28. Man Oh man. The EXACT way my conservative father is

Fri Jul 27, 2012, 01:17 AM

Jul 2012

He was a "boss" for the last 25 years of his working life, and since retiring lives in such a bubble and associates only with like minded types that he only very rarely had to actually debate somebody who used critical thinking. Would believe he's hitting you with a solid trump card, the all time zinger, when it's actually nothing more than the the most time-worn trite talking point...but he doesn't know this.

No doubt yet that Mitt will yet out-do himself with his tone deaf gaffes, despite a legion of handlers/advisors. Obama looks absolutely rational and in-tune by comparison. I don't see how any amount of money can make Mitt more formidable as a candidate.
