\"RomPoop\"Mitt Romney shows new flair for comedy, saying America elected Republicans because they want to get things done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mitt Romney has apparently been under a rock ever since his defeat in the 2012 election. This was apparent in his comments this week in which he seemed to blame Democrats for Washington gridlock.<\/p>\n

C’mon, Mitt. That’s too funny. Be serious.<\/p>\n

The reason so many Republicans got elected, Romney said, is that Americans want to see things get done. \u201cThey\u2019re going to expect something to happen,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to expect that the House will pass bills, which by the way, they already have. Some 370 bills. Some of them will come to the Senate and actually be acted upon, and they\u2019ll reach the president\u2019s desk.\u201d<\/p>\n

And when the president refuses to sign some, say a proposal to eviscerate the EPA like Mitch McConnell is promising, then we\u2019ll see who the real "Party of No" is, Romney said.<\/p>\n

Romney does not really like that Party of No expression when it is applied to obstructionist Republicans. \u201cAll this rhetoric about the war on women, and the war on one thing or the other,\u201d he opined. \u201cI think people are saying, \u2018You know, that just doesn\u2019t carry water anymore.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyway, Romney thought he dispensed with that whole war on women thing when he told voters he has "binders of women."<\/p>\n

Now that was funny.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
