2012 republican presidential nominee IV: NEEDS MORE BOOING

Humanizing touches be damned!

If a drunken robot could somehow get single-payer government-operated health care through Congress and sign it into law, bring the banks to heel and prosecute those who were culpable in fraud and malfeasance, limit the size of the armed forces to a reasonable peacetime force, while cutting the defense budget in half, and get a carbon-emissions-reduction policy in place that increased public mass transit options and put us on the path to renewable energy, then I'd vote for it, even if it had the world's ugliest paint job.

no brandon flowers is def mormon, prob the most successful mormon musician since donny and marie

have you guys never heard of David Archuleta

xp how would a robot get drunk idgi

have you guys never heard of David Archuleta

haha no i hadn't

Oh my god that kid.

He was a more earnest version of Bieber.

I envy every person who has never heard of him.

David Archuleta us going on a mission; you have a two-year break.

abbb did u go on a mission or did you make yr break prior to that?

Davy On A Mission

I left the church at 19; women don't go on missions until age 21, so no. I was kinda tempted to bcz I always wanted to be bilingual but there's no guarantee you'll get a calling outside the U.S. (tho there are some foreign language missions in the U.S.). Also more importantly I realized it would be dumb to spend 18 months (women's missions are shorter) actively preaching something I didn't totally believe in.

how would a robot get drunk

It would have to be programmed for it, obv

Mormons don't drink coffee you sillies

The former gov’s campaign posted a list of “what Mitt listens to on the road” through Spotify on Facebook on Friday. Here’s the 19 song playlist:

“I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow” by The Soggy Bottom Boys

in this context this reads like "I am a human being capable of frequent emotion"

The first of these struck me as, I don't know, a little over-earnest; when I read the second one, I figured the whole thing was a rather inspired put-on. They're both real.

Why do I get the feeling that Romney parachuted into Guam mid-week and dropped 20 million on attack ads? ("Rick Santorum is wrong for Guam...")

I love this, from the comments section:

And the Romney machine marches on!

"We're going to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands and Samoa and Puerto Rico, then we're going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! YEAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

few days old, good piece tho http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2012/03/super-tuesday-four-republican-candidates.html

Wonder if Romney is going to hurt himself with his post-nomination pivot. I mean physically. Like from the whiplash.

l-r: santorum, guam

treasured ilx meme grows up in her meme-face, amazing.

I think the daughter in question is the one in the background of the famous ilx meme-pic., where she is indeed still making the same face as she does today, but a tad bit happier now than then.

yep

Heartfelt; moving.

he seems really unwell.

like, he might die soon.

He looks like he is dying.

"A vote for Romney is a vote for my healthcare...wait."

that's a bold pattern on his shirt

ha that was my first and only thought

it makes an impression

is he wearing a cheesecloth

The Republicans’ war on TelePrompters is an example of why many in the party are wary about the GOP nomination fight extending all the way through June. Attacking TelePrompters might be a winning strategy (or at least part of one) in a Republican primary race but’s it hard to imagine any swing voters this November being persuaded by that line of attack.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/republicans-war-on-the-teleprompter--and-its-limits/2012/03/12/gIQAjuMV7R_blog.html?hpid=z2

the whole teleprompter meme is so hilarious and lame

but I thought the GOP loved Reagan!

Does that mean they want cue cards instead? Or a speech to be memorised? I just don't get it. If politics is to progress in helping the people, we need more Rick Perry moments but during important speeches, god dammit!?
