”I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there.” —Mitt Romney, following his Florida primary victory

Wonder Who Is Washing the Mitt Mobile

From The New York Times:

Mitt Romney, who has relentlessly wielded the issue of illegal immigration against his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination in the past few months, is facing an embarrassing new revelation that the landscaping company at his home in Massachusetts was found for a second time to be employing illegal immigrants.

Mr. Romney announced yesterday that he had fired the company, Community Lawn Service of Chelsea, Mass.

I bet Mittsie was for the lawn before he was against it. I doubt pushing a lawnmower is within his skill set. This could be a sitcom!

Got To Be There

Ummm, in Iowa, not in Iraq!

Mitt Romney:

The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that’s the way we’re going to keep it. My sons are all adults and they’ve made decisions about their careers and they’ve chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard.
One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.

When I get a song and dance, I want music!!! And funny outfits!!!

To the tune of Got to Be There (Written by Elliot Willensky, performed by the Jackson 5):

Got to be here (got to be here),
Be here in the heartland,
We’re too chickenshit for Iraq.

Got to be here (got to be here),
Be here in the RV,
With a non-caffeine drink and a snack

Thank You For Your Service!

From USA Today:

At an “Ask Mitt Anything” forum this morning in Bettendorf, Iowa, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was quizzed about whether any of his five sons are serving in the U.S. military.
USA TODAY’s Susan Page, who was there, reports that this was his response:

“The good news is, we have a volunteer Army and that’s the way we’re going to keep it. My sons are adults. They’ve chosen not to serve in the military in active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. … And one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.”
