Romney Resorts to Class Warfare In Florida


Is Romney trying to win over the 'Occupy Wall Street' crowd? Saul Alinsky would be proud. If I recall, Jon Huntsman was mocked for saying something similar in one of the debates.
"I want to do that not because I'm worried about the one percent. The 1 percent's doing fine. I want to help the 99 percent.

Sigh. Here we go again.

How is this inconsistent with his previous claims that the rich are doing fine, and he wants to help the middle class?

Terrye said...

Oh come on...this is just silly.

Totally biased post. I think it shows the length that the left and Gingrich will go to distort and manipulate. In Mitt Romney you have a candidate for the 100%.

Interesting that Gingrich yesterday was called the Saul Alinsky candidate.

Romney is not a flip-flopper, these are lies from the left, media, and his opponents, starting with Ted Kennedy - www.TeaPartyForRomney.com is proving this.

Lionhead said...

Once again the "Romney Way" is called into question. Just what is the "Romney Way?" ???

Is the flip-flopping for expediency, or for true held convictions? God knows.

In the mean time, the bigger issues are ignored as always by the MSM & the Obama Regime:

A person who aspires to be President is going to face challenges yet unforseen by the MSM & the average voter. If one is looking for leadership qualities under pressure, IMO, Mitt falls far short.

As always, Follow the Money.

A person who raises 100 companies from death faces all sorts of unknown pressures. While taking the reins of SLC Olympics, he faced a major unknown due to 9/11 happening. While Governor of MA, there was a tunnel collapse - an unknown tragedy. Romney reacted properly and with strength on the issue.

If one is looking for leadership under pressure, IMO, Mitt excels.

"an unknown tragedy"

I mean "an unforeseen tragedy".

Unfortunately for the "true conservatives" Moonbeam has been all over the map as well.

Real Question RW...why does Newt get a pass on all of his flip flopping? I'm not necessarily saying YOU should be pointing them out, but seriously, Newt just says "that was a mistake" and "true conservatives" just nod their heads with satisfaction.

Global Warming with Pelosi...that was a mistake.

Supporting a FEDERAL insurance MANDATE..."that was a mistake"

Promoting a class warfare propoganda movie on a debate stage...they should take the inaccuracies out but I'm still going to keep talking about Mitt raiding 4 compainies and use Swiss Bank accounts as part of my own attacks against Mitt...soooo he's never really stopped that one...no flip flop, my bad.

Republican proposals for entitlement reform that is supported by 98% of conservatives he declares right wing social engineering on the leading Sunday News Show (elite liberal media)...That was a mistake...no, I meant what I said, it's political suicide...no, I support the Ryan plan now...after all I am running against the establishment.

I'm going to run a positive, solutions oriented campaign...oh wait, no I'm not, in fact I'm going to take up liberal talking points to slay Romney and lead many of my supporters to engage in class envy rhetoric without them even realizing it.

I'll go ahead and leave out Moonbeams more obvious flipflops concerning his personal and religious decisions.

Mitt Romney has said time and again that the rich do not need help but the middle class does..I don't see anything different here.

Anonymous said...

That is exactly the whole point of his running... he got rich because capitalism works... he wants to show people how to make capitalism work for them too...

He wants to help people by making the economy work like it is suposed to and they can have a shot at becoming rich too!

If you followed Romney you would know that... He has said it numerous times... you should be able to get the shorthand version by now without coniptionfits...

What is wrong with you people?

Well, first, you have never actully listened to him have you?

That is why it is so easy for you to take a sentence and make it a mole hill...

He's going to be your President... he has really great ideas and solutions... you really should start listening to him instead of trying to find some tiny little slip you can make sound bad...

Fixing the economy is helping the99%... weirdos. It is a main plank of the campaign.

Publius Nemo said...

