theknuckler_33: Yea... I'm just not looking at this thinking it is some kind of big indicator of Mitt Romney, the man/machine. For me, this goes in the 'meh' column.

I don't think anyone else sees it as a big indicator, but the Romney/Robot idea is funny. It takes pretty close to zero effort to post here, the fact that people are doing it is not evidence that they feel strongly about the comment.

Lighten up, Francis.

Heh.

Part of me feels bad for THIS being a topic of discussion, but when the reality is that everybody already knows the truth of the issues or steadfastly refuses to accept the truth because "reality has a liberal bias," there's not much else TO do.

And really, the man is such a robotic shiatheel he deserves a good ribbing.

JadedRaverLA: Teufelaffe: Dalrint: Really? Nobody noticed that he's tasting it the same way he would wine? That's how you describe wine in a fancy wine tasting, single descriptive words.

He doesn't actually know how to just say if he likes something.

I would pay money to see someone say "wet" with a straight face when describing a wine at a tasting.

It would be the most accurate and honest summation there, as well as the least pretentious. Certainly less stupid than declaring a wine "dry."

/ Fermented. Wet. Grapes.
// Totally accurate every time.


Actually, at least to me, dry wines really DO taste dry. It FEELS like liquid, but TASTES dry.

Then again, I am farking weird like that...

Gyrfalcon: friday13: Oh, COME ON. I don't like him, but REALLY? You CAN'T SERIOUSLY TELL ME you've never done something like this when you're hot, thirsty and/or guzzling down something refreshing. I give Rmoney plenty of flak, but this is farking rediculous.

Are you telling us that you HAVE??


Next time you're asked a question in the middle of a drink when you're dehydrating, YOU try answering in a complete sentence.

Of course people do shiat like this from time to time. But goddamn near every farking day no matter the topic? You think his campaign keeps him away from the press and the public just for shiats and giggles? No, it's because he either says something completely off message or simply comes off as an out of touch dullard.

If you're running for President, when you have to interact socially with us normals you simply must avoid sounding like someone who has suffered a massive stroke. Certainly not always, but certainly not at the incredible rate Romney does either. Especially when you're trying oh so hard to shake the 'out of touch' label.


AFAIK, Rmoney doesn't speak in "word. word. word." format day-to-day like he did with the lemonade. Yes, he's a farking robot, but this is just you being shiatdicking assholes.

Yes I said "shiatdicking".

I actually used that once at a Halloween party:

It seems someone in the crowd asked him about the lemonade. Frankly, even as anti-Romney as I am, I'm willing to chalk this up as a goofy joke uttered impromptu-style in a festive atmosphere.

I mean, did you really expect him to stop in the middle of a parade and say "It has just the right balance of tart and sweet and it at the perfect temperature of 38-40 degrees F."??


"How's the lemonade, governor?"

"Great, thanks!"

That's what I would expect on the fly. His answer was... strange, to say the least. As if he were truly incapable of a natural, normal interaction.

Slightly tangential topic, could this be the first husband/wife candidacy? If no-one volunteers to run as Mitt's VP, will Ann step up and run as the VP candidate? I don't recall previous presidential candidates having their spouse as active in the campaign as Ann has been.

Smooth. Foam. Burmashave.

Seriously...who says "wet" as a positive descriptor for a drink? "Lemon," ooookay, yeah, it should be... "Wet," did you really just tell us that liquid is "wet"? "Good," much better - should have just used this one and left it at that.

Your 45th President of the United States, everybody. Let's give him a round of applause.

I dunno - Hillary was very active in Bills campaign as was Michelle. I think it probably depends on how well they can handle it. I know its not something I would have the fortitude for.
