Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, February 02, 2012

In response to a commentary by Kathleen Parker that Americans can't identify with Mitt Romney because he's "too perfect," former John Boehner aide Scott Galupo argues for U.S. News and World Report that the idea is absurd. "Romney's principal problem isn't a lack of personal connection with people. It's that he irritates people. He's a transparent phony who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony," Galupo writes. "Mitt Romney is a rancid impostor."

The problem isn't that Mittens isn't too perfect. It's that he's a democrat with an "R" by his name. There are only 2 parties in this country: Sellouts and Non-Sellouts.

Ron Paul has never sold out! Ron Paul 2012!

"Ron Paul has never sold out! Ron Paul 2012!"
*eye roll*

Only 46 more toes, er uh...

46 more STATES to go.

Rotten, Rancid Rmoney

He is a rancid imposter. When I look at him, I tend to think "this guy isn't racid at all; he's just pretending to be...that imposter!"

Now to be honest: "Romney's principal problem isn't a lack of personal connection with people. It's that he irritates people. He's a transparent phony who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony,"

AKA: Romney is to the RNC what Kerry was to the DNC.

Ron Paul has never sold out! Ron Paul 2012!

Ron Paul has already climbed in bed with Rmoney to get to sit at the grown-up table in Miami.

And while he may be a rancid imposter, he's the GOP's Anointed Rancid Imposter. Now get back in line!

Ron Paul has never sold out!

Not for lack of trying. More because nobody was buying what he was selling.

And to be honest, Ron Paul sells out everytime he puts that R behind his name given everything he tends to say about the GOP.

"Mitt Romney is a rancid impostor."
I don't necessarily disagree and that is why I don't support him as the GOP nominee. However, in the event he becomes the nominee, lets consider his basic accomplishments: Gubbenor of a state, very successful business executive and he led a real change in turning around the very fucked up Salt Lake City Olympics. Compare this to Barry's accomplishments: He was born 1/2 black, 3.5 years as a U.S. Senator, can read real good off a teleprompter (we'll forgive his inability to pronounce "corps"), and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Based upon the above, who would you rather have as a leader?

Obama was selected by Wall Street as the best candidate to appease the masses while permitting the pillaging and plundering to continue.

The Rethug field is overloaded with candidates so flawed they cannot beat Obama. How does one explain this outcome? It is entirely consitent with being rigged, just like every Shrub election.

Always nice to see the baseless opinion of the DR's resident mental deficient.

"AKA: Romney is to the RNC what Kerry was to the DNC."

Except Romney took deferments while Kerry served. Except Kerry came back and JOINED WITH ROMNEY'S DAD in opposing the Vietnam War. Kerry has character, the younger Romney has none.

You only wish you had 1/10th his intelligence. I don't necessarily agree on everything but I wouldn't be dumb enough to challenge him to a debate either.

Debating with bricks is usually not much fun. Look on the bright side, Danni: You two would make a great couple.

Swing and a miss. Look at the quote again:

"Romney's principal problem isn't a lack of personal connection with people. It's that he irritates people. He's a transparent phony who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony,"

That is EXACTLY what Kerry's problem was: he never connected with the people. He irritated them. He was seen as a phony AKA Flip flopper.

Personal hit pieces. So typical.

Except Romney is more exciting than Kerry.
Of course, that's not saying much.

Not by much. The two are interchangeable and the criticism of the DNC on Rmoney is pretty much recycled from the RNC Kerry file.

"That is EXACTLY what Kerry's problem was: he never connected with the people. He irritated them. He was seen as a phony AKA Flip flopper."

By some but people like me remembered him from the Vietnam War protest days and knew him to be a decent American just like Romney's dad. I was giving my opinion of Romeny not so much commenting on Galupo's.

"The two are interchangeable and the criticism of the DNC on Rmoney is pretty much recycled from the RNC Kerry file."

Oh, then the Swiftboat Liars will be out any day soon?

They already are. If you don't think yesterday's "Rmoney doesn't care about the poor" play was right out of the Swiftboat playbook, you are sadly mistaken. Of course, you are a Swiftboater right now, so why would you admit to it?

We can compare tactics if you wish:

Which side took a true story, removed context, then reshaped it into the spin they wanted to use to portray a candidate as "cold" and "uncaring?"

The answer: The RNC with Kerry and the DNC with Rmoney.

"Except Romney took deferments while Kerry served. "

Couldn't care less about that.
Military service should never be used as a yardstick to measure a candidate.

Especially when it comes to that atrocious waste in Viet Nam.
Would I have taken a deferment to avoid going there? FUCK, YES.

Kerry's platform consisted of two things:
1. He wasn't Bush
2. He spent time in Viet Nam

And, aside from being an effective soporific, that's about it.

I don't hold avoiding Vietnam against someone unless they start a war. If I were alive then, I would have joined the ROTC program AKA "Run Over To Canada."

Nope, not by much.

"Couldn't care less about that.Military service should never be used as a yardstick to measure a candidate."

When that candidate is talking war it is. Definitely is in Romney's case. "Kerry's platform consisted of two things: 1. He wasn't Bush2. He spent time in Viet Nam"

Baloney. One thing he wanted to do was to change the tax system to discourage outsourcing. Gee whiz I sure wish we would have done that. He wouldn't have slashed taxes and created a housing bubble either.

"I don't hold avoiding Vietnam against someone unless they start a war"
I don't either after they admit they were wrong. I'm still waiting for Romney's apology. Now he wants war with Iran. He's dangerous.

"Would I have taken a deferment to avoid going there? FUCK, YES."

Fine, but then don't protest the war protesters.

More swiftboating.

Rmoney held a sign that said "Speak Out, Don't Sit In." He was not protesting the protesters, but their action of seizing campus buildings.

Bwhahaha. Rancid? The Boogieman is .....rancid?

"who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony"

LMFAO!

Based upon the above, who would you rather have as a leader?

Um, I'd prefer the candidate who didn't print up official cards with himself dressed as Superman because he "saved" the Olympics.

You hate Obama so much your head won't turn to see the bus headed at you. I saw a lot of this from Republicans prior to the election of W.

The big difference being: People were naive concerning Bush II. In 2012, everyone seems to know that Willard Romney is dogshit.

Would I have taken a deferment to avoid going there (Nam)? FUCK, YES.

Some needs to ask Willard, preferably in a live debate, if he now regrets getting a tan in Provencal rather than the Iron Triangle.

I'd bet a sawbuck that the query makes the man choke. Yes, it's entirely right that no one's described Willard as a being a hero. The real question is whether we can find one who'll attest that he's a man.

"who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony"
LMFAO!

Best President since Ike. Suck it up KBM, you guys can't elect anybody but crooks, traitors or idiots to the WH. Sadly it usually takes you 6 years to realize what the liberals told you BEFORE the election was the truth.

"More swiftboating."

Then I'll expect a check from the Koch Brothers. How long did they swiftboat Kerry anyway??? Like 30 years! Sorry Kanrei, I just don't have that kind of dedication.

I don't hold avoiding Vietnam against someone unless they start a war.

Agreed. Which makes Rmoney an ass when he stands on the podium, promising to send thousands of Americans to die in Iran But worse, is Nonservice Newtsy, who wants to invade everybody, from Iran to Cuba to the moon.
