Mitt Romney Delivered To The GOP Last Night

Romney delivered his “Earth is flat” message in the form of an acceptance speech to a crowd of shallow, narrow-minded, Kool-Aid drinking followers.

How nice and fine it was to listen to his “I was just a normal guy growin’ up” introduction. And, how he worked hard at shuttering United States companies in order for his investors to make billions of dollars on deductible interest off the debt created, which allowed these moneylenders to take it all to tax haven locations, instead of keeping it in the United States building America. No—building America was not their intention; it was only an afterthought.

If Trickie Mittie was living hundreds of years ago, he would be proclaiming that the Earth was flat, and not round; nor was it revolving around the Sun but just the opposite.

We listened to his most important part of the acceptance speech when he said that his first order was to help families instead of climate change. Hey Mittens, tell that to farmers who are suffering from drought conditions. Or, areas around the country where drinking water is becoming scarcer due to diminishing winter snow melt. Or, the coming grocery prices heading upwards because of food stock shortages.

What we learned about Mitt Romney is that he is one dimensional. He is a flat Earther-type alive and well and now heading the GOP. He just cannot think multi-dimensional. He appears to believe that he cannot do more than one thing at a time.

He cannot help families while doing something useful to help curb climate change.

Throughout his speech, and since we have been observing Mittens, one can agree that he is an angry person. He internalizes his anger, and tends to say things that he doesn’t agree with. This can be observed when he stops talking—pauses—then purses his lips together slightly filling the top lip with air allowing it to protrude a bit more than the lower lip. Such body language might indicate that he is disagreeing with what he is saying. This validates his consistent flip-flopping over the years on serious issues.

One can say that he is untrustworthy to tell the American people exactly his heartfelt beliefs. Here are some notations about this behavior.

Barely noticeable lip-clenching may signal unvoiced opposition or disagreement.

Lip-compression is an unconscious sign controlled by the limbic system acting through emotionally responsive paleocircuits of the facial nerve (cranial VII). See also Lip-Pout; Lip-Purse.

This from Changingminds.org, “Lips which are pulled inwards from all directions are an indication of tension and may indicate frustration or disapproval.

Pursed lips are a classic sign of anger, including when it is suppressed. It is effectively holding the mouth shut to prevent the person saying what they feel like saying. This may also be an indication of lying or withholding the truth as the person stops themselves from telling the truth.”

What was heard from the GOP presidential nominee was his anger over the successes of President Obama, which Romney had to suppress when speaking about him. All Romney could do was to perpetuate the lies, and distortions regarding the record.

Mittens spoke about how he would create 12 million new jobs, yet the CBO has already predicted that this number of new jobs are already on track to come on-line over the next few years regardless of who becomes president, unless a Romney presidency creates another new recession. And, that is very likely.

Reducing taxes leads to reduced spending leads to reduced revenues leads to reduced demand leads to reduced supply leads to reduced jobs leads to reduced wages. This is the Romney economic plan.

His idea of sustainable job growth is increased military spending. What is clear is that Romney has no economic plan. He is totally clueless. His record has been to send jobs overseas. Romney has never been a job creator. As governor, his state ranked near the bottom in job creation, which improved by the time he left to 28^th out of 50. He gave his state Romneycare. He increased the state’s debt by over $2 billion leaving it with a grand total of $18 billion in debt service. Manufacturing job growth was negative 14% when the national job growth half as bad. Growth output of goods and services was 9.4% during a time when the nation’s was 13.1%. Resident employment growth was negative .3% when the nation’s was positive 5.8% (2003-2007).

Mittens complained how much better U.S. international relations has been under Obama following the disastrous presidency of LilboyBush and Condi Rice. He lied about the fact that Obama has been apologizing around the world. President Obama has done more to reconcile the mistakes of LilBoyBush than Romney wanted to admit.

Then Trickie Mittie went on to bring us his new vision of a modern day Cold War by threatening Vladimir Putin and Russia, and warning Iran that talking no longer works when it comes to dealing with them. So Mittens, what does work?

He went on to say that Obama has thrown Israel under the bus when, in fact, he has encouraged Israel to show restraint when it comes to a potential air strike against Iran’s nuclear enrichment underground sites. We do not need $10.00 a gallon of gas at the pump right now, Mr. Nominee.

Mr. One Dimensional Romney only knows how to talk about small business creators and mega-corporate job deporters. He went on to speak about the rising costs of fuel, food and more. This is because wages are not keeping up with inflation, but have significantly declined since 2000. The GOP resists raising the minimum wage, or allowing a “public option” health care plan allowing workers to be able to take their health care with them when they shift jobs. Such an action would likely raise wages because workers would not have a lag time when their new health care policy kicked in. Such health care mobility would be good for workers who want to change jobs, but instead keep workers stuck in lower paying jobs.

It appears that Romney does not believe that a person can be successful without being a small business owner, since he never once spoke about successful people who were not the head of corporations.

We heard more garbage about how Obama said, “You didn’t build that”, when, in fact, the lip pursing Romney knows he lies about this slogan over and over again.

Here is the quote spoken by President Obama:

     “There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.” (knowyourmeme.com)

American business did not become strong in a vacuum. Government and other enterprises were engaged to allow for others to follow and become prosperous. But Romney loves to lie and distort. Just watch his lip-pursing behavior when he speaks of such lies. Romney wants us to believe that business is created without the help of the U.S. Patent office, or energy transmission lines, or water filtration plants, or highways, and rail systems, or lending institutions, or minimum wage laws, or tax breaks and incentives, or government subsidies to stir business creation. Hey Mittens, You didn’t build that by yourself!!

Bain Capital would not exist if it were not for the government and what it has allowed them to do legally.

From the Huffington Post: 

"The latest example comes from Rolling Stone, which in its Sept. 13 issue tells how the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. ended up footing a bill of at least $10 million in bailing out Bain & Co., the consulting firm that spawned the private-equity firm Bain Capital. The story is based partly on documents the magazine received under the Freedom of Information Act. It will probably get a lot less attention than Matt Taibbi's cover opus on Romney in the same issue, but is no less interesting.

Bain & Co. got into deep financial trouble in the late 1980s, partly because the founding partners of Bain Capital had stripped it of cash and saddled it with debt. But since the personal reputation of Romney was so tied to the fate of the Bain & Co, he jumped back into the company in 1990, after six years as CEO of Bain Capital.

In that time, he refused to let the company simply slip into bankruptcy,RS claims, reportedly inspiring a frustrated Goldman Sachs banker to tell Romney to "go fuck" himself.

Ultimately, Romney managed to convince Bain's creditors to take a steep discount on Bain debt, using a threat to pay Bain executives big bonuses that would have stripped it of the cash it had left, leaving creditors with next to nothing, according toRolling Stone.

One of those creditors was the FDIC, which had taken over a bank that loaned money to Bain. The FDIC ended up collecting about $14 million of the $30 million Bain owed it, according to the magazine. Taxpayers didn't foot the bill for this, FDIC banks did, but RS points out that those costs were in turn probably absorbed by bank customers in the form of higher fees.

If this reed feels a little too thin to beat Romney very aggressively with, then there areplenty of other examples of companies owned by Bain Capital benefiting from government tax credits and subsidies. Bloomberg news detailed several of these back in June, writing:

The public-private agreements, which began in the first decade of Romney’s tenure as CEO, show that government played a supporting role in establishing Bain as among the nation’s most successful private equity firms and enabling him to accumulate a fortune his campaign says could reach $250 million."  

Above written by Mark Gongloff.   

Here is more from the liars and Kool-Aid drinkers speaking at the RNC who believed that they built their businesses without the help from anyone else or from government support.

"Steven Cohen, the president of an Ohio construction equipment manufacturer, who spoke at the party's national convention in Tampa on Wednesday, benefited from about $2 million in government contracts. His company, Screen Machine Industries, which provides equipment to the military and other government agencies, also received nearly $220,000 in stimulus contracts, according to a story reported last year by the Associated Press." (Huffington Post, Emily Peck)

The truth remains that Romney thinks in a single dimension. The world is two dimensional, and tasks must be done while engaged in performing other ones, as well. Juggling is best done with more than one ball in hand. Romney has trouble with that.

