Chosen Public Statements by Mitt |
Attitude it could reveal |
|
| It’s time for another old-fashioned tax revolt. | Exploiting the Boston Tea Party & the tea party movement, he suggests that Obama would tax economy to death, a suggestion with no facts to support. | |
| I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will. | Perhaps a pattern and attitude of ascendancy over the small and insignificant, including average Americans, all learned as part of a privileged class. In addition, larger game could be a threat or an added risk to him. | |
| I’m not concerned about the very poor. | They will always be among us, like small varmints. Oft-quoted Biblical passage among the rich, supposedly to justify comparative conspicuous riches. | |
| Corporations are people, my friend! | Attitude of superiority of corporate titans. Even the “my friend” is condescending as spoken by Mitt. | |
| I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. | Servile relationships are well-known by the very rich. Having control over others is re-enforced by the power to fire. | |
| I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again. | Considered a special “I am one of you” nuance to confess trying a “dirty” habit, but only when a haughty teen, a mental condition probably attributed to average Americans. | |
| I grew up drinking Vernors and watching ballgames at Michigan & Trumbull. | He didn’t drink the common Ginger Ale, but a classic brand. His researchers looked up the cross streets of the Old Tiger Stadium to relate to the common folk. | |
| I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners. | Doesn’t realize how haughty and condescending it sounds and that common NASCAR fans could be put off by his only association being with owners. | |
| I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake — I can’t have illegals! | Neither the lack of ethics nor the exploitation of hiring illegals is a concern, only its lack of expediency in running for president. |
