Mitt Romney.
I knew practically nothing about the Republican presidential candidate from Massachusetts – aside from the Mormon thing – up ‘til recently.
So I was riveted to the recumbent bike watching him on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning.
As you might expect, he’s extremely conservative on social issues like abortion and gay rights.
It’s very interesting. He doesn’t want women to have the right to choose, but he believes homosexuals choose their ‘sexual preference.’
Yikes.

Question: Who the HELL names their kid Mitt?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romney really needs to work on his messaging around abortion.
He says he doesn’t want to impose his view on the lives of women but he believes abortion is murder.
Heh?
If you believe abortion is murder, aren’t you morally obligated to impose that view on others?

But here’s the money quote from a guy who pretty much has zero chance of winning the presidency:
“I'm a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights. I believe people, under our Constitution, have the right to bear arms. We have a gun in one of our homes.”
Yes. We have a gun in one of our homes.
If he has a fluffer – a PR flack who helps him prep for interviews – her tiny Republican head spun off and went kersplody after that delicious little quote.
One of our homes. Great. Spoken like a true Republican, Mitt.
Now sit the fuck down.

When HedyBlog’s Agent and Manager suggested this fun little feature, I thought it would be a challenge finding good Hillary quotes each week.
Turns out it is way easier than expected.
According to The Caucus blog at the New York Times, this stellar quote won her a standing ovation at Allen University in South Carolina:
“I believe one of the great things about America is, anyone can be president, and what it depends upon is the individual. I’m proud to be a woman.”
First of all, she’s wrong. Not anyone can be president. Up to this point, only white, privileged and (mostly) old men have made it that far.
And she’s proud to be a woman? How about being proud of something you had a little more control over, honey?

"But Mitt? Who else out there is named Mitt? What the heck were George and Lenore Romney thinking when they gave their son the middle name of Mitt? By the way, Mitt’s first name is Willard. According to Wikipedia, the Romneys chose the name Willard in honor of their close friend, hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott. The middle name of Mitt was apparently in honor of Milton Romney, 'a relative who played football for the Chicago Bears.' Mitt was Milton’s nickname."
Romney's unelectable. No offense to the LDS Church, but I don't think Americans--most critically the far right of the GOP--are ready to vote for a Mormon ('bout on the same level as voting for an atheist). Romney's from the wrong part of the country, and he's way too conservative. He'll be done before the first two primaries are over.
you are so damn raw and real I love , love it to death!
