Tagg Romney said his father "wanted to be president less than anyone I've met in my life," according to the Boston Globe.

"He had no desire," the eldest Romney son said. "If he could have found someone else to take his place ... he would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn't love the attention."

[Rome]

Haha.  What the hell?

So he's spent the last 10 years of his life running for a job he didn't want?  Yeah, okay Silver Spoon.  Just up and kill yourself already.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)In an interview Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) confirmed that Congressional Republicans plan again to use the upcoming debt limit to hold the nation hostage to their demands for massive cuts to Medicare and Social Security. His comments echoed earlier remarks by Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and anti-government activist Grover Norquist.

Raising the debt ceiling does not mean spending more money — it merely allows the administration to take out the necessary debt to pay for the spending already authorized by Congress and the interest on the debt that has already been approved by Congresses past. While the nation reached the current debt limit yesterday, the Department of the Treasury is using accounting measures to keep the government from default for the next couple of months.

But McCain told CNN that Republicans would again block legislation to keep the nation from defaulting on its obligations, unless they can force major cuts to vital entitlement programs — even though doing so would be highly unpopular:

    WOLF BLITZER (HOST): Are you going to use the raising of the debt ceiling in February or March, Senator McCain, as leverage to get what you want from the president?

    McCAIN: I think there's gonna be a whole new field of battle [laughs] when the debt ceiling rolls around. Most of us have pledged that we're gonna have to... before we vote again to address the debt ceiling — even though it may be at great political cost — we've got to address spending, and that means entitlements. We've got to sit down together and get us back on a path... look, we just added, what was it, $2.1 trillion in the last increase in the debt ceiling, and spending continues to go up. I think there's gonna be a pretty big showdown the next time around when we go to the debt [limit].

Ironically, McCain was among those most critical of phantom Medicare "cuts" in the Obamacare legislation, calling reductions in the program "a price that Americans should not be asked to pay."

But now, McCain and other Republicans are making it clear: either programs protecting the health and financial solvency of American seniors must be significantly cut — or they will thrust the nation into an economic calamity unheard of since the Great Depression.

Note the "laughs" notation.

Yeah, really funny stuff, you worthless crank.   All of them deserve to get chucked into concentration camps.

[ice grillin you]

nothing says compromise like a senate bill that got passed 88-9 being declared DOA at the gop house

[Munson]

Not so hard to just raise the cap on SS tax and means test the program. Instantly huge savings and new revenue.
