"They're all just the right size. I even see a few women out there with guns. I think that's great that you hard working stay-at-home moms don't leave home protection up to your nannies. That's just fantastic, really."

Regulation is bad. Oh my God he's quoting Will Rogers. Will Rogers would have laughed him out of town.

and about being "endowed by a Creator with unalienable rights". Normally, I wouldn't care about a candidate's religion. But he's raising the issue. Normally, I wouldn't care about a candidate's specific beliefs because all religions have weird doctrines. But Romney is rubbing it in our faces. He''s begging for someone to mention to the Fundies at the NRA that Romney's Creator is a space alien from another planet.

"There's no larger provider of health care for women and their babies than the Catholic Church"

So I guess they get to say what we can do. They own us via health care. Uh huh.

performance to POTUS's speech just the other day. No contest...

This is just excruciating...he's just randomly bringing up everything but the kitchen sink--no rhythm, no rhyme, no flow.

I'd have pulled that one out too. But he's claiming he wants to pull us together?

SLOWEST applause response so far. They weren't sure what his point was.

Or their bullshit detectors went off.

"Shoot first but only if you're at a firing range. Then it doesn't matter if you ask questions later."

"It's the size of the safe you store your guns in that matters - not how you use them."

Stay boring my friends.

Remember, folks, this woman STRUGGLED on a $250 million dollar bank account.