Overall, his acceptance speech was flat---Flat Earth-style. He came off as a bully and complainer. His vision lacked substance.

Now it is time for President Obama to bring forth his vision so we can all compare which one has “The Beef”.

Is The Wrath Of God Coming Down On The GOP's Tampa Convention?

What did the wacko Christian Fundies say about 9/11? Pat Robertson said, “He blames 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina on gays and lesbians, cozies up to the Chinese coercive and murderous one-child policy…”

Here is a smattering of the insane viewpoints of those in the GOP’s sociopathic and pervert division of their party.

The Reverend Pat Robertson, of CBN, aka 'The Christian Broadcasting Network.' To Robertson, Katrina was not merely punishment for legal abortion but also a blessing for the Right because the storm diverted the nation's attention away from the Senate confirmation hearing of George W. Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr.

Out of this tragedy, the focus of America is going to be on these victims, and inflamed rhetoric in the United States Senate is just not going to play well now because this is a time of healing and compassion and reaching out to people, and if they start going on a vendetta against Roberts in the Senate, it's just going to hurt them. And I think they know that, so, I mean, Judge Roberts can, maybe, you know, be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) was preaching the message that hurricane Irene was a divine warning to our nation's capital.

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?

Rev.Clyde Higgins delivered to the readers of Christwire: Irene was punishment for New York legalizing same sex marriage.

You have betrayed America’s duty as a Christian nation to make homosexuals miserable in their sins.  You have allowed the biggest city of America to be a modern Sodomy Megalopolis.

Texas pastor John Hagee claimed that the 2005 storm was sent to punish New Orleans.

All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came...And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

Oregon's David Crowe, an ordained minister who is the founder and president of Restore America, agreed that it was America that was being punished, not just the immoral pagans on the Gulf coast:

Katrina was an act of God upon a sin-loving and rebellious nation, a warning to all who foolishly and arrogantly believe there is no God, and that if He did exist, "would not have done such a thing!" It is also a serious call to repent, to turn away from our wicked ways, from the heart of a loving Father.

The Writer of Psalm 107 closes by saying, "Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, and consider the Loving kindness of the LORD."

Newsvine.com, from Carloz, 9-25-12

Now that Hurricane Isaac is about to land in Tampa disrupting the GOP’s nomination convention, what will the psychopaths, sociopaths and perverts filling the halls say about this ocean drenching upon their lies, fraudulent presentations, hypocrisies, junk science garbage, and overall bullshit?

Will Bachmann and Romney come out and say that the sins of the Party of No are being punished for damaging the country? Will they come forward and admit that they have a platform that will seriously injury those who already have been damaged by their serious policies implemented by their last Evil Lilboy occupying the White House?

Will we see a transformation, or an admission of guilt by these conartists for destroying working class savings, the destruction of working class wages, the give-aways of the nation's wealth to the bankstas, the politicizing of the Supreme Court, the fascist process of controlling elections, the theft of American jobs, which were sent overseas by the likes of their chief nominee—Pinhead Romney?

Or, will they just proclaim that God is trying to wash away their sins by having the ocean’s waves sweep over their convention in order to cleanse their souls of their evil ways.

Doubtful. They will say nothing. They will ignore their hypocrisies of berating Democrats, and spew inept and stupid criticisms along with the chastising of liberal and centrist viewpoints and policies that were better for the nation, but instead traded them for more damaging and painful policy decisions that were devastating to hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans, and just bad for the nation.

Glenn Beck said this about Katrina and hurricanes, and it appears to be true in regards to the GOP’s convention in Tampa. Was this a prophecy directed to the regressives having their nomination party?

...this hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you, as was the earthquake last week, it’s God reminding you, ‘You’re not in control.'

Amen, Glenn, Amen!!

Romney is the Harvard Version of Sarah Palin, but worse!!

Romney travels abroad and decides to criticize two of three host nations. He is just a foolish sociopath believing that he is better than those he shakes hands with.

In Britain, he criticizes their Olympic security, and then, the Brits give it right back to the foolish Sarah Romney.

