I might have to start making the Mitt Romney to English translator a regular feature here -- or at least for the next few weeks if he keeps this up. Watch Mitt Romney spiral out-of-control (non-YouTube version available here).
There are two problems here -- the first of which, that the reporter jumps on -- is that there aren't lobbyists "running his campaign." As Romney verifies in the video, senior aide and lobbyist Ron Kaufman is often at his side and has helped him prep for debates (along with helping with strategy).
Second, there's his claim that he doesn't have "lobbyists who have raised all sorts of money for [him]." The Washington Post specifically cites lobbyist/Romney bundlers Scott Baugh, Alberto Cardenas, and Jack Gerard.
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT THINKS THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID. IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE STUPID. IT IS THAT WE ARE PEACEFUL. WE WANT TO TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT. WE WANT TO MAKE MONEY TOGETHER AND SHARE AND MOVE THE ECONOMY, BUT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO START WARS AND BUILD HUGE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TO MANTAIN AN ELITE POWER IN THE WORLD. WE ELECT POLITICIANS TO REFLECT US, BUT THEY ARE LISTENING TO THE ELITES INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE. WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WANT PEACE, BUT WHEN A PERSON STARVES, THERE WILL DEFINATELY BE A REVOLUTION. AMERICA HAS 300,000,000 PEOPLE IN IT. 80,000,000 WILL FIGHT FOR FOOD. CAN THE GOVERNMENT STOP 80,000,000 TOTALLY JUSTIFIED PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING JUST TO KEEP A FEW VERY RICH? WE WILL SEE!!!!!!!!!! DON'T ACCEPT THE NATIONAL ID MAY 2008. RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008
