Mitt Wit

By R. Duane Graham .. “Corporations are people, my friends.”

—Mitt Romney, August 11, 2011

I have thought all this time that Mitt Romney would win the Republican nomination and had a good chance of beating Barack Obama in 2012.

Then he had to go and commit the anthropomorphic fallacy .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathetic_fallacy .. and ruin it all.

Ironically, Mr. Romney has impeccable credentials to talk about why people don’t have jobs, since he made a nice living putting people out of work. If you care to know, you can find one example here of why Mr. Romney knows all about real—as opposed to the fantasy he told Iowans on Thursday—job killing: ..
