"This kind of divisiveness, this attack of success, is very different than what we’ve seen in our country’s history. We’ve always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business."

Mitt Romney, speaking at Otterbein University in Ohio.
From ThinkProgress:
“At a ‘lecture’ for students at Otterbein University in Ohio today, Mitt Romney told students that, his friend, Jimmy John, started a business by borrowing $20,000 from his parents at a low interest rate. Romney suggested anyone in the audience could do the same.”
Because EVERYONE’S parents have $20k just sitting around, amirite?
You know what a risk is these days? Going to college and hoping to all things holy you get a job that allows you to pay back student loans. Not everyone is able to sell a little stock here and there to pay tuition at an Ivy League school and not work.
Just sayin’

In which a Romney adviser compares his candidate to an Etch A Sketch: “You can kind of shake it up, and we start all over again.” Dear Mitt: You may want to shake this guy up and start all over again.
Makes me wonder if said advisor is sick of his candidate.

"I don’t know that he’s completely tapped out, but they are trying to look under every stone. You run out of people you can hit up for $2,500."
— A top New York Republican fundraiser • Discussing the plight of Mitt Romney, whose campaign thus far has largely been funded by big donors. Seems that the well is starting to run dry, though, and unlike Obama’s strong contingent of small donors (which Santorum is starting to build up), Romney has never been able to rely on those. In fact, just by the numbers, most of Romney’s donors have been big ones — in 2011, for example, 82 percent of Romney’s individual donations were $1,000 or higher. Is this a long-term problem? Possibly. source (via • follow)

Oklahoma National Guard to have 'don't ask, don't tell' under lawmaker's bill | Tulsa World
Apparently HD91 Rep. Mike Reynolds is starting the Oklahoma State Legislature Regressive Circus and Morality Watch this year by introducing a bill that would reinstate DADT in the Oklahoma National Guard.
HB 2195 would render anyone ineligible to serve in the ONG that would have been ineligible to serve in the U.S. armed forces per standards in effect on January 1, 2009.
A similar bill was introduced in the state house in Virginia last year, but was killed in committee.
Reynolds asserts that Oklahoma *can* do this, although I would think that federal mandates from the Department of Defence (which of course has done away with DADT) would supersede any state regulation. I would want a closer look at this proposed bill from that standpoint.
FWIW, there are ONG units currently deployed to Afghanistan.
To me it’s just another time-wasting “we feel like we have to push our homophobia on everybody” bill that will detract the Legislature’s attention from more pressing and impactful legislative discussion in the upcoming session.
This is one of those instances where I want to put a bag over my head.
