Romney speaks out on Latest Gun Massacre

[cthulu2016]

Word Salad.

Mitt Romney told reporters Monday after a third consecutive shooting made headlines that something must be done to curb the violence. But whatever that is, he said, it shouldn’t include gun-control measures.

Romney held a brief press conference in Florida Monday afternoon, as details of a mass shooting in College Park, Texas, were coming to light.

“This tragedy raises once again the question of what can be done to help prevent events like this from occurring. I guess I’m not referring to any particular legislation. I’m just saying this is something that needs to make thoughtful consideration. They already had three of these tragedies in a row. I happen to believe this is not a matter of the weapon that is used. It’s a matter of the individuals, and the choices these people make, and we have to understand how to prevent those kinds of choices from being made.”

[Whisp]

1. 'they' 'these people'

uh huh

[cthulu2016]

2. Yes! By "they" he means either Americans or humans

There is no other way to parse it.

"They already had three of these tragedies in a row."

Whoever "they" is, it is not a group Mitt considers himself a member of.

[Whisp]

3. or a different species than he is

if anyone else said that, it would be clear what they meant, but this is precious special Romney

[lapfog_1]

8. uh... regular people... the masses.

They is not "we" but them...and it's clear that Rmoney thinks that "them" are the little people, those that don't live in gated enclaves, don't make 1 million a year or more (much more), and must suffer going to the movies or to Sikh temples (not mormon temples) or who are given the job to serve eviction notices to the very wing nuts that Rmoney/Ryan and the Glenn Becks of the world whip into such hatred that they react to life's problems by shooting "them".

4. "..we have to understand how to prevent those kinds of choices from being made.”

Ah, the modern psychology of tyranny.

[orwell]

6. I assume he means the ThoughtCrime Bureau...

...maybe he can sign up Tom Cruise.

I hear he has some time on his hands...

[longship]

7. Maybe Mitt has a couch for Cruise to jump on.

Or, just press the down button on Tom's elevator shoes.

"Tom!! How did you get so short? Have you always been that way? Or, did Xenu curse you for all your failed marriages? Just asking."

5. 50 Shades of Romney.

Your facts straight, TPM. It's College Station, Texas.
