At 10:20 in, Romney thinks he's no longer being recorded and gradually flies off the handle in an off-air conversation with the host. Here you can see the true temper behind the corporate raiding "buyout baron." The link will open the video at exactly the right moment, no need to use the slider.
I recall another freeper said he/she had a friend who worked for Mitt Romney once and said he was the meanest man she'd ever met. Please reply to confirm the details of that if the freeper who wrote that several weeks ago is reading this.
Watched it, didn’t see that happen. I’m for Newt, totally against Romney. Where is the flying off the handle in that video?
Meltdown? Where? This was just a good passionate discussion, and I happen to agree with his position for the most part. Let’s not overplay the hand, there are plenty of valid reasons to oppose Romney without nitpicking and making stuff up.
If I were the one talking to Mitt, I’d have told him to chill the hell out and stop jumping to accusations.
So do I.
There are good reasons not to support Romney. This video, however, and whatever it is you think it shows, is not one of those reasons.
Perhaps but all those condescending looks and smarmy laughs are beyond creepy. Seems like a mask. He's always on stage and acting. He's hiding something with that holier than thou bs.
The difference in his demeanor between when the headphones are on and he’s on the air vs. when he thinks he is off the air are stark. He has never shown this side of himself in public that I’ve seen. I find his personality as shown here to be self-centered, short-tempered, rude, repellent, appalling and disgusting. This is a peek at the Romney that Brett Baier said confronted him off-camera to complain about his Special Report interview last month. It also fits with the Romney who we know from Politico’s article is cold as ice and refuses to talk to or engage with reporters on a personal level on the campaign trail (unlike Newt).
I really dislike Romney -- but I watched the first 13 minutes of this video and I thought he was more polite and more reasonable than the guy interviewing him.
I will never vote for Romney. That's a flat statement. But this video doesn't show me that he's a jerk.
Are we at that remote period?
It's been a while since I've linked them...
The Papers of James Madison - Notes on the Debates in the Federal Convention
2007. Here's a lower-quality upload, but at least semi-properly labeled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MRbIwshAvU
I seem to recall an incident during the SLC Olympics where he personally berated and insulted some volunteers for something. Memory seems to tell me it was a traffic control situation near Snowbasin in Ogden.
I think he can turn into another person if he thinks he will either never see you again or he is not emotionally tied to you in any way.
If posters can’t see Romney’s Clintonesque instinct to lie, bristle and double-talk, I don’t know what to say...
Do viewers understand that Mitt claims he was secretly recorded by a hidden camera?
More info on the incident:
Video source is apparently: Jan Mickelson radio talk show on Aug 2, 2007 on WHO Radio in Des Moines, Iowa

As part of her “primary questions” project, Katie Couric asked all of the candidates about the last time they lost their temper and what happened. Romney said he doesn’t lose his temper but instead becomes “intense.” He went on to note that the last time was in a radio interview w/ Jan Mickelson in Iowa, during which he said Mickelson attacked his faith.
Could you imagine a reporter questioning a candidate like this about Judaism?
Melt down? True temper? Didn’t see it.
Not the same thing at all. Jews have ‘denominations’ with their own positions, not a hierarchy. And secular Jews see their affinity as ethnic, not religious at all.
I really don’t have enough of a masochistic streak to watch this alleged ‘meltdown’ video clip, and I thank my fellow FReepers for suffering through however much of it they did so I could decide not to watch it, as one comment stated “there are plenty of reasons to oppose Romney, this video is not one” so I’ll just go with that.
It still comes down to “would I trust this man to transport my Irish Setter to Canada without strapping him to the roof rack of his station wagon?” And the answer is HELL NO!
RINOmney = vapid dork.
Period.
The only diff between him and the Cretin-in-Chief is a slight diff in skin color.
