    What's more disturbing, Romney's statement yesterday or the fact that none of the seven other candidates on stage with him last night brought up this horrendous gaffe?

    "I'm on Social Security."

    "Good."

    "I'm on medicare."

    "Great program. We ought to keep them."


    The man sounds like a rolling sound byte machine complete with a teethy grin.

    If it is Romney vs. Obama, I won't vote. Utter waste of energy.


    And make no mistake - the corporates, depending on whose campaign they finance - are telling them what's going to happen regardless of what they say. They own them, courtesy of those donations.

    So, let me see if I get this straight. Corporations are allowed to merge with each other. That could be seen as a marriage. But gays aren't?

    Gay has about as much to do with this thread as Romney's faith with Southern Baptists.

    "Guns don't kill people, corporations kill people" - Mitt Romney

    "We the Corporations of the United States in order to form a more perfect union..." -- Mitt Romney rewriting the preamble to the Constitution

    I can't wait until Mittens gets credit for all the jobs he created at Bain Capital.

    Oh, wait, his company's investments killed jobs? Well, you can forgive that, what with corporations being only human.

    Gays are people. Corporations are people. Yet, in all states, only one is allowed to legally merge.

    Baron, this analogy isn't quite as bad as the car, but you're driving it off a cliff nonetheless.

    Mitt Romney tells corporations, "It gets better."
