And they feel that they should be the ones to lecture you about your morals when in their hearts they are more selfish and devoid of morals than anyone. And despite the fact that President Obama has been a huge disappointment and should be held accountable for his failings since elected these are the last folks who should ever hold anyone in account for anything.
Yes, no matter which circus freak emerges from Iowa and the rest of the Republican primary we will get one thing. Uncaring policies that constantly seek to further enrich the very few at the expense of the rest of us and these people have shown that absolutely nothing is sacred to them in their quest for greed and the power it produces not even women, children, the elderly and yes working families.
And to see that greed that festers in all of these Republicans to the point of being evil one need only look at their percieved "frontrunner" Mitt Romney. He is all full of righteous indignation when attacking Obama for the economy Republicans crashed and would not let him fix. Well, if he wanted to that is. But I digress to Mitt Romney in all his hypocritical glory:
With three days to go until the Jan. 3 caucuses, Romney gave a broad speech on the economy and avoided any mention of his primary opponents. Instead he attacked President Obama’s policies to strong applause in a wood-paneled room at the Stoney Creek Inn.
After asking who in the audience were small business owners, Romney said, “Sometimes I think the president doesn’t like you very much.” He promised to freeze all regulations implemented during Obama’s presidency and strike down any that would hurt the economy. He also guaranteed a repeal of “Obamacare.”
“These last three years have been tough for a lot of people,” he said. “You know that. I think this is a detour, not a destination, for America.”

So, Romney is actually telling you that all he wants is a return to the policies that crashed the economy to begin with. More income inequality, less rights and safety for workers and no healthcare if you are poor or sick. The only thing Obama has really been able to accomplish because of folks like Mitt Romney and all these freaks on the Republican side is an extension of less extreme versions of their own failed policies.
And what does Mitt Romney and all of his "competitors" really want?? They want to stick it to anyone who refuses to work for nothing or kiss their golden-plated asses:
Speaking to reporters tonight in Des Moines, Iowa, a worker laid off by a company owned by Bain Capital accused former Bain Capital CEO and current Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of being “out of touch” with the concerns of average Americans. Randy Johnson and more than 250 of his fellow workers at a Marion, Indiana American Pad and Paper (AMPAD) facility lost their jobs after Bain decided to close the plant amid a labor dispute. Johnson, who noted that he personally reached out to Romney during the labor dispute, said, “I really think [Romney] didn’t care about the workers. It was all about profit over people.” In addition to the layoffs and eventual bankrupting of AMPAD, Bain Capital under Romney’s leadership drove several other firms into bankruptcy and caused thousands of layoffs.

Yes as it turns out Mitt Romney represents the failed, selfish, hypocritical Republican vision which has waged war on American workers for generations. Only now they just do it openly without fear of retribution:
– In 1992, the firm acquired American Pad & Paper. By 1999, the year Romney left Bain, two American plants were closed, 385 jobs had been cut and the company was $392 million in debt. The next year, Ampad was forced into bankruptcy.
– Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs bought Dade International for about $450 million in 1994. The firm quickly fired or relocated at least 900 workers. Over the next several years, it sunk increasingly into debt and laid off 1,000 workers. In 2002 — after Romney had left Bain — it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
– A 1997 buyout of LIVE Entertainment for $150 million resulted in 40 layoffs, roughly one in four of the company’s 166 workers. The job cuts affected all aspects of the company, from production and acquisition to legal and public relations.
– In 1997, Bain bought a stake in DDI Corp., a maker of electronic circuit boards. Three years later, Bain took the company public and collected a $36 million payout. But by August 2003, the company filed for bankruptcy protection, laying off more than 2,100 workers.

So that is why Mitt Romney is the right man to lead this Republican freakshow. They will take your job, sink your business, take your healthcare, and pocket the profits. Then they will try to convince you that Jesus said you should just learn to live with it.
If America allows this traveling freakshow in the White House again then God help us all.
