Mitt Romney's weirdness means he can't connect with American voters (Mitt's bizarre bug-squash...)
Telegraph UK ^ | 3/10/12 | Tim Stanley

-snip-

Romney delivers every emotion – anger, humour, sadness, elation – in the same giddy voice of a carpet salesman who’s only got ten seconds before you close the door in his face.

On Friday, he swung down South and affected love for the region. He called himself an “unofficial Southerner” because he's eaten grits and learned out to say “y’all.” Then there was a truly bizarre moment when, in the middle of admitting that he knows nothing about agriculture, he broke away mid-sentence to crush a bug beneath his foot. He said, “Oh look at that, look at that little guy, there. Got him.”

He kind of reminds me of some kind of space alien pretending to be a human being. Everything about him is contrived. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would vote for him.

It started the day he was born into a really weird cult.

I have heard nothing from my fellow Southerners but disdain for Romney since his “y’all” blunder....It reminds folks of Hilary’s, “I ain’t no way tired”...Don’t talk down to your audience Mitt....we don’t look up to you to allow you to look down on us.
I bet he insisted his manservant dispose of those shoes after his “true southerner” came out.

And he called them "cheesey grits." Maybe that's their name in Mississippi, but in GA we call them simply "cheese grits."

Obama will turn Romney into a national laughingstock!

I suppose it is possible. He’s had enough practice on himself.

Crushed a bug. Oh my goodness that’s never been done before.

But I guess it’s true this makes him an “alien”, etc.

Obama will use the LSM against Romney the way Romney used negative TV ads against Newt.

I can't stand the stupid nervous laugh he does before answering any question posed to him... drives me nuts. It also suggests that the guy is just not that comfortable in average everyday social settings, which I do consider to be weird.

But what's weirder still is his cut throat manner of attempting to vanquish his political opponents on the Republican side; here is a guy willing to spend millions relentlessly attacking them, but other that stating “he is out of his league” refuses to state anything derogatory or even negative about the jug-eared socialist a$$ clown who has systematically set out to destroy this country.

I defend all GOP candidates. Stories like this will be used against any nominee and are ridiculous.
