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.”

I think the line was “wearing an Edgar suit”, wasn’t it?

This makes Obammy look “normal”. I want 1980 back.

Lord Love a Duck! Reading this thread is hilarious. Somebody get Mitt out of Mississippi before he tries a line from “Pappy O’Daniels Flour Hour”.

“Is you is, or is you ain’t my constitiency?!”

Romney speaks like he’s the infomercial salesman in charge of selling Shamwow to the gullible audience.

The good thing about this Romney gaffe is, it unintentionally reflects on Santorum. Who goes out and blatantly patronizes his audience like that?

Does the leftwing media believe Obama's "third world" values and the pestilence it has brought to the White House make him better able "to connect to Americans" - if they didn't cover-up for him, and the GOP wasn't afraid to respond in kind?

Not to defend Romney, but the leftwing media will twist anything and everything about ANY GOP CANDIDATE into a negative to construct a disagreeable caricature to hammer Americans with non-stop - using everything weapon in their arsenal of propaganda. All while covering up and glorifying Obama!

Whether it will be "weird" (translation: Mormon) Romney, "fanatical" (translation: fundamentalist) Christian Santorum or maritally "unfaithful" (translation: politically untrustworthy/ruthless/heartless) Gingrich, they will all be judged unable "to connect with Americans."

FReepers or candidates jumping on the leftwing band in such attacks have already surrendered the November election - by allowing the leftwing media to dictate the terms. Terms that arm the left and disarm its opponents.

To win in November Americans and the GOP candidate's campaign must attack the media's bias and answer media caricatures by fighting fire with fire. They will not win by empowering the Media, by joining in it these attacks in the GOP primary when it favors their candidate.

Just imagine all the thrills that Romney would have with a bug zapper on a hot summer night.

ZZZAP..."WOW, did you see that one? It even left a big trail of smoke!! This is so much fun!!"

The video is interesting...he is clearly humming and hawing to answer a questions he clearly has no clue how to answer. The bug squash moment was to buy time and to divert attention. IMHO. I am not a Romney fan.

Romney has always reminded me of a slick used car salesman who you just can't trust.

He reminds me of the Mayor in the old movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas".

Every time he speaks, all I see is the scene where the slick looking Mayor rambles on for ten minutes, says nothing, puts his hat on sideways, turns quickly under it and leaves.

I agree with you. And I don’t even think there was a bug, to be honest.

But I guess it’s true this makes him an “alien”, etc.

It does. Nobody interrupts a speech to kill a bug unless they have the attention span of a squirrel. And the weird satisfaction he gets. I'll bet he creamed his pants. The guy is a certifiable freak.
