Hey, Guys, Hear This!!

I just got my first letter from Mitt Romney.

"Dear Norman," it says, "I am running for President of the United States and because you are one of America's most notable Republicans, I want to personally let you know why. It's simple, really ... I believe in America."

I can't tell you what that means to me. For so long I have wanted a president who believes in America. He calls me "one of America's most notable Republicans" when I haven't given 10 cents to him or the party. But think of it: To Mitt Romney I am notable just like those big guys who give him millions, like that guy from Las Vegas and those brothers. You have to really believe in America to feel like that. And golly, on top of that, I'm not even a Republican. You gotta love a man who, with everything he has on his mind, like whether he pays taxes, would take the time to tell me something about himself personally. And that he believes in America.

Imagine, a man running for president believes in America! Are we lucky or what?

Norman, you've lived to see the day the Republicans think Archie Bunker is middle of the road.

It is gratifying on some level that even Norman Lear gets spammed.

Instead of believing what a republican says, i'll look at the recent history of what the republican party has done. And from all that evidence, i don't see a party which believes in America, or the American people.

Excellant choice of words.

I'm SO thrilled for you!!
I knew he was scary and out of touch and possibly a complete idiot - but if he thinks YOU are an important Republican one of two things is true:
1 - He's REALLY lost it.
2 - He's driven all the existing Republicans away and has only you left.
Or....both?

Some years ago I got something roughly equivalent from George W Bush.

I promptly did the right thing; I mounted it on the dart-board where it remains as an inspiration to get a bulls-eye every time.

That sincere personal acknowledgment really gets you motivated.

I guess old Mitt really thinks Norman is Archie Bunker! This man never ceases to amaze me. Mitt is the prototypical politician that we all hate so badly. He doesn't have the balls to commit to any specific policies, he has lived a sheltered life of wealth and has absolutely no perception of how the other 99% of us live our daily lives. I'm sure Mitt has never changed a car tire or has had to work doing any kind of actual manuel labor. His whole life has been dedicated to having to do as little as possible, to enhance his wealth, including just hiding alot of it overseas and then waving "I believe in America" signs all over the country, while campaigning. His mind can no longer feel guilt about lieing, as he does it so often that he can't remember what is reality or just the bullshit he spreads across the numerous sources of media he has to utilize. He is yet another in the long line of religious hypocrites, who pick and choose which sins are actually sins and ignores those such as lieing, cheating, greed, screwing his fellow man and treating us all as children of God. He doesn't smoke, drink or cheat on his wife (that we know of) and depending on which election you consider, he hates homosexuals, Muslims, Pro-choice advocates and of course, those lazy poor folk, who are only a burden to our society.

I got a letter from Romney too, calling me a "valuable Republican, even though I'm registered independent. It included a picture of him and his family (full color, no less). I used the letter to wipe during my "morning ritual" and saved the pic to send to the IRS when I file my taxes.

Norm please … I doubt that you received a letter from Mitt Romney. I am glad you like to indulge your infantile fantasies on Huffpo. If it makes you happy by all means. PS speaking of taxes why have you not inquired into the tax histories of say Tim Geithner, John Kerry, Charle Rangle etc, etc, etc. You would in those cases actually be dealing with actual fact instead of outright fiction.

' I doubt that you received a letter from Mitt Romney" Yes, obviously the author knows that. But if you're going to do an unoriginal automated letter, at least choose your words intelligently.

Ha ha ... you've been warned by Norman Lear himself. Don't give your mailing address to any republican goons.

Somehow I got a letter from president Obama asking for money. I have given as much to the Democrats as Mr. Lear to Republicans. Imagine, a letter from a person running for president who doesn't believe in America. Just remember, you didn't build this or do anything without president Obama's blessing.
