Symmetry required it: 2012 american general election thread #2

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."

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?

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

Guys I was in the car and heard this on the radio and felt the need to text someone about my own emotional disturbance. Then went into a grocery store and they had some weird promotion involving piñatas. So many mixed emotions right now.

That will be the sentence that emerges from all of this. It will have to do battle with Clint.

the thing is it wasn't even climate change denial, it was just like 'lol...yeah we don't care'

i find it hard to believe that anyone could get any emotional impact off this, positive or negative

mitt very toothy tonight

LOLOLOL they're not sure what the answers are!!!

"no-o?"

hahahaha

"Do we want our schools to lag behind other schools?"
"... No? (Is this a trick question?)"

"the unspeakable darkness"...That will be noticed.

He should have ended with a DeanScream

I followed the last campaign reallllly closely and heard most all the major political/policy speeches Obama has given since being elected, and I have zero, zero recollection of him making any memorable and direct promises about "healing the planet" and whatever.

Seemed so out of left field as an attack, because who remembers Obama having said any such thing or anything even resembling it?

I hope someone remembered to remove the president from that mad scene up there.

full transcription of clint's speech - http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/rnc-2012-clint-eastwoods-speech-to-the-republican-convention-in-tampa-full-text/2012/08/30/4247043c-f314-11e1-a612-3cfc842a6d89_story.html

if you like the environment and say nice things then you think the planet needs healing and you can do it

that is why nixon approved the creation of the epa

this is why none of this really matters:
