Despite the fact that Romney was the best of a bad bunch running for president among the GOP candidates, and couldn't hold a candle to Barack Obama, he still had a shot at the presidency because of the sorry state of the U.S. economy. Until Monday night, that is.
Monday night is when a leaked video displayed Romney's true colours -- yet again.
The man was caught on video declaring that 47% of Americans don't pay taxes, that they basically sponge off the other 53%, and that they will vote for Obama because he'll keep the gravy train rolling for them.
This kind of statement is offensive and egregious on so many levels, especially coming from such a privileged man who grew up in a privileged family, and who scarcely knows what economic hardship is. It hurts especially badly because this man has admitted to paying less income tax than most middle class Americans (what's left of them, anyway).
Romney has just thrown away the presidency. It's game over for him. What an idiot.
