I *just* had the funniest thought about Rmoney...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

He doesn't drink.

Now, don't get me wrong. I loathe him and everything he stands for.

But at least he's not a drunk.

You will never see him make a spectacle of himself the way W did.

[flamingdem]

1. He suffers from a worse addiction

to power, he's drunk with it and just wants more regardless of ethical implications.

I think a drunk like W is more predictable, Rmoney is truly scary as a hollow and heinous suit.

[Wilms]

2. "never see him make a spectacle of himself"??

Well, I'm not sure about that.

[gateley]

6. HAHA!!!!! No kidding! Nt

[notadmblnd]

3. Oh sure you will. People just won't be able to use alcohol as his excuse.

[Bake]

19. +1000

Bake

[titaniumsalute]

4. He's high on Mormonism

I'd rather he had a few cocktails everyday.

[coalition_unwilling]

25. Hah! I was flashing on an old Cheech and Chong riff: "I used to

be high on drugs. But now that I've found the Lord, I'm high on the Lord!"

[unblock]

5. you're right, in a way. he will find (and has found) different ways to make a spectacle of himself.

[progressoid]

7. And what is the RW going to do with out the "guy you would like to have a beer with" meme?

Gonna be hard to sell him as a Joe-six-pack kind of guy when he won't touch a six pack.

[flamingdem]

8. GOT MILK?

[progressoid]

13. Guy you'd like to have chocolate Yoohoo with?

Or is that banned too?

[alphafemale]

9. Drunk as * ever got. I don't think he ever strapped a dog to the roof of a car.

Or insulted a town's beloved cookies.

[Mnemosyne]

15. But he did drop poor Barney on numerous occasions. nt

[alphafemale]

18. I think part of that was Barney hated him.

And was trying to wiggle away. Bush tried to maintain a hold on the dog instead of letting it go.

[Mnemosyne]

30. At least Barney was smart. I wonder whatever happened to him...nt

[trof]

10. And that's another reason I don't trust him.

I don't trust a guy that doesn't drink.

[longship]

11. It's worse. He doesn't drink coffee.

The reason is that he's a robot and his metallic innards would rust away. No tea, either. No sodas. I've heard from a reliable source that he doesn't drink water either. It's that rust thing again, I s'pose.


Did I mention he's not human?

[madokie]

12. Stupid trumps drink though

you can fix a drinking problem but you can't fix stupid.
My 2 cents worth

[Marie Marie]

14. He's hooked on money. An addict just the same.

And he chases his drug of choice with no thought to the pain it causes others. An addict is an addict - always chasing that next high ($) to the exclusion of all else.

[IDemo]

16. Both have displayed trouble in finding and keeping a stance

GW was just a little more obvious about it -

[Aerows]

21. Honestly?

I detest Bush, but I knew where he was coming from. Romney is far, far worse in many respects because you never know which Romney you are getting. You, at the very least, knew, with Bush which George Bush you were getting.

You think I'm kidding with this comment? I'm not. In Foreign Policy Romney would be an f-word nightmare.

[Kalidurga]

17. It's actually a turn off...

I don't drink either. If someone offers me a beer I will, but mostly I just don't. The turn off is that holier than thou stance. There is nothing immoral about having a beer, a wine cooler, or whatever. Sometimes people gotta blow off some steam. Rmoney might be a better person if he had an occasional drink. I doubt it but it couldn't hurt to try.

[Aerows]

20. I wish he did drink

it would at least make his wooden soul more human. Oh well, no such luck.

[panader0]

22. "Never trust a man who doesn't drink." --W.C. Fields

I drink and I have several, (okay a few) friends who don't. I guess I trust him.

[Rincewind]

23. And you know this how?

Just because Mormons aren't supposed to drink, does not mean that no Mormons drink.

[0rganism]

24. Whatever happened to the "guy you'd like to have a beer with" litmus test?

Remember when that was all the rage back in 2004? How all the shills on the 24-hour "news" networks were babbling about how "people want to vote for a likable guy who they can, you know, sit down and have a beer with"?

Amazing how fast that went out the window in 2011.

[surrealAmerican]

26. You've got to be kidding.

He is quite capable of making a spectacle of himself without alcohol. His campaign events have proven this.

[TBF]

29. Most of what he does on a daily basis has proven he

is quite capable of making a spectacle of himself ...

[bigtree]

27. he's such a phoney

. . . I can imagine him making a spectacle of himself everytime he expresses an original thought.

[trumad]

28. At least Dubya had an excuse.
