That jerk Mitt Romney

[CatWoman]

[swag]

1. His face is easily the most freakish one pictured. n/t

[DS1]

2. Kerry is darker than MJ

But I could have told you that Romney's a motherfucking cocksucking twatfaced son of a whore any old day.

[WillyBrandt]

3. How did the great people of MA get that stupid asshole as Gov?

What a contract between their Senators and their governor

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. The Dems ran a weak candidate

our own Governor Goodhair (eat your heart out, Rick Perry) is a real asshole.

[WillyBrandt]

7. When the hell can we get Romney out of power?

William Weld I could understand. He seemed like a decent guy. Romney though is just a sack of shit.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. He wants to be President someday

so watch for him in 2008.

He really has no power. The Dems run the state. Tom Finneran is the most powerful man in MAss.

[WillyBrandt]

19. Not a Finneran fan either :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. Me neither-but he keeps Romney in his place

:-)

[Monte Carlo]

6. A completely inept Dem nominee, that's how.

Shannon O'Brien, the stste treasurer, couldn't have sounded more shrill, narrow-minded, repetitive, or arrogant in the campaign.

[WillyBrandt]

8. Ahhh

[jfxgillis]

11. There are three parties in Mass.

1. Machine Democrats

2. Reform Democrats

3. Republicans.

The Machine has been unable to win the Governor's race for over 20 years. Sometimes they successfully nominate a Machine Dem (Shannon O'Brien, John Silber)) but lose. Swing voters won't give the Machine both the legislature and the state house. Sometimes a Reform Dem captures the nomination (Scott Harshburger) and the Machine backstabs their own nominee. Sometimes the Reform Dem wins both the nomination and the election (Dukakis).

Usually, the GOP takes advantage of the Machine/Reform split to take the State House (Sargent, going way back, Weld, Celluci,and Romney).

Kerry, FYI, is a Reform Democrat--screwed by the machine going all the way back to his '72 race for Congress. He fought off heavily-favored Machine candidates for Lt. Governor and US Senate.

HOWEVER, don't the Republicans get any bright ideas about the Machine and Bush. If Kerry wins, every Democrat moves a step up the ladder, as many of the jokes today indicated. Maybe a few of the State Reps will vote for Bush in their secret ballot, but Congressman Lynch is a huge Kerry guy, and Lynch beat the Machine too, in SOUTH BOSTON no less.

[ButterflyBlood]

27. Lynch is borderline-DINO

I have no doubt he'll vote for Kerry, but I'd much rather have a Machine Democrat if the Machine Democrat is an actual liberal.

[jfxgillis]

14. Addendum

Now that I think of it, it's more like 30 years since the Machine was strong enough to win the state house.

Ed King? Mid-70s? last one I can think of. After that Dukakis, then the current string of Republicans.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

17. Weld was more liberal than Silber-he is the only Repuke I ever voted for

[angryinoville]

22. I was going to ask the same question...

Mitt Romulan is a fucking Mormon from Utah for crissake! I want nothing but Irish Americans from Southy as our gov., sen., or rep's.

[patdem]

4. This shows how desperate the republicans are..so they both have faces??

and his point is???

[Momgonepostal]

10. Yeah, really

Is there some Jackson - Kerry connection I don't know about? If they want to win this election, they'd better come up with some better material than just showing Kerry's picture next to some whack-job.

[jfxgillis]

12. The punchline was--

"Obviously, neither has had cosmetic surgery."

But the later montage of Kerry and Gomer Pyle was meaner ... and funnier!!

[Rockholm]

9. Romney Sucks.

[madrchsod]

13. why in the hell did

the democratic party put the convention in this slugs state? they should be fired for being so stupid. why didn`t they put in chicago? middle america -democratic state with the best new senator canidate in years?no let`s put it in a state controlled by thugs

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. Because he is the only Republican official in a Dem state

our entire Washington Congressional delegation is Democrat, and the state house is 95% Dem. Romney is playing politics trying to move the Convention to a new Convention center, but Mayor Menino and Tom Finneran-the most powerful politician in Mass-basically told him to f*ck off.

[rasputin1952]

16. Romney is a fool...

but I expect they will continue this tripe for a while. Since they can't go ob bush's record, they need something. I'd sure like to find out Romney had some surgery to ensure his 'manhood' would properly, then again microsurgery is pretty expensive.

:evilgrin:

[Fleshdancer]

21. this is how imature little kids tease each other on the playground

And I thought having W as a Governor was embarrassing.

[Sandpiper]

23. Mitt has dreams of being POTUS

But that's all they'll ever be. The guy's a Mormon, and protestant fundies consider Mormonism to be a satanic cult.

[DrFunkenstein]

24. It's A Long-Standing Tradition Of Taking The Piss Out Of People

It was done in good fun. Don't think Romney hasn't gotten his own licks over the years, especially with Teddy around.

[qanda]

25. How does this help Bush*?

Except to make people who are independents feel sorry for Kerry and think that the Republicans are just a bunch of school yard bullies. I hope this one backfires on them big time!

[Bombtrack]

26. That guy is if John Tesh died his hair black.

Howard Stern calls Tesh the blonde Frankenstein so I guess that makes Romney the Mormon Frankenstein.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. That's just stupid.

What the hell is the point? I don't even get it.:shrug:
