Mitt speaking on Batman tragedy now, Mormon Church will be baptizing the dead later...

[TeamPooka]

He's trying to sound like a soulful leader. But he's not saying anything.

[flamingdem]

1. Very robotic delivery

bleech

[TeamPooka]

4. seriously he is reading the words

but there is no emotion.
I wonder who wrote his speech.
They are trying for that Reagan reach out and touch the hand of god vibe but failed.

[malaise]

2. Pathetic

[Shankapotomus]

3. Retroactively, of course! (nt)

[Poll_Blind]

5. I saw that just now. To call it "hollow-sounding and trite" would be generous. nt

6. Was weird that he said the tragedy was the loss of young voices, etc.....

struck me that he was saying the only people to be mourned were children that were shot, not the adults...anyone else catch that from him?

[siligut]

11. He has given this speech before

So much of it sounded like what he would say to church members after a loss.

[global1]

7. And The Academy Award For The Best Performace By A Candidate In A ......

insincere performance goes to - Mitt Rmoney.

I'm sorry - but he didn't sound sincere as if he really meant any of the words someone else wrote for him to read. Plastic. Robotic. and Out of Touch.

[TeamPooka]

9. He read the words, that is the legal minimum requirement he had to do

thats the way Mitt rolls.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Who changed his tape for him?

He wasn't talking about running a business?

[TeamPooka]

23. we can reprogram him? That would be cool....

[siligut]

10. He is practiced in this sort of speech, he was a Bishop in the LDS church

He quoted the bible or BOM, Timothy I think. His speech was appropriate and pat and he has delivered it many times before.

It will be comforting, I think to the families and victims and that is what matters now.

[TeamPooka]

13. I don't think anyone can say anything to give the families comfort now.

that is why it is a senseless event.

[gregoire]

12. If I was casting someone for the part of a robot impersonating a human...

he'd be near the top of the list. His movements and speech just aren't human. Maybe we should demand a test to prove he is human since he keeps claiming Obama was born in Kenya.

[TeamPooka]

14. you need a Blade Runner for that

call Dekker.
He's good.

[nykym]

15. What no ones incensened

by the Mormon church baptizing the unfortunate victims?

[avebury]

16. They can baptize to their hearts content but it only makes it a

reality in the pea addled brains because they live in fantasy land.

[elleng]

17. They believe its a gift.

I'd let it go.

[Cali_Democrat]

18. They can take their "gift"

and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Posthumous baptizing of the dead is despicable.

[TeamPooka]

20. what do they gain from it?

i just never understood the practice and why?

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. Who cares what they do?

I had an LDS family member on one side of my family "baptize" the other side of my family by proxy based on family records. Tis a meaningless waste of time to raise more money for the "church". The deceased aren't affected by their spells.

[HeiressofBickworth]

24. As I've said before

I believe the mormon practice of baptizing the dead is nothing more than a demonstration of their institutional lack of respect for anyone who is not mormon. Does not matter whether you believe it makes any difference to the deceased, it is a slap in the face of the living. And yes, I believe their baptism committee is already combing the newspapers for the names and ages of the victims so they can run them through their process.

And I believe the Mittster read his lines quite well; reminds me of Ronald Reagan who also did a good job of reading his lines. Although RR was able to dredge up some display of emotion when he read his lines, a trick MR has not been able to achieve.

[Berlum]

19. A truly Bain-al performance by another Republican wank artiste

Ptoooey....

[TeamPooka]

22. they have raised wankerdom to an art form

auteurs all of them.
