Ugh kill me. I'm so glad I live with one woman. WHO I LOVE

I could never live in a house with that many guys, I get along with women so much better.

Does Mitt Romney remind anybody else of the mayor from Jaws?

Romney believes his wealth comes from his belief in God and not the fact that his Dad was CEO of a fucking great big car company.

I love America but sometimes despair...

I realize from your comment that you probably don't believe in God, but why wouldn't you think that someone that does shouldn't attribute their blessings to God? I know nothing of Romney's dad, but he might very well have taught his son to believe that. If not, judging by the Mormons I do know personally, that is an attitude consistent with the teachings of their church.

Most mormons want to distance themselves FAR away from Romney.

How'dya figure that? Did someone do some kind of mormon specific survey?

Or are you just being good ol' vexer?

Could be true, but two I know have his bumper sticker on their cars. How representative that is, I don't know.

Romney is the most depressing kind of politician: fake as hell and tries his damnedest to tell people exactly what they want to hear. You never once get the sense that there's anything he actually cares about. Besides winning, that is.

So of course it was God. He has an intensely religious base to pander to.

As soon as Republicans embrace Pastafarianism, Romney will be thanking the almighty Spaghetti Monster for raining down money from His noodley appendages and enriching the Romney family forevermore.

Couldn't have put it better myself, Romney used to be pro-choice and for gay marriage, and let's not forget it was his health care bill that paved the way for health care reform. But of course he turned his back on all that just so he could get the nomination.

I'll tell you something. In 2008, McCain came to MI. He soberly told a crowd of working class guys that the state needs to move beyond the auto industry and to stop expecting lost car factory jobs to come back. I was not and never would be a McCain supporter, but I respected the hell out of him for saying that. It was harsh, but honest. It took balls.

Then, of course, Romney came to MI, chided McCain for his lack of faith, and vowed that those jobs could be brought back. Even among all the other campaign B.S., it was a particularly fatuous statement. Nothing but pie-in-the-sky jerkoffery. I guess it also took balls to say, in a different sense.

On a slightly different note: one of the gold medal gymnasts is from the town where I grew up. Mitt Romney also visited there recently. Moving on up, baby!

EDIT:

Not only is Jordyn Wieber from around here, but so is Chris Hansen. And Jordyn is still 17.

Note to self: behave.

Because it's horshit, and an insult to every legitimate God-fearing peasant who is forced to drink the kind of water most of us would refuse to piss in.

Romney is an ignoramous.

Even rightwingers (or especially rightwingers) should know the Marxian paradox of capitalism and how it closes down its own markets on a local level.

Work like that won't come back to the west on a grand scale because no-one will pay over the market odds to have cars produced. Only a few pages of Das Kapital can show that workers can either upskill to new markets (assuming there are any accessible), or starve.

Romney either knows this and is lying, or doesn't know this and really should.

If we're talking about whatever, I would like to mention that I find cooked carrots gross. Mushy consistency sucks

Long as we're on the topic of vegetables, I hate mushrooms, broccoli and asparagus more then any other food.

Sounds like you're not drowning the broccoli in cheese...or ketchup...or BBQ sauce like I do.

I don't like barbecue sauce or ketchup either.

Somehow I doubt Mother Teresa, who drank plenty of the piss water, would embrace your viewpoint. But it is your viewpoint and I guess you're entitled to it. Too bad you don't think others are entitled to theirs.

I couldn't have cared less what Mother Teresa thought. She was a fraud who worshipped poverty itself as being some kind of divine gift. Even more deluded than Romney.

And nowhere have I denied anyone their opinion.

You criticized Romney for attributing his wealth to God. His statement is consistent with the teachings of his church doctrine (beliefs).

If you believe he is disingenuous or insincere then that is an opinion of his character. But as it is, you have essentially said he is not entitled to a belief. A belief that is taught by many of the world religions. That his belief should somehow be insulting to you, or to poor Christians, is what I'm trying to understand.
