        I have admiration for George Romney but am really beginning to wonder what values he taught his son.

        Michael Tomasky

        I have expressed on prior occasions my admiration for George Romney in comparison to his youngest son, but we’ve reached a point now where I’m seriously beginning to wonder whether he and Lenore taught Mitt the difference between the truth and a lie.

        Did you see the way Mittens and the GOP chopped that Obama “redistribution” tape? Somehow, they left out the part where Obama, back in 1998, said:

        “How do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at the local level and can be tailored to particular communities.”

        Competition, marketplace, innovation…all obvious socialistic buzzwords, of course. Honestly. I know a lot of you are going to make excuses for this, and that’s fine, but really, this is something I trust none of you would ever do in your personal lives. If you were feuding with your neighbor about something, I’m confident you would not lie like this. I guess it’s not George’s fault. Mitt is a little sociopathic or something. And I’m starting to wonder if Reince Priebus’s marbles didn’t get a little jumbled somewhere along the line too. He says the wrong thing, a stupid and boorish thing, almost every time he opens his mouth.
