A woman in Peoria, Illinois stood up to let Mitt Romney know she wants free birth control. Romney responds by telling her to 'vote for the other guy' if she's looking for 'free stuff'.
Woman: "So youre all for like, 'yay, freedom,' and all this stuff. And 'yay, like pursuit of happiness.' You know what would make me happy? Free birth control."
Romney:"You know, let me tell you, no no, look, look let me tell you something. If youre looking for free stuff you dont have to pay for, vote for the other guy. Thats what hes all about, okay? Thats not, thats not what Im about."

Obama is going to pay my rent and give me gas money from his own stash. What do I care if he has to tax some wrinkly old Republican guy to get the cash. They're all racists anyway.
Why wouldn't I vote for Obama? Aside from believing in America, I mean.

Romney did not really answer the heckler right, but when you are up front of a crowd with your prepared speech, someone can throw you off.
The woman said, "So youre all for like, 'yay, freedom,' and all this stuff. And 'yay, like pursuit of happiness.' You know what would make me happy? Free birth control."
Romney needed to say,
"If you want free stuff, then vote for the other guy. Just remember that free stuff runs out when the government goes bankrupt, and then there will be no more free stuff --- for anyone. Nothing is free. Freedom is not free. Try to remember that."

Other People's Money.
Everything is free, when it's paid for with other people's money.
Except everyone pays for "Other People's Money". Pay sales tax? That's somebody's other people's money. Pay rent? A part of that goes to property tax, which is also other people's money for someone.
Have a job? Income tax and FICA are both "Other People's Money." Except the pols only want you to think of somebody else's "Other People's Money" - lately, the rich people are the current source of still more "Other People's Money."
There's no such thing. It's all your money. My money. Our money. Anything you don't pay for directly. Roads. Defense. FAA. Life Insurance, car insurance, health insurance. Disaster relief. Foreign aid. Post office. Government. Every single dime you do not control yourself goes into the giant bin called "Other People's Money."
So pay attention. Other people's money is your money!

Socialism is about squeezing money out of the young (forcing them to get health insurance) to give to the old (using up health insurance at a rapid clip). Now Obama is throwing the young a bone. A very, very small bone and some of them are grabbing on it like a mad dog because they really want to believe they haven't been historically screwed by their savior.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
