Mitt Romney's Smirk

[WeedFlow420]

RON PAUL HAS SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES! VOTE FOR HIM 2012

[solomanspaming]

Mormon's are racist against blacks, until 1978 they weren't allowed into their 'priesthood' and they only started allowing them in because the US government threatened to remove their tax exempt status. No Christian would vote for a mormon, the first mormons said that all christians are an abomination.

BTW,

Mormons have inverted pentagrams all over their temples, graven images on top of them, but NO CROSSES. Romney is not electable based solely on his cult religion.

[mandaladouble]

@solomanspaming Glenn Beck is also a Mormon & a follower of the John Birch society...

[whoo689]

There is no comparison to Mitt's douchebaggery.

[brian8793]

What? That is weird right there. Thats a little over critical of ole Mitt.LOL

You guys sure hold Mitt to a high standard. Maybe he should be our President if you guys think that highly of him.

I sure as HECK am voting for the man in 2012:)

[bigbossman999]

@brian8793 you probably wear magic underwear

[brian8793]

Whoa whoa whoa IT'S MAGIC!

Just like Mitt Romney winning in 2012! The Mayans knew there would be a huge change coming to the world.......

[bigbossman999]

yes but the mayans were describing an apocalypse lol...that would certainly fit with a mitt romney president..but since he has ZERO chance of that happening, i think well be safe :). If mitt was going ot win it wouldve been this year BUT evangelical conservatives in the rep party were not about to vote for a mormon, and moderate rep's didnt want huckabee so mccain was default candidate. More likely than not jeb bush will the nom in 2012

[brian8793]

The Mayans weren't predicting an Apocalypse.LOL

Just a change. A big change. We'll see about my man Mitt......

[EscapeNewJersey]

LOL, three of Romney's sons went to Harvard Business School, one went to medical school, and all are married. All five sons have never been in a bit of trouble and they all love their father. Most parents could only hope to have such excellent sons and Mit Romney's sons!!

[JohnRhysMusician]

Geez. It was just a mistake, plus all his kids will be too old once they finish missions and school to even join the military. Mormon kids are generally inelligible to be in the military because of graduation at age 24+. His kids will be done with school and career training at 28+.

[TempeSoldier123]

Well dumbass they don't HAVE to go to college. They can go directly to join to fight 'the terrorists". I'm sure there are kids over there now that would like to go to college too. He was called on his bull, bottomline.

[JohnRhysMusician]

LDS men do have to go to college. LDS men need to go to learn for their missionaries. You clearly don't know about the faith.

[EscapeNewJersey]

I know many many Mormons that are in the military. There is a very large ROTC program at BYU and they raise the American flag over the University every day. Also, since Mormons are highly educated and most speak a second language, many Mormons join the CIA, NSA, and FBI. Many mormons in the CIA.

[SiY11]

Just as I thought we do not get to see Mitt respond.

[pillsbury09]

Mitt rocks.

Get a life you loser.

[JohnRhysMusician]

MITT ROMNEY PRESIDENT IN 2012!

[thomasstunts]

Sandiegoecho: And for the record, in the event you are under this false impression also, I am not in favor of Romney either (even though he's already out of the race), but it has nothing to do with his religion. You can be anti-Romney all you want, but I believe attacking his religious beliefs is an invalid argument, and very immature to say the least.

[thomasstunts]

So I argue that it would be illogical of you to assume that religion cannot hold logical values. I also argue that it would be illogical of you to assume that the LDS church holds no logic. Once again, if you have never been a part of it then you rightfully cannot say, and since you have chosen "to say" without experience, then I say that your argument is invalid, since the premise is founded on inadequacy.

[thomasstunts]

Sandiegoecho: I will spare you and everyone else reading these comments from the very long message I sent in response, but I will post my conclusion:

[FormerMALiberall]

What a tool!

[MyPasswordIsUserName]

Romney scares me worse then Cheney and Bush

[22belhaven]

McCain would be better to cut a deal with Huckabee; Americans at least like him. Ronmey would drag McCain down, and it would be bad press for the LDS Church. There's a reason why the LDS Church doesn't let anyone did up the Hill Cumorah in upstate NY, and it's not because they want their grass to look pretty.

[22belhaven]

To Billabong96,

You suggested that I "Get used to the smirk. You will be looking at it for the next 8 years of Mitt's presidency."

Hmmmmmm... you see this little problem... have you seen the news today? Romney suspended his campaign. Yes, looks like he LOST. I guess I will think of his smirk, but not as President Romney, but failed, lying, religious fundamentalist, cult member, gullible Romney... with a smirk of course.

[rabidfox1]

I don't believe that guy was really offended. I see it as a ploy to make Romney look bad. He apologized, though he didn't need to, what is the point in bringing it up? How arrogant can you be to think that military service is so much superior to any other service, that it is "offensive" to compare anything with it? This is one of those boo-hoo liberal "I'm offended!" bits.

