Epic Fail

Last edited Sat Nov 10, 2012, 03:33 PM - Edit history (1)







***************

ATTN: Mitt Romney you shouldn't have cut off your campaign staff's credit cards right after you gave your
concession speech ........ people can be bitter after you leave them stranded w/ no money in the middle
of the night. Say some I.T. person might know of your transition team's web site and is bitter @ you
........ BTW Mitt your history is so toxic you have to write about your Dad and your Mom? Epic Fail!

The country really dodged a bullet.

p.s.: The only question now is, who'll play the role of Willard Mitt in the inevitable HBO movie? Someone on his pissed off staff obviously belongs to the 47%.

Fail fail fail. No wonder you played defense in the 3rd debate, Mitt. I remember Ed Kilgore tweeted that Romney must have been sitting on some good internals to be that defensive, but I couldn't believe it since Obama was leading in the state polls. We were both right.

He and the rest of the GOP underestimated the will of the American people by assuming they had a lock on the election because they had so much money and means to manipulate.

That webpage is actually really scary and thank heavens it didn't happen.

Call your parents. Because no one without parents of means would be such a weenie as to work for the Romney campaign. Oh, and by the way, if you worked your ass off for Romney, you still weren't invited to his victory party. Can't have the serfs mixing with the nobility.

Robbedme had offices and team in place in D.C. since August on the public dime getting ready to take over.
It would be the same if the incumbent were a Recon.
