It appears that Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senator Rick Santorum have both grabbed a hold of Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom’s comment, “Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch-A-Sketch, you can kind of shake it up and we start all over,” and ran full speed ahead with it.

Mitt Romney and Etch-A-Sketch Commercial, Tweets and Memes 13
On Wednesday, March 21st, John Fugelsang, political comedian, was interviewing Romney Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom on CNN. John asked Eric, “Is there a concern that pressure from Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to tack so far to the right that it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election?”
Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up 27
What an absolutely incredible video! An enormous variety of clips primarily of Mitt Romney, with a guest appearance by President Obama, all cut and edited to headline Mitt rapping away. Featuring an Eminem background rap beat from the song “The Real Slim Shady“. If you do not like rap, or even totally disdain rap, no worries here. It is just a quiet, steady beat to provide the momentum of spoken speech.
Super Tuesday | Let the Games Begin! 9
Well, here it is. Super Tuesday has finally arrived. This has been one of the most interesting primaries in history. I often feel as though I am watching an old reel of The Three Stooges, while at the same time trying to decide which person would best fill the shoes as POTUS. And boy, oh boy… am I having a tough time with that one. I keep having this visual scene playing in my head that I just cannot shake….
Happy Hump Day | Political and Current News Humor 18
During the past several weeks, our country has seen a revelation like no other with the Republican Party, especially in the Republican primaries. Each and every debate and hot topic is of a very serious nature, however, sometimes we just need to laugh at the insanity we are witnessing which belongs in our future history books.
Trump Sounds Like An Idiot As He Rips Santorum 19
Donald Trump looks and sounds like a complete idiot in this video where he questions Santorum’s ability to run for POTUS. But, Trumpass, riddle me this… what about Mittens? Where does Romney get off flip-flopping like a fish out of water only for the purpose of opposing whatever he feels will gain him votes? Personally, the whole lot of you look like a bunch of fools to most of America. The majority of the votes you are receiving are from those who oppose Obama and/or Democrats.
Mitt Romney Encourages Foreclosures 7
Lately, Mitt-Twit has been been putting his scaly foot in his mouth with such statements as:
“I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich. They’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of America — the 90-95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.”
Rachel Maddow Slams Romney For Still Getting Paid For Killing Jobs 8
Rachel Maddow illustrates the fact that Florida Republicans are about to vote Mitt Romney who is still making money off of laying off people in the state.
Thank you, The Fifth Column, for posting this video. The beginning is very surprising.

Super PACs Have Spent Over $42 Million 12
Two federal court rulings in 2010 paved the way for the ascent of “super PACs,” political action committees that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on political races, as long as they don’t coordinate with a specific candidate. And so far, they’re spending heavily on the Republican race. No surprise there. This app, part of ProPublica’s long-term investigation into “dark money,” keeps track of where super PACs are spending their cash to influence the presidential race.
The GOP’s Racial Politics 15
From the subtle to the sickening, this Republican primary season has seen a normalizing of racist and racially-coded language. The three primary beliefs of the GOP’s are white, Christian, and heterosexual.
Mitt Romney and Bain Capital | Infographic 6
What is Bain Capital? Co-founded by Mitt Romney in 1984, Bain Capital is a classic “strip and flip” shop — a private equity firm that made its money buying businesses and sucking profit out of them by any means possible that often resulted in a stack of pink slips for everyday Americans. As the New York Post reported, during his 15 years as head of Bain, Romney “made fortunes by bankrupting five profitable businesses that ended up firing thousands of workers.” More…
Mitt Happens…. 12
LMAO! Came across this website called “Mitt Romney is a Tool.” Talk about hilarious! Allow me to share a few highlights from MittRomneyIsaTool.com….
A Few Comments From the Republican Debate in South Carolina 10
Well, the circus continues. Here are a few statements made tonight.
• Mitt Romney says he’ll “keep an open mind” around April in regards to releasing his tax filing.
Sorry, I do not believe this. It is very clear he is hiding something.
• Santorum said these three things will keep you out of poverty: “Work, graduate high school, and get married before you have children.” More…
Mitt Romney Completely Blows Off a Dying Man 9
This footage was taken from 2007, but Mitt’s opinions still have not changed. In this footage, you will witness the true cold, callous nature of this man running for POTUS.
It is not clear where this is filmed, but there is quite a bit of handshaking is going on. A young man in a wheelchair proceeds to tell Mitt that he suffers from a very rare type of Muscular Dystrophy and will eventually die from it, in addition to the fact that he now weighs less than 80 lbs. Medical marijuana is what he requires in order to stimulate an appetite and tolerate the suffering he endures every moment of his life. when Mitt mentions that there is synthetic marijuana, the young man informs Mitt that he has tried synthetic, but it makes him sick and he cannot tolerate it – which is most likely true. He then directly asks Mitt, “My question to you is, will you arrest me and my doctors if I get medical marijuana without {inaudible].” Just watch Mitt’s reaction. More…
It Is “Pick On Twit” Night… I mean, Mitt 15
It was a tough day at work… tough day at work (imagine Rodney Dangerfield’s voice over). Ergo… tired. Brain dead. Brain synapsis is in low gear. I happened to bounce over to twitter for a peek and saw this first tweet I have listed below appear, and thought, “Hmmmm… let’s have a little bit of fun and find some humorous tweets on twit… I mean, Mitt.
So, without further ado, “Pick on Twit Night”… I mean, MITT! (Gumby, dammit!) More…
First Round of Iowa Republican Circus… oops, I mean “Caucus” Votes Are In 6
The first round of Iowa circus caucus votes are in… at in least the location, Urbandale IA, which I am viewing live via C-SPAN. There are plenty more coming all over the state of Iowa. Here are the results which I viewed (and a few screen shots of a typical low-quality live stream):
Mitt Romney: 116 votes; 34.6%
Rick Santorum: 82 votes; 24.5%
Ron Paul: 51 votes; 15.2%
Perry: 37: 11%

Michele Bachmann: 14; 4.2% More…
Live Tweeting on the GOP Debate Oct. 11, 2011 Reply
Just in case you missed the new Hampshire leg of the GOP Circus, here is the Rationalist’s Blog’s commentary as it happened in “twitter-time.”
* Mitt Romney said he “cares about people.” Mormons are taught that. That’s why they marry so many of them.
SNL May 7th 2011 – Tina Fey Reprises Sarah Palin Impression (Video) Reply
Former regular Tina Fey returned to host Saturday Night Live for the third time Saturday and, in one of the evening’s highlights, brought back her Emmy-winning Sarah Palin impersonation during a sketch titled “GOP Debate.”
In the segment, Fey, dressed in Palin’s iconic red suit, squares off against other undeclared 2012 Republican presidential candidates, including Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Jimmy McMillan and Donald Trump. The debate is hosted by Fox News personality Shepard Smith, played cheekily by Bill Hader.
At the opening of her speech, Fey announces, “First I want to acknowledge that this week we finally vanquished one of the world’s great villains, and I for one am thrilled to say good riddance to Katie Couric!”
When asked if she has anything new to offer the American people, Fey responds winningly that she plans to film a cameo in Hangover 3 in the Middle East and has purchased Rosetta Stone English.
Fellow former SNL cast member Darrell Hammond also drew laughs for his impression of the embattled Trump, which included a reference to Osama bin Laden’s recent death: “Osama, boom! You’re fired!”
