Mitt Romney is a real people person.

Rate: 41 Flag

On the off-chance you haven't heard Mitt's assertion that "corporations are people", watch this amusing video.

(Edit: It's amazing how volatile the political process is. When I created the comic Mr. Romney seemd to be doing well, but now his prospects seem to be fading faster than the Texas cotton crop.)

Yeah. If only his hair wasn't so great, people might notice what it means when he says stuff like that.

Just Mitt Romney? Or is this applicable to the whole "corporation as person" decision?
Anyway, this was truly outstanding and hard-hitting.

The right Open Feed (saved) 'says' I commented @1:41PM ref:

Mitt Romney is a ` People PersonReal. But? Where is comment?

The Left Activity Feed record a comment. Why gone?Kerry L.?

Maybe the comment moves via outer space. It's okay. It slow?

Well, now you've gone and hurt my feelings. I'll have to go cry on Wal-Mart's shoulder. How do you get compassion from a corporation? Well, start a million-dollar PAC to support me and I'll tell you the secret.

Excellent! But in the second category, you forgot labor union members, the elderly and students.

I always enjoy your cartoons. Your appelation is completely apropos as I see in your work that which reflects the original Far Side, at least in spirit.

As idiotic as Romney's quip may be (and it certainly is), I honestly can't think of a single corporation that isn't made up of people.

Can somebody help me out on that one?

Nice one, lefty. But don't count Mitten out yet. The primary's a loooong way off yet.
