Willard better watch it. If he pisses off the Brits bad enough they might do his dancing horse dirty. Dressage judging is rather subjective.

Addendum: Now we are getting some hot mormon-on-mormon action - Harry Reid has called out rMoney as embarrassing to the U.S.

I think it's now a probability that the horse won't do too well. Romney looked so stiff when trying to crawl out of the hole he dug for himself.

The Brits are now calling rMoney names like "tosser" and "wanker".

Sounds dirty.

I predict that when Willard gets to Poland he will attempt to break the ice by telling a “Polack” joke. Between bashing fags and abusing dogs back in high school Willard and his gang liked nothing more than a good Polish joke - except jokes about Jews, black folk, the poor and the handicapped.

Maybe the Poles will get into the spirit of jocularity and tell Willard a few mormon jokes, e.g. -

Q. What do you call a mormon with only one wife?

A. Non-devout

Q. What do you call a mormon with only three children?

A. Non-devout

Q. Who would be the only person in the room insane enough to mix up Missouri with Palestine?

A. a mormon

Q. Who would be the only person in the room insane enough to mix up American Indians wth Jews?

A. a mormon

A black mormon, an asian high school dropout, and a liberal republican all walk into a bar, …..

Word crap salad, with a vinegar and piss dressing, dredged up from the depths of rMoney's reptilian brain for our amusement and/or horror:

Obama is apparently unique in the history of the human race. NOTHING he has ever done is good or the least bit right - ALL that he has ever done is WRONG and BAD. Ipso Facto. By definition. Beyond all doubt. An article of faith and creed. No passing GO or collecting $200.

I don’t even think god’s official appointed Adversary - Satan - can match Obama’s record. E.g., wasn’t Satan originally the Angel of Light? I.e., shouldn’t we assume he had a FEW good years?

I haven't heard him called tosser or wanker, though tosser in particular seems to fit. Strange i could not say why it is the better fit. Wazzock as used by the Telegraph journalist also fits. Many were not so much so much offended as bemused or even amused at his incompetence. Others are dissmissive they cant take him seriously. He just seems so out of his depth floundering helplessly. w
Watching him call the leader of the opposition Mr Leader as if Ed Miliband were in charge of some comedy banana republic and then wittering on about other leaders around the world. brought amused gasps from a good twenty people of watching it in the restaurant at work yesterday. We always find it amusing to watch incompetence in high office and I suspect that there are some who are hoping to find America amusing for a while yet.

but for the moment we are to busy hoping the Olympics will reveal incompetence among our own politicans to worry to much about Mr Romney,

New word learned today: Paleomittic

Paleomittic, adjective: uttering a non sequitur SO inane, surreal, disconnected from reality and/or cognitively dissonant that one could easily imagine either Willard rMoney or Sarah Palin saying the same thing in the course of a televised interview.

- Another masterful flip-flop by the perfectly lubricated weather vane that is Willard "King of the republican rats" rMoney:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/29/mitt-romney-reporters-israel-fundraiser...

rMoney will back down from any position to the opposite position with just the appearance of a push-back.

……………

Who or what does this remind me of?

……………

Oh, yeah.

France. And the French.

rMoney spend three years in France - during his formative years.

rMoney speaks fluent French.

Fox News has a poll about how Romney's visit to the U.K. is going. As one might expect, the respondents are a little out of touch with reality.

The point of view from this side of the pond is that he is definitely a tosser. The Israelis will like him, though. He is planning a speech about how he supports going after Iran, in support of Israel. Of course he won't be sending his own children to do the fighting.

07> Obama is and was an empty suit, from day 1. He is a liar and an opportunist. Send his daughters to Iraq for a year, then he might get real. Until then, he is one of the worst scumbags in government. No, McCain would not have been any better, but that is the USA's problem. They just can't seem to recognize a leader in their midst.

Read your history. If it wasn't for the French, you would be taking tea at four every day. Humility is an asset. Arrogance is a deficit.

Convince me that rMoney is the lesser of evils and I will vote for him.

One of these two are going to be elected - or reelected - this Nov. 6. Which do you think is the worst - and why?

If you have no preference, then fine. Those who don't vote or vote third party have rights too. I guess.

Well, this is nice:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/31/romney-aide-rick-gorka-reporters_n_1722...

Someone correct me if I am wrong here, but doesn't this sentence contain an internal inconsistency? -

"Kiss my ass, this is a holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect."

Isn't this the equivalent, e.g., of someone saying to a crowd "Bite me, you bastards. Insulting language is off base here. Cut it out."

Or perhaps this is an Inspector Clouseau-seeming ploy Willard learned while in France - have an underling say something outrageous and thus get the press focusing on that rather than on the candidate's own outrageous and inane daily utterings.

