I will open with this:Was in a hotel room the other day, flipping through channels on the tv. Came upon "The View," the one with the 3 random chicks and Barbara Walters.
They were watching some video of Obama, I don't even know what because I was surfing. The 4 women started talking over each other about how eloquent he was, and how his manner made them feel safe.
Unlike Romney, who, they said as they talked over each other, they didn't know much about him and that made him seem mysterious and evil. As they talked over themselves I heard, "Romney is mysterious and evil" about 5 times in 6 seconds. Then the young blonde woman, in an infantile voice, said, "Womney is mystewious and evil."
So there it is. Womney is mystewious and evil, according to some highly intelligent women.
Then I turned the channel because I am positive I lost about 4 IQ points, instantly.

Actually, I think the young blonde woman is Elizabeth Hasselbeck. I know that because her husband is/was a NFL QB. Anyway, she's the sole Republican voice on The View. She gets slammed constantly for her political views by the other hosts. IF she's still on the show...
So her saying that, imho, would most likely be her mocking the others.

THAT would be funny.
I have no context... I don't know when one would be mocking.

Romney gets heckled at a speech, has a pretty good comeback, then tells Obama to get his campaign out of the gutter.< http://www.therightscoop.com/awesome....-gutter >

The black guy in the pink shirt caught my attention because he never moved in that whole video.

I'd consider voting for this Paul Ryan guy for President. Can we flip that ticket?

< Hackers extorting Romney over tax returns? >

An anonymous posting on a file-sharing website said the returns were stolen Aug. 25 from the accounting firm's office. After "all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied," the posting said, flash drives containing encrypted copies of his pre-2010 tax records were sent to the firm and to Republican and Democratic party offices.
You sent encrypted files as proof of the UN-encrypted data you have? Must be hackers that don't understand checksums or hashing.

I agree with the things he said about the muslims killing those American diplomats:< http://www.mittromney.com/news....-needed >
QUOTE
“Four diplomats lost their life, including the U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, in the attack on our embassy at Benghazi, Libya. And, of course, with these words, I extend my condolences to the grieving loved ones, who have left behind, as a result of these who have lost their lives in the service of our nation, and I know that the people across America are grateful for their service and we mourn their sacrifice.
“America will not tolerate attacks against our citizens and against our embassies. We will defend also our constitutional rights of speech and assembly and religion. We have confidence in our cause in America. We respect our Constitution. We stand for the principles our Constitution protects. We encourage other nations to understand and respect the principles of our Constitution because we recognize that these principles are the ultimate source of freedom for individuals around the world.
“I also believe the Administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. It's never too early for the United States Government to condemn attacks on Americans, and to defend our values. The White House distanced itself last night from the statement, saying it wasn't ‘cleared by Washington.’ That reflects the mixed signals they’re sending to the world.
“The attacks in Libya and Egypt underscore that the world remains a dangerous place and that American leadership is still sorely needed. In the face of this violence, America cannot shrink from the responsibility to lead. American leadership is necessary to ensure that events in the region don’t spin out of control. We cannot hesitate to use our influence in the region to support those who share our values and our interests. Over the last several years, we have stood witness to an Arab Spring that presents an opportunity for a more peaceful and prosperous region, but also poses the potential for peril, if the forces of extremism and violence are allowed to control the course of events.

I did not like what Obama had to say about "we dont like debasing anyones religion" or whatever his exact quote was. It's like they killed Americans and he apologizes for it.
edit - found the exact quote
QUOTE
Appearing with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in the White House Rose Garden, Obama said: “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, but there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal attacks.”
Fuck that, I reject all efforts to denigrate free speech.

< Romney releases all of his tax returns. >Meanwhile, the "candidate of transparency" continues to withhold his college transcripts. Nobody in the unbiased MSM gives a shit.

I can't stand watching politicians speak mostly. But I kinda like Romney here:< http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIHbe-aO6oI >

I stopped watching about a minute in. Does it get better than an awkward Jay Leno delivery?

No, but...come on

It had a better vibe to it than the time B-Rock broke out into some impromptu (my ass) soul karaoke, I'll give it that.
I'm about 10% tempted to vote for Romney just because his opponent is coming off like a dumb-ass and inept whereas Mitt's just radiating "dumb-ass." Still can't do it, though.

I was commenting to my roommate, "Whew, just a few more weeks until those fucking commercials end.""I haven't really seen a lot. But no candidate really advertises on Adult Swim." The more I think about it, the more I might vote for the dude that does.
Posted by GORDON on Oct. 20 2012,10:37
Adult Swim is 80% of the of the tv i watch.
Posted by Malcolm on Oct. 20 2012,14:48
That is the demographic typically otherwise known as "people who don't vote."
