Picture of the Day - The Mittster


With Mitt, it's always the same.
Mitt Romney is so vigilant about nutrition that he eats the same thing every day: his wife’s granola for breakfast, a chicken or turkey sandwich for lunch, and pasta, fish or chicken for dinner.

  • You know... this guy just creeps me out. He's a damn body snatcher, Stepford candidate. I don't give a fig about his personal faith, his religious affiliation or sexual preferences. I just want a damn human being in the White House!

  • I know what you're saying, but I see it the other way.

    After having this "principled" president who has followed his beliefs despite all best advice and led this country into the crapper, I really wouldn't mind another flexible president.

    Maybe that's why Clinton doesn't bother me like she does so many people.

  • Agreed about faith. That's why I said personal faith. Jimmy Carter had personal faith, but he was not a theocrat or proselytizer. He understood the difference between personal faith and a public religion.

    So, I don't care that Mitt is a Morman. I do care if he thinks I should be a Morman to be a better American, in the same way I care that Bushians think I should be a Protestant evangelical. (yes, I know many neo-con think-tankers are Jews, but you (hopefully) know what I'm talking about).

    To paraphrase Mr. Colbert, I want someone who WILL think differently on Wednesday than he/she did on Monday because of what happens on Tuesday.

  • Exactly.

    I don't necessarily see flipping as a fault.

  • Also, I don't think he would try to convert people.

    I personally don't believe Romney will stick to any of his far right positions if he were to win the primary. I think he'd end up being primarily a centrist and compromiser.

    He would probably have to throw some bones to the right (judges? abstinence/sex?) but I think his policy would end up being pretty mainstream.
