Why Can't I See THIS Mitt Romney On The Campaign Trail?

[ShotgunBlast]

At least this shows the honest Mitt, unlike what we see on the stump. Call it like it is. Interesting videos. What disappointed me was that I didn't see anyone wearing a monocle or anyone dressed in a top hot or coat tails like the Monopoly guy.

The truth hurts. Would love to have had Newt Gingrich be the one heading to a debate with Obama. I think he would've picked that Dem apart.

I had heard they're a liberal publication but haven't heard of them before this.

I think with everything else that has gone on this campaign, one side feels it was damning and the other side is brushing it off. I heard Bill Maher declare this was the week Mitt lost the election. Even I had to laugh at that one!

Saying mother jones is merely liberal is like saying Hitler had a little anger problem.

Libs keep pulling out the truth and being offended by it!

It will be their demise.

Brushing it off? Nah. Celebrating it, maybe. I have to say that those off-the-cuff remarks make me a little more comfortable with Romney.

+100 It gives me at least a sliver of hope that he really is a Conservative just a really indecisive one that maybe made some bad liberal decisions as governor. Reagan was once a democrat.....

Romney repeated his terrible error with the interview about the Olympics in the UK: HE TOLD THE TRUTH!

Now what the HELL is a guy who doesn't know any better than to tell the truth doing in politics?

The democrats' position on this says more about them than it does about Romney, IMO.

I just want someone with a f'cking backbone... and who we have ain't it.

IMo the most interesting thing about the video (besides the fact he's wrong about the 47%-since his own dad was on welfare when he got here from Mexico I guess he wouldn't vote for his son), but the woman in the audience who said,

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/201 ... cret-video

Audience member: Individuals in this room obviously are your supporters. I am very concerned that the average American, who doesn't know you, there's a terrible misconception. And I spend numerous hours trying to [unintelligible]. Years and years ago, I called George Bush Sr., and he had helped me in my campaign in Massachusetts when I ran for Senate. I told him that there's a guy named Clinton who's running for the following reasons. And he laughed. Right now, I'm very concerned…Women would not want to be involved for you. Hispanics, majority of them do not want to vote for you. College students don't.After talking to them, and explaining and rationalizing on a one-on-one basis, we are able to change their opinions. But on a mass level, what do you want us to do, this group here, as your emissaries, going out to convert these individuals to someone who's obviously going to be such an incredible asset to this country. We want you.

Romney: Well…

Audience member: But what do we do? Just tell us what we can help…

Romney: I have—I have some good news for you. It's not impossible. Now, the reason I say that is for instance, the New York Times had a poll last week, the New York Times and NBC, and I was leading by two points among women. All right. Now, the president came out and said this is an outrageous poll, they don't know what they were doing—by the way, the polls at this stage make no difference at all—but the point is, women are open to supporting me. They like the president [unintelligible], but they're disappointed. They're disappointed with the jobs they're seeing for their kids, they're disappointed with their own economic standing right now. So we can capture women's votes, we're having a much harder time with Hispanic voters. And if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African American voting bloc has in the past, why we're in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation.

Audience member: Rubio!

(Different) audience member: Exactly.

Audience member: Pick him up!

Romney: And so…[Audience laughs.] We have some great—we have some great Hispanic leaders in our party who will help communicate what our party stands for, and what I think, frankly, what I need you to do is to raise millions of dollars, because the president's going to have about $800 to $900 million. And that's—that's by far the most important thing you could do.

Its very telling his response to being told point blank he's screwed is he just needs millions more dollars. Still a CEO at heart lol.
