Michael Tomasky on How the GOP Invented Mitt Romney’s “Moochers”
Michael Tomasky:
.. One of the things that really gets me is hearing people say things like, I voted for Obama because I hoped hed be able to unite the country, and he hasnt, and Im very disappointed by that.
.. this is like blaming Sharon Tate for failing to make peace with Charles Manson. The Republicans operate from a mindset of wanting to crush and destroy the Democrats, and I bring this up today because the debate over the freeloading 47 percent is as good an exhibit as exists with which to make the case
..
.. its Obamas fault that the tone in Washington hasnt changed? It may have been idealistic and naive of him to promise it, but at least he tried, and Ill take idealistic and naive over dishonest and cynical. Its a sad thing to say, but the country will be united only when the liars and cynics see that their tactics no longer work.
