    - Could you guys go easy on me today? My car elevator broke and I’m super bummed about it.

    - So if you flip-flop twice, it cancels out, right?

    - What tax returns? I deal with the IRS the same way I deal with poor people – ignore ‘em.

    As I said in July to the people whose votes I want, I support a two solution between Israel and the Palestinians. And as I said in May to people who paid $50,000 each for dinner with me, I think a two state solution is unthinkable. A two state solution is only right when it’s one state for robber barons and another state for steerage rabble.

    Just when you think this guy could not say anything more off the cuff and off in the deep end and boy he says something like this.
    Well the good news is this guy is not winning in Nov. and the star that the GOP attached itself to (the far right)is going over the cliff which at the end of the day is not such a bad thing.
    Makes one wonder what comes next? I bet many comedy writers are waiting with pen in hand.

    All those stupid insensitive out of touch statements, those foreign policy gaffes, those foot in mouth moments and flip flops that define my candidacy……I did that myself!!!

    Yom Kippur, Schmom Kippur!! Go atone for yourselves you losers…we sneering plutocrats can do what we please, and besides, as a Mormon I believe God changed his mind about black people in 1978, so who’s to say he hasn’t changed his mind about moneychangers and rich men getting into heaven? I’ll bet ten thousand dollars that he has…

  15. Warren | September 18, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    Oh I wish I wasn’t such an arrogant weiner,
    That’s what focus groups say not to be.
    But ‘though I’m such a lying arrogant weiner,
    Hey you losers, you still should vote for me!!

    “geeze steve c, does dano pay you piece-work? at least when I got paid piece-work, quality mattered as well. ohhh, now I get it! quality posts don’t matter to libs…it’s volumn which counts”!

    “speaking of that 47 percent, I know not too many of’em can figure out how to get to the polls, so heck, they can go eat cake”!

    “you know, when I get the other 53%, and we take control of the senate and increase our hold on the house, well, golly, that’ll be a sunny good day for America! Then we slash and burn the tax loop holes, slash and burn those who attack our soverign property and citizens abroad, and slash and burn the energy generation policies of the EPA, and slash and burn the job-killing policies of the OBAMA administration! Great day in the morning, I’m looking forward to ALL of that! and, the only downside to that good day is that the libs will benefit as well, but heck, I think all Americans should prosper, even those that are blinded by government largess and misguided by soothsayers, and support the palestinians”.

  49. dave | September 18, 2012 at 10:12 pm

    I just don’t understand why you freeloqders don’t take control of your lives. Heck, just go borrow somwe money from your parents , buy a house,
    and become a vulture capitalist. If I can do it, anybody can.

  51. Warren | September 19, 2012 at 2:17 am

    I say, Lovey, be a dear and help me choose something to read…

    Let’s see, “Little Women”, “Valley of the Dollars”, “Diary of Ain’t Frank”, hmmm…

    …Or there’s also “Tuesdays With Tory”, “Little House On The Private Island”, “Rich Men Will Own Mars, Women Inconvenience”, “Fifty Trades A Day”, “The Hitchhikers Guide To The Swiss Banking System”, “The Hunger Games”, “Yen and The Art of Foreign Account Maintenance”, “Lying For The Lord Of The Flies”, “The Joy Of Cooking The Books”, “Sophistry’s Choice”…

    Or maybe the classic Greek tea party writers Hypocryties and Testicles?

    Oh, I know! How about the latest revision of my autobiography, the one written by that blah fellow Santorum recommended that I hire. What was his name? Booka Teaparty Washington, that’s it!…Yes, here it is: “Up From Privilege: the Thurston Howell The Fourth Story”.

    Splendid!!!

  52. Art Hill | September 19, 2012 at 3:51 am

    Have you seen my sex tape? That’s the one where I screw my campaign.

  54. dave | September 19, 2012 at 12:19 pm

    When I repeal Obamacare, I’m going to replqace it with common sense health care reform. One of our major problems is inadequate health care for men. I will require all private insurers to provide free circumsision
    for all men. And for my Jewish brthren, I will guarqntee that funds for free circumsision will be included in my aid package for Israel. (That should sew up the Jewish vote).

  55. Dan Casey | September 19, 2012 at 12:37 pm

    “I’ve been called a sneering plutocrat, Thurston Howell the fourth, and so on. And let me tell you, it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s impossible to sneer too hard at shiftless, lazy senior citizens, disabled veterans and working idiots who aren’t paying any federal income taxes because their earnings are too low. They deserve a lot worse than sneers, and let me tell you, when you elect me president, they’re going to get it!

    First, I’m going to tax their no-good asses. I’m going to raise federal income taxes to 60 percent of the first $10,000 of income, and there won’t be any tax on incomes over $100,000. You know what that will do? It’ll encourage those slobs to go at and work and earn MORE so they’ll move into those higher untaxed brackets. I call this ‘Mitt’s Tough-Love Approach to Taxation.”
