‘I was just the guy with the smoke-screenish yet still legal title of CEO and managing director who was paid at least $100,000 a year to do what according to me, Mitt Romney, was nothing! And that’s the kind of business experience I hope to bring to the White House.’

—	JON STEWART, on Mitt Romney’s claim that, while he was listed as CEO, president and managing director at Bain Capital through 2002, he “did not manage Bain” and actually “retired retroactively” to 1999, on The Daily Show. *Mitt Romneycan’t even do semantics* right.** (via inothernews)

House Republicans, for the 33rd time, have voted to repeal all or part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Because if at first the GOP doesn't succeed at taking away healthcare coverage from 30 million Americans, they try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try again. »

Just remember that President Obama wants to extend a tax cut for the MIDDLE class, while Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to continue a tax cut for the hyper-rich. Which is understandable I guess because Mitt Romney's millions are already stashed away in Switzerland and other tax-free havens so he doesn't have to worry about that sort of thing. »

Watch Wil Wheaton play Borderlands 2 at E3 2012. Note: He is on fire a lot

Billionaire who gave millions to Newt Gingrich's failed campaign now gives $10 million to Mitt Romney's campaign. Remember this when Republicans complain about labor unions backing candidates: what takes hundreds of thousands of union members to raise, a billionaire friend to the GOP can write in a single check. Just in case you're wondering why conservatives just lurrrrrrve their filthy-rich friends. »

ZAKARIA / WASH. POST: "As for the idea that job creators are not creating jobs because their taxes are too high, think about it: Would Mitt Romney invest more of his money in American factories if only he had paid less than the 13.9 percent rate he paid last year? Please!" »

It somehow became an article of faith on the right that Obama is ‘the most extreme President in American history.’ Although when they say that, I think what they really mean is, ‘He’s black.’

This week (Mitt Romney) was attacking Obama about ‘our failing educational system.’ (And) he has a point: I mean, we are graduating millions of people in this country who are so lacking in basic analytical skills, they are considering voting for Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney talks about “restoring freedom to this country” like Americans live in North fucking Korea.

inothernews:

Dumbass.

President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor that [tries] to indoctrinate them.

Republican presidential candidate RICK SANTORUM, on Sunday’s Meet The Press.

No seriously. This guy is a fucking dick.

(via the Los Angeles Times)

The thing is, Santorum actually believes this. But in his defense, I can understand his self interest in ensuring fewer people go to college and become educated; he does have a voter base he needs to cultivate, after all.
