Tidbits and Cat Treats: Willard Video Round-Up

By Baxter

Sheesh, Willard Mitt Romney's post-"47 percent" polls are starting to roll in, and they're not looking good for him. To celebrate, we cats would like to add a few more observations on the "What Happens In Boca Doesn't Stay In Boca" video that is still rocking and rolling our political world.

The Republicans are desperately invoking the "bitter and clinging to their guns and religion" comment that President Obama made at a San Francisco fundraiser in early 2008. We cats would like to know the answer to a question nobody's asking: If then-Senator Obama committed such an egregious political error, why didn't Willard take notice and learn from the mistake?

Speaking of recordings, now the GOP has proudly dug up some audio of Barack Obama in 1998, talking about "redistribution" — a "gotcha" to Willard's 47-percent rant. Here's what we cats say to that: You want to talk about 1998? Fine. In 1998, Willard Mitt Romney had just lost a Senate election to Ted Kennedy and had a Massachusetts Governor's race in his near future. Which means that in 1998, Willard Mitt Romney was pro-choice, pro-gay rights, anti-NRA, and pro-individual mandate. Willard Mitt Romney in 1998? Bring him on!

You know what state should really be offended by Silly Willy's "dependent on government" remarks? Alaska. The Last Frontier's entire existence is made possible by federal subsidy and largesse. Alaska is 722,000 rugged individuals carving civilization from the wilderness with outstretched arms and open palms. Calling Sarah Palin!

Finally, remember how Ann Romney claimed awhile back that President Obama wanted to "destroy" Willard Mitt Romney? Sorry, Mrs. Dressage-Horse-Coupla-Cadillacs-and-Car-Elevator. Your hapless hubby is doing a perfectly good job of doing it himself.
