Yes.

I'm not sure the government levying a huge tax counts as the market acting on its own

You're acting like there's actually a free market out there.

The interesting story here is not the particular fib by Romney, but the fact that politicians on the campaign trail, in the biggest stage in the world, come out and spew "facts" that they haven't even had an assistant google check. And they will keep going with these bogus assertions long after they have been publicly shown to be false.

Why do we let them get away with this crap? I thought America was supposed to be, you know, exceptional?

Nice to pull in a distant signal from the Moral High Ground.

Things have really changed in the last 2 generations...
Lying has become standard American behavior...
Just watch any American TV sitcom or commercial...
Everybody lies to everyone like it's a big joke.

The Constitution and Rule of Law have been neutered...
Just look at MF Global where $1.6 billion just disappeared...
If John Corzine and Jamie Dimon can pull this heist...
While Eric Holder looks the other way...
Your money is not really safe in any American institution.

Where are the Special Prosecutors?

[ ] your post about obama v bush

Its much easier to make the point that the Republican Party attracts the intellectually inferior when a plurality of their voters believe that Obama is muslim and that he was born in another country.

The light bulb thing only once again proves that Romney is disengenious (does anyone think that he is not?). Any further discussion about the freedom to choose light bulbs is just a distraction from that fact. We could get into a discussion about how people who don't know what a birth certificate verifies probably aren't smart enough to distinguish between different kinds of light bulbs or how making energy effecient light bulbs the standard would be a good part of an overall energy policy but what would be the point?

Woah einbert with the rarest of all birds - an actual reply from RedmanPlus. You should be honored.

Of course the great white whale is a reply from Redman to your own reply to him. Pretty sure that's never happened. But if it happened to me I'd probably just quit 2p2 and maybe th internet in general. Can't achieve more than that.

Bwahahahaha

Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?

^^ Check it.

Wow insanely good.

+1 hilarious

I find it hilarious that the same people who criticize Obama about gas prices and "not having an energy policy" probably are also up in arms about this. Best part is that it wasn't even Obama lololol

awesome

worth the time for sure.

Check out that video!

Good video, though I got turned off by the "mass debating" joke at the end.

Yeah, but "my dog is on the roof" was so awesome to balance it out.

Hysterical!

Hi Kow,

I get it that this is a popular meme in the college dorm and among the Euro-socialists, but it isn't consistent with reasonable data (sample = 17,836) among the electorate. From Obama's rousing 7% victory in 2008 via CNN exit polling among the least educated voters... the 4% of voters with "no high school:

Obama = 63% Mc Cain = 35%

so...... the least educated voters voted Obama by a landslide! The least educated among us are overwhelmingly democrat voters.

The most educated are also overwhelmingly democrat voters too.

When broken out by education I believe Obama won every group lol

I'd be curious to see stats on the group that uses terms like "eurosocialists"

Most years, college grads will go to Republicans. The republicans dumb, democrats smart is just, well, dumb. Dems do just as well with high school dropouts as they do with graduate work.

Yup, but the middle usually goes to Republicans, while the extremes have gone to democrats every year except 88.

so, as an intelligent person, how does it make you feel to know that the republicans idiotic strategy of alienating everyone that wasn't already voting for them is going to cause pres obama to crush in 2012?

would you say, as an intelligent person, that it's a good idea for a major political party in 2012 to be anti-contraception? to perpetuate racist conspiracy theories about where the president was born? what about throwing up a big **** you to women voters by pressing for state mandated pre-abortion ultrasounds?

surely no candidate from a party that represented intelligent people would label atheists (who are generally more intelligent than the average person) as "anti-american," right?

what was once the 'grand old party' is now a bunch of mouth breathers, evangelical ******s, and some intelligent libertarianish people who hate the direction the party is going. how can you defend the party when the intelligent members that havent left yet all wish that it would go in a different direction (actual limited government, free market, etc) instead of the 'we love god, we hate you' direction it has chosen.
