(Talking Points Memo) Followup At last night's debate, Mitt Romney's biggest challenge was proving he wasn't flip-flopping. He was successful at first, then he managed to prove his critics right, then wrong again, and then right again   (2012.talkingpointsmemo.com) divider line 67

"I am firmly in support of people not being discriminated against based upon their sexual orientation," he said." At the same time, I oppose same-sex marriage. That has been my position from the beginning."

I love when folks say hypocritical shiat like this... "I don't want to discriminate against the gays, but I definitely want to discriminate against the gays".

I wonder if they realize how ridiculous they sound?

S'ok. He still loves to fark the shiat outta his high school sweetheart. Why you got to be hatin' on lifelong monogamists, Submitter?

See, I'm perfectly fine with people "flip-flopping" if they're doing so because they came upon new information that ended up changing their mind on an issue.

What Romney is doing, is just flip-flopping based on what he perceives the Republican party wants to hear and for that, he's just a pandering douche.

A candidate with something to offer for everyone.

"I am firmly in support of sucking cock," he said. "At the same time, I am not gay. That has been my position from the beginning."

"I will always bend over for the base," he said." That has been my position from the beginning."

No matter what he does, he's going to win the nomination. That's the best part. He could say: I HATE Nazis, but I LOVE Hitler!

And he'd still win the nomination. Romney is the punchline to a joke Jon Stewart hasn't made yet.

Schrodinger's Candidate exists in Quantum Political Superposition, thus your argument is invalid...

Romney once thought gay people were human beings with rights, now he's not so sure.

Which is pretty comical because her base it primarily old white guys who think they have a chance with her.

Is Romney trying to tell us something?

Hell, they're both better looking than the participants in many celebrity tapes. And I hear neither of them shaves their lady parts!

ANOTHER farking debate? What did the audience do this time? Boo a quadruple amputee Iraq vet because he asked a global warming question? Applaud the return of indentured servants? Boo a 12 year old incest victim who got an abortion?

Nothing would surprise me anymore, not after the last one where they cheered for child labor.

Snatch Bandergrip: Why are we talking about anything else besides NDAA?

Just because 2 of 3 (so far) branches of government don't believe that any of the amendments to the constitution matter doesn't change the fact that Romney is a complete douche.

Thanks to the GOP being so off the rails, it is looking like he is gonna lose to Gingrich. Never mind that Gingrich has about as much of a chance of drawing the independents (which is how you win general elections) as I have of sleeping with Anne Hathaway...

Yep. Gingrich is screwed.

Look, you want me to be tough on gays, I'll be tough on gays. You want me to suck a dick live here on stage, I'll do that too. I'll do whatever you want, just make me President. I've been working for this my whole life, don't you understand? I've purposefully steered the middle course my whole career to make sure I was electable as possible. How the hell was I supposed to know the GOP would collectively lose it's goddamn mind? IT SHOULD BE ME DAMMIT! I'm the handsome one! I can wear this suit for 64 straight hours and still look good in it! Look at this chin! The touch of grey and cold, steel eyes! I'm the young buck up-and-comer who was going to give the GOP 8 solid years! You're gonna elect Newt? The guy who was a Letterman punchline 20 years ago? ME, DAMMIT, ME!

1st Amendment: I get to say what I want, and no one can make me stop. Bonus if it pisses off the libs. Also, Jesus is just all right by me.
2nd Amendment: I get guns. Lots of guns. No waiting, no registering - just guns.
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th Amendments: Stuff the government "can't" do.
9th, 10th Amendment: Small government! States' rights!

The conservative "Bill" of "Rights".

In the gloom of Romney's cave, it waited.

"Mine. My only. My preciouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus"

The republican nomination abandoned Romney.

"LOST! LOOOOST! PRECIOUS IS LOOOOOOOST"

But then something happened that it did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature. A Newt.

"What's this? A nomination?"

For the days would come when Newt would change the course of the GOP.

Agreed, Bachmann pounced on that one fast. He might as well have said abortion rhetoric is just a distraction to get fundies to vote GOP.

So, as a happy canadian, I think right about now would be a good time to close our borders, so when Obama clearly wins again, and republicans all go "hell with this Im moving to canada", we can easily say "No. fark off, we don't want you".

Yeah, its working less and less among the youngins.

Ironic that the only hope the GOP has is to make sure as many people cannot vote against them. All their actions, including that one, just make people hate them more.

Ditto. And they tend to not make much noise at all when they are pissed. They're very "wreck your shiat first, ask questions later" oriented.
