Voters head to polls in SC as Mitt Romney belittles Gingrich and does his own laundry

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Voters battled rainstorms and tornado warnings as they streamed to the polls here today, capping a tumultuous and at times politically dizzying week of events that, by tonight, could potentially reshape the Republican presidential nomination process once more.

Extending a more aggressive phase of his campaign, Mitt Romney today renewed attacks on Newt Gingrich, calling on the former House speaker to release records related to his role consulting Freddie Mac, the quasi-public lending agency that many blame for accelerating the housing crisis.

“I’d like to see what he actually told Freddie Mac,” Romney told reporters after visiting his campaign headquarters. “Don’t ya think we ought to see it? This is a big issue. We’ve got a Washington insider talking about Freddie Mac, let’s see what his report was to Freddie Mac, what he said to them, what advice he gave them.”

His campaign sent out a press release – “Happy 15th Anniversary, Mr. Speaker” – to draw attention to the day 15 years ago when Gingrich was reprimanded by the House for ethical wrongdoing.

Yet while Romney was happy to criticize Gingrich to reporters, he avoided any face-to-face interaction with his rival......

Romney, in a week in which his opponents criticized him for being out of touch, showcased that he was doing one of the most humble chores, washing his own clothes. His son, Tagg, sent out a photo on Twitter of Romney dumping Tide into a washing machine. Ann Romney, dressed casually in a sweatshirt, removed clothes from the next machine......................

Be careful with goat porn like that. Soon you will be getting solicitations from jihadis for dates and such.

Someone with photo shop tech skills should take the plug out of the wall and put it in the wash basin.

The outlet looks a little shakey already!

Right near the WATER and not a GFI!!!

[Where are the OTHER machine(s) plugged in?]

Ok then, because you are, obviously, the adult in the room.

To be so ignorant to not know that when you pour a single-load box into the machine you kind of have to turn it upside down just makes you look foolish. And petty. And, sometimes, hateful.

HMMMmmm...

Unlike humans, whose eyes reflect RED; goat’s eyes reflect a blue color.

“It may not be hatred-triggered for everyone (but trust me when I say that it is from some). But it is foolish, ignorant, and petty regardless of the motivation. We need to argue facts or we are just as bad as the left. Suggesting that holding a box of laundry detergent upside down is a disqualifier for president is bad enough. To be so ignorant to not know that when you pour a single-load box into the machine you kind of have to turn it upside down just makes you look foolish. And petty. And, sometimes, hateful.
And potty comments just makes us look like third graders.”

Well, I guess I’ll have to own up to ignorance, because I’m not up to speed on the details of how to handle a single-size box of Tide!

Seriously, you should loosen up and develop a sense of humor. Just a suggestion. :)
