That implies working, for gawd's sake. One simply starts with money, and watches it grow.

Security! Please show this intruder out.

It's too late to get rid of him without totally losing everything. They just have to make lemonade as hard as they can.

I knew and predicted a few times that Romney would just double down on his lies.

Just a thought. Lately the big R's aren't thrilled with him lately. They see Obama hammering him, they are putting so much money, they're actually giddy about it. Now they're starting to think he can't win, what better time to throw him overboard and put someone else up before the convention. They are sneaky enough to do this. I don't know if I believe it, but it did go through my mind. And I am tired and hungry.

Both she and her background couldn't handle the scrutiny. Mitt doesn't come out well under scrutiny, but he has been running for president for quite a few years now and is a known quantity. It's not exactly a secret that he's misleading about his past or that he changes his positions to suit the situation.

Palin was a flashy new car that people had high hopes for, but turned out to be complete lemon. Romney's a crappy Buick and it's not all that surprising that it has yet another problem.

During the GOP primaries he said that four years ago, Palin stood out as the kook in the race. Now ALL the candidates are Sarah Palin. Seriously, which one of the bunch would have been any different?

I liked what Leno said on his show Tuesday:

"There's now a big controversy after a liberal group made a video saying Mitt Romney is too white for black people. Too white for black people? Mitt is too white for white people."

He is not a good speaker, comes with no energy, and is out of touch with the American public. He's trying to pretend to be this folksy, down-to-earth guy, but anyone with half a brain can see how fake the impression is. He's terrible at it.

Even his own party hates him. They feel like they lost already.

It's kind of like imagining one of the stuck-up executives at your company trying to convince you that they're this humble, down to earth guy, when everything about them screams "stuffy jerk."
