Wednesday Night Video – Joe Soptic v. Mitt Romney

August 8, 2012 by Leave a comment

The sad part about this Priorities USA ad decrying Mitt Romney’s vulture capitalism is how many people celebrate an economy with these kinds of job losses and catastrophic lack of health care. To me, the key insight comes in Joe Soptic’s very last sentence.

JOE SOPTIC: I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he has done to anyone. And I — furthermore, I do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.

Oh, and the Romney response to Soptic’s story? Joe Soptic should have lived in Massachusetts because Massachusetts has an awesome health care mandate.

Politifact on Harry Reid (on Mitt Romney)

Too Hot to Handle

Pants on Fire!

–Politifact.com, 8/6/12, about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

We never said “lie.” We said Reid provided no evidence and our reporting found no evidence.

–Politifact tweet, 8/7/12

We remarked that his pants were on fire,
But did not mean that Reid was a liar.
That’s distortion; the fact’s
That the senator’s slacks
Are a style that we really admire.
