Rmoney's White Board (let the photoshops begin!)

[Ruby the Liberal]

Rmoney at a campaign stop, explaining his tax strategies.

[EarlG]

1. The new Romney campaign strategy

[Ruby the Liberal]

2. Ahahaha!!

[WillyT]

5. LOL !!! - K & R !!!

[Astazia]

41. What does k&r mean? (stll trying to learn acronyms here)

Hep me puhleeeeeze.

[Bossy Monkey]

44. It means "kicked and recommended"

In most places, commenting on a post so that it will have greater visibility in a given forum would be called "bumping" or "bump to the top" (bttt), but here that's considered reminiscent of Free Republic (where they do it all the time) so we say kick instead, as in donkey kick.

[Astazia]

80. Thanks Willy & Bossy Monkey etal

You all rock. I am new to this but not to being opionated. N/T I looked up as note text meaning (I think) that the post is referring to what they are commenting on, right? Any assistance is truely appreciated.

Thanks again, Taz

[femmocrat]

90. Welcome to DU, Astazia!

N/T ( nt, n/t) means "no text" in the message box. Posters sometimes answer only in the reply space and leave this space blank.

[Volaris]

133. There used to be a dictionary of terms around here somewhere...

I don't know if it made the transfer over though...if it didn't I'll bet someone has a link to a cached copy of it, right guys?

And welcome to DU, btw

[Make7]

157. Link to DU2 Glossary:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=358&topic_id=190&mesg_id=190#190

It's a little outdated, but most of it is still informative.

Welcome to DU3!

[docgee]

24. LOL!!!!!

[solara]

35. Hahaha!!

[maddezmom]

52. or for the over PG-13...Shit head

[nxylas]

114. I think poopy-head is funnier

It shows the childishness of Romney's attacks.

[yeswecanandwedid]

92. awesome. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

148. ROFL! Perfect!

[Kahuna]

163. EXCELLENT!!!!

[JaneyVee]

3. Who has the blank?

[Ruby the Liberal]

4. Not sure - that was in my Twitter.

If I see someone upload one to here, I'll add it to the OP.

[JaneyVee]

6. Okay, good stuff. I enjoy photoshopping. I could blank it out myself, was just being lazy about it.

Are we friends on Twitter? Send me your @address I'll follow.

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. Here is one with the words just erased.

[JaneyVee]

9. THANKS!

[Erose999]

19. Could someone graft this image into the whiteboard?

[dogknob]

81. Heh heh! Heh! You said "graft."

[BumRushDaShow]

84. The perspective was a bit of a pain but how about this?

[Erose999]

152. thanks! haha

[wordpix]

175. Just needs the heading "Tax Avoidance Schemes" at top

[Mira]

102. The Rmoney version

of Abraham Maslov's hierarchy of human needs.

(refreshing your memory:
)

[WCGreen]

118. I bought into that when I was14 years old...

And then I had my first non self-afflicted orgasm...

[RC]

144. Needs another layer.

With ¢ instead of $ across the bottom.

[Erose999]

151. hahaha yeah pretty much

[madinmaryland]

43. Since he has no real ideas of his own, that is probably the best one!!

[Ruby the Liberal]

49. And this post is full of WIN.

[KurtNYC]

8. Romney's background makes it looks like he is behind a strip mall

or something.

I've seen more earth-like images coming from Curiosity.

[Pool Hall Ace]

87. Perhaps he is on the planet Kolob.

[gkhouston]

168. Yep, he's back there with the dumpsters. Seems appropriate. n/t

[EarlG]

10. Romney has a sudden accidental burst of honesty

[ProSense]

This thread rocks! I love election season and all the great photoshops that come out of DU....

[CrispyQ]

177. DUzy!

[Aerows]

79. I hate to admit it...

But I don't have any idea who that is and why this is funny. I'd like to share in the laughs, though

[lightcameron]

93. Bob Ross

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross

[Skittles]

189. aw I LOVED Bob Ross

I had zero interest in painting but loved his calm demeanor and soothing voice

[lobodons]

99. Hey, you owe me a new keyboard

This one now has my drink all over it after I scrolled down to this pic, I lost it. OMG, that was funny.

[Starry Messenger]

103. omg.

I'll be dreaming of this one.

[a la izquierda]

120. You and your little trees...

owe me a new computer!

[Heather MC]

128. wow he really channelled his inner Bob Ross

[MADem]

160. Shit, yer killin me here!!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. "I STOLE THIS BOARD FROM GLENN BECK!"

"THE MAGIC MARKER TOO!"

[pinboy3niner]

22. Not impressed

McKayla Maroney is not impressed.

[flamingdem]

37. 2 memes in one!

I love it

[UnrepentantLiberal]

39. She's angry about a lot of things.

[Ruby the Liberal]

40. That pic is priceless.

[joshcryer]

98. HAHAHA! MY HERO.

Oh my god the not impressed meme has been everywhere. Brilliant!

[alfredo]

[Generic Other]

23. Busy as a bee that one!

dogwhistle: I have it on good authority that Green Jello is the official food of Mormons and the state dessert of Utah.

[Aerows]

82. Romney

Is as appealing as a green jello mold with a vomit suspension in it.

[lobodons]

100. 2002 Olympic Green Jello Pin

2002 Olympic Green Jello Pin was one of the most sought after.

[Berlum]

116. $20 will get you one on the Intertubes marketplaces

[Bertha Venation]

146. What is the significance of the green jello pin?

[Generic Other]

155. I believe it celebrates the saving of the Mormons

by seagulls who turned the locusts into green jello. Manna from heaven so to speak.

on edit: I was wrong.
this is what SLATE says it means.