He travels to Israel and does the same thing there criticizing the Palestinians as inferior minded people and praising the Israelis with Sheldon Adelson, the wealthy casino mogel, pulling his puppet strings in exchange for fat wads of cash.

Romney has no mind of his own, and when he speaks it is not unlike the foolishness that comes out of the mouth of Sarah Palin. The GOP has decided to nominate the male version of Sarah Palin for their choice of president. They haven’t learned a darn thing!!

Romney, while in Israel, uses the information written in a book by Jared Diamond called Guns, Germs and Steel. Mr. Diamond has been very upset with Romney’s misrepresentation of the contents twisting the writings to fit his own perverted and sociopathic viewpoint of the Palestinians.

Romney said, "And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," he said. Romney also mentioned the "hand of providence," and how the Jews have "long recognized the purpose in this place and in their lives that is greater than themselves and their own particular interests."

Romney failed to say that containing people in a restricted area and controlling their fate, in many ways, could damage their lives and economies. This is what Mr. Diamond had written in his book.

Here is more from Romney, which he wrote for the National Review in his piece called “Culture Does Matter.”

“During my recent trip to Israel, I had suggested that the choices a society makes about its culture play a role in creating prosperity, and that the significant disparity between Israeli and Palestinian living standards was powerfully influenced by it. In some quarters, that comment became the subject of controversy.”

Romney’s viewpoints appear to be rooted in racism. We heard this type of garbage by racists in regards to why African Americans have had problems adapting to a one-time white American society. As our nation evolves, whites are becoming the minority, and people of other races and cultures dominate. And now, we have a Tea Party and others who are darn scared that they will no longer run the show as they have done in the past. They are angry that they will have to share the game board with others.

Romney is a White Supremist racist put out in front by the GOP to send 90% of the nation back into the dark ages of economic prosperity, while handing over the wealth to the top 10%. As we have just learned from Sarah Romney that he will put 12 million more Americans back to work in his first term by lowering an already near record low tax rate and cut budgets—in other words Austerity Drives Prosperity, ie. Trickle Down Economics, to rebuild the country’s economy. But in fact, the Center for American Progress predicts the Romney Economic Plan will kill 360,000 jobs. Romney is a pervert with a delusional mind. Austerity pushes down prosperity and increases unemployment and refuels a recession.

This is from the Huffington Post piece written by Luke Johnson:

He repeated the argument in a subsequent National Review article, entitled "Culture Does Matter."

"The linkage between freedom and economic development has a universal applicability," he wrote, citing the differences between East and West Germany and North and South Korea. But South Korea was an authoritarian country until the late 1980s, and China and Singapore are strong counterexamples to the notion that freedom and economic development are universally linked.

This isn't the first time Romney has seemingly mischaracterized a book he's read. Journalist Noam Scheiber said he wrongly used his book, "The Escape Artists," to accuse Obama of pushing the Affordable Care Act to intentionally slow down the economic recovery.

Jared Diamond says that Romney appears to have not read his book. If he has read Mr. Diamond’s book, then he purposely manipulated and twisted it to fit his perverted mind.

Now we have a kerfuffle between SlimmieDog Romney and Harry Reid. Mr. Reid decided to up the Rumor Mill Ante by doing what Fox News does all the time, which is to say that ‘someone told me that Romney paid no taxes for 10 years’. And, this someone was a Romney investor, so he should know.

Romney told Reid to put up or shut up in regards to this rumor, yet Romney clearly has no clue that the burden of proof lies with him!!! The American people, along with many inside the GOP, have told Romney to put the tax issue to rest and lay out his completed tax returns going back to 1999, when he supposedly “retired” from Bain Capital.

Romney wants Dirty Harry to lay down his “weapon” and give up his source, instead of Dope-slapping Harry by laying out his completed history of tax returns to prove that he did pay taxes, even if the rates were possibly below 10%.

Romney is just the class bully yelling back to his peers that their mothers are fat, too!! So there!!!

It is very clear that Sarah Romney is just another GOP perverted sociopath who believes they are right to lie, and manipulate at the expense of millions of others in order to achieve their goals.
