ROMNEY, THE IDIOT

Blames his election loss on government gifts Obama provided to his supporters

While talking to some donors, here is how Romney attributed his loss to Obama: “What the president -- president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and -- and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote.”

Here is what Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal had to say about Romney’s idiotic remark: “If you want voters to like you, the first thing you've got to do is to like them first. And it's certainly not helpful to tell voters that you think their votes were bought. This is completely not helpful. This is not where the Republican Party needs to go.”

Here is what Newt Gingrich had to say: “I just think it's nuts. I mean -- I mean, first of all, it's insulting. This would be like Walmart having a bad week and going, ‘The customers have really been unruly.’ I mean, the job of a political leader in part is to understand the people. If we can't offer a better future that is believable to more people, we're not going to win.”

And George Will said: “It's been well said that you have a political problem when the voters don't like you, but you've got a real problem when the voters think you don't like them. And that is -- Mitt Romney was picking up the theme he improvidently put before the country and inadvertently with his 47 percent video during the campaign.”
