> [@Loach](#): > > So OP you’ve been around for a few months. Long enough to understand that 95% of the posts here about Mitt are negative. So you feel the need to Pit for what reason? You have a unique perspective? Or were you just looking for a pat on the back? The Op just wanted to feel wanted and get in on the “Republicans are Teh Ebil” dick sucking circle jerk. ---

Dude, really? _Sheeple_? You couldn’t find a better word. :smack: See? This is what I hate about politics. People claim to have all sorts of inside information or misinformation (whichever). Then, they claim they are smarter than the average citizen just because they listen to Fox News. Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. ---

> [@Terr](#): > > What the hell is wrong with liberals? I mean, I dislike Obama as a President, intensely, I think his presidency is not good for the country, I hate his ideology and I would love to see him lose and would throw a party when/if he does. But I don’t think he is devil personified on Earth, I don’t think he is an asshole personally, I don’t think he’s a bad person (in fact, I have no idea what kind of person he is, there is no way to tell, public persona has no bearing whatsoever on this). > > What is it with liberals that requires them to hate their opponents personally and not just politically? Not just Mitt. Was the same with Bush and McCain, not to mention irrational personal hatred for Gingrish, Santorum etc. etc. etc. Dozens of examples at least. Fuck yeah! Liberals and their eight hour workdays, minimum wages, weekends, social security, medicare and mandatory issue insurance. Their fuckin’ draggin’ us into that war with Hitler, their peacenicking about Iraq not having WMD, their voting rights and civil rights crap, rural electrification, jobs programs and on and on and on. And they hate Mitt Romney for saying that he doesn’t care about 47 percent of the American citizens and won’t worry about them. After he made his fortune leveraging their companies and then stripping their pensions and shipping their jobs overseas. What is not to like about this guy? How could you hate this guy? ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > I don’t know either. Mitt Romney was an awesome governor of Massachusetts (a liberal strong-hold state that tends to select very good Republican governors in the New England model). Ehem. He is really unpopular, as far as I can tell. Know why? He promised he was not using the state as a stepping stone for a presidential run. The one thing you can trust with him is that there is at least a 47% chance any statement he makes is a lie, > [@For You](#): > > You know, having looked over the videos, I retract that particular example.

I pit Mitt (and well, Obama too) for their stupid casual man-of-the-people campaign outfits. Neither one of you is “just like us” - you’re light-years away from the average voter (whoever that is). Stop wearing those dorky sweaters and [dress up to the occasion](http://phillysportshistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/connie-mack-hof-1.jpg). ---

But are your 600 thread count sheets made from single ply yarn??..many companies use a trick to boost their thread count, they use a twisted multi-ply yarn…so maybe it’s only woven to 200 thread per inch but if they use an 8 ply thread they can brag on a 1600 count sheet…but it’s really not. This is the kind of nuance that I’m sure Mitt’s personal shoppers never miss, that is why they are so valuable and why he never gets suckered by overpromising linen companies like you do. ---

I will be so glad when Mitt loses the election and the whole of the GOP turns against him. Nobody likes this guy, many of his supporters knows he’s as slimy as they come but they hate Obama just slightly more. When Mitt loses, there should be a pile-on of epic proportions. Plus, unlike McCain, Mitt doesn’t have an elected position, so nobody’s going to come running to kiss his ass. ---
