I see almost no difference between Mitt and Kerry, and I grew up in New England and have followed their political careers for 15 years -- though I've since gone South and gone country.

That's incredible.

I posted because you called them both "effete." Whatever you think of Mitt's campaign, he's not effete. He's been married to the same woman for years and raised several sons.

Mitt's also been a success in business. That's quite a contrast to the gigolo Kerry who's never held a real job.

You can hate Mitt. I can understand that. I'm not that crazy about him lately either. But I doubt anybody who knew him would say he's effete and no different from Kerry.

You also called both men "French-speaking" -- as a slur? Well, there's a difference between a guy who went to France to summer at his aunt's mansion and one who went there to knock on doors as a missionary.

Effete doesn't mean homosexual.

As Mitt would say, go look it up!

Romney Spent $300 on Makeup Consulting "Well, “communications consulting” is how presidential candidate Mitt Romney recorded $300 in payments to a California company that describes itself as “a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and men’s grooming and spa services.”"

there's a difference between a guy who went to France to summer at his aunt's mansion and one who went there to knock on doors as a missionary. .... and avoided the draft in the process.

Kerry's the guy who eats his cheesesteaks with Swiss cheese -- Mitt's the guy who peels the skin off his KFC and eats it with a knife and fork.

They're both silver spoon white collar manicured pansies. Effete captures it nicely.
