Listening to Mitt Romney’s interview with CBS and reflecting on his campaign, it becomes all to clear that his mantra is “trust me” and that he promises, if you buy a pig in a poke, all your porcine dreams will come true. But that’s really an analogy from another time and another place.
What he’s REALLY saying is that he’s a lottery scratch-off.
You know (if you’re of a certain mind-set) that you’ve got a chance at getting what you want with Romney, but he won’t tell you if you actually will. Buy me! the Romney lottery ticket calls. And THEN you’ll find out.
And then scratch off the plastic goop over the numbers and see if you’ve won.

Your odds of winning are quite high — except that in the fine print and if you know anything about math or statistics, you’d realize it’s a sucker’s bet.
But there are a lot of people who buy scratch-offs anyway.
Good luck with that.
Courage.

I watched the 60 min. Interview with the mittwitt,and when scott pelley try to Pin him down on spec on tax cuts,he side steped the question,pelley pressed him and mad him answer the question,Then Pelley asked him about ryan policy’s on health care,and romney answered,”he’s not running for presd I”am”quote from romney,so what the Fu#k does that say about them two running this country,Incompetence.Then pelley posed the question about the Incompetant campiagn that some have said he’s running and his answer was,”well that’s me not the campiagn”If i remeber correctly this is the stupid fuck that say’s people are corp right?but this guy so wisy washy he can’t make the connection.
I couldn’t find a single true thing he said in that interview. Mostly it was multiple lies, evasions and flim-flam. His “Medicare” notion, if you listened closely, wouldn’t kick in until, at a minimum, two years after he was out of office after a second improbable term. That’s like leaving a time bomb in your office and splitting for South America months before it ever goes off.
If somehow, someway, Romney wins this election, I think the republicans will find it’s not wise to buy a pig in a poke. The problem is, they are trying so hard to get rid of the BLACK president, that they are not paying enough attention to what their candidate is saying, or not saying, I should say. This guy flips and flops faster than a fresh caught fish. So it really doesn’t matter if he ever says something specific, he’s liable to flip to the opposite the next day. If I were a republican I couldn’t vote for him.
We’ve seen this movie before. Remember how George W. Bush ran as a “compassionate conservative” and touted his ability to “reach across the aisle” and “work with Democrats”? Well, as the succeeding eight years proved, that was sheerest bullshit. And when it comes to outright lying, Romney’s way above Bush’s league.
