Mitt Romney's weirdness means he can't connect with American voters (Mitt's bizarre bug-squash...)
Telegraph UK ^ | 3/10/12 | Tim Stanley

-snip-

Romney delivers every emotion – anger, humour, sadness, elation – in the same giddy voice of a carpet salesman who’s only got ten seconds before you close the door in his face.

On Friday, he swung down South and affected love for the region. He called himself an “unofficial Southerner” because he's eaten grits and learned out to say “y’all.” Then there was a truly bizarre moment when, in the middle of admitting that he knows nothing about agriculture, he broke away mid-sentence to crush a bug beneath his foot. He said, “Oh look at that, look at that little guy, there. Got him.”

Romney is a coward and the Ken Mehlman/Karl Rove/Matt Rhoades mafia is doing his dirty work. Romney is a coward and his gay winged monkey corps is pathetic and sad.

He reminds me of one of those scrubbed and suited-up missionaries who won't take "no, thank you" for an answer.

I wonder why that is?

EXACTLY - Thank you, that was like someone giving me the title to a song I knew, but couldn’t remember.

I defend all GOP candidates. Stories like this will be used against any nominee and are ridiculous.

I understand your point, but the consistently frustrating thing is, they do it to themselves and make it easy for the LMS to jump all over it.

It's weird that after all these years of campaigning, Romney is seriously gaff prone. It's like he's learned nothing. At least just to keep his mouth shut.

Romney's not my first choice, - - but I couldn't agree with you more . . .

Youtube: Obama swats fly during TV interview.

He was also pretty pleased with himself.

That sentence speaks volumes about the man. Romney has always reminded me of a slick used car salesman who you just can't trust.

Mittens does seem to have a knack for racking up negative karma and dogma points.

This is why Romney does not have the nomination sealed up yet and why he “isn’t connecting” with the voters as the media says. People don’t trust him. He’s the cheezy grit.

“I’m gonna’ vote for him, he said y’all real good”

“Me too, he likes grits”

“Yeah and he’s got a pretty mouf’ too”