Romney is running because he thinks he can be a good president. That makes his sons efforts a good service in his opinion.

[michaelargent]

Mitt is a windsock. He blows with the winds of opinion. Ron Paul is steady and straight. I may not agree with everything he says, but at least he is honest and consistent.

[seagirlkat]

I think that was more of a nervous grimace than a smirk. What was the original comment that Romney made?

[joe53097]

Why do people believe that the only way to serve your country is to fight wars?

[wheatshill]

President Kennedy said "It's not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." This isn't limited to the military. I don't believe in shrinking the value of my own efforts to give credit to an organization that is purely volunteer and exclusive to itself.

[wheatshill]

Mitt Romney did nothing wrong. Why isn't it enough for the father to be proud of his children and not get onto Mitt Romney for acknowledging what his sons are doing. He wasn't comparing his sons, we was just acknowledging their efforts. The man's sons "chose" their efforts, just as Mitt's sons choose theirs. I'm not in the military but I that doesn't mean that I believe that anyone in the service is doing more "service" to their country based on that idea alone.

[TheReporterOfTruth]

Mitt states that he reads the Gideon Bible when staying in hotels trying to identify with the average Christian. To Mormons, this simple statement means he reads this ONLY when traveling, and ONLY when not having a copy of the Book of Mormon. This is called good public relations.

[TheReporterOfTruth]

Mitt attempts to straddle the Christian/Mormon divide with word games to appease all parties. Warren Jeffs played this game, too. Jeffs tried to convey multiple messages to different groups by using the same spoken words.

Buyer beware...Mitt is not what he appears to be.

[thebklounge89]

GO MITT ROMNEY!

[garpswelt]

Romney's great for smirking...but isn't that an endearment to Republicans? They shit all over themselves when Chimpy McFlightsuit smirks. You have to understand, the kind of person that would vote for Romney or Bush in the first place has no sense of right and wrong, just their view of how things should be run...all the better if the country's run by a smirking jackass like Romney!

[holidayschool]

I'm no fan of the human action man that is Mitt Romney, or any Republicans/Conservatives really, but I honestly thinking he is smirking here beacause he is just really embaressed to to have made such a ridicolous and innane comparison and now it's come back to bite him.

[VicFetters]

I agree. It's a smirk of embarrassment. i don't like mitt, but thats what i believe it is.

I personally believe that whether you're in one of our armed forces, or a freaking McDonalds employee, we all pitch into the system. Some pitch in with their abilities of body and spirit, others with hard earned dollars. It's all equal. I back our troops, but I also back the little guy who's working his tail off for peanuts an hours and pays taxes. It's all the same.

[moparmuscle1970]

Mitt Romney CAUGHT in a BOLD FACE LIE! Watch it on YouTube - Mitt Romney: From Flip-Flop To See-Saw

Proof that Romney IS a LIAR!

[moparmuscle1970]

Mitt Romney is trying to buy his way into office! Can't your retards see that? He is a liar and that means he is corrupt! Don't vote for another asshole that doesn't give a damn about the common American!!

Oh yeah, Romney is also a draft dodger, and none of his rich spoiled sons of legal military age are serving in Iraq.

[haldenver]

If i was Romney's campaign manager i would get some of those polite rich boys signed up at the sharp end ASAP. Joe Kennedy did it ; Mitt should do the same. Let them campaign in Helmand Province,Afghanistan......then we would know how badly Mitt wants it!!

Semper fi !!

[MKB2814]

Willard wants to expand the military, but the military is 5 Romneys short.

[22belhaven]

Thank you for your insightful comment. You must have aced the SATs. Unfortunately, the LDS church obscures many of its true beliefs. I asked a Mormon if they believed in more than ONE God. Answer: There is "one God in THIS universe." That wasn't the intent of the question. Rephrase: Do you believe in more than one God in THIS or ANY universe. Answer "YES." Does it matter? I don't care about their faith, I care they're deceptive. But I bet the Evangelicals care!

ExposeRomney . com

[ansonlee12]

theres more than one universe? O.o

[22belhaven]

If we do, can you imagine just how much BAD publicity the LDS church will get. Everyone will research it and find the truth. Remember, no one knew how crazy the Scientologists were until Tom Cruise put them in the spotlight. If you're LDS, you better hope and pray he doesn't get elected, because then the kid gloves come off.

ExposeRomney . com

[sandiegoecho]

22belhaven - As though the LDS cares about BAD publicity. All cults are fueled by abhorrent behavior or beliefs It defines them and makes the membership feel special. The LDS is no different.

