Brilliant plan for tonight ahead of Romney's speech


They're leading with the most brain cell destroying speakers they can find; obviously to try and make Mitt look as interesting as possible, in comparison.

I keep switching it on to see if he's up and I swear I get dumber each time I listen to these folks.

. . . but there it is. I can see folks just turning it off and going to bed. Romney will be cold comfort, anyway.

It was just me. I was listening to it on the way to the house, and kept asking myself how are these speeches related to romney?

Screw it ... I'm just gonna watch the AZ cardinal do their pre-season thing and prepare for my Fantasy Football draft.

is listening to the anti-government rants; right alongside the crocodile tears about folks out of work and all of the rest of their complaints. If their big business buddies haven't bailed their asses out by now, it's just not going to happen if we give them even more of our tax dollars in breaks.

Who do they think is going to fix all of the stuff they're complaining about? More importantly, where was their republican Congress? Blocking progress on the solutions, of course. Deliberately, to harm this president politically for this very election.

It's just unreal.

Story after story of "I built that all by myself ... with government contracts, government loans, government minority/small business preferences" and "I'm ass out, but convinced that tax cuts for them will somehow benefit me."

One would think that they would pause and ask themselves "what's wrong with my picture? (If I was old enough) I struggled under reagan, I thrived under Clinton ... I crashed under Bush ... I'm coming back slowly under (President) Obama ... and the gop wants to take me back to reagan."

for precisely that reason.

By the way, Mitt has already released some excerpts:

Or, is it just damage control for a widely disliked cretin?
