2012 Election

Romney Economics is a business model of outsourcing, bankruptcy, and investments in companies at the expense of American workers. Looking to make a profit with minimal risk? Tired of all those pesky employee benefits and pensions? Don't mind seeing jobs shipped overseas? Then Romney Economics is the business model for you!

David Brooks over at the New York Times has penned a hilarious bigraphy of Mitt Romney's life.  Here's the start:

The purpose of the Republican convention is to introduce America to the real Mitt Romney. Fortunately, I have spent hours researching this subject. I can provide you with the definitive biography and a unique look into the Byronic soul of the Republican nominee:

Mitt Romney was born on March 12, 1947, in Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Virginia and several other swing states. He emerged, hair first, believing in America, and especially its national parks. He was given the name Mitt, after the Roman god of mutual funds, and launched into the world with the lofty expectation that he would someday become the Arrow shirt man.

Romney was a precocious and gifted child. He uttered his first words ("I like to fire people") at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under, but Romney made 24 million Jujubes on the deal.

Mitt grew up in a modest family. His father had an auto body shop called the American Motors Corporation, and his mother owned a small piece of land, Brazil. He had several boyhood friends, many of whom owned Nascar franchises, and excelled at school, where his fourth-grade project, "Inspiring Actuaries I Have Known," was widely admired.

Head over to the NYT to read the entire article.

Mitt Romney failed the people who made him governor, leaving the Bay State 47th in the nation in job creation.

Do you suffer from Sexually Liberated Uterine Tendencies? Now there's a treatment that can help.

Mitt Romney's reinvention convention is starting with the theme "We Built It." Mitt Romney will try to sell himself to the American people as a "Mr. Fix It" who knows how to turn a business around. Of course, once you examine his record, it's clear Mitt Romney knows less about turning businesses around and more about running them into the ground.

Mitt Romney made millions of dollars bankrupting companies, shuttering factories, offshoring jobs and putting profits before people. The theme of the Republican National Convention paints a rosy picture, but the theme of Mitt Romney's time as a corporate raider is less flattering. Mitt Romney didn't build that -- he destroyed it.

"Mitt Romney: You Didn't Built That — You Destroyed It"

COMING -- August 30th -- on MOVEON.ORG -- a new mini-doc tells the heart-rending story of Mitt Romney's rise from adversity.

All True. All Grit. and 100% MITT.

How great Republican Presidents from Lincoln to Reagan used government to advance education, build our interstate highway system, save Social Security, increase funding for the arts and implement many of the other programs that have made America a better place for ALL of us.

Romney's Hiding Information About His Offshore Accounts, Investments From Voters

"Maybe"

Over the course of the campaign, Romney assured the American public that his financial disclosure forms told the full story about his finances. Now we know they didn't -- when he released his 2010 tax returns, he was forced to amend those forms to include his offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Switzerland. Mitt Romney wants Americans to "just trust him" when he hasn't been forthcoming in his disclosure forms and his running mate, Paul Ryan, has proposed a plan that would reduce his tax burden to less than one percent, while raising taxes on middle class families by an average of more than $2,000? Mitt Romney should come clean with the American public, explain what he's hiding and why he thinks it's fair that middle class Americans should pay far higher tax rates than he pays now and what he would pay under Paul Ryan's plan.
