Romney dyes his face for Univision performance

So Huffington Post accuses Romney of dying his face? (most likely tanning, but hey, dying makes it sound worse).

This is such a non-issue.

Agreed. I just look at any public speaking event that is televised and the person speaking will have a noticeable difference in color between their face and their hands. lol

Just watch any news broadcast.
 
i don't really see it. different lighting makes the skin appear different tones. might it be true? sure, who knows. probably not, though.

either way, my problem with him is that he's a hawkish trickle downer, and i don't believe that's the best path forward for our country. fake / real tans don't fix the economy from the bottom up, and neither does doubling down on supply side.

That's apparent... from your line of attacks against Romney... and the multitude of diversionary topics from the current status of the economy and the president's fiscal record... in fact, his entire record as president over the last 3.5 years... Which has changed from "Yes We Can", "Hope", and "Change", to "Well, We Haven't Yet" and "We Hope It Changes"...

Now... if you had said Mitt Romney came out like a Mexican Wrestler, you might have had something... but this is a non-story...

None of this changes the facts, that;

- the national debt has risen to $16T (nearly 105% of our GDP, only the second time it's ever been over 100%, and the only time without a declared war), $5.4T so far under this president... who has been running a persistent $1.2T debt, spending 60% over budget, resulting in the only credit rating downgrade in US history...

- Unemployment has been over 8% for 43 months, since Obama said it wouldn't go over 8% if we gave him $800B for ARRA, and 23M Americans are unemployed/underemployed... with 40% of those filing for unemployment having been unemployed for more than 26 weeks, while the workforce participation rate has taken a steep unprecident 2.5% dive under this president...

- Fuel prices are through the roof, with national average of gasoline prices at $3.84/gal, and it expected to be the most expensive winter to heat your home ever, with the average home expected to pay about $1800 just for winter heating prices...


I don't care what color the president is... I just want one that's gonna get the job done...

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah he lost the election so save your breath. We will all have fond memories of the 2012 election, Mittens the painted Hispanic caught talkin **** on Candid Camera, lol. Obama the "its either me or a Republican - ha ha ha you have no choice" 8 years of stagflation.

He lost the election? Oh jeez... I'll have to update my caldendar... I thought it was only September... and prior to any of the debates occuring... hmm, missed Halloween... oh well, here comes Turkey Day... :roll:
 
First, EVERYONE on Univision gets made up like that. It's obvious not many of you have ever watched Univision. They make everyone up like clowns, and the lighting is, well watch it and see for yourself.

Amazing thread, illustrates quite clearly who the partisan nutjobs are.

I guess you're right, if Obama gets caught with a hooker and shows up drunk to the debates Romney could pull out a squeaker. :lol:

Yes. Watch it on a television. I can play with color vaules in a photo too. People and things look different when photographed as opposed to viewed on a TV screen.

It's such a lame non-issue, I really can't believe you're a part of this thor. Are the Obamites really this desparate?
 
This is so funny watching people desperately cling to anything they can. Now the video has been manipulated, color values adjusted, the whole thing is an RGB conspiracy... I bet Adobe is behind this, liberals I betcha!
 
ICMA-
You are incorrect on declared war. What declared war was Reagan Commander in Chief?

One could say that both Reagan and BushII ran up huge bills during a time of ponzi prosperity, financing Dawn in America with hot checks. That was a first I believe, Republican check kiting of approx 11.5 TRILLION that now President Obama is dealing with during a huge economic downturn- the biggest since the last time 'conservatives' thought the invisible hand would do more than jerk us off before pushing us over the cliff.

(In many ways the 'conservative' message reminds me of a bunch of thugs trashing the neighborhood, and then saying they need to be incharge)

GND- I have noticed the shine removed from faces- some 'lame stream media' types. Just curious Team Willard thinks copying those they heap scorn is a good thang! Seems a bit vain and more than a tad dodgy.

It is funny, looks like his handlers are pulling out all the image stops trying to make him more like 'one of us'. It includes appearances on talk shows with his wife. It isn't as if Willard is new to being infront of cameras, just seems like suddenly he needs to look less like his real self. Imagine if President Obama had gotten his skin lightened for the debates would 'conservatives' just shrug and say everyone does it?

There appears to be a few folks in here who don't own dictionaries-

Tanning is what happens to me as I spend hours out working under the hot Oklahoma sun. My skin's natural reaction'

Dying is what a spray tan does. It changes the skin's appearance with a semi-permanent dye, it is more like painting.

