Romney: "Americans don't like "believers of convenience."

[Skidmore]

Said that in his speech just a few minutes ago. I guffawed! Isn't that the best description of himself ever?

[maddezmom]

1. sounds like a stab at Rudy to me

:D But fits him just the same.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

2. His father marched with Martin Luther King?

Well, that's a factoid I didn't know.

[Faygo Kid]

5. His father was great on civil rights and his mother backed the ERA. Mitt is shameful.

George Romney was a great force in Michigan for civil rights. Lenore Romney was a feminist and passionate backer of the Equal Rights Amendment. They were Republicans of a type that no longer exist anywhere.

I am sure they are spinning in their graves about their son's hard and convenient turn to the right.

[ceile]

11. They sound like truly decent people.

What the hell happened to their boy?

[Faygo Kid]

18. I'm sure they would ask the same thing, if they were alive.

[Yavin4]

13. Michigan? I Thought That He Was From Mass?

He's like that Johnny Cash song, "I've from everywhere Man".

[book_worm]

16. He's like the chimp. Romney's dad was Gov of MI (so Romney can claim homestates in:

Michigan, Utah and Massachusetts).

3. My favorite line so far - you can't have faith without freedom and you can't have freedom without

faith.

So all you people without faith - did you know you weren't free? Well, according to Mitt, you aren't.

I have a feeling a lot of people may be surprised by this.

[progressoid]

4. Umm...Mitt...

How can I say this politely...

FUCK OFF

[Johonny]

12. you can't have faith without freedom

Now shut up sit down and do what the church tells you. Oh and keep sending those donations.

[Javaman]

15. welcome to the theocracy.

that line was for the mouth breathers in the audience that will say, "yeah, powerful words!" but won't actually sit down and think what it means.

mittshit, is a fuck. plain and simple.

[AlCzervik]

6. is that a slam on cafeteria catholics? sounds like it.

[Geoff R. Casavant]

7. Also a stab at McCain

Who as I recall recently announced he had always been a Baptist, or something like that.

[TwilightGardener]

8. Yep--that was some AWFUL pandering by McCain--to actually pretend

he's a Baptist when everyone knows he's Episcopalian. These guys HAVE to do this, or the GOP rejects them out of hand. Which is why I'm a Democrat.

[HughMoran]

9. Willard!

[HughMoran]

14. Or, better yet - WILLARD!!

[jpgray]

10. Yet all Americans are believers of convenience. What a wacky world, politics.

[ProgressiveFool]

17. What does this mean for my 7-11 stock? /nt

[porphyrian]

19. Since when does that crazy fuck get to speak for me? -n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Bwahahaha! Sounds like most pols at election time, "believers of convenience"
