’s policies.
Hey Peggy, you think it was a sacrifice for Anne Romney to stay home instead of going to work? Nothing Anne Romney does has much sacrifice involved.
Do you think that Anne Romney had the same stay at home mom experience as the one I would have had, had I not been forced to work? Did Anne Romney’s stay at home experience include all of these things:
Not being able to afford a baby sitter so you can get away for an hour or two?
Doing laundry?
Housework?
Grocery Shopping
Cooking breakfast, fixing lunches and cooking dinner?
Doing dishes?
Paying bills?
Bathing children?
Putting children to bed at night?
Now imagine working 8 hours a day and still having to complete all those tasks. That’s what us working mothers go through everyday, if you ask me that is a far greater sacrifice than staying home with your housekeeper, nanny, cook and chauffeur.
Like I said yesterday and again today. Any experience that Anne Romney and I share are never going to be the same. I know she has had health struggles, god bless her for getting through it, but if I had had the same health struggles, do you think our experiences would have been the same? Do you think she had to stress and worry about doctor bills, hospital bills, insurance deductibles and whether or not to pay your rent or buy your prescriptions? I don’t think so.
The original point that Hillary Rosen was trying to make is that Anne Romney has not had any of the struggles of the 99% and should not be referenced by her husband in stump speeches as “knowing what the American women care about.”
And FYI Peggy, the Democrats did not start the War on Women, the Republicans started it with the legislation they have put forth all over this country in every state with a Republican Governor and in the US House of Representatives.
The Democrats did not name it the War on Women, American women named it the War on Women. We are driving this train, not the Democratic Party.