Willard dyed his skin.

Now about people using accents when speaking... not just politicians attempt accents, damn near everyone I know tries to speak in different accents and dialects- most not very well. One thing for a privileged Yankee to say, "Howdy Ya'll!" another for him to spray paint himself before appearing before predominately UnWASPish groups.

Is Politico an "Obamite" organization?

But to answer your question, I don't think Obamites are "paint your face" desperate yet. :lol:

Yeah, I see they are that desparate. Last time it was 'Palin was pretending her daughter's baby was her own', the whole fake pregnancy nonsense. This time the desparate portion of the Obama super worship luck fan club, trots out crap like this.

Anything to avoid the ****ty job Obama has done as president thus far. Make the other fellow look bad enough and Obama won't have to run on his record. Because if he had to run on his record, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

He averted a full blown depression. I have a job and I make more money than I did four years ago. I was personally responsible.

Right... because there's nothing else that could change the 2-3 pt lead... No debates, no october job numbers, no escalation of anti-US sentiment, no presidential mis-steps... nothing...

Then again, when the president has been as awful as he has been, and there's $16T in debt, 43 straight months of unemployment over 8%, and gasoline prices well over $3.50/gal for most of the last 2 years... and people still support him... they'd still likely support him even if he was caught in a scandal...

However, since the liberal media only seems caught up with every step Romney makes, and excuses Obama for failing to adequately provide security for US embassies on the anniversary of 9/11 in hostile areas for 2 successive years in a row... That his AG cost us lives... That his administration let campaign donors take their money out of Solyndra before it went under leaving the taxpayers with the whole tab... etc. tt'd be real tough to see what they'd consider as a scandal...
 
Well, finally an ISSUE Democrats raise that isn't a diversion from real issues. :roll:

Ah... factless responses are often the best ones... they just help fulfill the image of the true Obama supporter...

Neither Reagan nor Bush raised the Debt to GDP ratio over 100%... so your whole point is moot...

That only happened 1 time prior in US history... and it wasn't the Great Depression... during the Great Depression, the Debt to GDP ratio only rose from like 10-30% of GDP...

It was when we were attacked in Pearl Harbor, then were suddenly thrust into a two front war across two oceans... that the massive mobilization of the war effort brought the US debt over 100% of GDP...

One could actually make the argument, that was more similar to when GWB responded to the 9/11 attacks with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq... and yet, Bush still didn't raise the debt to over 100% of the GDP... He raised it from like 55% to 75%...

Obama raised it from 75% to 105%... in a time of relative peace... which is unheard of...

Yes, there were large spending increases in the Reagan and Bush administrations (with Democratically controlled Congresses)...

However you trying to say that Republicans brought the debt to $11T makes no sense as a reason that Obama is justified in then bringing it to $16T... Reagan and Bush had 2 terms each... even if they were both solely responsible for the $10.2-$10.6T that was there prior to Obama taking over... that $10T would've been acrued over 16 years (and both Reagan and Bush presided over 2 recessions, and Reagan an additional stock market crash... you might also remember this small conflict called "The Cold War" that Reagan dealt with as well)... Obama acrued $5.4T so far in 3.5yrs... the economy was only in recession for 5 months of Obama being president...

Move along... That's not the droid you're looking for...
 
I'm wondering, how many of you actually think about where all the debt comes from. 1.5 trillion comes from medical and social security (old people), .7 trillion is from defense. So old people and defense accounts for 62%. These are the sacred cows of conservatives, this is your base that most of the money is spent on. Welfare is about 70 billion a year which encompasses more conservatives than liberals anyway as you outnumber the other 2:1.

What the **** are you crying about again?
 
ICMA-
you speak of factless when you seem to miss them by the bushel basket. What declared war was Reagan President for?

Why run up 11 TRILLION in federal debt when times are good? how can you compare spending Trillions we don't have to finance a ponzi prosperity scheme knowing full well someone, someday will have to foot that bill to try and cleanup the mess the free market left behind... lets not mention a good portion of that deficit comes from lost revenue, not free wheeling spending.

Many experts give the total defense spending as over 1.2 Trillion, as many other agencies have defense spending built into their budgets, like NASA, and large continuing expenditures like the VA are put in a separate category.

Back on topic-

Willard didn't tan, he painted...
