Remember, this is the most crucial election we’ve ever faced, until the next one.
Now that I think of it, I don’t think anyone on this board has referred to Mitt as a muslim socialist. Boy is my face red.
The worst serious candidate? Rick Santorum.
I meant official nominee but yeah, if we’re talking about all “serious” candidates; Santorum fer sure.
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). He is hardly hard right-wing even though he did have to play it at times to entertain the Republican base during the primaries. He is a good man. I personally don’t think being successful is a bad thing at all.
I don’t think Obama is a bad person either. He is just a little light job experience still especially when it comes to economics or dealing with difficult people on either side. I firmly believe that both Romney and Obama are about as true and corruption free as you can hope for in presidential candidates. I am proud as an American that the choice came down to those two in particular.
Really? Santorum was shittier than Bachmann and Cain? Come on!
I find them all equally crazy. Santorum is by far the smartest of the three, so that makes him more dangerous. And I would have downright enjoyed the cognitive dissonance involved in watching the Tea Party pick between two black guys, so I was actively rooting for Cain.
Just the one mattress?
Peasant.
Check this out:
Fifty seven percent of Republicans say that Obama is a Muslim. Twenty four percent of Republicans say he is the Antichrist.
TWENTY FOUR PERCENT.
Take your false equivalence and stick it, sonny boy.
I just feel bad for all those poor Egyptian children hunched over with their magnifying glasses, counting threads until they go blind.
Travelling to other countries to tell people about Mormonism is comparable to going there to kill them. That seems an odd belief for her to adopt, but far be it from me to pass judgment on how someone approaches her faith.
What a surprise. Ambivalid makes another asinine comment. I didn’t see Romney running away to Canada. Not to mention that Romney was subject to conscription. He played by the rules. That’s not cowardice. Also, his father joined the anti-war movement. Yeah, yet another thing that ol’ Ambivalid doesn’t have a clue about.
Look, I don’t care if you want to complain about Obama, Romney, or any of the third party candidates. Just make the complaint sensible. Of course, I’ve come to not expect something sensible from Ambivalid.
Get a room.
It’s my understanding that Romney got deferments to conscription. It was, of course, more important that he spread his batshit insane cult to France.
Also, Romney himself, it is my understanding, actually supported the war. If you support the war, and ask for multiple deferments, you’re opening yourself up to accusations of chicken-shitery.
He supported the war (Vietnam). He asked for multiple deferments to serving compulsory duty in that war. So he supported the war; as long as it wasn’t him that had to fight in it. How are the facts at odds with these statements? And please, I know this is the Pit but your gratuitous vitriol is embarrassing.
Also note he doubled up on his mission requirement beyond what Mormon missionaries normally do.
Romney spent his time in college showing up at pro-war rallies. He went off to hide in France to avoid the draft under the guise of spreading his faith.
Stop it. This is hard.
You want to try it?
Get into the ring.
All the reason for buying more of those high count Egyptian cotton sheets: it keeps those kids busy and unable to toss Molotov cocktails at our Embassy.
Around here, we call those condoms.
I think I’ll open a B&B called “The Blind Egyptian.” My hook will be a “sheet bar” where the patrons can browse the “sheet list” for just the right thread counts for their personal taste. I shall, of course, be the sheet steward. I’ll affect a French accent and treat my customers as if they are mildly retarded.
