Interesting Roomba analogy. In Bladerunner, the question was What makes a replicant/machine human? Romney is posing the question, What makes a human into a machine?

When I read about Bloomberg endorsing Obama on account of climate change, I took that as a kind of backhanded endorsement. Like when Axelrod and Plouffe got wind of this, they must have started calling Bloomberg's people and trying to explain, "Cool it. Doing something about climate change doesn't poll well with independents."

USA? USA? Good lord what a bunch of paste-eating morons he has supporting him...
4
His face and expression is the same one from the debates while Obama was speaking. Very practiced, non-emotion face.
5
This is actually terrifying.
6
I can see why Bloomberg jumped ship.
7
@5 Yeah... creepy Body Snatchers kind of shit.
8
@6: Bloomberg is an independent, at the most he was a once RINO.

Jesus. We are so screwed.

The Americans who will likely decide this election are venal ignorant cretins.

Romney stands a very good chance of winning. We have to face that fact.

And if Romney wins he will implement the same moronic policies that have already been proven failures. Policy failures for everybody but the top 1%. But even the 1% has to eat and breathe.

Even the toughest most brainwashed goon squads of the top 1% won't be able to scream "USA! USA! USA!" loud enough to hold back the rising oceans.

Or by defunding education and promoting the bible will the 1% prevent the apocalyptic shift in how much food the planet can grow and where we can grow it.

For a split second I thought the protestor was actually a Romney supporter holding a sign that said "End Climate Science."
11
@8 it's true. Anybody that shows the faintest glimmer of reasoning or intelligence can't possibly be a Republican.
12
Well, they are really gonna hate the bloomberg business cover story this week.

Boos and chants of "USA" are standard protester-shushing behavior no matter where you are on the political spectrum. Other chants are sometimes used - "Four More Years" or other short slogans, or even the candidate's name if it has a nice shouting rhythm to it.

@ 8 RINO? You mean like Tea Baggers? Claiming to be conservative but really bat shit crazy radicals. Or GProud and the most of the the log cabin "republicans"? Claiming to be conservative but really locked onto a single issue ("trickle down economics" an economic policy history has proven to be a abject failure.) and a strange diefication of Reagan.

I did not know that bowels can be disquieted. Now I must go take a haunted shit.
The next couple of days are going to feel like sitting in the waiting room while our mom/dad/SO/kid/dog/cat/ferret is in surgery. That horrible melange of climbing the walls and calm, chilling dread.
16
@11 exactly.

Oh, by the way, job numbers are way up. Both ADR and the "secret" numbers they release tomorrow (already leaked on the other side of the pond).

And unemployment is down.
17
@8 Ah, the term RINO. You've really been jumping the shark lately.
18
@8 Better crack open that bottle soon in your profile pic. That particular vintage I hear is going downhill with each passing day. Sorry, Uncle Tom!
19
We used to be a country that reveled in science, research, critical thinking, and healthy debate.

What happened?
20
Republicans are ridiculous people: Between their naive and/or sociopathic ways and their seemingly endless sex problems, I don't know how anyone can take them seriously.

There's a reason why things like spam will always be with us, and that reason the people in that audience and others like them.
22
Mittsy is looking a little tired these days. Dark circles around the eyes much? Must be losing sleep over all that money he spent on disaster relief. Oh wait.
23
@19: very droll.
24
@21- If it cheers you up at all, I'm 100% certain GDFR is just Seattleblues pretending not to be a closet case.
25
I dunno -- my favorite part was at the 9 second mark when he says "we, uh, we 'care' about them", as if it's a foreign word that he's pronouncing for the first time.

Hey, Gay Dude for Romney -

I know we're all planning our election night activities and heard about this promotion they're having at Steamworks exclusively for people like you. For just $5, they blindfold you, throw you over a bench and f*ck you with a three inch dildo. Since you clearly love to get screwed by something unpleasant, I thought this would be right up your alley.

-Gay Dude for Obama
27
@26: There's a company that makes 3-inch dildos?
28
Never underestimate the stuff people can be into.
29
Why didn't he stick his fingers in his ears and start speaking in tongues. If you act like something doesn't exist, does that make it disappear? Maybe Romney's plan for climate change is to click his heels together. There's no place like Rome. There's no place like Rome.
30
To be fair, Romney's probably had about four hours of sleep in the past two weeks combined. Campaigning is tough work, and Romney's really too old for that game.
31
@27, Vlasic.
32
@10 so did I. I'm glad you commented that or I wouldn't have watched it again. Wow conservatives, you are just making yourselves look ridiculous to the world. Be ashamed!
33
@26: You know what is really being screwed by something unpleasant? That is if your guy wins and appoints Bloomberg as the new Secretary of Business.
34
@33, oh, my god make it stop! Such terrifying threats you make! Bloomberg! Secretary of Business! Maybe Obama will make Necco wafers the Official US Candy too! Then how screwed will we be?

Seriously, this is what you got? I remember you saying you've been doing a heckuva job defending your miserable piece of shit candidate? What happened to that?
35
@31: Pickled suppositories?
36
@19: Reagan.
37
@33 "There ain't no Secretary of Business no more, son."
38
This audience of mindless dorksheep buying into Romney's charmless boilerplate makes me think of what the crowd was like in Rouen in 1431 when someone shouted out: "what's wrong with a woman hearing voices, dressing in men's clothes and leading an army?"
39
@19: " We used to be a country that reveled in science, research, critical thinking, and healthy debate. What happened?"

Well, people other than white, propertied, Enlightenment deists got the vote - and not we're stuck pandering to the rest of the mouth-breathers.
40
Reports of whirling sounds emanating from the grave of George Romney could not be immediately confirmed...
41
Is the left really this desperate? You don't have to like the guy or vote for him, but the seething, spittling anger here is comical.

He's awkwardly, politely waiting for security to remove an obnoxious, disruptive protester. That's it. Should Obama put up with some asshole screaming at him about Benghazi? Of course not. Obama would probably have a snappy comeback, and Obama's crowd would probably cheer just as loudly to drown out the jackass.

Non issue. Grow up.
42
A personal comment: any post containing the terms "RINO", "DINO", "sheeple" (or variations thereof), "Rmoney" (or variations thereof), or "sgt_doom" is an automatic TL;DR as far as I'm concerned. I suspect I am not alone in this.
43
John Kerry reacted similarly the day that kid in Florida got tazed (of "Don't taze me, bro" fame). It is not presidential. It does not show leadership under pressure.

Please wait...
