Romney is the sacrificial candidate to get society to accept a Mormon candidate. It's really hard to lose re-election unless you've really done something crazy. Huntsman in 2016. Believe.
Mediocrity is better than mor(m)onism.
You joke but Huntsman would have been a far better candidate for the Republicans IMO.
At least it wasn't his daughter: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/20/obama-forgets-daughters-n_n_292674.html
Seriously, people think this is some kind of issue or of any relevance to the election? LOL
Ouch, shots fired!
I'm not joking.

Nope. They couldn't find anyone better.
It's real weird, too. You always expect one or two out there candidates, but this time, they all were fucking loons.
As far as I can tell, all the serious Republican contenders sat out of the 2012 contest.

Lol Huntsman. Maybe if he switches parties he'll manage to get 5% in a primary or two.
If you say so.
I could trawl through your post history and find dozens of other examples, but like I said, I just find it rather embarrassing, that's all.

This is weak, even for you.
The entire purpose of this trip is to shore up Romney's foreign policy credentials. He's failing miserably at it.

What kind of "pies"?
I need to know before I decide how I feel about this news. =P
By saying that very real security hiccups are 'disconcerting'?
Massive fail, indeed.

I am actually looking forward to voting for canidate Romney (lets not kid our selves he will not become President).
I do not like how hollywood and Europe backs President Obama. I would rather have a man hated by the EU than one who is beloved like President Obama supposedly is.
Idk... Maybe it is because I empathize more with Romney and his situation (less charismatic/likeable than President Obama).
Why is it though that Europeans on average typically hate republican Presidents or canidates with a firey passion?

agreed
He more or less already did, in his book.

You're reading too much into things. Obama supposedly made several gaffes with the UK during his election run and the infancy of his presidency.

That doesn't answer my question!

Wow.
So... you're voting for Romney basically because he's some sort of underdog that you feel sorry for?
And Europeans typically hate republicans because they're fucking crazy nowadays. Also, it doesn't help that Republicans tend to use Europe as some sort of terrible example of where we could be. According to Republicans Europe is full of lazy freeloaders, their society has no freedom at all, and everything is some sort of bleak distopia.

The US didn't exactly cover themselves in glory the last time the held the Summer Olympics.
Wow indeed, thinking England is an Island is pretty stupid.
There are no pies left of any flavour. Bad planning all round god help us.

Wait, and the adviser said OBAMA was the one who didn't have good relations with the UK?
This shit is gold. The Romney campaign is too busy digging their own graves to have any real chance in the elections.

But it's fine that athletes almost didn't make their events at Atlanta because a shitty winter Olympics in bumfuck USA was a huge success.

If you are trying to show your diplomatic chops, that's something you mention in private discussions, not publicly. You don't embarrass your host, that's basic manners.
"How's security? I'm confident that London will make sure that everyone has a wonderful and safe Olympics."
Really? I'll be honest, I don't remember the gaffes. I remember that people scoffed because he held a couple of big speeches.

Well I do not care for Europeans who display elitism(not saying all do it may very well just be a few)...
I love how so many people call Romney dumb because he is a Republican...
I am a Republican, I can admit President Obama who went to harvard is far smarter than me as most democratic and Republican politicians are smarter than me. I do not why people question President Bush's intellect (guess they fell for that act of his) or Romney's intellect.
Of course though when President Obama talks about his economic policies being inspired by Jesus he is called a secret athiest but every Republican politician is a gun toting, god fearing bigot though right?
President Obama is not even really a liberal President imo and the hypocrisy on the right and the left in regards to his Presidency in this nation is astounding.
I mean he was given the nobel peace prize for basically continuing Bush's policies that were shrieked about as being akin to Adolf Hitlers by some while the right suddenly is upset with President Obama's spending.

Almost. They said Obama can't have good relations with the UK because he's Black.
Don't be too sure.
You're a joke poster right? I thought I went into youtube or gamefaqs of somekind.
I don't remember one. I do remember him leaving Europeans all swooning over him during his pre-election European tour and ended with the speech in Germany being the shiznit. May be that dvds gifts things, that's about it.

Just... stop.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah, Cameron always had some pretty good one-liners that he never hesitated to dole out with a smug look. Especially when Gordon Brown was PM.
This was one of my favorite bits. Gordon Brown was an easy target:

If C-SPAN had stuff like this I might actually watch.
"Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And that's something which we only find out once the games actually begin."
Is it me, or is this comment even more questionable? How would people in the US feel if a potential UK Prime Minister came over and wondered aloud whether we would "come together and celebrate the Olympic moment?" Seems rather insulting.
