His position is evolving.











Can we get a mulligan on the primaries?

In fact, lets just get 2 new candidates and replace all seats in DC. Go for a full flush

Telegraph: "It's worth noting that Romney has a habit of throw away lines that suggest a barbed sense of humour that no one else quite gets."


The media takes jokes out of context. Romney is quoted as saying he "lives for jokes".

A lot of people don't think this is funny. I think it's hilarious.

The main reason airplane windows don't open is because there isn't enough oxygen at cruising altitude to keep passengers alive.


That and the explosive decompression issue

It really sucks
