Romney channeling the con man in Music Man

DUer riverwalk made that very profound comment on another thread, it struck me as so appropriate because what the GOP always does is create these fake "problems" (like PBS, or Saddams WMD) and dupe rubes into a frenzy over it!

Apologies to Robert Preston and acknowledging Romney is completely devoid of his charm and talent, but seriously! PBS starts with P and that rhymes with T, trouble trouble trouble....

Excuse me but PBS is a VERY cheap and good investment for the taxpayers, and creates more jobs in the private sector and more GOOD PRODUCT than Mitt every has in his vulture capital career. It's simply a problem in the way POOL is a problem. He is a con man straight up.

And I must include this clip here because politics aside IT IS AWESOME.

unaccounted for, that have disappeared in the Middle East and Eurasia due to wars. How about the billions spent in the industrial military complex also for military hardware we will never use? Honestly, the military/industrial complex is where the waste is and it's not being spent on our cannon fodder or military personnel and vets who could use some of that money. They too are being targeted by the GOP for spending cuts.
