Mitt Romney (Rmoney) is an asshole...

[tenderfoot]

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

2. He made his fortune killing the jobs of the people who are going to breathlessly vote for him as if

he is the 2nd coming.

A society of citizens that dumb wont survive their dumbness.

3. True.

And he'll likely be the next senator from Utah.

4. These types sometimes suffer some major setback that reverses their outlook.

Does not happen very often.

I have seen one such event. He had his eyes opened to the greed of capitalists such as Romney.

After many decades of being underpaid and screwed he was offered double pay to stay in the job. Eye opener number one.

He took the new job elsewhere for a few years at decent pay but was then told he was no longer needed (by a newly appointed young smartarse son of the owner).

After a few months hunting for a replacement that could not be found he was asked to stay (the same smartarse son). Then they tried to double his workload. Managing two huge workplaces. No pay rise either.

He left shortly afterwards. Retired.
