Huh? Intrade has Romeny at 32.7% Tx4obama Sep 2012 #8

Not making this shit up. From the same article:



Both Romneys prefer iPhones to Blackberries, and Mrs. Romney find it hard to keep up with the Kardashians.

"Sir, you need to connect more with people. I've got an idea, use pop culture! Like what they like!"

"I don't know any pop culture. Is that like Pat Boone?"

"Boone hasn't made a record in years, sir. Let me ask the office staff what their kids watch."

......

"Sir, their kids watch somebody called Snooki and somebody called Kardashian. No, I don't know anything about them, either, just drop the names! That'll do it!"

--------------

He doesn't hate Snooki. He barely knows it's a female and doesn't know anything else about it.

I''ll bet you can find something about the election outcome there.

But better be careful. In this casino, the house places its own bets and tries to fix the outcome accordingly. Wall Street should come under the rules of the Nevada State Gaming Commission, which would shut them down.

So that's where he gets all his info.. I suspected as much.
If Romney went back to square one he would still not make any sense.

for another 4 yrs. That would be 8 yrs they have voted against the people and I just don't think even repugs will say that's ok. Somebody just might file charges of treason or something and that could get ugly.

before that he only wants 1 term; who would say that, unless you've got your eye on some big money that you know you could steal and no one would say anything, like the 3 trillion that the Pentagon "lost" during the Bush administration. Rmoney has already said he will give the Pentagon another 3 trillion even tho they said they don't need it. Then he'll send 8 billion in cash on pallets to some foreign country and that will be "pilfered" just like during the Bush adm in Iraq. Rmoney is desperate to be President and I think this is why - money means everything to him. He doesn't give a shit about this country or the people in it.

even 5 seconds beyond that which is absolutely necessary.

In this case viewers should not torment themselves by watching the first 13 seconds of this smarmy ass.
