PSSSSTT!!! X-Rated!! Naked Pictures of Mitt and Ann Romney!!!
Gotcha! This was just an experiment to demonstrate what Internet traffic experts are saying: Mitt Romney is sooo BOOOORRING that if “Mitt Romney” appears in a title, the surfing public will NOT click on the link.
Or to use the current vernacular among people who study this sort of thing — Mitt Romney is Traffic Poison. In another article, the author talks about the Romney reader curse.
This is something subliminal in the public consciousness. It has nothing to do with whether a person likes or dislikes Mitt Romney, or whether or not they like Obama better.
Buzzfeed conducted an expirement: They ran two almost-identical articles about the early lives — childhood and young adulthood — of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. More than 130,000 people clicked on the Obama article. Fewer than 20,000 clicked on the Romney article.
According to one theory, Mitt Romney is purposely staying under the radar. You would too if you were more bland than a warm glass of day-old Pepsi and more slippery than a street covered with wet leaves. He’s more boring than a 500-page insurance policy. He’s taken every possible position on every issue. Of course he doesn’t want you to notice him. Look away. Move along. Nothing to see here.
If you’ve ever read Stephen King’s The Talisman, Mitt Romney is a real life Morgan Sloat. Morgan Sloat was as evil, sleazy and underhanded as any of Stephen King’s villains. And part of his success came from the fact that nobody could stand looking at him. If you looked at him, you could tell by his body language, wicked facial expressions and twitches that you wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with this sleazebucket.
Morgan Sloat conned people left and right because they just sort of pretended to look at him while he was talking. If they actually caught a glimpse of his face, they quickly looked away. And they got taken.
Morgan Sloat is Mitt Romney. When you see Mitt Romney on TV or on the Internet — LOOK at him!!! Yes, it’s unpleasant, but force yourself. LOOK at that robotic face. LOOK into those soulless eyes. LOOK at that fake smile and those mechanical movements.
If you LOOK at him — and listen to his meaningless soundbites that all contradict each other — then you WON’T vote for him.

That's because people are still curious about Obama's past,the media already investigated Romney just like they will his VP and I am sure they will be very kind.
The went back 50 years on Romney and they won't even go back 15 years on Obama
I'm hoping the whole flip-flop issue comes up when Mitt and Obama debate. Romney's lack of spine is amazing.
To me watching or seeing Robme is like watching a captivating game of golf or watching paint dry. I don't do either of those things and have no need to see how he lies about every detail when he opens his mouth.
Lisa, they constantly are fuckin yammering about Obama being born you dumb bitch. Where have you been these last few years where every single event of this man's life has been put up by republicans as unAmrukan or other because he is unheartlandishly hued. Let's see his kindergarten letters, let's see his high school transcripts, his birth certificate even after he showed it to everyone. FIRST fuckin time a prez has had to do that, you useless bitch. Rest of you, exceuse mah French but this fucker is pissing me right off with her bullshit EVERY. SINGLE. TOPIC. Never has shit to say other than yammery yammery Obama is a puppykillingislamofascistsocialistsscumbag. Tom you can edit the language if you want but I am ok with you not doing that also, too you betcha.
Zzzzzzzzzz. Ooops. Did someone say Romney?
I would still say he's more exciting then McCain so I am a little concerned

Please, you ignorant bimbo, confine yourself to cooking and cleaning, and stop embarrassing your husband by posting comments. Doesn't he suffer enough already?
I hope you'll all treat Lisa with the same respect as Raw Money. When you see that zombie logo just look away.
Mitt Romney is to the Republicans in 2012 as John Kerry was to the Democrats in 2004. Romney is the GOP's albatross, and he is their cross to bear.
Republican voters have supposedly been energized by the
'tea party' yet they are stuck with a candidate who is a political moderate. I ask the wise and all-knowing Republicans, how did that happen?
I hope they have fun voting for Romney simply because he is not Obama. Millions of them will vote for Romney but it won't be because they like him. How inspirational it must be, to vote not based on a candidate's vision for the future but rather on their hatred for the other guy.
That's basically how it was for me in 2004, and for millions of other Democrats. And now to the Republicans, I happily say "Your turn!" 8-)
JR -don't you ever get tired of your nasty comments
Rush Limbaugh said we should discover a new planet named Stupider and Pelosi should be it's Mayor,hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be a contrarian here. I don't think Romney looks like a sleaze or the least bit intimidating. Appearancewise, he and his wife look like the country club set personified.
The trouble starts when Romney opens his mouth. On the odd occasion when he's not lying, twisting, distorting and reversing what he said five years, five months or five days ago, he's dodging, weaving and answering the questions he wanted to be asked, as opposed to the ones that were asked. He apparently won't do interviews except on Faux. That's about as lame and cowardly as it gets.
