Looks like the latest service pack of Rmoney 2012 wasn't installed yet.

It happens in pretty much every election. It's what happens when you depend on gullible idiots for votes. Both sides do this, but one side does it more, as we can see here.

More evidence that Romney just says whatever the person he is talking to wants him to say.

mainstreet62: Looks like the latest service pack of Rmoney 2012 wasn't installed yet.

Naw, it's a feature of his programming. Do and say anything to ensure that he will get a vote from a person even if that directly contradicts what he did or said to another person to get their vote.

cman: Put yourself in his shoes for a second. Some crazy ambushes you and starts spouting off idiocy. How would you have handled it?

I think this was one of those Romney moments where he had no idea what the fark to do.


That's the man I want to be president. When confronted with something out of the ordinary I want him to not know what the fark to do. That's my president.

Wow, the Republicans found someone with even less honor and personal integrity then John McCain to be their candidate this cycle.

That man has no moral center.

antidisestablishmentarianism: Not a whole lot more but it is crazier on the right.

The difference is that the Democrats do everything possible to let progressives know how much they despise them as they court the "independent" vote. For the Republicans, crazy is the base.

cman: How would you have handled it?

I would have shown I want to be the leader of my party by putting the crazies in their place instead of pandering to them.

The problem is, the right only has the crazies left.

If he can be ambushed and rendered speechless by some lunatic at his own rally rally, how's he going to deal with the likes of Putin or the Chinese?

So, today we aren't upset that there are free speech zones? Or we only get upset when they are set up during the Democratic National Convention.

Huh?

That wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Romney could have handled it better, but the lady in this video wasn't quite as crazy/decrepit as the woman who called Obama an Arab. Also, in McCain's situation (I just re-watched the video), he was standing right in front of her and was able to take the mic away as soon as she said "Arab." Romney just let the mic wander around unsupervised....that may have been the biggest mistake. Never give the rabble an open mic without either the candidate or a campaign worker of some sort standing by to say "Thank you for your comments" and take it out of their hands.

sorta points to the heart of the problem doesn't it?

The GOP has to rely on the nuts they've actively cultivated for years. They let the crazy spin out of control because they were going on the idea that anything negative about their opponent must be good for them. No matter how absolutely insane the crazies got, no one of any weight in the GOP would speak up because they couldn't see how this would be bad for their side.

Romney can't just say what should be the obvious answer, "uh, no that's crazy talk...next"

This is a major issue for the GOP, the nuts are taking over the asylum, and it's their own short sighted nasty politics that brought it about.

hold on, it'll get worse before it gets better.

Yep. They dumped McCain to go Man-Sarah!

Meanwhile, waterboarding is not torture, warrantless wiretaps are constitutional and invading a broke-dick third world quagmire of a country while simultaneously cutting revenue to finance it did not hurt the US economy in any way.

Like this

That was pretty awesome.

There's also the line about playing chess with a pigeon. They're just going to knock over the pieces, take a shiat on the board and then fly away back to their friends to brag about their victory.

Forgot_my_password_again: The problem is, the right only has the crazies left.

No, there are still craizes on the Left, but they're not the sort of people the SS would allow into a rally with a presidential candidate. Think odd clothing choices and too much patchoulli.

Congratulations, America. You're f*cking retarded.

TREASON MUST ALWAYS BE PUNISHED.

I can't wait until Mitt secures Zion for us and the rest of you burn in hell.

I think you misunderstood him. He said that the only people remaining firmly on the right are crazy, not that there are no crazies on the left.

cman: Put yourself in his shoes for a second. Some crazy ambushes you and starts spouting off idiocy. How would you have handled it?

I think this was one of those Romney moments where he had no idea what the fark to do.

He handled it decently considering the situation, but watch the clip of when McCain had that crazy lady tell him Obama was an Arab. He was standing right in front of her and took the mic back when she got goofy. What Romney needs to learn for the future from this incident is this:

Don't let the mic travel around the room unsupervised. Either keep the candidate or a campaign worker carrying the mic around. Heck, the campaign worker could even hold the mic up to the person's face. That way you can just take the mic away from them at the first sign of crazy. Romney couldn't have done much better in the situation, but he/his campaign could have prepared better for an eventuality like this.

Again, I don't think this incident reveals anything about Romney that we didn't already know. He's a socially awkward dude who sometimes doesn't handle the unexpected that well. This incident reveals more about his campaign, in that they aren't taking enough precautions and possibly overlooking some details.

Ironically, today the lefty crazies are going on trial in Cleveland for wanting to blow up a bridge. Lefties can be nuts too.

That's sort of like saying that the Kent State shootings was a bit of a blooper.

Solid presidential timber.

I'm pretty sure there were people asking for members of the Bush Admin to be investigated for treason, what with the Iraq War, WMD, etc. Being president is a special club....once you're in the club you can't taddle on anyone else in the club until they are dead.

I dunno? Maybe showing a little integrity might have been a good idea?

LarryDan43: I can't wait until Mitt secures Zion for us and the rest of you burn in hell.

Um, I don't know what religion you think Mitt Romney practices, but I'm pretty sure that Mormons believe in a form of universal salvation.

HMS_Blinkin: Romney couldn't have done much better in the situation, but he/his campaign could have prepared better for an eventuality like this.

Bullshiat.

All Romney had to farking say was "I don't think that making claims like that are helpful. Let's keep this campaign respectful to our opponent and focus on the issues."

The asshole was either too cowardly to say that, or is happy benefit from that type of rhetoric.

Want to see this come up in the debates.

"So, did you get a chance to look into whether or not I've committed treason, Mitt? How'd that go for you?"

As has been said before, both sides have their crazies, but on the Right, the crazies are part of their base. Also, it's telling that when the left-wing candidate meets a crazy, it's usually a right-wing crazy.
