The Rude Pundit: Mitt Romney Should Creep Us All Out
Everything about Republican Presidential candidate, former governor, former moderate, ersatz savage conservative is seriously creepy. The Rude Pundit is talking about Romney in his current form, Robo-Romney, whose Frankenstein's monster-like hair doesn't move, whose jaw is square, whose soul-cringing answers at debates and interviews ought to induce torch-carrying mobs to corner him in order to purge their village of such inhuman taint.

And when the Rude Pundit says, "Everything," he fuckin' means "everything." The crazy part is how open Romney is about his creepiness, as if it's an asset, which, looking at the increasingly creepy Republican field, it may well be.

Check out his speech about how much he friggin' loveslovesloves his wife, Ann. In the course of it, Romney freely talks about throwing rocks at her and her horse when he was a child, about dating her at 16, about a first date seeing The Sound of Music (which ought to disqualify him not just from being President, but from ever getting laid in his life), about his stalker-like attitude towards her: "I didn't want to be anywhere else but with Ann. I wanted to be with her all the time and couldn't imagine being anywhere else besides being with her." Charming. Then he says how he lied to his parents about flying home from Stanford on weekends to "date" Ann, gleefully saying, "I didn't tell my parents - they're both gone now, and I can make that public." Oh, ho, ho, ho, pulled the wool over those corpses' eyes.

There's his endless love of violence, of killing and punishing, harshly, those he views as enemies. Huh. Savagery and Mormonism seems to go together like, say, savagery and Mormonism. And the Rude Pundit's not just talkin' out of his hat here. At the debate this week in South Carolina, Romney went further even than the mad Rudy Giuliani (still trying to make up for all that time in drag), lovin' him so Gitmo for detainees: "I'm glad they're at Guantanamo. I don't want them on our soil. I want them on Guantanamo, where they don't get the access to lawyers they get when they're on our soil. I don't want them in our prisons. I want them there." In fact, as has been widely reported, Romney said, "Some people have said, we ought to close Guantanamo. My view is, we ought to double Guantanamo." Adding that Gitmo oughta be waterboard-palooza: "And enhanced interrogation techniques have to be used -- not torture but enhanced interrogation techniques, yes."

This is not to mention his view of the Middle East as a bunch of homogeneous Arabs who wanna fuck with American shit: "There is a global jihadist effort. Violent, radical jihadists want to replace all the governments of the moderate Islamic states, replace them with a caliphate. And to do that, they also want to bring down the West, in particular us. And they've come together as Shi'a and Sunni and Hezbollah and Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda with that intent." It's sorta like that old Batman movie, when all the .html?path=gallery&path_key=0060153">villains gathered in a submarine to do their dastardliest. Fuck, let's send Romney over there in tights and a cape to kick some ass. One of his five sons can be the Boy Wonder.

Creepy motherfucker's gonna keep veering rightward and backwards until he heads off the edge of a flat earth.

1. Is he advocating war with Cuba? To double the size of Guantanamo he would have to steal
the land from Cuba.

3. "Creepy" is the most apt word for Romney that I've seen anywhere.

4. How was this man elected Governor of Massachusetts?

Right. Creepy is a very good description.

6. the creepiest part
Edited on Thu May-17-07 11:56 AM by 90-percent
the creepiest part of the republican debate of a few days ago is how warmly the crowd voiced their enthusiasm for Romney's plan to double the size of Gitmo.

When all these people refer to the "terrorists in Guantanamo" don't they realize that maybe 2% of those incarcerated have actual terrorist bona-fides? The size of the prison needed to the house bona-fide terrorists in Gitmo is about as big as my guest bedroom!

When they say "git the terraists" I understand that as "lets round up some rag heads in the wrong place at the wrong time and ruin their lives so we can look tough"

7. That's what I didn't get either. Even SecDef Gates thinks Gitmo oughta be closed.
I'm glad, though. They have officially ceded the moral high ground to the Dems (except for McCain).

8. FBI and CIA recruitment program of Mormons...hey, is Mitt one of 'em ?
Edited on Thu May-17-07 11:57 AM by EVDebs
"The FBI and CIA, drawn by a seemingly incorruptible rectitude, have instituted Mormon-recruitment plans."

If this isn't the creepiest thing to come down the pike since the SMOM bunch over at DOD I don't know what is !

The ultra-rightwing groups, like SMOM

Their Will Be Done
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/1983/07/willbedone.html

and now the Mormons, have a hidden agenda of suppression of individual thought and freedom in general. I shudder to think that SMOMers were present at the creation of the CIA, or rather maybe because of SMOMers (current ?) presence is a cause of the blowback problems the agency is undergoing. Instead of a 'recruitment' program for these robots, maybe our so-called 'intelligence' agencies should be doing a purge instead.

9. More than the other Republi-zombies they're offering up?
I looked at that line-up of pasty white corporate syncophants and wondered to myself, "Have I been time warped back to the 1950's?"

I mean, what better way to say, "I don't give a shit about anybody but rich white folks" than parading out a bunch of stuffed shirts with air brushed 'tans' and 'Murkin flag lapel pins?

How can any woman or person of color or actual working person trust anything that anyone from that party says or does?

14. What do you want to bet that the Mittster thought--this will be my
campaign photo when I run for president--while he looked at the flame? He's all naked ambition. That's why I hate him. In it for self-glory.
