Today in Mitt Romney Is Still Terrible

Mitt Romney lost fair and square while he is terrible and the guidelines are garbage. But he's other ideas about why he lost the election to Leader Obama, and—spoiler alert!—they don't include his being terrible and hawking garbage guidelines:Mitt Romney on Wednesday credited his defeat simply as to the he known as large policy "gifts" the leader had presented on loyal Democratic constituencies, including youthful voters, African-People in america and Hispanics.Inside a business call with fund-raisers and contributor to his campaign, Mr. Romney stated Wednesday mid-day the leader had adopted the "old playbook" of utilizing specific initiatives to woo specific interest groups — "particularly the African-American community, the Hispanic community and youthful people.""In every situation, these were very generous with what they gave to individuals groups," Mr. Romney stated..."According to the youthful people, for example, a forgiveness of school loan interest would be a large gift," Mr. Romney stated. "Free birth control methods were very large with youthful, college-aged women. After which, finally, Obamacare also designed a difference on their behalf, because you may already know, anybody now 26 years old and more youthful was now likely to be a part of their parents' plan, which would be a large gift to youthful people."..."Imaginable for an individual making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 annually, being told you are now getting free healthcare, particularly without having it, getting free healthcare worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity — I am talking about, this really is huge," Mr. Romney stated. "Likewise with Hispanic voters, free healthcare would be a large plus. But additionally in relation to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for kids of illegals, the so-known as Dream Act kids, would be a huge plus for your voting group."None of the, obviously, is remotely surprising in the guy who thinks people aren't titled to food, and whose running mate was accusing "urban voters" for his or her loss on friday. They are highly titled, titanically fortunate, and voraciously greedy bigots who wouldn't accept personal accountability whether it were drizzled with gold and hands-shipped by Jesus.Plus they manifestly won't learn. This sneering contempt for those who don't share their rights is the reason why they're losing. And rather than walking to reflect on whether maybe "Bootstraps, nonwinners!" is not a fantastic strategy, they obdurately reject empathy and bridge-building in support of doubling lower on rank hostility and scapegoating.It is simply the worst couple of sour grapes being smashed into bitter red-colored whine.And it might be awful to look at, if perhaps I were not so pleased through the proof of their growing lack of ability to effectively hide the private cruelty that underwrites their reprehensible guidelines.Possibly Reagan's rosy-cheeked mask of affability has finally and forever fallen in the ugly face of contemporary conservatism.
