Perfect metaphor: Mitt Romney, toasting his GOP nomination under a Cayman Islands flag

via: quickhitsI couldn’t come up with a more perfect metaphor if I tried: Mitt Romney, toasting his Republican nomination under a Cayman Islands flag.

Romney Celebrates nomination under a Cayman Islands flag.

ABC News:

Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.

The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht “Cracker Bay,” was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million for Romney’s bid.

“I think it’s ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn’t even pay its taxes,” said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.

Romney’s Cayman-based investments have come under fire during the campaign.

salon: Could there be a better example of super-rich arrogance than the image of millionaire Romney donors partying on a mega-yacht registered — for tax avoidance reasons — in the Cayman islands… during the Republican convention?

-Andrew Leonard, “Mitt’s Party Boat” — “But the partisan divide in the U.S. is so deep and strong right now that it’s hard to imagine anything changing minds right now. We already knew that Romney is a very rich man whose administration will be devoted to protecting the interests of very rich men. Now we know that he’s not even trying to hide it.”

  1. If Mitt Romney the pretend Christian reallyfollowing the teaching of Crusader & Mohammad look alike, is elected,Americans will regret not listening to the warnings of Bishop Tutu and Chief Pontiac.We will be saying the Mormonator gave us Books of Mormon and more Bishopsbecame predatory lenders taking control of our companies and forced workers totake jobs for minimum wage, giving preference to Mormons first and making affordablehealth care available only to those who convert to Mormonism and go on MormonMissions. And we will probably say that the Mormonator trample down Mormon enemies in Iran and Syria and the Middle East andmake it one gore of blood just as Joseph Smith commanded him to do.
