Romney to protesters: ‘Take a hike’

[kpete]

While speaking in Ormond Beach, the candidate found himself being “mic checked,” a phrase Occupy Wall Street protesters often use at the beginning of their demonstration.

“Corporations are not people!” they shouted. “We are the people! We are America!”

“Actually, these are the people,” Romney yelled back, pointing to his supporters. “These are the people; you’re the interrupters!”

“We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the right to speech. And you believe in interrupting. Take a hike,” he added.

1. Jackass. Plastic, pandering jackass.

No wonder the GOTP can't get behind this guy. His smarmy little Beavis and Butthead laugh really creeps me out. Actually, just looking at him creeps me out. That smirk, ugh.

2. I think he may have gotten his feeling hurt.

9. I don't think so. I think he hired someone to have his feelings.

3. That's the message he sends to an increasingly larger group of Americans.

In fact, it seems to be the underlying message at every Republican debate from all the candidates.

"If you're poor, don't vote for me, because I plan to cut welfare"
"If you're gay, don't vote for me, I don't believe you have rights"
"If you're in a union, don't vote for me, because I think you're overpaid"
"If you're Hispanic, you won't want to vote for me, because I'll see you as a second class citizen".
"If you're black, don't vote for me, because I think you're lazy".
"If you're old, don't vote for me, because I think Medicare is an 'entitlement' that needs replaced with your savings account".

How the hell do these Republicans have anyone left to vote for them? About all that's left anymore is a few Tea Party cranks.

4. Deny the patriotism of those who disagree with you.

A tried old rethug trick. he doesn't even do it that well.

Smarm personified.

5. Cayman Islands

If he believes in America so much than why is he hiding his money making deals in the Caymans?

8. Because in GOPamerica, not paying your taxes

is as American as Apple Pie (or the Grand Cayman tax free equivalent of Apple Pie)

12. exactly- why doesn't he run for president of Cayman Islands?

seems to me it'd be a better fit for him.

6. "Take a hike?" That's all he's got?

Anyone want him driving the train? Pathetic spoiled self-important twat. Whose idea was it that he run, anyway?

7. Red-baiting!!!!

How incredibly retro of Mittens.

Who knew how super-cool he could be?

10. These people who don't like America vs The Caymen Island

Guy!
Oh the irony, if he loves America so much, why so much of his money is in foreign banks
