Ann Romney and her fish-parakeet shirt are very disappointed in you, America.

"That was tough," Ann Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, said about losing the 2012 president election. "It brings up all those feelings that you had. And I believe this, I really believe this, you know, we lost but truly the country lost by not having Mitt as president."

"He was governor of Massachusetts. I'm not surprised to see that. I think there's a lot of lingering feeling across the country, sort of a sadness I see. I run across people all the time and they're still upset about the election, they're still really sad so I can understand that. But no, we're not up for doing this again," Romney said about a potential third run for president.

I just hope she is sincere about not running again.

Yeah, I'll feel bad for them when they decide to suffer with extreme tooth pain for a few extra days cause they cannot afford the dentist. Til then, they can suck on Jesus' big fat black dick.

If we won't be nice to them,
they will take away our government.

Or did they do that already?

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

The govt that subsidizes their billion dollar business? Or the govt that bails them out? Or the govt that hires men and give them guns and permission to use them? That govt?

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

The government that cuts social security checks, and pays
for public schools and universities, and subsidizes health care,
and accepts your votes.

There is still a little left for them to take. Some crumbs.

No, there's quite a bit left to confiscate. That's the worry.

I saw the comment had no comment in the comment space, so I came to check the usericon.

I was expecting the nodding Jay icon, but the mouse works too.

Solidarity forever....*keeps whistling*

They didn't say the rich were merely persecuted, they compared it to the Nazi genocide.

“Capitalists, if you think that you can play footsie with these people, you are wrong. They will come for you and drag you into the streets and kill you. They will do it. They’re not messing around. Those in the media – and I am included in this – they will drag us out into the streets and kill us. If you’re wealthy, they will kill you for what you have. You cannot tolerate this kind of stuff. You certainly do not encourage it.”

Holy shit.

The rich always do things in a big way. ;)

Never steal anything small!

(Favorite Cagney movie, that one.)

Jesus, people hate the rich. It's funny, though, because they keep voting for them.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

Show me where we can vote for a poor one!

Actually, that's probably not entirely fair. Some
politicians do come from the rough and tumble.
Clinton was trailer trash, no? Speaker Boehner's
father was a barkeep? The problem, I suppose,
is that they are easily seduced by the wealthy
when they do come to power. And if you don't
play ball, I suppose you can find yourself out of the game.

The rich won't let anyone run unless they support the policies of the rich, so often only the rich "get it."
