Lemon. Wet. Good.

By tmcbpatriot

What a week! First a move, then no Internet, and all during a non-stop summer heat wave. It's enough to make you crazy. So, I can really relate to what has been going on in the world of Mitt Romney.

Here is a quote from the Mittster from a few weeks ago while in New Hampshire:

"Get out and vote next year, this November, I mean!" said Romney, wiping beads of sweat off his brow. At one point, stopping to guzzle a glass of lemonade, Romney was asked how it tasted, to which he replied, "Lemon. Wet. Good."

That is a great quote, is it not? He really nailed it! I mean, can you describe lemonade any better? I don't think so. Maybe if he becomes president we can look forward to more of this. Perhaps he could go to Iran and say something like: "Nukes. Bad. War!" Or maybe when asked to show his complete tax returns, as presidents have been doing since the 1950s, Willard can simply reply "Taxes. Really? No!"

And as if that weren't funny enough, we have seen a ratcheting up of how Romney may have committed a felony by lying about his tenure at Bain. Of course Romney is not a felon, but it has been fascinating to watch pundits and journalists fall all over themselves to tell this story as if there were any room for doubt. Of course Romney was still involved with Bain after he claimed he left in 1999. Whom is he fooling? Why are we pretending there is any doubt about this? He founded the company and made gazillions from it. He expects us to believe he just walked away from it to run the Olympics?

Actually... Yes. He. Does.

Recall, this is a man who expects you to believe he likes grits, is unemployed, and expects to bring unemployment down nearly three whole percentage points during his first term alone! This from a Gordon Gekko archetype who wouldn't know a home-baked cookie from one stuck to his shoe.

We are to supposed to see Mitt Romney as some kind of folksy, down-home, honest businessman who wants to "fix" America. But don't you believe it for a second. He has never been that and never will be. The only thing he intends to "fix," if president, is his tax bracket and offshore bank accounts so he can continue to make millions off his investments while those very investments take jobs away from this country, put people out of work, and make Mitt Romney an even wealthier man while he sleeps.

No. I think we have seen all we really need to see to know the real Mitt Romney. It is something that can literally be summed up in three words:

Rich. Soulless. Dick.

And while that might not be as thirst quenching as a glass of lemonade, it is accurate. And really, can you find a more fitting description?

I. Think. Not.
