LaBolt Repeats: Romney Complaints ‘Seemed a Little Bit Unhinged’ and he's right!

[maddezmom]

An Obama campaign official isn’t exactly backing down from his comment earlier this week that Mitt Romney seemed a bit unhinged in his complaints about attacks from the Democratic camp.

In fact, Ben LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman, essentially repeats the assertion in an interview on “DC Bureau,” The Wall Street Journal’s online politics show.

Asked about Mr. Romney’s assertion this week that President Barack Obama should “take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Mr. LaBolt replied:

“I thought that was an interesting speech for Gov. Romney to give. In some ways his remarks seemed a little bit unhinged.

“I think that anybody who spends a day with the president on the campaign trail, he’s been talking about the exact choice he outlined in his economic framing speech in Cleveland. Which is are we going to build the economy from the middle class out or build it from the top down by rewarding the wealthiest with special breaks, stripping back oversight for banks and polluters, and assuming the market will take care of the rest. That’s the core contrast the president has outlined. It’s substantive and it’s policy-focused.

1. I'm pretty sure Romney doesn't watch the President's speeches....

... because if he did, he would likely have already conceded the election.

6. I'm pretty sure Romney doesn't write his replies to Obama's speaches either. He get's his marching

orders from Grover Norquist and Rush Limbaugh, Dick Armey and the Koch brothers. As is sidekick, Paul Ryan, who doesn't write policy or speeches.

Both of them are just talking monkeys, repeating what they are told by the Heritage Foundation, Freedom Works, and Americans for Prosperity which were founded by the RW political hacks named above.

I mean really does anyone think Romney, Ryan or Palin are literate enough to write there own speeches and press releases?

7. I only disagree on one small point. Limbaugh works for and gets his talking points from Romney.

5. It helps explain Romney's bald-faced lying

Romney's ego is such a big deal to him that he doesn't care about telling easily debunkable lies at this point. He's desperate and will say anything to win. The most obvious proof of it is the 180-degree flip flops, but a whole bunch of Romney's lies in the current election have been close to "sad." As in, it is embarrassing to watch someone stoop so low. It's a kind of grovelling for power I would never have expected to see in a major candidate.
