Does Mitt Romney seem plastic to you?
He does to me. Totally, completely, everlastingly phony and pliable enough to simply blow with the political breezes.

1. He's the prototype for the new "Stepford Candidate". (NT)

2. His skin is amazingly life-like, you'd never know its plastic.

3. Please don't insult plastic...
Seriously though, the man fits the stereotype of a Volvo sales manager.

"What do I have to do, to get you into this fine automobile today!"

I wish to God we could run against him. He's such a tool.

He also reminds me of Kronk from "The Emperor's New Groove".

4. Maybe not a Volvo sales manager
After all, even if you overpay, you still get a Volvo, which is a pretty nice car. Fools who are duped into buying a Romney will soon long for the days when they had a Yugo sitting in their driveway.

10. Ok, how about a...
Lincoln Towncar sales manager? :)

You're right. He's too good for the Volvo.

He comes off as having a major ego, so I think he'd sell cars for people with big egos.

Maybe Hummers...or Ferraris...

sorta like the Terminator. Except totally ineefective and lame, like the "robot" Woody Allen turned into in "Sleeper."

4. unctuous; fawning; smarmy.

Mitt Romney is oleaginous, like a Volvo sales manager. Of course, plastic is a derivative of oil.

9. Plastic Mannequin with the Repub. hand up his arse....
Erasable Slate,, a little out of date, but portable
Mitt Romney is one of those mannequin type dolls that you can dress up in any Republican outfit you want and he still looks like a Republican. Like a vapid Barbie, he has no brains but the public is more interested in the outfit and hairdo than the empty head. He has a hunting outfit, a casual canvassing/meet the common man outfit, a Sunday Go To Meeting outfit, and his Presidential outfit, among others that George H.W. Bush and the Bushistanians like to dress him in. I highly suspect there's a little Karl Rove in his colon, making him talk and mimic whatever the latest Repug polls are suggesting is the most popular and vague value/du jour of the day (I know that was redundant).

Yes, he's a little outdated. He's a little old fashioned in that funky Reaganesque 50's sit com sort of way. Yes he's a little more than stupid and dull and easily duped, but he's the perfect spokesmodel for the Republican voters, who themselves have had to embrace an equally clueless and ill informed, outdated mode of thinking in order to cling to what they hope are the values of their silly party platitudes.

They needed an empty chalkboard slate to write their latest values on. He comes with a foam eraser so when they need to change, it's just a flick of the wrist and he's ready to recieve the newest idea written in white chalk so it's not permanant.

Mitt has changed coats so often I suspect anyone trying to follow his position would end up with a neck injury. He'll jettison loyalties faster than grease through a goose when it comes to holding true to any value he professes at at the moment.

Whenever I see Mitt Romney, even from when he was helping SLC with it's Olympic Games challenges I get the distinct impression of a very slick used car salesman and the American people are the suckers. Maybe it isn't his oily countenence and nasaly tone but more the sanctimonious sneer and practiced nods. He comes from a long line of Mormons who've perfected this "Public Persona" in their weekly meetings, BYU and televised broadcasts. That half turn at the podium and head nod that suggests he's coming down a notch to casual, "I'm going to let you in on the secret" pose.

I grew up Mormon and saw this all the time, especially in the church heirarchy. The more they blink their eyes in a practiced show of "Deep spiritual sincerity" and soften the voice to a BYU pentameter and sing songy tone, the bigger the lie they're telling. The Mormon leaders are so skilled at this tactic andit's been practiced from the inception of the church by their biggest leader/liar, Joseph Smith. Brigham Young mastered it better than any in his time and his manipulation of the press and our govt. for his dirty and corrupt secrets and power is legendary. The documentation is overwhelming on all these counts. I believe Mitt Romney is just the latest puppet mouthpiece in this church's history of lies, manipulation, and absolute distortion of truth, history, or fact. They invented obsfucation. Go to http://www.mormoncurtain.com / and do a little browsing.

The Mormon people aren't bad, just their doctrine and religious practices. Beware America if you are foolish enough to support or elect such a charletan. He has been conditioned from birth to close his eyes to reality, fact, or reason.

Pinnochio wants to become a "Real Boy" but he just can't stop lying and so his nose grows and grows. He can't help it, he comes from a long line of such purveyors of obfuscation and revisionist history and he's been so well trained in the art that it's second nature to change positions, to re position his position, to deny, cover up and feign ignorance at the lies or inconsistancies. Yes, he's a dyed in the wool McMormon, but that makes him ripe for the kind of distortion necessary to be the perfect wooden puppet for the Republican Puppetmasters.

If you want to know how many Mormon Leaders have practiced "lying for the Lord" in the past, here's an in-depth link. This man's experience is very common among those who try to leave or make sense of the church doctrine. http://www.exmormon.org/whylft149.htm
