Omg, that image isn't a photoshop job? Hahahahahaha. Did he place a sizable bet on Obama winning or something? I can't imagine anyone in their right mind thinking this could be a good idea.
2012 Presidential Election Discussion

Romney revealed he was a troll ever since he picked Ryan.
Pretty much this. But before that, I actually thought he was semi-serious, so he did a pretty good job.
-
Oh wow, I can't believe I'm not surprised that Mitt would do something like this.
Also, apparently all of his recent flubs/peeks into his actual personality are related to how messed up the structure of the campaign is, if this Politico article is right. If you basically have one guy making all of the decisions related to the campaign then of course it's going to end up looking like a total disaster.

a tertiary glance of the local paper reveals obama up by 21 points in well my state. pretty kick ass one other thing; does this election seem like boring i mean shitt is a terrible canidate and obama is so command it fell as tho theres no tension unlike 2008..
-
I expect Romney to announce another overseas trip to burnish his foreign credentials before the debates any day now. It'd likely include a visit to Paris where he'll dress up as a mime and act out scenes from The Bellhop. Next comes a trip to Italy where he identifies his favorite Italian actor as "that Mario guy." Then it's off to a whirlwind tour of Scandanavian where he'll dress as a cook and throw plates over his shoulders.
Complicating things since 2009.

Well, it's not like everyone in the U.S is laughing/groaning at Mitt's recent mistakes…...some people, even after all this, still support the guy.
But I think the 47% comment really put him in a state of no-return. Or maybe it was backing Paul Ryan?

I'm honestly waiting for him to offer Rio advice on how to host the Olympics.

Lord, can you imagine?
I can relate to the great people of Brazil. My father was almost Mexican after all. You might say that we've all got a little Spanish inside of us.
Then comes the inevitable press conference later when Mitt explains that he does in fact know that Brazilians are actually Portugese, but a person can't always keep track of the little things.
-
I have a Brazilian brother-in-law. You wanna know how to piss off Brazilian American citizens? Call Brazilians Spanish. Say that they speak Spanish. Say Argentina is better than Brazil.
Romney, Romney, Romney…
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Honestly, I'd say Romney should keep his fat mouth shut, but then one of his supporters will do something 10x worse.
This campaign...
-
I guess it is…
for Mitt Romney's campaign.

Vote for Chris Murphy if you want to boost Obama's chances of having a senate that actually works with him, don't get complacent just because we're going definitely presidentially blue here.
Though is it seriously 21+ lol?? I thought we were a little closer than THAT haha, CT <3
-
Can't wait until Romney takes a swing at black voters and fails hilariously.
-
Hey, there's still a chance Obama could do something horribly wrong that ruins everything. He could dangle a baby out of a window in front of a crocodile or something.
-
Or put his dog on the roof of a car.
-
Or rap with Ice Cube.
-
So, hey, what did the Daily Show have to say about Romney's comments and the ensuing fallout?
-
God I missed this thread.
-
"Are there NO rules on bullshit mountain." Daily Show at it's best.
-
Jon can somehow say the same thing others are saying, and make it million times funnier.
EDIT: From huffpost
I know for a fact that there are 24 MILLION Americans who absolutely pay no taxes of ANY KIND, and simply cannot take care of themselves! They have refused to take charge of their own lives and get honest jobs.
Yes, I am speaking of the population that is aged 0 to 10 years, and something must be done about this rabble! -
it makes me sad that the only people who will hear him are the people who pretty mcuh already know this stuff.

Story of my life: "Well, at least my DEMOGRAPHIC will listen to me."
That's also the story of everybody's political career.
-
When you think about it, anybody who really believes in this whole 47% are entitled business would walk up to a survivor of, say, Pearl Harbor or Anzio, listen to their life story, and then respond with "Yeah, well, what have you done for us lately?"
-
I like using this to counter the 47% thing. There's an extremely good image macro related to the 47% business too:
!
Anyway, Romney and Obama were both on 60 minutes tonight. Obama looked tired (I think it was filmed right after shit went down in Libya) and Romney kept who knows what, but didn't make a total fool of himself. So the usual business.

Making post-fundraiser comments this weekend, presidential candidate Mitt Romney revealed a tenuous grip on the science of aviation, despite the fact that he and his wife, Ann, have been flying around the country this summer on the
campaign trail.After his wife's plane was forced to make an emergency landing this weekend, Romney told the Los Angeles Times, he was
worried for her safety. The candidate then continued on a bizarre tangent that
showed just how little the Republican nominee understands about flight.“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and
sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney
told the paper. “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly."Romney said the biggest problem in a distressed aircraft is that "the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous."
The main reason airplane windows don't open is because there isn't enough oxygen at cruising altitude to
keep passengers alive. (The fear of window or cabin failures, which would lead to potentially fatal hypoxia, is why many planes are equipped with emergency oxygen masks.)"You can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open," Romney told the Times, suggesting that additional oxygen in the cabin during the electrical malfunction
could've alleviated the problem. In fact, if there were an electrical fire on
board, additional oxygen would have fed the flames.Strangely, Romney seemed to acknowledge the importance of oxygen later in his comments.
"Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe
landing in Denver," he said.Hypoxia aboard aircraft has led to many fatalities over the years, including the 1999 crash that killed golfer Payne
Stewart. In 2005, Helios Airways Flight 522 crashed, killing all 121 aboard
after the crew was incapacitated.I never want this to end.
-
Which part is scarier.
That he doesn't understand what laws of combustion are, or that he's unaware that letting air in a plane, fire or not, is pretty much a gurantee crash. -
What an inspirational figure, you can tell he's really grounded
-

He's certainly putting on airs

Y'know I'm not against the idea of Romney attempting to open his airplane windows.

Enough with these flights of fancy, Romney is the man for me

Yeah, his candidacy has been plane on fire recently

Basically every poll that comes out now is lol.
I even saw a few that suggested North Carolina is getting purple again. Which while probably still going Romney, still means his campaign has to spend money there just to ensure it.Honestly the thing that really is fucking him isn't even him being one of the worst candidates ever or the recent spat of gaffes. It's the auto-bailout.
The upper Midwest/Lakes states were effected by that very muchly and like Obama for that obviously.
It pretty much put Ohio and DEFINITELY Michigan in the bag for O. Which was damned hard electoral math for Romney to begin with. -
I don't know…
North Carolina ended up blue last year. I don't know how it can turn red for Romney, but not McCain.
-
Mitt Romney is the most interesting man in the world!
-
I'm beginning to agree with the guy who said this is the most elaborate trolling exercise in history.
-
I'm just wondering what he could possibly do worse prior to election day. Surely Romney can't be completely tapped out yet.
-
At this point, Obama almost doesn't have to say anything.
-
Romney's such a car crash lately I kinda feel bad watching it.
-

Me I'm just getting excited on the implications of it all, especially if Obama doesn't just squeeze by but gets a nice good electoral victory like he did last time (which the polls seems to be hinting at).
The Republicans really might die even earlier than we thought before a new political realignment happens.
Sixth Party System ahoy!I'm seeing the Republicans NOT surviving, I'm seeing the Democratic party stretching to fit new attentions and demographics before splitting into new parties. Republicans might survive, but that depends on wether they give up on the Tea Party or not. If they don't they die.
EDIT: I am of course talking a process that could well take thirty or so years. This election just being the start of all that.

Remember that Univision debacle? Apparently some crazy stuff was going on behind the scenes, and the Romney campaign realized he wouldn't have enough supporters there, so they demanded the ability to bus people in…
The concessions were made, and Romney enthusiasts were bussed in.
But even after that, according to Salinas, Romney himself almost cancelled the forum minutes before it was scheduled to begin because he had an issue with the introduction made by one of the anchors.
Salinas's co-anchor, Jorge Ramos, said in the introduction to the broadcast that Romney had agreed to sit with Univision for 35 minutes and Obama agreed to give the network a full hour.
Romney allegedly became furious and refused to appear onstage. After negotiating with the Republican candidate, the anchors agreed to make the statement at the end of the broadcast.
Salinas called the entire exchange "awkward."
Observers of the forums pointed out the enthusiasm gap between Romney's Univision appearance and President Barack Obama's. Romney was backed by a crowd that frequently cheered his answers, and booed the moderators asking the questions. Obama's supporters were noticeably less vocal.:blink:

It's funny because Joe is a republican lol.

Biden! Biden? Obama! Biden? Obama! Biden? Obama!

it's not as catchy

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for Romney.
In a shallow offering of pitty sense.
Sorta like that episode of Maximum Exposure I watched as a kid. It featured this man climbing a traffic light and then falling to the road. The video ends with him limping to rest in the grass with a huge gaping smile on his face, while the cameraman calls him an idiot(no "are you alight?"). I never laughed so much in my entire life. -
HOLY $#%*ING LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Someone married their stepmom and then got murdered?
Sounds like he used a monkey paw to make a porno story come true.
Then the curse of the paw eventually killed him.
-
There's apparently a new poll out that shows Romney with a 3% lead in Arizona. There haven't been many polls conducted there, but it seems to be close enough that the Obama Campaign is actually considering putting money into the state.
-
Part of me wants Romney to win in hopes of an utter lolfest of a presidency like Bush
Sure everything in the country would go immediately to hell, but at least we'd go down laughing
-
I love how obvious the cutoff date is.
-
What did I tell everybody? 0% chance of losing from the moment they gave Romney the candidacy.
