My hope is that RoMoney is bullied by the 47% on election day the same way he bullied the student at his prestigious private school he attended.

Go to Greg Palast's website and read about the many ways the Republicans are using to steal the election.

In 2008 almost 5 million voters were disenfranchised using any of the 9 ways Palast describes to throw away people's ballots.

I would not be so sure or cocky that Obama is going to win unless we do something about these Republicans and their dirty illegal tricks.

Mitt Romney is the literal embodiment of the psychological concept of projection. Everything he alleges about the supposed 47% of the American public who don't pay taxes is in fact true about himself, right down to the sense of entitlement and the failure to take responsibility for his own life. Yes indeed, I would dearly love to see this shallow, self-righteous man take responsibility for his own life with out his inherited wealth and privilege, with out corporate welfare, and without recourse to a system of predatory capitalism thar does not burden him with any sort of morality or common decency.

What is most disturbing about the Romney presidential campaign is what a perfect opponent he is for President Obama. Romney is such a repulsive individual that Obama is not being held accountable for fis omissions, out right lies, and failiings. He looks so good compared to Romney that no one is challenging his administrations ' attempt to reinstate the clearly unconstitutiona l indefinite detention act, or his unlawful declaration of Bradley Manning's guilt, or his collusion with and failure to prosecute wall Street banksters, or his assumption of presidential power to assassinate any individual in the world without due process, even US citizens, and even US citizens who are children; and that is justis the tip of the iceberg. Funny how things work
out;;

I hope that the states conducting the Voter Suppression realize that to take away one's voting rights by purging them from the Rolls can lead to rioting in the streets of their towns. Voting is our constitutional right and if these liars and cheaters want to deny our Votes with their suppression and cheating machines, I think they should re-think that nasty action. People are fed up with stolen elections and tossed out ballots.

If there is a real Romney, the 47% comment reflects that. It is pure Ayn Rand. The elites have jumped on that band wagon and have sold it to far too many. Those of us who are struggling and that is more than the 47% are looking for answers. Not too long ago, in ideology appeared and gained mass support by blaming a religious group for our troubles. That did not turn out so well. The comment will probably sink a leaky ship and well it should. However, just eliminating the Romney’s will not fix the mess albeit that Romney and his ilk will wreck a fragile nation much quicker. Romney is too easy to spot unlike the Reagan’s who won the support of the people and allowed the nation to be gutted by his friends and perhaps we will never know if Reagan ever got it. The 47% are growing fast as we continue to transfer the nation’s wealth to the few. That fact will not be fixed by a forced redistribution of wealth but it can be fixed by an appropriate monetary policy as existed from 1942-1952. Study that record and consider what happened.

Do not gloat while prematurely counting your chickens. Instead, use Romney's riffraff riff in key Senate & Congressional & even state & local elections. Dems should use it in Mass & be damn glad there is no video of Obama while privately promising to protect monstrous banksters from the "pitchfork" mob, meaning US. Nothing Mitt could muff would be worse than Barry's Nixon Pardon for the 0.001% CRIMINAL CLASS. Although personally killing any Public Option comes close.

Oh Mittster, what a gift you have left us!

Romney's comments were true, if inartful. I much prefer Romney's comments to Obama's comment to Medvedev earlier this year that he would have more "flexibility" in selling out America's and its allies' security interests after his "last election."

I certainly hope these continuing reports death of the Romney campaign are not premature and will not in retrospect amount to a gigantic "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline in advance. Just how confident are you?

Mr. Chait, I've been reading you for years and I've never been furious with your opinions. I am this time. Romney's description of half of America's citizens to the wealthy is exactly what rich folks say and want us to think about our neighbors and friends. It's an age old conversation. What I'm most furious about is your comparison between the 47% comments and Obama fantasy about imposing Shaira law. Obama is not a Muslim and the only Sharia law being imposed on Americans are the copy laws proposed by Republicans. The religious right in this country seeks to impose Sharia style law in this country with the Christian brand and if you don't know that by now then you have confirmed that you just might not be paying attention.

Of course this is the real Romney. Rich and shallow---what a combination.

This is not the problem. The problem lies within our inablility to find a pathway to recreate America as Intended. Most of the liberal academics have failed us. Most of the progessive polical figures have failed us. The supposed moral underpinnings of our society, the Church, has failed us. It is now up to us to restore our nation. Many of us had hopes that Obama could become the leader that we need. Not so far. If we want a functioning economy and all that it brings, it is imperative that we study the empirical record. It worked via policy from 1942-1952 and the reasons will be obvious once you study this objectively. It means smaller government, less debt and more prosperity for all.