I am tired of the flip-flop comments. There hasn't been a flip-flop in his career. Flip-flop suggest that you take one side only to take another and then back to the other side with changing political motives. If anything you could get away saying Romney has flipped. As with most Americans Romney has become more conservative with age and experience. Once he was pro life he remained so. How is that a flip-flop as suggested in some of these comments? A gradual trend towards more and more conservative thought is not a flip-flop.

Lionhead said...

Anon, "He's going to be your President... he has really great ideas and solutions... you really should start listening to him instead of trying to find some tiny little slip you can make sound bad..."

Going to call you on projection of your thoughts. No one on earth can make a statement on that, including Nancy Pelosi. Stop the mental tricks please.

You obviously reacted here without listening to the You Tube video to get a better grasp on the US financial & political situation. I suggest you take 5 minutes to review it.

If/when the US collapses, Mitt may have wished he kept his overseas accounts to protect his capital. Did you not hear?

"Update: the Senate has failed to reject a bid to stop the debt ceiling hike with a simple 52 vote majority all of it along party lines. The US now has $16.4 trillion in debt capacity as of Friday. Since roughly $100 billion was plundered from Pension Funds in the past month, The US will have about $15.4 trillion in debt with the Monday DTS. The question then is how long will the $1 trillion in debt capacity last: at $125 billion/month it won't be enough to carry the US past the election without another massive debt ceiling spectacle."

Events are overtaking you.

Graham said...

RWN logs in to change the picture, but still hasn't addressed the fallacy of the article's claim.

Meh. That's about what I expect from you anyway, bro.

Anonymous said...

RW, I feel for you. I really do! Continue on, my friend, do what you have to do.

Hard to see how Newt recovers now though, barring some fantastic, unlikely Mitt implosion, and Newt hitting it out of the park tonight like never before. Not impossible, but extremely unlikely.

The long national 2 week Newt nightmare is almost over, and the dawn is upon us. I couldn't be happier.

It's not a done deal, but PDQ.

Oh, that last PDQ was supposed to be Pretty Darn Close. Ha ha.

RW, picking up chatter on some election results, past & present. This deserves attention if proven true. The polling data may be used to shape perceptions, but the polling results might be adjusted. All in the Saul Alinsky Chicago traditions.

"The clues are clear but only to the alert observers. In year 2000, for the first time a gross inconsistency showed itself as an anomaly. The exit polls in Florida and Ohio did not match the election results at the local level. For a full generation, the correlation had been over 90%, as it should be, since people exiting a voting center reveal their votes with consistency. This is the left hand and the right hand coinciding genetically with the same human standing before the clipboard recording the exit poll. The lapdog subservient US press reported the anomaly as people changing their minds, or not admitting to the clipboard their actual voting preference. Numerous statistical studies showed the anomalies in colored form, to expose Florida and Ohio for its voting system fraud. Yet another blatant fraud has infected the American landscape. This is a far cry from legions of dead people rallying to vote for Kennedy in Chicago during the 1960 election, with the forces marshalled by Mayor Daley. History has repeated, as 1000 dead people voted in the South Carolina primary in one city alone. My guess is the dead people voted for Gingrich. The season started in Iowa, where Ron Paul had a nice steady lead for the few weeks leading into the caucus. Then suddenly Santorum came out of nowhere to share the win with Romney. Paul finished a lowly third. The Santorum crowds were small except for his victory speech. Could it be that the outsourced vote count took 10% to 12% of the Paul vote and put it in the Santorum bin? Then in New Hampshire, where vote fraud is much more difficult due to hand counted ballots, a reality check came. Santorum finished way down the line. Move on to South Carolina, where again Ron Paul shared the lead position in the polls. But on the primary day, again Paul finished again a lowly third. We are told Gingrich won, and justified by having his home state so nearby. Yet Gingrich had to cancel a couple campaign stops due to lack of attendance. Ooops! Could it be that the outsourced vote count took 10% to 12% of the Paul vote and put it in the Gingrich bin?

