Gotta admit I'm mostly "meh" about all the 47% quotes that have come out of the whole Leaking Mitt Romney incident.
(Hmm, #LeakingMittRomney"... now THAT'S a meme.)
The Republicans, frankly, are going to be more than happy to have the misguided, pack-full-of-lies, assholio, make up the facts "public sector/private sector" debate.
But the following quote, from this morning, regarding Israel and Palestine, is where the real gold lies...
"I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there's just no way."
[S]o what you do is, you say, you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem…and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.
That's a policy?
"...kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen.."
Well, YES that's the policy on LOTS of things.
How to solve the economic crisis?
Give tax cuts to the richest Americans... don't pay for any of it... and when asked how the math works: "kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen..." that will get us back on track.
How to deal with the problem of health care?
Go back to the broken system we had before... fuck over all the people with pre-existing conditions... give the power back to the insurance companies and "...kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen..." to help the millions of uninsured.
How to get us out of Afghanistan?
Remove the time table... commit to a indefinite stay and "...kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen..." that will indicate we can come home?
We're back to Faith Based Political Strategy.
"...somehow, something will happen..."
I mean... you want to stick it to Romney/Romney... put out a couple of bumper stickers:
Romney/Ryan: Kicking The Ball Down The Field.
Or
The Romney/Ryan Plan: Somehow, Something Will Happen.
