Romney asked his opinion of Twitter. He paused, listened and replied, I can't hear the birds tweeting. Can this guy be for real, like Bush and supermarkett scanner

Now that cultural anthropologist Romney seems to be on a roll, opining about the cultural drivers of business success, how long before he starts to lecture other Americans to focus less on "bling, bling" and more on
"ka-ching, ka-ching"?!

The argument is not that not supporting Obama makes you a racist. It's a combination of pointing out that some racists who oppose him use racist arguments against him, and that some more sophisticated opponents, whether racist or not, use subtle appeals to racism in their arguments.

As to Romney, you may be right that he'd be a better Pres than Obama, but I think you have to admit that it's something of a shot in the dark given that his positions change so much. Right now, for example, he is emphasizing that he is not opposed to abortion in cases of rape, incest, or the mother's health being in danger, whereas a few months ago he was saying that he would sign legislation that personhood begins at conception, which would make abortion illegal in all those cases. Rather than list the other flips, it would be shorter to list the policies on which he has been consistent: .

Okay, that empty list was a joke (I think). But most of the "lame" arguments on DCUM are more joke than argument. I think that's hard to avoid, because so little is known about what he would actually do as Pres.


Oh, don't argue with this guy. He does this every week or so. He posts saying he's an Obama supporter, he's not voting for him this year, and then says something wingnutty that is clearly not coming from a disillusioned Democrat. It's his personal disinformation campaign and it's childish.


It's really just the summer interns in the RNC flack department posting again.

The point of this app is not to spread the word about the veep. As you all pointed out, Twitter could do that. The point of the app is to gather info about users. It's a spy app.

Obama did this with text messaging


That would make sense in 2008. Twitter was barely off the ground then.

Pretty sure Mitt and company aren't big Twitter fans after this week.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57483620/romney-to-announce-vp-pick-by-smartphone-app/

OK so in a feeble attempt to show that he is "hip" to new media, Romney now wants his supporters to download an app so that they can know his VP pick the moment that it happens. Just about as awkward as the day your parents joined Facebook and you reluctantly friended them.

Mittens, there is a thing to use in situations like this. It's called Twitter, and even your horse knows how to use it. BTW if you join, you might not want to look at #Romneyshambles.
