Change the tone? Start with Republicans


Mitt Romney feigned indignance about Joe Biden's remarks.  This is so much fake baloney. 

Well, here's the article.  Romney tells Obama to change the tone of the campaign now

Here's a quote:

"In some of his harshest words yet against the president, Romney said Obama was "running just to hang onto power, and I think he would do anything in his power" to remain in office. Romney's comments escalated an already acrimonious campaign fueled by negative and sometimes false advertisements, as well as personal insults from the candidates and their surrogates."

Aww, poor poor piddyful Mitty.  Here's my unfiltered response.

1.  He's running to keep a no-principles opportunist candidate like you out of office.

2. He's running to make sure the Congressional GOP doesn't run the country into catastrophe, because if you're elected, you'll be a rubber stamp for Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell, and you proved it by selecting Ryan as your Veep candidate.

3. You would lie on any issue and flip-flop on any position to enhance your appeal  to voters to get INTO power.  How do we know? That's what you've already done - your track record is obvious, and documented.  Still don't know what's causing climate change, even though you used to know?

4. What are you hiding in the tax returns you won't release?  It might be totally legal, but totally shocking that your hidden offshore assets, holding companies, tax shelters, tax loopholes, and everything else that a well paid legal and accounting staff can come up with mean that you've paid something like 10% on your corporate winnings, unlike the 28% or 35% that us normal folks are paying.

5.  I have a feeling that the Koch Brothers - Adelson funded advertisements that are getting ready to run in the fall will set a new low standard for lying about President Obama.

So buck it up, Mitt.  We don't buy it out here in reality land.
