I think E.J. Dionna may have just coined a new meme.

[gkhouston]

He just characterized Romney's "budget" as "math on meth".

on edit: I'm watching The Rachel Maddow Show.

1. He noticed Romney spoke about keeping the 'share' the wealthy paid the same...

Is that Romney doublespeak? I don't quite understand..

[Qutzupalotl]

2. Romney says he's for closing "loopholes"

which I think means the negative space that surrounds reality. So, yes, doublespeak.

[gkhouston]

3. This was apparently the exact same thing Bush said during the 2000 debates.

Yeah, the details of that escaped me, too, but the gist I got was that there's a way that the rich can game the system such that they could pay the same "share" yet still have the tax cuts. It was doublespeak.

Can anyone on DU explain this, please?

5. Thank you...Romney is so sneaky...

It's disturbing..

10. Bush-43 was a moron, drunk and with nothing pointing to successful achievements

Romney is more dangerous because he never even drinks alcohol. He is a chameleon and will say anything convenient du jour. He is etch a sketch par excellence. He has honed smooth sales presentation skills over 25 years in business world.

Romney has 2 vulnerabilities. 1-Mormon religion 2-He is top 1%. Those are his Achilles heels. Attack attack attack only on those 2 issues and Obama wins.

8. He's used that phrasing for a while now.

My problem with it is if the rich are paying x % of the taxes now with y % of the income, keeping their share of the taxes the same while they get a higher and higher share of the income will mean the rest of us will have to pay more taxes with less income.

Of course R/R will claim they can't tell us how they'll do that until after the get elected.

7. It should catch on..something has to

hold him accountable for all his Lies and Lies.

9. It is a shell game isn't it? Round and round we go where we stop.....nobody knows.
