Romney has broken with recent precedent his father included in refusing to release his tax returns, but he says has paid 13 percent for 10 years. (Just trust me.) Romney has not released the names of his major bundlers, but he wont be beholden to his donors, as Obama has been. (Just trust me.) Romney vows to eliminate the deficit, and promises that his tax plan will be revenue neutral, even though he wont say which loopholes and deductions hed eliminate to pay for deep tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich. (Just trust me.) Romney says he intends to eliminate whole agencies of government, but wont say which ones, except in closed-door meetings with donors, and even then, details are scarce. (All together now: Just trust me.)

Any American considering voting for this symbol of what almost destroyed the country is either an outright racist, has memory issues, or needs to have their head examined, period.

(3,072 posts)If i was part of that campaign, I would literally be dumbfounded as to which direction to go in for the rest of the election. There are just so many great lines of attack against Romney/Ryan. It kind of reminds me of going to a party with a well stocked open bar. You just become overwhelmed with the amazing choices that you don't know what to do.

Sledge Hammer! is an American satirical police sitcom produced by New World Television that ran for two seasons on ABC from 1986 to 1988. The series was created by Alan Spencer and stars David Rasche as Inspector Sledge Hammer,[1] a preposterous caricature of the standard "cop on the edge" character, whose name is apparently mutated from Mike Hammer. Indeed, Sledge Hammer is most strongly influenced by Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan character. Al Jean and Mike Reiss, best known for their work on The Simpsons, wrote for the show and worked as story editors.
***snip***
Despite his irresponsibility and highly destructive urges, Hammer always ends up getting his man (or woman), often through sheer luck, brute force, the initiative of his partner, or some times a flash of brilliance. Hammer's unintentionally ironic motto is "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." (Disaster usually follows.) Another expression he often utters is "Don't confuse me," typically in response to any remark that challenges his ridiculously one-dimensional worldview....emphasis added
