The Uncanny (Sunrise) Valley: Man in Suit Gives Speech

Mittens.jpeg

Confidential Restonian Operative "The Paper Army" tweeted us this exciting photo of likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who spoke at the Reston Hyatt this morning. Funny, he's much more relaxed and lifelike in person than we would have expected.

  1. A conservative, a moderate, and a liberal walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hi, Mitt."

  2. I think I saw him riding door to door on a bicycle the other day, trying to convert the benighted heathens who live near Lake Anne.

  3. I think he could be better than Obama, who has over-promised and under-delivered..

  4. No thanks to a repub-controlled Congress that has taken the approach of no cooperation even for the good of the country...

  5. Congress "repub-controlled"? Nonsense, typical lib spin that thinks Reid and his Senate Dem Gang are pure as the driven snow!

  6. Typical conservative rhetorical tactics. Get hit, change the argument angle. You neglected to mention the House of Representatives. Power of the purse, baby. Power of the purse.

  7. Somewhere in the GOP there is an evil genius. He has pushed all the wing-nuts in the party to run for the nomination. When Mitt finally gets it we will all be so relieved, we will forget he is a Mormon.

  8. The “power of the purse” is a shared responsibility of both the House and Senate to deal with revenue AND spending, notwithstanding the House’s specific constitutional mandate regarding tax increases. Rational citizens can not blame Republicans for the Dem Senate not even passing a budget in over three years, or failing to initiate any spending cut bills that would ease the nation’s exploding debt.
