At least Romney is proving he's not a robot. Right? -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:09 3
- I'm picturing him drumming up some redemption story now a la GWB. Something for the evangelicals to relate to. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 10:13
- No doesn't prove anything. Remember, he had an auto accident in France when he was 19-20 - amoxy May 11, 10:12 1
  - hence why his memory of times before that is incomplete. - znufrii May 11, 10:13
So, are you guys getting this? When I start googling Romney, I get two autocompletes: - con_carne May 11, 10:06 2

  - The more I read about Bain the more I'm surprised he's running... - Mel Profit May 11, 10:11

        I can't remember the names of at least three guys I was in fistfights with in school. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:12 2
        
        I remember the name of the kid I had my two fights with in elementary school. I remember the details. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:16 1

    - I remember every fight I've been in. - Mel Profit May 11, 09:54
- Hey, he did that to LOTS of people. You can't expect him to remember each specific time he did it. - TWuG May 11, 09:45
- Exactly. The only way he wouldn't remember it is if he was so emotionally detached and ho-hum about it that he'd practically be a sociopath. -- nm - mara May 11, 09:44

  - This is kind of how I feel. The U.S. gives him the education and opportunity to be a rich man and he goes and runs off to another country. - Krusty May 11, 09:43 4
    - He wasn't born here - I don't see anything wrong with it. - Epiphany May 11, 09:55 2
      - He is giving up his US *citizenship* so it is his country. "I got mine! So long, suckers!" -- nm - TWuG May 11, 10:20