"In adopting and making Jell-O “their” food, Mormons (or Lutherans or Methodists) are making a statement about their identity, accepting all of the food’s positive connotations of family-friendliness, child-centeredness, and domesticity. Outsiders, in contrast, often look in and see Jell-O as a mark of a lack of taste that renders this group strange, immature, and ultimately mockable."

[cindyperry2010]

27. so these taxes

that he did not pay(something stinks to high hell here)must really be getting under his skin or why else would he talk about it again today?

[sad sally]

28. Did you catch it when he tried to erase with his finger?

This must have been Roves's instructions - always use a white board.

[CTyankee]

172. that was embarrassing. He looked like he'd never done a whiteboard presentation before.

Not that it is so bad to make that kind of mistake...I do it all the time when I tutor a class in ESL...but not when it is a major presentation in a presidential campaign...

I hear it was Romney's idea to do the whiteboard. I can see the nodding heads of his staff: "Great idea, boss!"

[tomm2thumbs]

30. NO chance - at this point, less than zero

[russspeakeasy]

32. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[Ruby the Liberal]

34. LOL!

[DesertRat]

42. The truth!

[maddezmom]

57. hehe

[treestar]

[TheDebbieDee]

179. I hope you don't mind but I posted this on my Facebook page..........

I credited you tho, of course.

[tomm2thumbs]

187. ... have at it!

thanks, it's all yours

[flamingdem]

36. Hey girl (etc.) it's a new internet meme

love it!

[ailsagirl]

45. He's looking worse and worse

Harried, stressed, greasy hair

[lunatica]

119. You're right. He's looking like he ran into a wall full tilt

And soon Paul Ryan will start looking like that too.

[ailsagirl]

132. Ryan looked that way *before* he signed on!

They *both* look greasy--don't they ever wash their hair?? Gross!!

The 'wet look' is dead, boys

[beac]

46. Because the "secret weapon" imploded:

51. Farkers would be jealous.

Keep up the good work.

May I suggest watermarking your alias or DU in the pic so credit is given when they are stolen. And I'm sure they will be. I definitely expect some of these to be making FB rounds soon.

[Ruby the Liberal]

58. Well, I stole it from my Twitter

It was in my feed 2x - not sure who the original author is. Pass them on at will.

[1monster]

145. I've seen some of Earl G's stuff on Facebook, with some additions...

and no credits.

[nolabear]

55. What was an Etch a Sketch too complicated for him?

[gkhouston]

169. He couldn't draw with it because the Republican model only has a knob on the right,

which means everything is one-dimensional.

[seltzerwater]

59. whiteboards are for games

[seltzerwater]

60. And sloganizing..

[Ruby the Liberal]

61. Welcome to DU.

Nice job!

[beac]

78. LOL! And so true...

"Hang Every Man, Woman and Child" is Rmoney's plan for "A Better Amercia".

[ailsagirl]

156. I've always disliked whiteboards

The only good thing about them is you can't screech your fingernails across them.

[beac]

63. A little retroactive strategizing at Romney headquarters:

[Ruby the Liberal]

64. Oh God No!

[CrispyQ]

178. Howl!

[Kadie]

68. My first attempt at something like this...

[Ruby the Liberal]

73. First attempt?

That is VERY impressive!

[Astazia]

83. Outfu*kingstanding

I wish this old hippie could learn this stuff! I used to be good at this before the internet passed me by. I think this is wonderful! Is the map in the Caymans, Bermuda? Such good art All y'all!

[Kadie]

85. Thanks.

It took me a good portion of the afternoon, 2 different programs, and help from my husband. It was fun, I might try it again.

[Ruby the Liberal]

88. It was worth the time.

That is not only hilarious, but very well done.

[lunatica]

121. I do photoshop and I think you did good!

It's impressive for a first effort, and it does take time no matter how good you are.

[BumRushDaShow]

86. The map is a riot!

The X must be where he hid his tax returns!

[lightcameron]

70. mine

Welcome to DU!

[yeswecanandwedid]

94. This one made me laugh. nt

[zeemike]

101. Ha...I thought of that one too.

But I don't have photo shop...but it needs a word bubble that says Now here is the proper way to strap your dog to the car...

[lunatica]

122. That's pure evil!

I love it!

[livetohike]

158. Laughing so hard, I am crying

I stumbled upon him doing this live and was like WTF? The photoshops write themselves!

[dsvajda]

89. You just buy from yourself...

Maybe this is how he made his millions back in the 90's. I'd hide my tax returns too

[Ruby the Liberal]

91. Amway?

[KurtNYC]

129. Like it.

Welcome to DU.

[Island Deac]

130. Thank you Dexter.

[Ruby the Liberal]

[goclark]

108. Love it!

Has the village idiot ever considered paying someone to make the silly /useless graphs ahead of time?


That way he could have his hands free to point to the birds in the sky and the little trees and give a quick second to those taxes.

What's next from the village idiot?

[yoyossarian]

106. I did this earlier today, then found this post just waitin'!

"You people don't need to:

-See my tax returns
-Know how much I paid in taxes
-Know when I left Bain
-See the records of the 2002 Olympics I was in charge of


(add more as you can think of them).

I'm not good at the Photoshop stuff.

[leftylauren]

166. Love love love this thread

Can you turn the whiteboard into a giant etch a sketch?

[gkhouston]

167. The Obama/Biden campaign should do a whiteboard ad called "Let's Do the Math"

and show just what Romney/Ryan will do to us. And when R&R object, ask them to show their math. If our assumptions are "wrong", show us your assumptions and then show us what they lead to. It's time to step up to the board, fellas, and stop acting like you've been huffing the markers. No "dog ate my homework"-type excuses are acceptable.
