Melody's Melodramatic Meltdown on Mitt Romney (Tounge Twister?)

Re: Melody's Melodramatic Meltdown on Mitt Romney (Tounge Twister?)

Found this interesting. Its anti-Romney, but not the way you think. Its from a Mormon-centric "watchdog" site on how Romney advanced the LGBT "agenda" during his time as governor. It kinda of paints a different picture than what the pro-Obama site is, but it also cites Romney's flip-flopping. However, it also reminds me of how Anderson Cooper has rather aggressively pointed out even tot he DNC chair that Romney's stance on LGBT issues doesn't really jibe with the GOP platform.

Mitt Romney’s step beyond same-sex ‘marriage’

It changes my mind very little about Obama or Romney - i still think they're both terrible for the country on the whole because they're really not that different - but if you're more mindful about social issues than other stuff it might be worth a read because it is not consistent with the narrative popular media and political ads are pushing against Romney. Could be this his supposed anti-LGBT stance is nothing but a load of hot air.

And really, I don't believe there's really been one president that's advanced LGBT such issues. In fact, its worth pointing out DADT and DOMA both came to be under Clinton and that Obama's push to have DADT was not 100% because like so many LGBT issues the "T' is apparently silent or tossed under the bus if it serves the rest of the acronym.

That would be kind of like how white feminists toss women of other races under the bus, how the black community will do it to other races and so one. Or how Obama or Romney will do it to the Latino vote if elected/re-elected, Oh wait, Obama already has:

So we have these two late-2012 180s from Obama on LGBT rights and immigration, but it feels like an opportunity and he's totally going to do something about them... maybe. He's the "best" we have now and can work for something better "next" time. At least that's what we can tell ourselves when the two-party system throws all of America under the bus again.

The ad's quite inspiring, and though Obama's been lacking,
I think that we can all agree to send Mitt Romney packing.

He's been doing a lot of great stump speeches though (which never seem to make it onto TV, you gotta catch CNN Live.com or other online sources). The guy's a hell of a motivator/speaker, when he get his foot out of his mouth for more than 5 seconds that is ROFL >.<


Oh Joe, we kid because we luv. But seriously, watch yer damn mouth son XD

Has anyone noticed how Joe Biden is out of most of Obama's poltical ads now instead of Biden, he's occasionally accompanied by his wife, Michelle?

She's a very beautiful lady, I don't think anyone would say otherwise, but she's not in the running here. Its just a recent change I've been noticing on the web ads.

I'll give you that one, it slipped my mind.

Everyone gets words wrong now and then - especially when reading from a teleprompter - but there's "occasional" and then there's the frequent, sometimes daily utterances from guys like Dan Quayle, G. W. Bush, and (to a large extent) Joe Biden.

Above and beyond that, Obama's flubs are generally borne out of honest mistakes instead of deliberate attempts to deceive. Ron Paul, as flawed as he may be, is similar in that respect - he may say stupid things out of ignorance of the facts, but he never gives you the impression that he's saying things to lead you down a path. You can't possibly say that about Mitt Romney with a straight face.

That's the 1 redeeming quality of RP that I like. I think a lot of his suggestions are crazy, but at least you know he's honest.

Honestly, for once, I'd like a president that came up from nothing, someone that actually lived the American dream rather than simply benefited from it.

Uh, Obama's pretty much the definition of that...

Food stamps, a father who left when he was still very young, struggling to find his identity as a bi-racial child. Then comes out of nowhere against all odds to win the nomination and the office. You can't make this shit up.

Someone like that would have too much sense to run for office.

Mitt Romney has a vacant stare and a shit-eating grim. Somehow I imagine limp, clammy handshake to go along with it. I know he's not sincere since I've met enough people with that quality to them. I have, however, had to watch people that also toss in "Let me tell you how it is" or "Let me break it down for you" because chronic bullshit is bound to follow those starting points.

And that's where Obama tends to get into trouble because he always paraphrases those things and you know the man has lived in as much privilege as anyone he's run against, at least privilege above and beyond our experience.

You were saying?

The press essentially picks what clips get played over and over to highlight a gaffe or not. I'm just showing it can be done to Obama for those willing to pay attention to the words he actually says. He's so confident those made-up words are actual words he doesn't miss a beat when repeating them.



Wish I did, but Reason.tv is about the best I've found this far for those with a more libertarian view.

I tend to get past Napolitano's fanboyism for Paul, though.

Does anyone know of a conservative news source that wouldn't make me sick to listen to? Obviously most Fox News anchors are out of the question. I tried listening to Judge Napolitano on Fox Business while he had his own show, but he was actually such a Ron Paul fanboy that even as a libertarian I couldn't stand to listen to him. Is there a good source on youtube maybe?

David Brooks also writes good articles and is a frequent guest on Charlie Rose.

Sure, but neither Clinton nor Reagan were particularly prone to foot-in-mouth disease. Ventura is much more like Dubya in that sense than either of the former.
