At this point I'd be absolutely shocked if there wasn't existing footage of Romney stating the exact opposite of whatever thing he's attacking Obama for.

"[A]t some point, you say, you know, 'what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,'" Romney told reporters in May.

I like the bit about Romney attacking Kennedy on taxes and using offshore tax havens.

Democrats sure are getting their panties in a wad about Obama's little speech and that the republicans (spit! spit!) are making hay out of it.

You know, if Obama had NEVER said it, we would still be talking about the "Romney is the scum of the earth because of _____" topic of the week.

The only thing funnier than this is when the democrats went all rabid on Joe the plumber (who isn't a plumber) for asking a question that was answered honestly. The one that I read that made me lol was that he was a republican plant and forced himself on Obama so he could pop the question knowing how it would be answered.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but bringing up Michael Phelps as an example is kind of dumb, considering his training was not "community funded."

He started seriously training at age 10 at North Baltimore Aquatic Club, then moved to the University of Michigan. Neither of those is "community funded" as the KosKids would like us to believe.

Until somehow, someway a few days before the election every house in the South receives a pamplet with CD claiming to support Romney and telling them all about the lovely things of his like how he wants to ban guns, ban porn, ban beer, and wants to convert them all to Mormons. Such an unfortunate delivery...

What I can't understand is all the bootstrappy folks who

1) Claim they are solely responsible for their success and ignore the help they got from family, friends, and government supported infrastructure and programs.

2) Thank God for their success.