Naw. I think this is a sign that rMoney's staff is beginning to lose it too. Trying to sell shit wrapped in a shiny box to the public and convince them it's good for them - that has to be a depressing full time job.

But at least they have a job - no thanks to Obama.

LOL.

15> As George Carlin used to say, "I'll stay home and masturbate, just like you (voters), but at least when it's over, I'll have something to show for it."

Studying history in the USA allowed me to understand many aspects of voting, one of which is the 'write-in vote.' If you do not like the choices, write in the name of the person you wish to be elected.

As for Romney, I know his kind from my work experience in the USA. He's a liar and an opportunist, so if he gets elected, nothing will change. There is no 'lesser of evils' in this game, because they are cut from the same cloth. Vote for one, you will still get the other.

By the way, I noticed that Obama is not running on the Hope & Change platform this time around. I guess even he has a sense that the public now knows that that was a pile of excrement. If GWB's tenure was laid out as footsteps in the snow, you wouldn't see any other path in the snow after OB's tenure. Just the one.

1. He said it. Plain and simple, no way to misunderstand him.

2. Then he said he never said it. It is just the media playing "gotcha". Plus the sun was in his eyes. And he had his fingers crossed during the original speech. Plus it has just been a game and he had forgotten to say "Simon Says". Plus, this so-called “controversy” is just taking our attention away from important issues. Insulting for no good reason tens of millions of people in Palestine or England is no big deal. It’s just innocent fun - and Presidential. It's like, two mints in one.

- I'm putting this down as another flip-flop.

That makes 1,356,219.

As a child I liked Kool-Aid. Not the metaphor - the real stuff. Cherry or grape - and even orange just for a change of pace.

But "drinking the Kool-Aid" is a bad thing now. So sad.

In any case, the only kind of Kool-Aid I will effing never drink is the one that goes "it doesn't matter who wins the Presidency or other high elected office, they are all 'cut from the same cloth', i.e., similarly evil, incompetent or part of the on-going conspiracy, etc.'"

Luckily no single vote - or lack of a vote - will make the difference - so if you wish to stay home on election day and masturbate instead - well, who would say nay to your right to "pull the level" YOUR way?

And best wishes.

Of course not. What sense would it make to run on Change when you've had the top job for the last four years.

22> "Would you care to enlighten us on how electing Willard rMoney as POTUS will make things all better - specifically? He is the only option to Obama, you realize that, correct?"

I don't believe for a minute that he will make things better. Neither will leaving Obama there to do more destruction. As for those two being the only options, then you didn't read my previous note about a 'write-in vote.' If you only believe you have two options, then you are doing just what they want you to do. Romney was only being offered up to make Obama look good. You, and everyone who thinks as you think, will vote for Obama, as the 'lesser of evils.' Do you really believe that those in real power didn't anticipate this mindset?

Ah, but I know what you'll say next: "I am just one person and if I give my vote up to a third party it will ensure that the wrong one gets in." How do you know, unless you try?

You have three months to mobilize and greater things have been accomplished in less time. It's your future and the true choices you have are: vote for one of these two, or try to make a difference by doing something different.

If you truly believe that the Tea Party is your biggest obstacle to change, then the USA is in deeper excrement than I can even imagine.

And I am deeply saddened by those who do nothing but watch, and do little to improve their condition.

If the best Obama can do is be the anti-Romney that's not quite enough for me.

The reality of his four years now is he's not represented change nor has he played a part in repealing or turning back most of what Cheney/Bush did in the previous 8 years. Sometimes he's enhanced their work. It's almost like Tony Blair working off of the world Margaret Thatcher and John Major created for him. And fuck that-- because if Tony Blair was ever worth a shit he would have destroyed as much of that world that Thatcher and Major created that he could have. I'm not satisfied with Obama or the Dems or with the if we don't vote for this guy--blah, blah, blah will win and we'll be even worse off. And we probably will be worse off but unless and until the Democrats start fighting again for real people--not just wealthy people or multi-nationals that can give them huge donations--buy them off--they're not worth supporting. They'll be part of the problem. Lots of times I agree with JLG but he is partisan and he thinks sarcasm is enough to win the game that debate has turned into.

I think the last straw for me was the Wisconsin recall--all these union members and their supporters--out on cold, snowy and windy nights--being chased around and about by Walker supporters in their 4 wheel drive vehicles trying to run them over--fighting through all that bullshit and intimidation to get the numbers they need and Barack couldn't even be bothered to make a visit to Wisconsin to show his support--to lift a finger. What this looks like to me is betrayal.
