How to shut down a Republican argument

[Aerows]

Remind them that Mitt Romney is their candidate. I've yet to meet a Republican that doesn't flinch in horror for a second

1. Hehehe. The chance of multiple wives thing may just encourage the men. Ask the women...

[Aerows]

2. When I mention it here

In the South, they all just groan. Mitt Romney produces a reaction like finding dog poop on your shoe. LOL

[Angry Dragon]

4. LOL

[Aerows]

6. I'm not kidding

It's a never ending source of delight for me that Mitt Romney is a Republican diatribe ending phrase. I don't have to do anything anymore but say "Mitt Romney" and Republicans close their mouths and flee for the hills.

9. Kinda like this?...

[Aerows]

11. More like

Teapublican roach spray. Just say his name.

[freshwest]

23. Yet the Gallup poll just showed Romney's appeal to registered voters very close to Obama's.

Both at about half. That's disturbing, that with all that's come out people still find him better than Obama. FNN has done a great job.

3. I use that on my tea party brother all the time

works every time.

[Aerows]

5. It's hilarious to see their reaction

You'd think they were a cat stepping into water to be reminded that Mitt Romney is their candidate.

7. He can speak French... in French.

When in Rome... oh wait - he's never been to Rome.

Paint watches him dry.

At funerals people think he's the one they're there to mourn.

His strategy in Monopoly is to sell his opponent out.

At cocktail parties - he wears blue tie.

He is... Mitt Romney - the least interesting man in the world.

"I don't always drink beer but when I do... oh wait - I don't drink beer."

Stay boring my friends.

[Aerows]

10. He's not boring in the South

He's repulsive to Republicans.

He's like roach spray for tea types. I LOVE it. Say his name and they scurry off into the wood work.

[Initech]

12. That's because he likes cheesy grits and says "y'all".

Of course is that before or after he asked the judge to identify the two utes?

[Aerows]

13. He liked catfish the two times he ate it

And the cheesy grits went well with it. (deadpan)

I swear, we are going to have to start calling him Mitt RoachSpray, because he sends republicans in the South fleeing.

[Aerows]

8. Mind you, you have to listen to them for a second

But then you slip it into the conversation and they get this pretty little green shade to their faces

[Populist_Prole]

14. Really though, they'll all be in his thrall come November

Heard the same thing with cons bitching about McCain and Bush V 2.0, Act II. They have a visceral hatred of "libruls" and Democrats in general enough as it is. The fact that Barack Obama is black has made them go even further off the deep end. No way in hell is the far right going to stay home just because RMoney is not enough of a nutjob for their tastes.

Even so, they're gonna lose November because the right wing is too deep instead of wide and sensible people are and will be turned off by the GOP's meme.

[Aerows]

15. This is different

McCain was disliked for his moderation. Romney + Southern Baptists is an entirely different story. My staunch conservative family members have all said they will write someone in before voting for him.

[Populist_Prole]

24. I hope so

One bit of encouragement I got was from a right leaning co-worker who said he won't vote for Romney solely because he is a mormon. Superficial reason, but at least that's one Republican who will stay home on a certain tuesday.

[deaniac21]

16. Sure makes you more comfortable

about our candidate.

[Aerows]

17. It certainly does

I'm not exactly an Obama cheerleader, and I've been known to criticize certain things that he has done, but Robotney?

If not Mitt, then who? Obama, that's who.

[Flatpicker]

18. ok

I always thought the way to shut down a republican argument, is to use the phrase "prove it."

Even Romney flinches at the thought of a Romney presidency. Or would if he was programmed for human like emotions.

[Aerows]

19. Welcome to DU

And I tend to think that Romney flinches at a Romney presidency, too.

[Initech]

22. LMAO - that one works too!

[rustydog]

20. Or tell them: The VERY BEST your party could choose from is:

Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Man on Dog Santorum, Dog on Roof Romney and Donald "you're fired" Trump and Newt Wife cheater Gingrich!!!!!

Really? This is the very best, the CREAM of the Republican Crop? There is NO ONE ELSE in all of America qualified to beat Obama??? Really? Romney?

[bluestate10]

21. Looks up the search string "The book on Mitt Romney".

The information is a litany of Romney's role in bringing about 83 tax increases during his term, every single one hurt the middle class.
