Mitt Romney, the other is Tom Cruise. Which batshit-crazy, multimillionaire cult member do you sit next to, and why? Discuss.

(23,864 posts)...YOU can't even ask that question.
Erose....Erose....Erose- can I speak? Can I speak? You're being glib. Your question is glib. I know the history of buses and you're being glib just by asking that question.

I would hate to strike up a conversation with either, but I'd think that Cruise would jump on me about everything and try preaching to me. Romney'd just talk down to me.

(13,874 posts)Ask him why these damn poor students don't just sell off some of their investments to pay for college like he and his wife had to when they were struggling justacoupleof-millioniares. Or, instead of taking food stamps ask your parents for a $200,000 loan and start a business. Then I would ask to see his magic underwear.

If I had to sit next to him I would ----- ( Oops! better not put my thoughts in writing)

(26,165 posts)Even though he has ruined some of my favorite movies, I could still talk to him about the making of his movies.

(82,849 posts)And say, "Hey, it looks like there's a seat open up there next to Mitt Romney."
Failing that, I'd take my bike back off the bus rack and pedal to my destination.

(550 posts)they both smell good. At least.
But I'm an optimist. I stand on busses and trains and just read.
Cruise would probably preach at me and keep talking in my ear. Romney would probably just talk down to me, which I can drown out. So, I'd have to actually say Romney.
Ron Paul, though, would get thrown out the emergency exit as soon as I first lay eyes on him, though.

(15,392 posts)I would mutter under my breath about how powerful, "my lord, Xenu," is the entire trip.

(33,688 posts)in the unlikely event I'd see either on a bus. He takes up less space and would probably leave me alone after I pull my everpresent book out of my bag. Mittens would either try to gladhand me politically or start rattling on about his cult.

(40,416 posts)I would take out my iPad and surf over to Operation Clambake and laugh and laugh and laugh. I would elbow Cruise and keep sayin', "Do you see this shit?" and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I might even have a copy of the South Park Scientology episode on my computer. And as I watch it I would laugh and laugh and laugh.
Too bad George Carlin never explicitly took down Scientology. There would be a lot more laughing in the seat next to Mr. Galactically Stupid Cruise.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,380 posts)is because the "bus" is a million dollar customized Motorcoach where the sitting area has only a couch and two swivel recliners. You just got on either Mitts or Tom's Marathon and one has to wonder....
Why?

(692 posts)Actually I don't have a problem sitting next to anyone I happen to disagree with. But Romney probably takes a shower more frequently.

(2,952 posts)I think it would be an interesting conversation.....
I'm waaaaaay to Irish to sit next to mittens for any length of time...although he doesn't offend me nearly as much as Rove....I'd give romneys firstborn for 15 minutes in a stuck elevator with that doughy, sausage fingered douche-bag....