[thomasstunts]

To "sandiegoecho": I hope you realize that you are making a logical error, in that you label the LDS church as a cult. Yet I must ask, have you ever been a Mormon? Unless you have, I don't think you have the credentials to speak on their behalf. It's much like saying "I hate plumbing" if you've never plumbed anything before. Unless you've fully experienced it for yourself (objectively), you can never know.

"The only thing to fear is a closed mind."

I challenge you to open yours.

[sandiegoecho]

The term "cult" is useful only to those not belonging to the group so defined. If I were Mormon I would certainly not consider my religion a cult. As an observer of the Mormon faith, a religion born of a man in modern times and ostracized to the barren West for it's unique and socially unacceptable practices, cult fits quite nicely for me. Today LDS teaches a unique set of acceptable norms, chastises those who fall away, and rewards those who follow. What is left to argue?

[sandiegoecho]

What would be illogical would be for me to argue, with logic, a religion that contains none nor should be expected to. It's a religion, not mathematics.

Be proud of your cult instead of making excuses for it. If you were not unique the leadership would have no power, the followers would not feel special, and quite frankly, you might get confusedly labeled as Christian. Then where would you be?

[JNS4444]

Nice Smirk. His Sons will never go to Iraq, Afghanistan or ever serve - well maybe a soft serve ice cream at the movies? Serving him getting elected, who is his writer??

[rynigma8]

well im mit romeny the smart ass

[elperropatron]

Seems like America loves smirking douchebags. They elected Bush twice.

[Sherlyjames]

Romney doesn't care if people are offended with his comments -- he is RICH, RICH, RICH and he has RICH, RICH, RICH friends who are as dirty as he is.

[elperropatron]

A scumbag running for scumbags

[Wiinerd37]

DUUUNCE!!!

[glory789]

Romney is an ass

[supernovia1st]

The smile was inappropriate, I'll agree. Now get ready to hate me:

No parent regardless of political climate or persuasion should force their child into service. America shouldn't force anyone either. Those who choose to serve in the military defend our freedom to choose for ourselves.

All of us can find ways to serve our country. A thousand citizens serving America in other ways won't make right a single life lost in the war, but if we let that stop us, we let down our troops.

[supernovia1st]

ran out of text, sorry. If we don't help our country despite how small our part might be, we don't just let down our troops, we let down our country, we let down each other, we let down ourselves.

You love America, now show it :)

[MKB2814]

"You love America, now show it :)"

People should definitely start by making sure this arrogant, opportunistic, weasely piece of turd doesn't get elected.

Campaigning for this pandering, smirking robot is no sacrifice to the country.

[Sherlyjames]

Romney family has NEVER served-- even in WWII.

His statement was his boys are serving him-- your forgetting that issue. If Romney supports a war, his family should be willing to serve, not to send less 'rich' into war. Romney also said his sons do not need the benfits. And this nation does not need Mr. Romney.

[bigringabuser]

Romney is a complete asshat, and I am sure he gets owned like this all day everyday. He thinks he can buy the presidency, which he could if he had Michael Bloomberg's wealth, but he doesn't, so expect him to down in flames quick.

[cozmotrouble]

Romney: Die in a fire.

[anglebender]

Oh, he never gonna be the president now. Might as well jump off a cliff, now.

[moreaudan]

Mitt Romney you are a repugnant douche-bag. To suggest that your son's

efforts are in any way comparaable to those of the military personnel is a slap

in the face to those men. women and their families. Mitt you make me hurl

(oh wait that could be the McDonalds...nope, it's you).

[mpetrie]

Too bad you don't know the people who know Romney personally. You might just realize how amazing Romney really is.

[airborne373]

Mitt is a paid extorter. Do not trust this guy with your lunch.

[LightBliss]

Watch a video by lightbliss called "Unshackle your Mind" part 1 and 2(we must not be mind slayed by politics)

[jj35744]

He can't win. True Christians won't vote for someone that believes in the false prohphet Joseph Smith.

[hannitysux]

Pretty boy Mitt should be ashamed of himself.

[atlg8or6137]

An elitest Republican??? What a shock!

[GMRoj]

Don't be fooled by the spin some people are posting on here and elsewhere regarding Romney's campaign or his policies. He has paid staff to respond to negative remarks on blogs and other media outlets.

Follow the patterns here and elsewhere

[Proneural]

Mitt Romney is a greaseball.

[pjt03]

His voice sounds like a weasel.

[a0123456789z]

I am not a fan of Mitt, but he responded appropriately. He did not get defensive.

[supernovia1st]

I have to say the smile strikes many as defensive or snarky, whether or not he intended it.

[twopotatoesonecarrot]

Mitt thinks it's funny. God, why do we set this type of ASSHOLES up for canidates to LEAD OUR COUNTRY? I don't want to believe it's solely because they are rich, but obviously it's the case.

