Tagg Romney, the suck-upiest one of the Romney brood, turns to average objective Americans to prove that his dad is too the bestest dad on the whole planet, maybe even the universe…if his religion lets him believe in that:
The response the campaign has been fielding to my Dad’s speech yesterday has been overwhelmingly positive and some of it has been deeply touching. My Dad and many of his family has received personal emails and phone calls from a broad spectrum of people who have been very complimentary of the speech–from evangelical leaders, politicians, and even some journalists. And while you’d never expect any speech to receive unanimous praise, the feedback on the TV, radio, and print has also been overwhelmingly positive. Here is a small sampling:
His list then includes, among others, Rush Limbaugh (drug addict, off-shore underage sex aficionado), Pat Buchanan (Nazi), Bill Bennett (compulsive gambling addict), Chris Matthews (man crush addict), Peggy Noonan (secret lush and Reagan addict) and Rich Lowry who had this to say:
He partially wrote and then delivered a speech that was a deeply felt love poem to America, a defense and celebration of its religious vibrancy and world-shaping commitment to liberty."
Rich then declared that Mitt Romney had won the election and is our new president because Rich still has that premature celebration problem

The Romneys are saccharin. I would like to know how this guy got elected gov of Mass.
That sure is a “broad spectrum” voicing their support there, Taggster.
Of course, a Venn diagram of opinion makers would have all of them in the subset labeled “idiots”.
But it’s a broad spectrum of idiocy, certainly.
I wonder what king of knee pads Lowry prefers? Does he like the athletic volleyball style, or the more pragmatic carpet installer type?
You’d think anyone on either end of the political spectrum would be screaming with their hair on fire on the lack of energy on the government end of the Iraq “solution”. Its stupid to set yourself up for the fall with myopic bleating on the military strategy. But then thats Lowry for you.
GO MITT!! Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!

“premature celebration problem” — I keep getting ads from pharmacies in Canada that’ll help me deal with that. No, wait… that might be something else. Still, should I forward them to Rich and Mitt’s boys as a friendly gesture?
And I’m sorry, but White guy fist bumps?!? Nothing says out of touch with reality like two men in tuxedos trying to be down like ol’ homies… the only thing more embarasing might be signing on to a religion that makes the attendees at a Trek Con look sane, and then standing up and giving a speech about it to convince people that you’re fit to lead.
Alas, though the meek shall inherit the earth, the one who gains access to the “button of destruction” is no longer meek, and the forces of darkness will grow strong within him. This lack of foresight will be your doom. Or something like that.
Mitt said this:
Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom….Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
This is a bad brain at work, a very bad brain.
It must be tough watching your big, fat inheritance go up in smoke like that; Tagg is just trying to rescue a few bills from the flames. Maybe if he’s good enough with his mouth (and has the most comfortable knee pads)he’ll land some wingnut welfare that’s not attached to his loser dad. Consider his mention of all those “journalists” as foreplay, with the promise of better (ooooohhhh yeeeeesssss, right thereeeeee) to come.
I’ll never be able to fist bump again.
Well, i hate to be a religious bigot, but this Mormonism thing is just a little too close to the Muslimism thing. And not just in spelling. The whole numerous wives/virgins in heaven. The taking away my alcohol. I believe Joseph Smith’s middle name was Muhammed. It would be irresponsible not to speculate anyway.
Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom…
Wrong on both counts. They are not compatible, which is why they need to be separate. I believe he knows better, he just doesn’t give a shit. He’s cynically telling the yahoos what they want to hear, which is actually preferable to the true believers. If he wins, I’m maybe he’ll tell them to go fuck themselves, in a nice Mormon kind of way.
Fuck Mitt and his five sons of privilege and his stupid speech.
Inasmuch as the concept of personal piety arose in the 13th Century I am inclined to doubt the religion/freedom connection. The correlation between the two becomes even more tenuous when you consider that Christianity arose during the heyday of the Roman Empire.
Romney’s speech was that of a used car dealer selling a ‘92 Camaro to a yokel who already wanted to buy it. The Republicans are so desperate for greatness in their morally and intellectually stunted field that they are willing to ascribe it to Romney’s protracted boilerplate.
He has a Bad Brain because he is a member of the Right Brigade.
That is the worst picture of The Five that I’ve seen you post in quite a while. Dare I call them The Romney Five?
Hey Tagg Romney, gimme your Pa’s email address and I’ll be sure to express my feelings too:
Dear Willard,
What’s with them rats anyways?
And what day of the week is Latter-day?
Is it hopefully a day off?
Are you really on a mission from doG?
How many wives is “enough”?
That’s all for now. Oh, wait a minute. If you don’t win, are you going into the movies? You sure are purty!
P.S. I’d vote for you, but they won’t allow me out of the disturbed ward here at “farm”. We have lots of Repugs here. I wonder why?
Yours truly,
Ethel “Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh” Pudpuller.
And let’s not forget that this is the man who put his luggage in the car and his dog on the luggage rack. A fine mind, for sure.
Mormon backwards. NOMRom. No Mitt Romney?
I think this is another secret handshake…
mitt is a priest, tagg is an altarboy.
Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom….Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
Yeah, get Thomas Paine a body bag!! Yeah!! Yeah!!!
it drives me absolutely fucking crazy that people even mention the Rommoron in the same sentence as JFK.
What part of the blinding, deafening contradiction between “I believe in the absolute separation of church and state” and “I believe that freedom requires religion” eludes the comprehension of even such tiny little minds as these people possess??
Mitt ran against pathetic machine dem Shannon O’Brien, who ran a shitty campaign.
But Mitt also had to decide, as his term neared its end, whether to risk losing a re-election bid (a very strong possibility, since he was widely seen as an empty suit), or to just jump ship and go for the gold (which he did).
He didn’t do shit as gov.
Pancakes require ketchup just as ketchup requires pancakes.
He didn’t do shit as gov.
I assume you mean he didn’t do anything positive. Big difference. Raised every fee known to man, from registering watercraft to filing real estate transactions, because then he could say, as truthfully as he is capable, I didn’t raise taxes. Reneged on a state union contract negotiated in good faith with the previous shitbag, Jane Swift, because his holiness wasn’t a party to the agreement. I wasn’t there, so it doesn’t count. Went back on his previous support for stem cell research, which probably set the Commonwealth back 10 years in research funding.
He might not have done shit, but he sure shit on us while he was in office.
I’m with Maureen–Romney is so phony. I like seeing Crazy Huckabee, Flip a Minute Romney, and Lying Rudy duke it out. If the Dems, spineless and damaging as their House and Senate is can’t beat this bunch, they really need to quit.
Mitt’s No J.F.K.
Wonder Twin powers…de-activate.
Magic underwear= unelectable.
Just ask those fundy freakshow candidates in the Ozarks.
Mitt ain’t handlin’ enuff snakes and speakin’ in enuff tunges.
Not to mention the poison drinkin’
Where’s yer Windex, Mitt?
Thought not.
I’m sure Rich wears kneepads just like the “troops” in Iraq. Makes him feel like he’s fighting the enemy @ home.
