1. I prefer the Geico Gecko

Both are silly and cartoonish, but at least the insurance spokeslizard doesn't change his tune every time it's convenient. Mitt Romney is a goddamned human weathervane, changing his story with every shift of the political wind.

3. Mitt Romney is an empty suit, just like all Politicians

They serve those who own them...

[Enrique]

4. I'd like to see Michael Douglas do a commercial

dress as Gecko, with the suspenders and all, give the "Greed is good" speech, but replace it with "Corporations are people..."

The character of Gecko was far, FAR mentally tougher than Mitty could dream of being on his best day.
