there's someting very strange about the cadence of Romney's speech

[cali]

I was just listening to his "religion" speech and it sounds as if was broadcast from 1938 or something. I can't really put my finger on it, but it sounds as if he comes from another time; if not the 30s than the 50s.

1. It's like he was voicecast out of Dudley Do-right

he has a cartoon tv announcer / game show host voice

...and the dyed hair to match
I saw him in one of the debates in hi-def.... yikes

5. OMG, Dudley Do-right is so on the mark!

2. Romney doesn't come from another time...he comes from another planet.

Just look at him! He's made out of plastic, or some odd foreign substance. He's cyborg, I tell ya!

9. Mormonism teaches that Earthlings came from other planets;

planted here to multiply in the name of different gods throughout the universe. This is much wackier than traditional Christian teachings. Joseph Smith took the Bible and created his own version of the beginnings of the human race. Sci Fi at it's finest. Like most religions, it is about control and power over the masses.

3. yep

he basically said that non-believers are not welcome to participate in our democracy.

4. Just like W, because whenever W speaks it comes across so pathetically phony. Of course it is

phony, so that is probably why.

6. Romney is the biggest flip flopper yet. Not to be trusted.

In 1994 & 2002 he was pro choice/ for gay rights/ women's rights/ religious diversity. Changed his position in 2002 to opposing positions on most of these issues. He will say anything to get what he wants; what he wants? Power. His first and only allegience is to his religion, and this comes before anything else, country, family and his own self.

7. Fuck Romney.

that is all. :mad:

8. Funny you mention that

I was listening to pieces of it on NPR this evening. I thought it sounded very...well...stilted. There was something about it that just wasn't right. (Aside from the fact it was Romney.)

My first reaction was that he seemed to be preaching. And I don't mean that based on the subject matter at all.

10. The creepiest/"wrongest" of all the candidates

IMO.
