A week later Romney is still a douchebag

My guess Mittens he won because he didn't insult half the country and didn't come across as a prick to normal middle class people.

Mitt: Obama won because of 'gifts'

http://www.politico.com/news/stories...#ixzz2CIgh0NOo

Mitt Romney told donors Wednesday he blamed last week’s loss to President Barack Obama in part to “gifts” the Obama administration gave to key voter blocs, including African Americans, Hispanics and young women, according to media reports.

“The president’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift — so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars,” Romney said on a conference call with donors, the Los Angeles Times first reported.

The “gifts,” according to Romney, included forgiving college loan interest, free contraceptive coverage and the part of Obamacare that allows people 26 and younger to be covered under their parents’ health care plans.

“You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you’re now going to get free healthcare, particularly if you don’t have it, getting free healthcare worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity. I mean, this is huge,” Romney said, the New York Times reported.

“Likewise with Hispanic voters, free healthcare was a big plus,” Romney added. “But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group.”

That did not seem to hurt Obama so I agree that is a poor excuse~

That's right. You get what you reward. Reward non-production you get less. Then more govt takeovers are necessary. That's how the Fabians are working it.

Look, the campaign season is over. Mitt is no longer a candidate for president. You guys are beating a dead horse. Now it's time to focus on the real president.

Ya' know the guy that can really do stuff to us and our wallets.

No. I was laughing at his intelligent contribution.

Subtract white people that are on food-stamps and also voted for Romney and his "entitled victims" schtick would have made sense.

Jindal isn't done smacking Mittens around.

I just wish Jindal had said this during the campaign when Romney insulted half the country

Bobby Jindal isn’t done excoriating Mitt Romney for attributing Obama’s win to the president’s offer of “free stuff” for Democratic voters. On Thursday, the Louisiana governor told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the former nominee was “completely unhelpful” in his remarks.

“This is not where the Republican party needs to go,” he said. “Look, If you want voters to like you, the first thing you’ve got to do is to like them first. And it’s certainly not helpful to tell voters that you think their votes were bought.”

A few Republicans are starting to get "it". It's going to be interesting if the republicans try to wrest the Republican party back to the middle from the lurch to the right the last 4 years.

Sounds like it. Even Rubio came out today and disagreed albeit in a nice way with Romney.

Maybe if the guy didn't give away millions every year to charity I might smiley you back.

Calling a guy a douchebag when in reality he has helped thousands is on you, not him.

Yes, he gives millions to charity. Mainly to the Mormon church but he does seem to be a good man. But, even good men can be a douch from time to time. Good men have egos and don't see their mistakes. Sometimes good men displace.

Good men does not equal saints.

I can't help it his cult forces him to donate 10%. He should join a different one.

Why only up to 1 million?

What government subsidies do you think you should give up, btw?
