Romney puts foot in his mouth once again

It's always funny when a rich Presidential candidate tries to come across as a regular guy. It almost always ends up backfiring. Mitt Romney, whose nomination is his to lose, is doing everything in his power to pull a "Jim Keane" and blow this election...

In remarks today to the Detroit Economic Club, Romney highlighted his love of American-made cars by saying he owns a Ford Mustang and a Chevrolet pickup, while his wife, Ann, drives “a couple of Cadillacs.”

Because, you know how every American family has four luxury vehicles. Romney's advisers should go look for work elsewhere because he continues to put his foot in his mouth wherever he goes. With the average person struggling to put gas in their cars, comments like this could cost him many votes...

Castro responds to GOP hopefuls

I'm glad to live in the United States of America. Living in Cuba, I'd never get away with criticizing the government like I do on a daily basis. However, that doesn't mean I don't agree with Fidel Castro's opinion of the type of " leaders" our current political system promotes. You might remember, the topic of Castro's impending death came up during last week's GOP debate...

Needless to say, Fidel Sassoon is not a big fan of the GOP hopefuls...

In an op-ed column published Wednesday, Castro writes, “The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.”

The greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance? I thought that was when Tim Kennedy ran against Bill Stachowski in 2010? I guess the man with the big cigar gets touchy when others talk about his limited time here on earth. Not to be outdone, he had this to say about Barack Obama and American voters, specifically minority voters...

Earlier this month, Castro remarked that, faced with a choice between Obama, a top-tier Republican rival or a robot, “90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot.


The same thing can be said of South Buffalo voters. If they see an endorsed Democrat on several lawn signs or one of these liars says hello to them at a church lawn fete, forget about it. It doesn't matter how stupid the candidate is. The opponent could be the next Winston Churchill and it wouldn't matter.

Mitt and Newt wish death on Fidel Castro

I'll admit that I don't know a whole lot about Cuban leader Fidel Castro. However, Mitt and Newt's responses on his impending death make me wish we had some better Presidential candidates.

The knuckleheads were asked how they would respond to a 3AM phone call informing them of the Cuban leader's death? Mitt said he'd be glad that he was "meeting his maker." Newt responded that Fidel would be going to the other place. I can tell you this, Castro might be a scumbag, but he's much more sincere in his patriotism towards his country than these two buffoons.

I'd like to ask them, how would they respond to a 3AM phone call asking them if their refrigerator was running?...

Dumb and Richer

Newt Gingrich pulled off an upset victory over Mitt Romney in South Carolina on Friday. Questions about Romney's taxes and investments have him looking like a deer caught in headlights heading into Florida. What's more American than having your millions of dollars invested in a bank in the Caymen Islands with a guy named Jose?

Romney gave a somewhat rambling, noncommittal response in a debate in Myrtle Beach last Monday when asked if he would release his tax returns before the primary. The following day, he told reporters that because most of his earnings come from investments, he paid about 15 percent of his income in taxes, roughly half the rate paid by millions of middle-class wage-earners. A day later, aides confirmed that some of his millions are invested in the Cayman Islands, although they said he did not use the offshore accounts as a tax haven.

Asked again at a debate in North Charleston on Thursday about releasing his taxes, his answer was anything but succinct and the audience appeared to boo.

Gingrich clearly was going after the redneck vote when he referred to President Obama as the "food stamp" President.

Obama is "the most effective food stamp president in history," he said. "I would like to be the best paycheck president in American history." Those declarations and his attack on the "elite news media" reprised two of his more memorable lines from a pair of debates that helped fuel his victory.

Ironically, the polarizing Gingrich is the candidate who would have the toughest time defeating Obama in a one on one election. Will comments like the one above fly with moderate voters? I have to admit, when I first heard him call Obama the food stamp President, the issue of race came to mind. Newt has never been politically correct, but unfortunately for him, he's never been honest, either. Where's the guy from the Gong Show when you need him?


Unfortunately for the GOP, what they need is a charismatic guy like Ronald Reagan. Love him or hate him, Reagan had a way of reaching middle America. I don't see anyone like that in this field.

Mitt shoots himself in the foot

Republican Mitt Romney might have shot himself in the foot with his recent comments that he "enjoyed" firing his workers when he was a businessman. I don't know if that's the type of thing millions of unemployed Americans or young people want to hear during this never ending recession. It conjurs up an image of the power hungry management types lurking around every workplace office in America. People are powerless to do anything about them, but they can make sure one of them doesn't move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Now, Rommeister is using the predictable defense that his comments were "taken out of context". He's in trouble if word of his comments spread to everyday people. One of his opponents has even come out with a ringtone with Romney saying, "I like being able to fire people." Sounds like something I might put on this blog...
