Romney IS weird

[ruggerson]

who the hell straps a dog to the top of an SUV for a three hour road trip. Or any kind of trip, for that matter.

Who sits with a group of unemployed Americans and claims he can relate to them, because he is "unemployed" too.

The guy is Richard Nixon level weird and there is nothing wrong with pointing it out.

Repeatedly.

1. Ah, Now You're Fired

David Axelrod has just fired you.

16. Stop imitating Trump! nt

2. K&R

That dog story turns my stomach. He's a piece of shit - and a weird one, at that. :)

[NJCher]

3. creepy, inappropriate behavior

You can call it weird if you want, but that's what I'm going to call it.

Extrapolate to what he might do as president.

I shudder.

4. Corporations are people too!

Sometimes if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck...well, it probably is a duck. :)

5. And how's that weirdness compared to ...

... Bachmann's and Perry's insane craziness?

[starroute]

18. There's a difference between creepy and crazy

Bachmann and Perry are batshit crazy.

But Romney gives off a kind of perverty, decayed-bodies-under-the-floorboards vibe.

[nevergiveup]

6. I agree

but Richard Nixon, weirdness and all, carried 49 states.

7. He does lack common sense

In addition to your points, he's worth between $190-230 million, racked up as a vulture capitalist at Bain, and he stridently claims corporations are people as a defense for not touching their taxes.

He won't wear well. The Republicans know him best and many despise him with much greater feeling than the average Dem.

8. Axelrod has threatened to fire any one from WH who uses this

line.

Is this a GOP trick? Planting this to get Dems
to use it so they get hits at Romney without
making them themselves. Just wondering.

[PatSeg]

19. Or is it a Dem tactic

to get the meme out there that, "Oh yeah, he is kind of weird", by declaring he isn't. They get to say, "Romney is weird" without taking responsibility for it.

The GOP has been using that kind of maneuver forever - "Obama says he isn't a Muslim and I take him at his word".

9. What's this about strapping a dog to the hood?

Got a link?

[Peregrine Took]

10. He's a creepy dude. Reminds me of an alien from a distant planet. See link.

15. Romney, with his knack for the inappropriate

Would probably call the dog's ride "fun!"

Sheesh, what an effing @#%@$hole. I never knew the whole story on this.

How I loathe these "people."

11. The same guy who feels the instinctive urge to sing "Who let the dogs out" when near black children?

[Enthusiast]

23. I had forgotten that one.

The guy just has no sense of propriety, at all.

[pansypoo53219]

12. not weird. just a selfish asshole.

a reagan publikkklan.

[ellenfl]

13. i think the best description of his demeanor in front of an

audience is 'awkward'. not to mention, he has no empathy.

14. Every one of the Republican candidates is weird.

It's just a question of degree - a contest among weirdos.

17. Pretty Boy Droid

Child of wealth and weird to the bone.

20. Nixon was paranoid and a dork. Romney is just plain weird.

[Hart2008]

21. Mitt is a Twitt! NT

[Enthusiast]

22. Last primary season some news agency or

other played a little candid clip of Mittens. He was sooo freakin' weird. I've never forgotten how weird the guy was in that clip -like he was extra-terrestrial or something.
