Tried to make like he was a moderate at that debate, after wearing the colors of the teabaggers and birthers and other assorted vermin for all these years...

He's got a lot in common with this little critter. They're both REPTILES!!!

But there aren't enough of them to vote him in so they understand and wink/nudge and enable him to say whatever necessary to get the Peasant Vote.

They're instant gratification creatures. Their way or the highway. If a candidate isn't as batshit crazy and obvious about it as Bachmann, they're very, very disappointed. And when they're disappointed, they stay home on Election Day. And I'm fine with that.

Oh, it isn't about me. You see, my mom watched, and she thought the bragging about Romney's debate performance was embarrassing. My mom is one of those people who likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. In Romney, she saw a very ugly person spewing gibberish on stage.

I know you want this to be Romney's moment, and it is: He's getting slammed for his lies and called out for a bullshit apology.
