Romneys temper

[riverwalker]

We need to get more of these on photos and video! Sooner or later, he's going to lose it again and we will be watching


http://theweek.com/article/index/227698/mitt-romneys-1981-arrest-and-4-other-times-he-lost-his-cool

1. Facing a "disorderly conduct" arrest. (imagine a red faced, irate, handcuffed Romney in a bathing suit, THAT photo would be priceless! But just the fact that a grown Mitt was handcuffed is weird enough)

2. Tangling with a traffic cop at the Olympics (witness says he chewed out the guy "who the FUCK are you and what the FUCK are you doing at the Olympics&quot

5. In 2007 radio show, during commercial break. This time on video.

1. This sounds like info that could definitely hurt romney.

I hope the media runs with this.

[Kadie]

2. No wonder he was cranky...

Who Radio 1040

Tax Returns Mitt, Tax Returns!!!!!

[madinmaryland]

4. Good catch! The video is classic just for the radio station he was on!!

[Ruby the Liberal]

3. Wonder what straw will break the back?

Someone asking him in an interview if he is considering switching places on the ticket with Ryan? That would be a great one.

[n2doc]

5. Remember, Gramps McCain also has a volcanic temper

They seem to keep it under wraps when in public.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. Thats right!

He called Cindy a "C" didn't he. Forgot about that one.

I would love to see Rmoney blow his stack. There has to be something out there that will trigger his ego.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Oh my

[demgrrrll]

8. The guy from Devo made a great comment about Romney's anger on the Ed show

ought to go viral. He said that Obama isn't perfect but he has some humanity, while Romney and Ryan are very angry men who want to push people down in the dirt and make them snivel. I thought that's it, he has it, that is what is so off putting about these people and the people who follow them they are angry and seething with resentment and want to take things away from people and make them snivel in the dirt, have no health care and be poor so they can feel one up.

16. That sums it up

If only we can get that message out...

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Well...

I no longer think of him as an empty suit. What he strikes me as is... unstable. And, he seems to be competing against his dead father. He needs to be in counseling, more than anything.

[CanonRay]

10. Unstable...an excellent choice of words

for Mr. Romney.

[Historic NY]

12. Its a long way to November & the debates will test him...

to the breaking point..its been said he already was exhausted.

[Auntie Bush]

13. Yeah, all we need is another guy having daddy problems.

Look what was created...Bush! What is it with these men?

[kimbutgar]

11. I read an article a couple of months ago where someone who worked with him said

"He is a mean, sadistic man who, if elected, would make Caligula look like Walt Disney".
I work in wall street related job and have met quite a few men like Romney and this description is not out there. I get scared at the thought this guy might be president if we liberals stay home because president Obama wasn't able to undo 30 years of reaganomics. We are now informed and have to fight back. Vote and get your friends registered because the party wil be over for us if Romney is elected

14. and a fight on a plane with LMFAO' Sky Blu

Gordy says in the video that Romney grabbed him with a "condor grip," as a sidekick play-acts the scene and adds: "Vulcan grip."

Gordy then outlines his objection, saying, "I'm not your prey. I'm not a salmon going upstream. You're not going to rip me up."

The rapper says he was on the flight because he and his group, LMFAO, had been performing in Vancouver, where the Olympic Winter Games are being held. The Romneys were also there as special guests after Mitt Romney's work heading the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City.

15. It's a pattern, too many examples out there. But creepier is how he turns it ON, on cue.

Did you notice how utterly CREEPY he is?? goes from just ripping on that guy, to this phony BS personality on the radio?? He's just creepy.

Don't forget his going after the reporter after a photo op:

Also there is the infamous "corporations are people, my friend!" altercation at a fair.

He's a hot head.

17. Is Romneys temper plural for Romney temper, like Attorneys General is for Attorney General? (nt)

[grantcart]

18. one word - Debate

[Javaman]

19. he's a d-bag. nt

[FreeState]

20. Here is the key to getting him angry and off message

He does not like to be questioned. In the clip in the OP the interview told him the LDS Church is anti-abortion** and he had to change to be in line with the church. Heres were his anger gets triggered, the guy was wrong and kept pushing it. Romney is insecure about his faith or it would not have angered him. Here is to hoping that Obama has noticed this and gets him all riled up by making him uncomfortable in an area he is insecure in (hopefully not religion).

** The LDS Church's official stance is not what most right wing Christians are - the Church officially supports the right to choose in cases of rape, incest or health of the mother. You can be pro-choice and LDS - some of the main leaders are.

In today's society, abortion has become a common practice, defended by deceptive arguments. Latter-day prophets have denounced abortion, referring to the Lord's declaration, "Thou shalt not . . . kill, nor do anything like unto it" (D&C 59:6). Their counsel on the matter is clear: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must not submit to, perform, encourage, pay for, or arrange for an abortion. Church members who encourage an abortion in any way may be subject to Church discipline.

Church leaders have said that some exceptional circumstances may justify an abortion, such as when pregnancy is the result of incest or rape, when the life or health of the mother is judged by competent medical authority to be in serious jeopardy, or when the fetus is known by competent medical authority to have severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth. But even these circumstances do not automatically justify an abortion. Those who face such circumstances should consider abortion only after consulting with their local Church leaders and receiving a confirmation through earnest prayer.

When a child is conceived out of wedlock, the best option is for the mother and father of the child to marry and work toward establishing an eternal family relationship. If a successful marriage is unlikely, they should place the child for adoption, preferably through LDS Family Services.

21. He reminds me of the President in that old novel "Night of Camp David"

A pretty good book that delves (somewhat shallowly but provocatively) into the possibility of the Prez going barely-detectably insane. One brief but important consideration in the story was the question "Are we willing to trust this man whose finger is on the nuclear button?"

[lindysalsagal]

22. Hence, the "angry" projection onto Obama this week.

They've been trying to catch Obama being an angry militant black, but it's not gonna work. Instead, he smiles and jokes and sings and dances. He's just so much smarter than they are, and that's w hat really pisses them off.

23. I wonder what he means when he says "this is all frivolous"

It seems like there are editing cuts in the tape and so I can't be sure of the context. But the interviewer mentioned the second coming of Christ and the fact he took the subject very seriously to which Romney responded "this is all frivolous". I wonder what Romney meant. Did he mean that any controversy over whether he's pro life or pro choice is frivolous?

[HangOnKids]

24. Having To Explain Himself Is Frivolous To Him

It had NOTHING to do with the issue raised, Rmoney thinks anyone who questions him is frivolous. Arrogant narcissistic asshole.
