Please list the organizations who were denied their tax-exempt status. And the binders full of women was funny; no one took it any more seriously than it sounded really funny and played into Romney's awkward attempts to connect with people.

You know you've fallen down the bizarre-o world hole when you get the right defending a corrupt Democratic politician like Menendez because it plays into their unrelenting hatred of the president.
Sure, so why did the left wing media go on and on and on about "binders of women". Because they knew it was reaching a bunch of useful idiots.

So Romney is awkward but at least he didn't make his money lying to the public.

Because binders of women is funny. Sorry if that escapes those with no sense of humor. And yeah, it played into Romney's awkwardness. I won't go into how Romney made his money because that would derail the thread, but it wasn't very principled or ethical, either.

He got played by Reid. He knew it. Reid knew it. And so did the voters.

Romney spending money to campaign to the 47% would be like Romney coming here on CD and trying to convince you to vote for him. It would be a waste.

Well, that's tough, because when you are the president of the United States of America that means you are the president for every American, not just the half that you like. That's what Romney was offering--to be the president for only half of Americans. As for the rest, as he so succinctly put it, "my job is not to worry about those people."

And you wonder why the majority rejected him?

And why you'll never be wealthy. You don't understand advertising to where it could potentially have the most benefit. You don't advertise where people's minds are made up.

Obama attacks success, but those aren't Americans right?... American citizens are all failures if we go by your thinking.

Romney spending money to campaign to the 47% would be like Romney coming here on CD and trying to convince you to vote for him. Your minds were and still are made up and it would be a waste.

You're right, it would be a waste. Well over that 47 percent of Americans he denigrated so glibly rejected him pretty soundly in November of 2012 in response. And he knew they would reject him again, which is why he decided against a run in 2016.

Well over half the country doesn't ever want to see him in the Oval Office. Good.

Hence, the 47% comment. A man who knows how to use money effectively and not waste it on people who's minds are made up. The potential donors knew that campaigning to people who's minds are made up would be a waste of their money too. Don't waste it where it will not do any good. Of course the left wing media knows you don't know any better.

Barack Hussane Obama hates my guts and I hate his, he isen't my president.

Hence, a man who only wants to be president for half the population ends up being president for no one.