[metroid101]

even though I hate romney, and his sons. why do people feel the need to place their military sons and daughters on a pedestal?since when do we have to kiss military ass?im so god damn sick of people telling eachother to kiss the military's ass

[hayleyandben2007]

I'm wondering how his campaign will spin this. Another flip flop? This guy is a little too slick. Probably best if he tries to ignore this issue. I don't believe he can fix this. How can you fix disrespecting our troops?

[allileoop]

Thats the "oh shit just keep smiling and stay calm" fake smile all polticians are versed in.

[holdingcompany]

mitt is not a name. it is a piece of athletic equiptment.

[qwerty4197]

he's a nit

[twistedscissor]

Don't forget people. Mitt is Mormon. Mormon means to enter the gates of hell in China. Mormo means to follow evil. I was raised in the mormon acult. I believe it is a government agency that heards their poeple from secret society. Or not. lol

[twistedscissor]

The Mitt has hit the fan!!!

[SeattleGuy1968]

There is a time not to smile - this missed opportunity was one of them.

[Camelot15mill]

what a smug chickenhawk cunt!

[utubesucks2003]

That's a shit eating smirk if I ever saw one !

[davidedwardclark]

Rudy McSmirkingRomney

[garybetz]

Typical Republican chicken-hawk stance. They want to send us and our children to fight a war, but won't fight in one themselves or send their children to fight one.

[garybetz]

Typical chicken-hawk Republican (e.g. George W. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Johnny Isakson, Romney, etc) that wants to send our children to fight a war, but wouldn't never fight in one themselves nor send their own children to fight in one.

[DonFamoso]

Substantial numbers of high-ranking FBI officials quit in the wake of 9/11<----WHY DID THESE FBI AGENTS QUIT AND WHO ARE THEY INVESTIGATE THEM! THEY ARE ALL LINKED TO THIS MESS! THIS IS REAL FACTS LOOK IT UP! WHY HAVE NO NEW REPORTERS INTERVIEWED THESE AGENTS?

[particle409]

DonFamoso,

They quit because they were pressured to, to hide incompetence, not conspiracy.

You're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

[DonFamoso]

Okay that true particle but im not trying to say that they are part of a conspiracy. Im just curious on what their outlook on things are on reports etc from their individual perspectives.

Thank You for the compliment "Cheers"

[janpauwels]

in you face

[mhirtes12]

Apparently, only the non-elite have to carry a rifle and dodge the IEDS.

Probably just as well that these idiots stay out of the military. They'd be like Major Frank "Ferret Face" Burns from M*A*S*H* if they ever got into uniform.

[ClickMe2c]

Mitt Romney has FIVE SONS and NONE joined the U.S. ARMED SERVICES.

[zomfgbbqlol]

I fully support the Iraq mission. The more Muslims, trash, and browns that can be killed the better. The pussies in America don't understand this however. They would rather have the trash immigrate to America and cause problems here.

[asz420]

Go grab your gun and hop the 1st place to Baghdad jagoff. You're so willing to fight, then go. We need more redneck assholes to get whacked too. You are as much of a drain on America as the war is.

[zomfgbbqlol]

You are a hypocrite. The fact that you want to see Americans get killed shows this. What is the matter? You can't tolerate others' opinions if they are different from your own? That is fascism.

[WSW55]

How many people running for President in 2008 have kids in Iraq? One (Joe Biden, a Democrat). But keep supporting those chicken hawk Republicans folks!

[WPPostalWorker]

Duncan Hunter

[TimLussier]

Duncan Hunter's son is serving.

[airborne373]

Romney is a fraud.

[hailedmactester]

Are you for real mister, With the pressing issues in our country you wine about some comment taken out of context. He obviously didn't mean his sons service is equal to those in the military. This guy did not even look at the camera. It is very openly appearent that Romney supports the men and women seriving to protect America. Find a real concearn then ask a question. This NH man must have personal confidence issues to let that comment shake him.

[cg121299]

Do you have family in Iraq?

Yeah, that is what I thought, let's make it republican easy, "bring it on", or best yet, "go fark yourself" (Cheney). Let me guess though, those statements are also out of context like this entire war... Out of context.

[mikep7777]

Yep, it's just a shame that the guys who were sent to Iraq aren't there "protecting America."

[mendelbot]

He didn't look at the camera because he's not a media whore, he's a father with a genuine investment in the conduct of the war.

[wntoply6]

that's exactly the problem with u out of touch neo cons hail. degrade the guy with a son in the military to build up romney whose 5 sons were "serving the country by getting him elected president".

either u r completely insensitive, ignorant & stupid, or just another liar shifting the blame on the people.

ROMNEY MISSPOKE plain and simple! had he been more a man, he would have admitted it, as u should have. u & he are asses & deserve each other.

[LOUETTA12]

HE WAS JUST LAUGHING AT HIMSELF

[JackKovack]

What the fuck is he smiling for?!
