Symmetry required it: 2012 american general election thread #2

yeah he just wants to be left alone w/ his pile of money and gun collection

that makes him a moderate republican these days

romney doesn't move his body at all when he talks. do u think candidates who talk more w/ their bodies/hands get trained not to do that when they run for higher offices?

HUG YOUR KIDS A LITTLE LONGER

jimgeraghty Oh, f*** you, protesters. As if a candidate delivering a national address uninterrupted is too much to ask.

i just turned on the tv to make sure it was on the right station (didn't want the dvr to cut off at 11 if it went over, and holy cow the face that man is making.

...one giant leap for unctuousness

unctuousness looks like a smiling lubricated asshole

Best They Could Get Accepts Republican Nomination

August 30, 2012 | ISSUE 48•35 | More News

TAMPA, FL—Addressing thousands of faithful GOP supporters at the Republican National Convention Thursday evening, the best they could get right now formally accepted the party’s nomination for the presidency of the United States.

“It is a great honor to stand before you all today and accept your nomination for president,” the only real viable alternative they had, given the options, told the assembled GOP delegates at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. “Together, we will take America in a new direction. Together, we will win the White House.”

With Thursday night’s speech, the by no means perfect choice what are you gonna do finally reached the end of a difficult nomination process, having beaten a field of challengers in the primaries that included they’d have to be crazy, not a chance, and the absolute worst-case scenario....

these desperately ingratiating facial expressions r killing me

what is this love shit

WTF is this guy ON about?

this rose story really endears romney's father to me

He's got that one mannerism where he sounds so sad when his voice trails off.

the second i saw was straight up "if you were running for president i'd vote for you"

WAHT

lol i know they wanted to "humanize" him but this unconditional love business is out of control

he just announced his cabinet?????

Gawker with the Clint vid:

Haven't been watching any of this, actually. Will cause my anxiety levels to skyrocket. Drinking beer and getting ready to head to the Glass Candy/Chromatics show in an hour instead.

he's going to rip off his shirt to reveal a care bear belly beneath

"unconditional love!"

It would have been so great if he'd accidentally said "pile of money" instead of "pile of kids."

definitely, these guys can be amazingly impressionable and self-conscious when their handlers tell them what to do, how to look

maybe ann shoulda ran for president

Mitt is doing a great job convincing me that everyone else in his family would be a better President than him

um, ann has a much more important job than potus guys - she's a mom

Communities doing much better tonight than four years ago.

lol dan

he kinda rubs his cheek against his shoulder like a shy little boy

its baffling they think this half assed pandering will work

Albert Brooks ‏@AlbertBrooks

That's what I thought! RT @dagdahlcast: Clint's doing an old Albert Brooks routine!

Clint referred to himself as a "movie tradesman"

JonahNRO Ooof. I think Barack Obama just felt a terrible disturbance in the force.

I don't understand the mindset of anyone watching this going "OH YEAH"

steve jobs came back and changed the world by building iphones for liberal yuppies

Mitt's wistful look up in the air is hilarious

haha yeah it's been happening nonstop

Oof. I think JonahNRO just felt his dick get hard in the Target parking lot.

JonahNRO Ooof. I think Barack Obama just felt a terrible disturbance in the force.

which of these equally exchangeable banal remarks was jonah swooning over?

omigod all Mitt's fucking punch lines are falling flat

Times like these remind me of how deeply I love ILX

i've been watching with the sound off and his expression really doesn't change at all

OMG

YES! FUCK THE PLANET!!!! WOO-HOO
