the most important election of your lifetime: 2012 american general election thread

"I have paid taxes every year" a classic non-admission admission.

Yeah, sales tax on his cars, property taxes on his homes ...

Loosely affiliated with the non-denial denial.

Obama's fundraising birthday party today is sure to get some riled up

Do you need to show your birth certificate to get in? Because if so ...

Damn, I forgot I had 37 e-mail invitations to that. What time's it start?

politico ebook tries to get into obama's head

shorter: he's a jock, respected mccain, hates romney

his head is the least interesting place on Earth

open goal

this is almost too novelistic to be true

clinton played hearts
obama prefers spades

i mean

what the

what the +1

who else sees fundraising emails from the DCCC (they go straight to my Junk folder) from one "Robby Mook"? Great name/alias for someone parting you from your money on the D team.

why are you reading your junk folder, doesn't that defeat the purpose

prob the same reason I read NRO comments

sometimes good stuff goes to Junk; email doesn't work as perfectly as precise drone strikes yet.

Why would I READ them? They all say "omg the Repugs are taking money from billionaires." My stars!

What's a Robby Mook?

"exec director" of the Dem Congressional Campaign Com'tee

looks like Alex P. Keaton

former Hillary '08 flack

Okay--I thought it was a 400-pound Irish guy who ran a pool hall.

I think he also played the "MacGruber" character on SNL.

Try to catch this little clip CNN showed of Romney grocery shopping today. The camera catches him just as he's about to walk into the store; he stops, takes a look at the shopping carts, starts to go in again, doubles back and grabs a cart. You can almost see the thought bubble: "What would a regular voter do in this situation?"

http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/50201ac669beddfb71000010/mitt-romney-grocery-shopping.jpg

did he buy the grocery store and fire all the employees

campaigning must be a really bizarre life

acc to nymag he was asked, after coming out of a hardware store, what he bought, and he said: "hardware stuff."

but i don't have corroboration on that.

when they ask him "paper or plastic", his calculations go into overdrive and his eyeballs start spinning backward

I'M NORMAL!

I'M NORMAL!

I AM NOT MADE OUT OF PLASTIC WHO TOLD YOU THAT

lol!!

When one reporter asked Romney if his house guests were named Rob Portman or Tim Pawlenty — the two most-buzzed-about potential vice presidential candidates — he just laughed.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha,” Romney said.

"0100100001100001001000000110001101101111011011010110110101100001001000000110100001100001001000000110001101101111011011010110110101100001001000000110100001100001001000000110001101101111011011010110110101100001001000000110100001100001"

for(int i = 0; i != 4; ++i) { cout << "ha, "; }

How come he's shopping himself isn't he rich why does he hate success and shrinking from AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM?

for(int i = 0; i != 4; ++i) { cout << "ha, "; }

Here's video of what I was trying to describe earlier:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/06/cnns-gut-check-for-august-6-2012/

he bought pepsi AND coke products.

this guy's good. REAL good. he's got the instinct. you can't buy pepsi without pissing off coke >> unless you ALSO buy coke. this guy's a fighter

but wtf, he didn't buy Dr. Pepper? to hell with Mitt Romney, he favors coke and pepsi!
