They use Mitt's foreskin as a tarp when it rains at the Salt Lake Stadium!

No no no. He said <a href="http:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/PrinceOfSpace" target="_blank">something else completely!</a>

I actually think his brain is incapable of functioning when his obvious lies are challenged. I consider it to be a disqualifying flaw - in fact, two disqualifying flaws - the constant telling of obvious lies, and the inability to function in the presence of dissent.

In context, there's no coherent way to parse his sentence, it's self-contradictory. The "no" is <em>probably</em> a verbal tic, albeit a strange one. Even if you remove it, though, the answer is entirely nonresponsive, because within it is an admission Mitt desperately wants to avoid making explicit - that he <em>will</em> raise taxes on the middle class if elected.

He certainly should be hammered for that answer.

That's a great deal, everyone should snatch it right up!

President Mittens Willard Romulus's "peace through esteem" solution sounds airtight. After all, we know how high in esteem everyone held Taxachussettes in while he was governor back in 2004.

Yeah, but they don't have the guts to confront us about it, so they just complain to Australia when we're not in the room.

Side note: I used to live literally next door to where Jane Austen <a href="http:\/\/austenonly.com\/2010\/03\/06\/jane-austen-in-bath-sydney-place\/" target="_blank">used to live</a>.

In plain view is of course the normal practice.

Tough to find a meter for "no controlling legal authority", though.

<blockquote>Making it about the status of any particular victim completely misses the point </blockquote>

Seems especially salient in that there's a pretty good chance the attackers didn't even know the Ambassador was in Benghazi when they launched the attack.

I could go for some crumpet, with or without the clotted cream.

The answer is blowing out Mitt's ass.

And not in any good way.

Hell no I don't want him having authority of any of my body, and nor do you I suspect.

Maybe he can be president of Anoat. Maybe.