In a recent article, the Jackass remarked that the US presidential election process was another controlled process subject to outsourcing. The patterns of software changing votes by Diebold loyalists have matured into bolder block changes without transparency, but such thoughts might be entirely errant. The blatant maneuvering of voting process fraud will be more clear by the November confrontation. My contacts back in the states include an Afro-American lady with a big base of black business contacts. They do not favor Obama anymore, wondering aloud who he is and what benefits ever came to the black community. Busloads of urban votes from the Acorn tree might not be able to conceal what comes in the fraudulent process. Heck, vote rigging is just one more Third World characteristic, hardly unexpected. My thought in December 2008 was that Obama would fill two important cabinet positions, the rest did not matter in my view. My forecast was for Goldman Sachs to occupy the Treasury Secretary post, and for Gates to continue as Secy Defense. Control of the USDollar and US Banks was too vital to put in the hands of somebody who required on the job training. Control of the military projects was also too vital to put in civilian hands, including the critical wealth generation out of Afghanistan, whose sticky product had clearing house function in the Iraq Export Bank in Baghdad (run by JPMorgan), with lines feeding Wall Street for their cut. Both forecasts turned true. The other cabinet appointments meant little. The Secretary of State has become an important attack dog, to be sure."

I will looking at this closely as I have noticed the same anomolies along the way.

Machtyn said...

Diebold voting machines need to be opened up. And by opened up, I mean the software and hardware. We need to have a public, open source accountability of the software and the hardware for these machines to be trusted.

It has been proven over and over that these machines are technically hackable. The amount of time it takes can be a few minutes or much longer.

The interesting thing I take from the above is the 1000 dead people voting. That is still the bigger problem, dead people and out-of-district voters. Granted, the 1000 in this particular district would not have given any of the candidates any more of a chance, but it is still disturbing.

Anonymous said...

here's your problem RWN. Mitt and Ann Romney HAVE class, the Gingrich's? Not so much. :)

Ellie

Lionhead said...

Amen, Machtyn. We need to have full, free, fair elections. If not, then we have nothing.

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how."

Joseph Stalin

The Iowa vote tally is the case in point. If SC was 'rigged' then one might think FL will be also. Again, our MSM is asleep. Pravda in disquise. So, all pollsters here, scrutinize those exit polls.

This post is pious baloney!!!

Romney is right, you want to know who is playing class warfare? The guy who is attacking Mitt Romney's success in free enterprise, attacking Romney's wealth from being successful in the private sector who tries to play himself as an "average Joe", that guy is Newt Gingrich. Dont forget Mr Gingrich himself is a wealthy millionaire, the difference is Romney made his riches in the private sector, while Mr Newt "Reagan basher" Gingrich got rich in goverment as a politician/lobbyist.

Wow, very dumb post. About what we'd expect from the Nut from Minnesota. Hard hitting, deep stuff that is powerful on so many levels...amazing work :)

Mittisit said...

He said the 1% are doing fine meaning he's not worried about them....he didn't say that they were a bad group of people like the left is saying....

Anonymous said...

This is why you guys can support a commie like Newt and not even realize he's a commie.

You don't understand what class warfare means...

You can't say something is class warfare just cause it has percents in it... you have to have one group taking advantage of the other and some one winning and losing... and vitriol and all of that...

You know like Newt saying the government should control the profits of companyies and give the little guy more money than the market would and take away the money from the brains of the company because they are too rich anyway... You know... the stuff Gingrich says, that is class warfare... and the stuff Obama says about the rich taking advantage of the government and not paying enough, even though they pay more than half... that is class warfare....

Not being worried about the rich... that well that is just not being worried... that isn't like they are the bad guys doing something to hurt the little guy... just not worried...

This actually explains why you think Newt is smart... you don't actually understand what people are saying do you?

Anonymous said...

OH yeah and most of the Newt supporter comments where you talk about the bad rich guy Romney... that is class warfare too.

But saying you aren't worried isn't.

Slick-Willy said...

RWN... you're such a worthless wind bag. But your disingenuous rhetoric does give me a chuckle now and then, so I guess you're only mostly worthless.
