Is it actually possible for Romney to be more of an out of touch elitist?

When asked on his thoughts about Samantha Perkins aged 37 of White Plains Indiana, who had never flown on a plane before, Romney replied "I know exactly how she feels. I just purchased a new Gulf Stream and I've yet to take it out for it's maiden flight. It's one of the many sacrifices I've had to make on this campaign to take back America"

Does Romney have any advisers at all? It's hard to believe there is no one telling him to stop saying stuff like this.

Its gotta so bad I'm not entirely sure thats a joke or not.

Satanic_Hamster: Lsherm: No kidding.

ROMNEY, YOU AREN'T A COMMON MAN! QUIT TRYING TO ACT LIKE ONE!

When Obama farked up with his arugula comment, he didn't make the same mistake twice. Every time Romney opens his mouth, it's like he's trying to one-up himself. I fully expect a comment within the next week about how he really likes french fries because he steals a few from his maids whenever they have some. Maybe he could biatch about real estate taxes on second homes.

I still don't understand how anyone can consider that a fark up. You can buy arugula at any grocery store for close to the same price as other lettuce. And he was standing in a room of farmers who freaking RAISED arugula.

Yeah. For fark's sake, I went grocery shopping earlier and considered getting some arugula because it's not more expensive than any decent leafy green. I went with baby romaine because arugula's a bit too peppery for the COOL STORY BRO

Iceberg lettuce shouldn't farking count as a vegetable. It's crispy water. When you slather it with ranch dressing and bacon, you're not eating a salad, you're eating a negative salad. It also has no taste. Arugula, along with romaine, baby spinach, and other darker leafy greens, might not be as huge or crispy as iceberg lettuce, but they're better on every level without being much more expensive.

The iceberg/arugula thing probably is a very good metaphor for political discourse, but I'm not sure how.

Fresh vegetables and expensive and rare luxuries like refrigerators! REAL AMERICANS eat individually wrapped processed corn-products!

When asked about the victims of the Costa Concordia disaster, Romney replied "I understand their pain. My family lost two state rooms full of furniture and 3 cars when the Titanic went down. Luckily, my great grandfather, great grandmother, and my grandparents found their way to two lifeboats. It was a harrowing experience for them. We never got that damn necklace back."

He's trying to capitalize on the "Someday I can be rich enough to be a NASCAR ticket holder" crowd.

I grew arugula last year.
It was bitter & spicy. I pulled it up.

*facepalm*

/Praise FSM I hope you're trolling.

sweetmelissa31: I know exactly what it's like to be poor. I happen to have multiple refrigerators.

Poor you -- you're twice as poor as me!

I wonder who is "great friends" with Romney? I can't imagine that guy is even a tiny bit of fun, ever.

What you don't understand is that those poor farmers are forced at gunpoint by Obama Youth to raise that elitist leaf.

thismomentinblackhistory: I don't want a common man as President.

Neither do I. But what I REALLY don't want is someone who is trying to pretend to be a common man and isn't smart enough to come up with anything better than "some of my best friends are NASCAR team owners."

Romney was recently asked about the lack of consistent snowfall in the northern US, Romney replied "I understand their concerns. We had to go to the swiss alps for our skiing vacation last year."

I like my women like I like my arugula...

I have been teasing my republican friends about him for weeks. He is the Kerry of the GOP. Its wonderfully fun.

Big Pimpin

It really is the ideal out of touch statement. Is there anyone here who didn't think it might have been an Onion article? I mean, it really should be an Onion article. The fact that it's a real statement is totally mindblowing.

Anally?

No way. Your're pulling my leg. Monday morning and only one coffee but he couldn't really have said that.

I bet you $10,000 he didn't

FlashHarry: thismomentinblackhistory: I've never understood this "common man" bullshiat.

blame republicans for that. remember, al gore and john kerrey were stiff and aloof. george w. bush was a president you could "have a beer with."

Do you like beer? I like beer. I have several friends who own beer companies.

Obama probably doesn't know a lot of secretaries but he knows their bosses.

What's the point again?

Jackson Herring: Sangi: He is the Kerry of the GOP.

Mitt Romney makes John Kerry look like Larry the Cable Guy

I dunno - Kerry does have that wicked New England lockjaw thing going.

I_C_Weener: He's rich? I had no idea. At least he isn't Mormon. Oh wait, you guys complained about that too. Maybe he's considerate of his electorate and changes his opinion based on new information...yep, he's a flip flopper.

Changing your mind based on new information: Wise.

Changing your mind based on the audience you're in front of: Skeevy.

I_C_Weener: Maybe he's considerate of his electorate and changes his opinion based on new information

The "new information" being how it plays out with whoever he is talking to at that very moment.

Well, we're really just having a laugh, as none of the stupid assholes running has a ghost of a chance of beating Obama, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
