Pine Belt Progressive

First up: Mitt Romney!!!

His electoral strategy is to wow the ladies with his sex appeal. (via Echidne).

This guy thinks Mitt is a bigot. I haven’t paid enough attention to Mitt to know that for sure. But I do know he’s used racist language in a speech. To be fair, he later apologized, but the apology made it clear that he’s so secluded from the real world he didn’t realize his statement was offensive.

It seems he has had some very questionable financial dealings.

A company Romney co-founded owns Clear Channel, which everyone knows is a part of the right-wing noise machine and is opposed to free speech.
He said he supported reproductive freedom for most of his political career, but now he’s anti-choice. Is he simply pandering to the right-wing base of the Republican party, or has he been lying to the people all along, as one of his advisers thinks? You’ll have to judge that for yourself.

He thinks French marriages only last for seven years, which isn’t true.

As if all this weren’t enough, he doesn’t think capturing Osama bin Laden is worth the time and money it would take to do it.

Mitt Romney: He thinks women base their votes on looks. He’s so out of touch with the public he doesn’t know “tar baby” is considered a racist expression. He plays the same games with money all the other Republicans play. He won’t give us his honest take on reproductive freedom. He has a stake in a company that doesn’t want you to have first amendment rights. AND, he’s soft on terror.

GO MITT!!!!

this is part 1 of an occasional series.

UPDATE: Hilarity.
