Lawrence O'Donnell goes off on Romney and Mormons

OK Larry, now tell us what you really think.

The complete Mitt Romney "I love Jesus too!" Religion Speech from 12/06/07.

From TMP:

A spokesman for the Mitt Romney campaign is thus far refusing to say whether Romney sees any positive role in America for atheists and other non-believers, after Election Central inquired about the topic yesterday

It's a sign that Romney may be seeking to submerge evangelical distaste for Mormonism by uniting the two groups together in a wider culture war. Romney's speech has come under some criticism, even from conservatives like David Brooks and Ramesh Ponnuru, for positively mentioning many prominent religions but failing to include anything positive about atheists and agnostics.

Indeed, the only mentions of non-believers were very much negative. "It is as if they're intent on establishing a new religion in America – the religion of secularism. They're wrong," Romney said, being met by applause from the audience.

I actually thought it was a pretty good speech. Don't get me wrong, I still think he's a total douchebag and disagree with almost all of his points, most of which I found offensive to my very ethos, but as speeches go, it wasn't that bad.

Mitt Romney's is Countdown's "Worst Person In The World"

From Crooks and Liars:

Columnist and FOXNews regular, Charles Krauthammer, won the Bronze award on Countdown’s Worst Person in the World segment on Wednesday, for his misrepresentation of the recent non-embryonic stem cell discovery, claiming President Bush’s ban made it possible — which is a total fabrication. BillO gets the Silver for his latest War On Christmas segment where he chided a woman who is trying to take the commercialization out of Christmas, and Gold went to Mitt Romney for doing his best Donald Trump by abruptly firing the landscaping company that worked at his mansion after being called out for it by Rudy Giuliani in the last Republican debate. Now that’s one classy guy…

Willard "Mitt" Romney is Spending $85,000 a Day on TV Ads.

From CNN:

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has spent $10.2 million on television advertising this year -- a record amount at this point in a presidential campaign -- according to new data provided to CNN.

Romney is spending more than $85,000 a day -- $600,000 last week alone -- on campaign commercials, according to TNSMI/Campaign Media Analysis Group, CNN's consultant on political television advertising spending.

His presidential campaign commercials have aired more than 14,500 times.

The closest Republican to Romney in ad spending is Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who has aired more than $300,000 worth of campaign ads.

Wow! Willard, $85,000 a day? Huh? That'll get you a lot of extra cheese on your Whopper. This little bit of info comes fresh of the results of the latest Iowa poll, too, look like another rough week for the big guy. That strategy of focusing all of your efforts (and obviously a lot of cash) on the early states may not be paying off after all? Huh, Willard?

Mitt Romney's Hugs Hooter's Girls, While Shilling Family Values.

I (almost) feel bad for ole' Willard. He probably has no idea what a Hooter's girl is, other than some place he isn't allowed to go. This moron is just totally out of touch with the general populace. I wonder if he knows this? Does he think that he is in touch with the average American? If he knows that he is a total phoney, does that make it any better?
