Romney: Citizens United was a terrible decision!

[^_^ 5,021]

“We simply can’t have a setup where the teachers unions can contribute tens of millions of dollars to the campaigns of politicians and then those politicians, when elected, stand across from them at the bargaining table, supposedly to represent the interests of the kids. I think it’s a mistake. I think we’ve got to get the money out of the teachers unions going into campaigns. It’s the wrong way for us to go. We’ve got to separate that.”

Of course, Mittens is an intelligent man and must realize his argument applies just as well to all donations from unions and corporations. Not just teachers unions.

So what he's really saying is what Democrats have been saying all along! Citizens United was wrongly decided. "It's the wrong way for us to go".

Is Mitt now suggesting that corporations aren't people? Time to break out the flip flops again. He's sure wearing them out.

Old Navy usually has good prices on flip flops, Mitt should check them out.

The impression I am getting about his 'intelligence' is that it is kind of like some autistic individuals. Isolated streaks of genius but severely lacking in other key areas, especially in 'social' intelligence! But who knows what he really believes! I think the only thing that matters to him is getting his hands on the levers of power to further pad his own and his friends pockets!

Romney is an extraordinarily ambitious man.

He has more money than he could p*ss away, even if he bought a new Rolls Royce every week, he's an accomplished Mormon preacher, he was Governor already, so his focus in life is now to become the President of the United States. He would pay $100 million dollars if he could buy the elections, or sell one of his children's kidneys . . . whatever it takes. He'll say anything and exactly the opposite of anything the next day, if it helps him to achieve his goals.

Not unlike Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, Romney bought companies in distress, laid everybody off, sold the pieces and outsourced the jobs to Asia. He made deals with a Chinese oil company that makes deals with Iran, so to p*ss of the U.S. government. If it comes to making money at any price, Romney is the man to have on your side. If it comes to create jobs or help the people, he's your worst enemy.
