Mitt strikes (out) again

Mitt Romney gets more rejectable by the minute. Now he's actually calling Hillary Clinton (and her ilk) Marxists.
Look at how the Democrats like Hillary Clinton think about our economy. She said the other day some very interesting things. You probably saw them. She said that it is quote "time to reject the idea of an on-your-own society and replace it with shared responsibility." She says she prefers a quote "we're all-in-it-together society." I see -- out with Adam Smith, in with Karl Marx.
As someone said over at TPM:
Coming from a church where 10% of your income goes into the churches coffers, this is hilarious. How about "Out with Adam Smith, in with Joseph Smith"...

At any rate, Romney pretty shamelessly ignored Clinton's next sentence. What she said was:
It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a "we're all in it together" society. Now, there is no greater force for economic growth than free markets, but markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed.

All we need in the White House is another shameless liar, totally clueless about the real world to boot. Does he know the first thing about Marxists? Or is the first thing about them that they don't worship the almighty corporation? That's about the only way Clinton counts as one ... she's so centrist - in the real world, not the right-skewed US - that she's way right of even mild socialism.

But it hardly matters. What really matters is that Romney deliberately quote-mined her to scare the base.

Do we need more of that?
