So Last time Romney ran he described wealth inequality this way:
Quote:
"I think its about envy, I think its about class warfare"
Quote:
Asked if “questions about the distribution of wealth” are fair or unfair, “I think it’s fine to talk about those things in quiet rooms,” Romney said, adding that for Obama to make this a campaign issue is “envy-oriented.”
Suddenly its time to look at the 2016 election and:
Quote:
“Under President Obama the rich have gotten richer, income inequality has gotten worse and there are more people in poverty in American than ever before,” Mr. Romney said.
Apparently even the Republican candidates are talking is if they think wealth inequality is a issue. But who believe someone like Romney, or even Clinton? Its a issue all right...but not one I believe they intend to address in any real fashion.

I don't, either. Hillary is a poor choice for a Democrat. But, if the election were between Hillary and some raving lunatic reactionary, I'd pick Hillary.

It is surprising to me that Mitt is considering running again. I think Romney shouldn't run. He is used goods after 2 losses and his 47% comment will forever haunt him.

I think the GOP has history regarding multiple losers and then winning the presidency. Third time's the charm. Mitt is going to be elected, most likely, if he's the only non-RWNJ that's running with name credibility

I couldn't stop laughing when I read that Romney's new campaign was going to be based on anti-poverty. He must truly think Americans are idiots if he believes they will buy such tripe from a guy who made his fortune by buying up companies, sucking out all the assets and leaving people without jobs or pensions, and discarding the empty carcass before moving on to the next one.

Romney running an anti-poverty campaign. If one didn't know better, one would swear it was an article from The Onion. What unbelievable audacity.

Run Mitt, run!!

First, because it will be endless amusing.

Second, he will spend a lot of money. This will be a Billion dollar plus election. It will give a good shot in the arm to the economy this year.

We don't know who is running yet or their platforms, so I'm not sure how you can claim all the other republican candidates are RWNJs, an inflammatory, derogatory term.

Hmm...a lot of arguments being made lately that the Republicans have been losing their presidential elections because candidates haven't been far right enough. Some of the most vocal Republican base has been screaming this. And I think that making the Republican primaries will require someone too far right to win a general election unless the Democrats field someone awful. (I consider Clinton to be in this vein, although maybe she will surprise me).

Sounds like the man who has car elevators is trying to get that vote from the 47%.
