Exactly, when Mitt Romney attempts to act like a 'regular person', he comes across as simultaneously weird and clueless. When Mitt is in regular guy campaign mode, he comes across like Borat without the accent.
It's mostly the way he says things. Someone else brought up the time when he talked about "sport" instead of sports, the way normal people do.
He turns into this badly programmed robot when he tries to relate to the common people and just doesn't quite get it. This new comment was funny because of course "hot dog" isn't a meat. If he had said "I love hot dogs and burgers, even more than steak!" it wouldn't have been funny because it's not about what he eats (or doesn't eat, I have no idea if he actually likes hot dogs or not although if I had to bet I'd go with not).
But hey, it gave a whole bunch of people a chance to attack me personally because apparently I'm the only one on the POC forum here at CD who ever posts a thread making fun of a politician on the other side. Shocking I know. After all, the Republicans here have been unceasingly gracious about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama for starters and nary a mean word has ever been posted about them.
re the bolded.
Additionally, IMO, he exhibits a particular 'flavor' of 'stiltedness' that is decidedly Mormon in nature. A Mormon married into my family a generation ago (marrying a pretty much non denominational Christian....at the time ....so that 'tree' within the family are Mormons). The two sides of my family are decidedly different. One side....well educated, 'there are certain things we don't do' 'everything in moderation', blue-blooded WASPs, and the other side....well educated, fairly loud, hard drinking, middle to upper middle class Irish Catholics. The Mormon married into the blue-blooded WASP side of the family.
IMO, Romney's 'stiltedness' is perceptibly different from John Kerry's 'stiltedness'. John Kerry isn't a Mormon, but he is unfortunately ( IMO) a very distant relative of mine. I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat, and I like poking fun at politicians of any stripe who I think have it coming in one way or another.
This is to post 16 (I guess they hot linked a pic so you could not quote them with the pic), the clintons were also broke when they left the WH.....while having $$$$$$$$ in the bank.....
Romney is a certified Goofy. This is the guy who attends a NASCAR race after being accused of being out of touch and says “oh I love NASCAR...a few of my fiends own teams.”
Then at a speech at a GM plant, he says “I own a couple of Cadillacs.”
If there’s ever been a guy born that’s more maladroit than Romney, I’d be shocked. His goofy quotient is somewhere in the stratosphere.
“My favorite meat is a hot dog, and my next favorite is a hamburger.” LMAO...these efforts to appear as an everyman are laughable.
He needs to shut up and go buy a yacht or something.
Ohhh....I'm sorry...do you need a "cry closet" because you don't like romney....
