“Advisers to President Barack Obama are scripting a Democratic National Convention featuring several Republicans in a prime-time appeal to independents — and planning a blistering portrayal of Mitt Romney as a heartless aristocrat who “would devastate the American middle class,” Democratic sources tell POLITICO.
“According to convention planning documents, the three-night convention in Charlotte, N.C., early next month will seek to ‘[e]xpose Mitt Romney as someone who doesn’t understand middle class challenges” while also burnishing “the President’s image as someone whose life story is about fighting for middle class Americans and those working to get into the middle class.’”

Good, Carvilize Romney and his increasingly dishonest cabal “Liars, Liars.” I’m shocked that politics are dirty, Romney’s lackey’s whine when it’s suggested that bad things might actually happen to real people when they’re fired, layed off, down-sized, victims of private equity profit maximization with concomitant product minimization. Romney’s outrage is an outrage, for what the hell does he thinks happens to people who lose their jobs so a group of friends who borrowed heavily to buy a company just to let it die; cash out, and screw the employees and their twenty years of loyalty. No pensions now; health insurance gone, the bills pile up.
News Flash, this just in. People die when really ill and no health insurance, Mitt. But let them eat cake; is that your health care alternative?
The myth is that Democrats disproportionately dip from the entitlement stream. The reality is that the blue states subsidize the red states. California’s budget crisis would be done tomorrow if Californians were able to get a dollar-for-dollar return on their federal income taxes; presently we get only 75% of what we pay while a whole bevy of states like Alabama are in the 110% – 125% range.
I’m perfectly happy with highlighting these discrepancies because these are states who are marching toward the 19th century and I really don’t want to have anything to do with them, much less subsidizing their high state of political, emotional, societal, and civic dysfunction. I’m sorry we kept them in the Union. Perhaps it’s time for them to go their own way.
