LOL, WHAT A HOOT!....Every mitt thread is decorated with smitten female mittbots raving about his wonderful HAIR, his GOOD LOOKS, his SMILE....I guess you could call it "fanGIRLism" in that case.
Hold the phone! Mitt has great hair and he’s good looking but that’s sure as heck not why I support him!! That was an insulting thing to say.
Mitt Romney has a great family, a great record, he is Reaganesque, and he is a man of character and conviction. He saved the Olympics from scandal and doom. He has a stellar record in the private sector as a savvy businessman. His record as gov is sound and pro-life.
What’s not to love, I wonder.
There might be some fanboyism in Mitt’s good looks, too.
(don’t look now, but I think I might have aroused the ire of the homophobes)
Decorated, yes. Smothered, no.
Now, granted, Thompson supporters have become eerily quiet in the last few days. Losing does that to a person. But for months, every single Romney thread got immediately hijacked with claims that Thompson was the only true conservative, and with various repetitious attacks on Romney, and Thompson threads were largely self-congratulatory echo chambers. Nothing new, nothing thoughtful. It was cool to be pro-Thompson on FR, so why should they be intellectual? In the meantime, Romney supporters on FR have had to develop rational arguments to support their candidate. As a result, we can now debate Thompson supporters under the table. All they can say is, “That guy’s a RINO flip-flopper!”
Go ahead, ask me why I support Romney. I dare ya. That’s a good topic for a News/Activism thread.
