Rich. Weird. Romney

Mitt Romney is weird. When the Obama reelection campaign early in the cycle made the mistake of indicating that its strategy would be to imply that Mitt Romney is weird by repeatedly telling Politico that it planned on calling Mitt Romney weird, Romney’s camp countered by causing a brief and not particularly sincere media brouhaha over whether “weird” is code for “Mormon.” Plenty of Americans think Mormons are weird, yes, but in this case, the simple fact is Mitt Romney is weird, entirely apart from his religion.

-SNIP-

All video of him attempting to interact with normal humans is cringe-inducing, as a cursory YouTube search quickly demonstrates. (Martin Luther King Day, Jacksonville, Fla., 2008: Mitt poses for a picture with some cheerful young parade attendees. As he squeezes in to the otherwise all-black group, he says, apropros of nothing, “Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof!”) He seems to have been told that “small talk” is mostly made up of cheerfully delivered non sequiturs.

-SNIP-

Romney recently told People magazine, “I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again.” I’m not sure we should believe him. There’s no way in hell I can imagine Mitt Romney loosening up enough to have a beer.

Ask him how he’s going to do it.

Wow. You must have a tin-ear.

Romney is GOP ‘s Obama lite wannabe.

[wagglebee]

I've met him a few times (I think my brother knows him pretty well), he's a great guy.

[greyfoxx39]

Huh? Reaganaut is a Christian, isn’t she?

She is...she is not on this thread yet...reaganaut1 is the current poster.

So, I’m a Virgil Goode supporter for this election. He is pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-American worker over illegal, pro-controlled border, pro-Americans secure in their persons and papers, pro-best military in the world....everything a conservative could want.

Sounds good to me.

Can you post some source verification for Virgil's conservative principles as very soon the surrender-monkey Mitt supporters will be on here with their "a vote for Goode is a vote for Obama" rants.

[caww]

Ask him how he’s going to do it.

Well hello Stuart...you do seem to pop up with questions you can never quite get the answer you're looking for.

I suggest you go right to the source and ask him yourself. I don't carry 'stuarts' water.

I trust the owner...he'll do whatever he determines is best for conservatisim.

[OldPossum]

This forum is probably going to officially be a pro-Virgil Goode forum.

And I hope it does become exactly that. Goode is the real deal: a true conservative. He represented the congressional district next to mine and I heard/read nothing but good commentary on him during that time.

What kind of conservative would want to run for office when they will be in the crosshairs of the media, the political opposition, AND their political allies? Only the kind who will tolerate the pressure as long as they can exercise control over others.

WTH? Local tea-party conservatives take exception to that statement.

I think you are on the wrong website.

if the GOP wants to keep nominating liberals they need to figure out a way to get them elected without my help.

Hear here! Exactly right!

[houeto]

Exactly, if the GOP wants to keep nominating liberals they need to figure out a way to get them elected without my help.

Same here.

[stuartcr]

I don’t want to know. I thought you did when you stated that you’re not sure how Jim’s going to handle this awkward place. That’s why I suggested you ask him.

Why would I want you to carry water?

[pallis]

Yeah, I read that yesterday. Obama is still gay.

[NeoCaveman]

And he ate a dog.

[CatherineofAragon]

Well, I’ll be. I never noticed that. Thank you.

[Colofornian]

Huh? Reaganaut is a Christian, isn’t she?

Reaganaut is a Christian; Reaganaut1 [ReaganautONE] is a self-described "nominal Hindu"

[CatherineofAragon]

I completely missed it. Thank you.
