He done tol’ ‘em and tol’ ‘em, borrow money from your parents to go to college, borrow money from your parents to start a business.

It’s not his fault they didn’t take his advice. That’s why they deserve to remain poor, generation after generation.

I get the feeling that the POTUS election is going to be tight; much tighter than it should be, given all of the evidence of how out-of-touch Romney and the GOP is. I try not to think about it, as I start turning into Ed Schultz.

What kills me is that how everyone talked about the GOP being on life support in 2008. I thought it was bullshit at the time, mainly because it was so short sighted. I said to someone that if things don’t improve quickly enough, the American voter would be dumb enough to re-elect the party that caused all of these problems in the first place.

Called that one.

And now we have a GOP nominee who has. No. Fucking. Idea. Of what is to actually struggle.

Who has always had millions of dollars to fall back on.

Who tells college kids with crushing loans to “just” borrow $40,000 from their folks to start a business.

Whose idea of talking sports with the average Joe is to mention all of the team owners he knows.

Who vowed that the car industry in his home state wasn’t deserving of help, and then tried to claim credit for the successful bailout he derided.

Who views corporation as people.

This guy is neck-and-neck in the polls with Obama.

That’s depressing. Anyone who votes for Romney and isn’t a millionaire really needs to re-examine their grip on reality.
