In fact at one point, according to some reporters, Romney appeared to have become the most hated man in America. Finding that kind of crap hilarious, I shared an article about the sharks eating their own with the general Facebook public. Next thing I know, an area Republican, Mohave County District Two Supervisor, Hildy Angius felt obliged to assert no matter how much I thought I hated Romney, she hated Obama 16 trillion times more, because, as is typical of GOP, she believes her opinions aren't just more important than anyone else's, but trillions of times more important.
It's that senseless sense of hyperbole and mock outrage the GOP typically employ that is part of the attitude i find offensive. If i actually hated Romney, which i don't, there would be no way any other single person could hate Obama 16 trillion times more. One person = one person. That's a false sense of entitlement and elitism. Romney wasn't ever hate-able in himself. He was just a salesman, for other people's ideas. I battled the ideas. Why waste energy hating in the first place much less hating a figurehead. Like the song goes, "Republicans need a puppet and you fit/got their hands so far up your rear they call you Mitt."
No wonder folks like Romney and Boehner can so casually discuss destroying the education of a nation and call for the starvation and impoverishment of millions of poor, disabled, elderly, veterans, and/or unemployed. If those people aren't GOP then they don't matter. Even if they are GOP, if I can't make money with, or off of, them, they don't matter. They might as well not even exist. No matter what possible tragedy or agony they might be going through, it isn't even equal to a trillionth of a Republican's minor irritation.
Typical Republican I guess. Maybe, if she's lucky she'll realize the error of her ways & her math. If not, maybe we'll be lucky and she'll want to secede like the rest of the Tea Party math deficients. So the people who actually love America can try to repair some of the messes they've made.
