why not use a clip from 2008 debates? I feel that is more relevant

We really shouldn't have to. This was much, much, much more difficult. For an entire hour, he dismantled an entire room of hardcore conservative tools without breaking a sweat. The Romney debates are going to be a joke.

What cracks me up is that I think a lot of good Republicans sat this one out figuring that the chances in 2016 will be better and they didn't want to get damaged in a tough primary. Then this happened, and they're realizing that if they had jumped in (or stayed in, I'm looking at you Pawlenty*) they would have creamed Mitt and Obama would be vulnerable.

It's basically 2004 all over again, but this time it's the Republicans facing their own version of Kerry: A candidate running a terrible campaign that they don't really like but they have to support because they hate the president.





*not as endorsement of him, just saying I think he would have taken the nom if he stayed.

That's not how debates work though. He's not going to be able to do that.

Can you name some of these great republicans? I'm not being facetious, I genuinely want to know if they still exist.

By good I mean electable and not a comment on how they are as politicians.

It's probably not shocking to say that I'm a liberal.

lol the debates will be fun.

[ahoyhoy]

Well, to be fair, the guy's right about this.

Gotta give him points for beind honest, for once.

 

[Zaphod]

That's pretty rich considering his ad that blatantly lies about Obama's welfare plans.

 

[Brinbe]

And to think, Rombot was the best of an absolutely terrible lot in those primaries. It could be much worse.

 

[B-Dubs]

He's like the bully that finally picks on someone who fights back.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

I almost feel bad for poor old Mitt. He can't celebrate the biggest thing he accomplished as governor because "conservatives" will rake him over the coals for it. Like they're doing to Andrea Saul. They basically want her crucified for her response to that priorities USA ad: That if that couple had been in Massachusetts, they would have been covered. The truth.

What kind of man could live with himself after that? Abandoning something he was proud of to please these hardcore conservatives that don't even like him to begin with?

Shots fired. That ads hits pretty damn hard.

It's crazy to think how much political ammunition the Obama campaign has left. They have barely even touched the Ryan budget, haven't really gone in depth with Romney's tenure as Massachusetts governor, and haven't really hit that hard with his policy plans (besides his tax cuts promise). It would be crazy if Romney's tax issue is the only thing the Obama campaign needs to sink the GOP.

Because he gets to be prez!!! Or at least wants to be.

 

[Trent Strong]

Is kosmo banned? Normally he'd be here to defend this crap by now.

Yes, so now these threads are just painfully boring circle jerks. Even if he was trolling, at least he was entertaining.

Romney: "Please stop pointing out how I'm a huge hypocrite."

This.

Had the economy not sucked hairy donkey balls, Obama would be winning re-election in a landslide. The fact that it is makes this a race, but Romney's issues (big business and making use of tax loopholes) will just highlight how much of a gap there is between him and the middle class. Ergo, he's not the guy to throw out there in a year where you *could* win the election.

 

[Kurita]

He reminds me of Bobby Newport (Parks And Recreation).

 

[Forever]

From the other thread:

Bahahaha at Chuck Todd's face.

Here's a link to the video.

:lol

 

[Zero Hero]

Men like this make me ashamed to be an American.

It's the worst possible fucking face you could give to represent the country.

He's the perfect republican face, person, and has the past to prove it.

 

[kehs]

Why?

 

[Ken Masters]

Poor Mitt.

(that's Obama + 6.9 now, actually)

and only going to widen, his own base dislikes him

 

[The Technomancer]

Aww, whats wrong Mittens? Not used to people actually bringing shit you've said and done in the past?

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

WHAT TRIGGERS MASS MURDERERS

ROMNEY: THE WIMP FACTOR

I see what they did there.

 

[matthewwhatever]

and only going to widen, his own base dislikes him

I wonder what kind of VP pick he'll gave to make to appease them. In thinking he's less liked and trusted than McCain, so it'll have to be someone crazier than Palin. Allen West? Michelle Bachmann? Louie Gohmert? The possibilities are endless/terrifying!

 

[Phoenix]

Can't run as a governor with Romneycare...

Can't run as a businessman with Bane, putting people out of jobs and hiding your millions...

Can't run on your LOL-worthy religion...

What is he running as, not-Obama?

Pretty much. There are a number of people for whom that is sufficient.

 

[Phoenix]

I see what they did there.

You forgot HOW I WAS DUPED

The whole cover is a subliminal advertisement

 

[metalslimer]

wrong topic

 

[Videoneon]

Well, let's what happens with the Wall Street Journal editorial now.

He can choose Tom Hardy as his VP.

Hahaha. Nice one!

More people need to read up on the Romney Quantum Theory

By DAVID JAVERBAUM

THE recent remark by Mitt Romney’s senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom that upon clinching the Republican nomination Mr. Romney could change his political views “like an Etch A Sketch” has already become notorious. The comment seemed all too apt, an apparent admission by a campaign insider of two widely held suspicions about Mitt Romney: that he is a) utterly devoid of any ideological convictions and b) filled with aluminum powder.

The imagery may have been unfortunate, but Mr. Fehrnstrom’s impulse to analogize is understandable. Metaphors like these, inexact as they are, are the only way the layman can begin to grasp the strange phantom world that underpins the very fabric of not only the Romney campaign but also of Mitt Romney in general. For we have entered the age of quantum politics; and Mitt Romney is the first quantum politician.

A bit of context. Before Mitt Romney, those seeking the presidency operated under the laws of so-called classical politics, laws still followed by traditional campaigners like Newt Gingrich. Under these Newtonian principles, a candidate’s position on an issue tends to stay at rest until an outside force — the Tea Party, say, or a six-figure credit line at Tiffany — compels him to alter his stance, at a speed commensurate with the size of the force (usually large) and in inverse proportion to the depth of his beliefs (invariably negligible). This alteration, framed as a positive by the candidate, then provokes an equal but opposite reaction among his rivals.

But the Romney candidacy represents literally a quantum leap forward. It is governed by rules that are bizarre and appear to go against everyday experience and common sense. To be honest, even people like Mr. Fehrnstrom who are experts in Mitt Romney’s reality, or “Romneality,” seem bewildered by its implications; and any person who tells you he or she truly “understands” Mitt Romney is either lying or a corporation.

 

[charsace]

Fine. We can just question if he was really born in the US and bring is extreme daddy and other relatives.

 

[sangreal]

Why?

because my original point was about the 2008 debates... (or even debating in general, which that video was not)

I see what they did there.

The latest GQ more or less accused him of being a wimp too. Suggested he was scared of anyone who isn't a rich Mormon

 

[gabbo]

The post earlier about his expressions and tone of voice always seeming insincere are basically summed up in this cover photo:

Watching newly fired employees leave the office or someone told a 'liberals' joke he's been informed by his campaign management he should laugh at to appear human/conservative? Both seem equally as likely from how he acts in public.
