So many questions...no answers except, "Trust me". Mitt, you know what? I don't trust you. You've changed your policies so many times, and you stray so far from the truth in your statements about policies you once embraced, even in the very recent past, during this very election, that I can't keep up. Are your pants on fire, yet?

Those who say "trust me" seem rarely to be trustworthy and also, when accustomed to the sort of deference CEOs expect, are often quick to say, "if you have to ask the price, you can't affort it." I seriously doubt we can afford anything the GOP is proposing, but we have to keep asking ... once the money is all in the hands of a few (see privatization of social security, outsourcing of jobs, 3 trillion more to the military industrial complex, health insurance companies hijacking billions for 'administrative costs' instead of providing actual helth care under 'legal' mandate plans) the right to object will follow as the 'originalists' go back to defining a citizen as a property holder and fewer and fewer people will have the vote ... not a conspiracy theory, just what those folks consider the natural order of the universe: dictatorship re-labled "leadership" ... unless all of us who think vote, this time, and every time they try to buy/lie their way to election.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt we can afford anything the GOP is proposing...
DeleteAmen to that, Marthe.
I don't know if God intervenes in elections, but I surely am praying for a particular outcome in this one.
I thought Joe Biden's most effective line was where he looked straight into the camera and said (re R/R on Medicare...etc!) "Trust your instincts".
ReplyDeletei.e., do NOT trust Romney/Ryan!
One of my favorite moments in the debate was when Ryan started in on the ineffectiveness of the stimulus, and Biden told the story of Ryan's letters asking for stimulus money for Wisconsin to - gasp! - create jobs. Gotcha!
DeleteBiden's vast knowledge and experience exposed Ryan as the intellectual midget that he is.
Actually, this "cyber poster" is a wonderful piece of work.
ReplyDeleteLapin, I agree. The poster says it all, or reveals all that is missing in the specifics of Mitt's plans for our future.
