Just finished watching the documentary "Mitt"

[RandySF]

The guy comes off as an even bigger self-righteous asshole than ever. And now it looks like the Romney campaign DID expect to lose on election day, but didn't bother telling Paul Ryan who looked like a goofball measuring the drapes to the Vice President's residence.

1. Interesting

I've been looking for a copy.

[Ikonoklast]

7. Is it true it comes with a vomit bag?

If not, better buy a bucket.

[davidpdx]

9. Not sure

But I sure as hell won't be paying for it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. was there any hint whatsoever of an election machine fraud? Or was that just a Bushco

MO ? I have often thought that Bushco owned the software and unless they fully sanctioned your election..you wouldn't get it.

3. PS...Why is the news saying it makes him look more human? That clip of him

trying to write his concession speech appears on surface pretty sad.

4. Never speak ill . . .

Maybe they're obeying that old warning to never speak ill of the dead.

[Frank Cannon]

14. I have no doubt that Mitt Romney is a human being.

He's just a contemptible one.

[madokie]

5. Joe totally put Ryan in his place during the debates

He pretty much won that election by that too.
Lying Ryan came across as a lying, stupid ass ignorant mo'fo' in way over his head
We dodged a real one in that election thats for sure.

8. The next GOP Team . . .

It's likely the next GOP team will be just as bad, or worse. We had better to ready, because the country is in no shape right now to suffer through another Republican administration in the White House.

[Blanks]

10. Republican administrations don't do as much damage as republican controlled congress...

Eisenhower, Nixon (gave us the EPA). If we had to choose between one or the other - the wise choice would be let them have the White House.

The president can't really put forward much of an agenda if the opposing party controls the legislative branch.

[LAGC]

12. Don't forget about that Third Branch of government -- the JUDICIAL.

The president appoints not just Supreme Court justices that serve for life, but many of the Federal courts as well.

With as crazy as the GOP has been getting lately, they could really fuck things up in the civil rights department should they start stacking the courts.

6. Paul Ryan looked like a goofball? You're being much too kind.

I have never forgotten the news of him and two other pricks out enjoying a couple of $350 bottles of wine while Congress was in the middle of debates over whether to cut the safety net for seniors:

Nor have I forgotten the news of him at a staged photo-op pretending to wash [clean] dishes at an Ohio soup kitchen while his wife and three children pretended to help:

Measuring the drapes in the VP's residence only serves to highlight was a self-entitled phoney this guy is, second only to Mittens himself, and that is what really should never be forgotten.

11. I rarely fall asleep watching TV. I was out like a light some 15-20 min in. n/t

13. Obama never trailed in the polls...by election day, he was back up to 5+ % leads in most

Anybody who didn't know Obama was going to win is an idiot. For all Mitt's assholishness, he isn't, in my view, an idiot. The Romney people knew they were going to lose. So did everyone in the media, the Obama campaign, and any moderately informed observer. Politics isn't an "any given Tuesday" sort of thing 99.99999% of the time. It's eminently predictable. That's why the "Mitt didn't know" storyline is so attractive and silly. It defies credulity. It's also why Karl Rove's behavior on election night remains so very, very strange.

15. Doesn't anyone else in that family clean up?

There are two scenes in which he is picking up stuff from the floors of hotel rooms, and nobody else lifts a finger to help out.

[spanone]

16. probably in the script.

[RandySF]

17. I noticed that, but then again I can relate.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one in the family who picks up.

[Whisp]

18. I struggled to watch the whole thing

I found it incredibly boring - perhaps because I followed the campaign rather closely so there were no real surprises or revelations for me. I suppose this piece wasn't made for one who already knew the Romney's and their sicknesses.

The slant and editing did, however, make Romney the sympathetic character. The cheering crowds of numbers was not how it really went so avoiding showing the many meet ups he had with little interest tells you right there who made the film, a sympathizer.

His family was much creepier and annoying that he was. I hope his sons don't go into politics, my gawd what robotic souless phonies.

[freeplessinseattle]

19. & last night on Letterman he said he expected to win

Which is why he didn't write speech in case he lost. I've always thought that was just the story tho bc they were probably conferencing with Rove.
