Romney doesn't have the appeal McCain had. You just won't see him drawing large crowds of sleeping guys with pissed pants.

SELECT leadership FROM gop WHERE candidate = 'ROMNEY' and loyalty > $quisling

Quoth the server, "404."

You mean they are having difficulty accepting they have a tax-and-spend liberal to run against the Reagan conservative Bush clone? Or is it concern that they made all that noise about Obama's Christianity and have chosen a Mormon?

I can't support any candidate whose PAC name is a time paradox.

That's going to be my out this year so I don't have to deal with nut jobs.

Think about it from Marty McFly's perspective:

He left 1955 expecting to go home, make out with Jennifer, and call it a (very weird) day. Instead, he returns to a burned-out shell of what looks like his hometown, gets threatened at shotgun-point by his onetime high school principal, his parents don't live at their house (dad being dead and all), and not only is mom an alcoholic floozy, but she's married to Biff, who is a casino mogul.

Mitt just wants to go back to 1955, steal back the almanac, and restore America's future to the one where Biff meekly applies the second coat of paint to the new BMW.

In this story, Marty McFly is Mitt, the almanac is a romanticized version of Leave it to Beaver (and the only black guys are locked in trunks), the "new" 1985 is Obama's America (with Obama playing the part of Biff, the guy who should have been a "regular" Joe Senator, but is instead at the top of the heap).

And Strickland is RON PAUL.

I'd go see that ;-)

We.re not really together, it's just kind of a thing, you know?

Gergesa		2012-05-07 09:58:16 AM

I'll bet the freepers have some sort of cognitive dissonance about Mitt as he is not a true conservative(a lunatic like Bacchman) but don't want a D in the oval office.

This is where it is kind of fun to ask the die-hard Republicans who they are going to vote for.

//BTW, I am a registered Republican but I will be voting for Fartbongo as I really don't see Rmoney as anything more than a return to Bush era policies that farked me last time.

Mr.Tangent		2012-05-07 10:25:23 AM

Support the Mittster just enough to be seen as anti Obama but not enough to lose your "true conservative" cred,

Whew, glad we tackled this important story that has tons of relevance to several important issues facing the American People.

Crisis Averted. Democracy saved. Vote or Die.

I think you can add a creeping realization that Rmoney is just a horrible candidate to both of those.

Hello!? Hello, is anybody in there?
Think, Dreidel, think!

It's a car. Biff was applying a second coat of wax, not paint. You wouldn't want him to drive around in a brush-painted car, would you?

WOULD YOU?!

Romney is truly an inspiring man...

Why, he's inspired me to vote for Obama again, for example.
