let him get the nomination again.

I haven't asked for much lately, God, but if I can just have this . . .

The Dem nominee would be a shoe-in.

Given the short attention span of the American voter saying it again would not hurt.

get another Mitt.
There is always another who believes that the only legitimate enterprise is private, that wealth is equivalent to worth, that selfishness is the only motivation that can be trusted, that freedom can be measured by return on investment, that inequality is what happens when people get what they deserve, that Government itself is antithetical to freedom.

If not Mitt … maybe me!

Mitt said that taking every possible tax deduction is patriotic. If I was to say that, I'd get a vote or two.
If I said that 47% of Americans want a free ride at your expense, I'd get support from the working class.
If I said that Corporations are people, my friend, I'd get some campaign contributions.
If I said that my tax returns are my own goddamn business, voters would admire my integrity.

Uh … sorry. Not me. I'm not qualified. I lack virtue. I'm not rich.
