I agree. The right has reached the pique of desperation now that they realize they have a candidate that can't go, do or say anything without stepping into deep doo-doo.
The deep doo-doo is the doo-doo created by the media on the left.
Agreed, but the question is, why does Mitt keep stepping in it?
Everybody steps in it from time to time. If you know a perfect candidate please point that candidate out. Problem is some of the things are not even real gaffes some of them are just viewed as gaffes even though they are true. Second, Obama and Biden have made more gaffes that any other combination in history but your news service just chooses to ignore those.
Example. Top 10 gaffes listed by a web site
Ranked number 1 is Corporations are people. --Sorry but they are people. How is that a gaffe?
2 I like being able to fire people who provide services to me –This was taken out of context. He was talking about health insurance and being able to fire a health insurance company you don’t like and hiring a new one. But hey that was a huge gaffe.
3 I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there – This was a gaffe but was also taken out of context. He was simply stating that the rich are ok the poor already have a safety net and he is worried about helping the middle class. He said if the safety net is broken then he is for fixing it. Here I disagree with mitt as I think the safety net is broken and certainly needs fixing. We need to provide a way out of poverty not a safety net.
4 "He [Obama] says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people." —He is not wrong we have to stop trying to grow government. It is to big as it is.
5. "I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back." –out of context again
6. "It's hard to know just how well [the 2012 London Olympics] will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging." –all true so how is that a gaffe?
7. "I'll tell you what, ten-thousand bucks? $10,000 bet?" – I’ve done this before. Difference is he can probably afford the actual bet. But how is this a gaffe?
8. "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." —True statement. Sure he has millions but he technically is unemployed. Still not a gaffe though.
9. "[My wife] drives a couple of Cadillacs." –Probably true. Making the point he owns American made cars. Still not a gaffe though. Now if you want to go over Obama’s and Biden’s top gaffes be my guess.
