And... everyone else who isn't an American cis-gendered, white, fundamentalist Christian male.) (I know Romney's a Mormon. The argument still stands.)

Ah, yes. The Mittbot. Bless him. He finds it so hard to relate to real people, it's like that awkward uncle everyone has. My only consolation is that the President will destroy him in the debates.

There was something about liking trees, wasn't there? *shakes head*

I'm looking forward to that too. Your politics is like a fandom, almost... Except scarier.

Liking trees because they're the right tree height! That was about Michigan. Everyone knows the reason to love Michigan is because of how the people so carefully tend to tree height.

[elisi]

It's a whole new level of awkward and weird...

Because I live in the south feel as if I should defend grits as not inherently evil, but I'm actually from New Jersey and I've tasted them.

[elisi]

I don't think they're evil... They're just one of those weird all-American things that (like the Master) I didn't know what actually was.

[appomattoxco.livejournal.com]

Porage made of ground hominy- sort of bleached corn. It's sticky lumpy paste that "real" southerns eat with butter and salt. I'm pretty sure it is proof of evilness. [Not that you need it in Mitt's case.]

[elisi]

So it's like porridge, basically? But savoury. I'll take your word for it that it's evil. :)

[promethia_tenk]

Nothing evil here, just cornmeal. Soft, porridge-y polenta, but white instead of yellow.

[elisi]

It seems popular...

I like grits, though I don't think I get any sort of claims of authenticity to them. I was born south of the Mason-Dixon line. Maybe I can squeak by on a technicality : P

There's a bit in Dollhouse where an (accidentally high) Adelle and Topher talk about brown sauce ("What's it made of? Science doesn't know!" "It's made of brown.") which is probably the American response to puzzlement over grits *grins* Couldn't find a clip of it, though. Woe.

Rick Santorum was my senator for a good chunk of my life. Meditate on that sometime when you want some nightmares.

By those rules my eldest is a genuine East Ender! :)

"What's it made of? Science doesn't know!" "It's made of brown."
As far as I know, that's correct.

Oh everyone's got something weird. And we've not even touched on Marmite, which might be ACTUALLY evil...

... No really, I have no response to that apart from abject horror.

[promethia_tenk]

As far as I know, that's correct.
Well, Adelle is British, and she says it with that air of an obvious revelation that one has just never thought of before, so I took it as truth *g*

I took great pleasure in finally voting him out.

I'm sure everyone I know would agree with her. :)

Had I known what he would go on to become, I might have tried to retain him for the good of the country . . .

[elisi]

That's very noble of you.

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

I actually like grits, though I don't eat them often. Especially the cheesy kind. Mmm.

I'm finding Mitt to be the scariest of the current GOP contenders though-- he doesn't seem to possess a single internalized belief as far as I can tell. It's all up for grabs depending on who he's talking to at the moment. I'll take honest disagreement any time.

Now off to fix breakfast; I wonder if I have any grits? Darn you, now I'm wanting grits!

[elisi]

I'll take honest disagreement any time.
M-hm. Plus, apparently he's half-robot...

And I hope you enjoyed your grits! :)

I heard this quote on the radio yesterday and laughed and laughed. Dear Mitt, if you didn't go around saying things like this that sound so awkward and insincere, then people wouldn't be able to make fun of you for saying things like this! You have only yourself to blame.

As a born and bred Southerner, I actually LIKE grits! Though butter, salt, pepper, and cheese are necessary additions. And they have to be piping hot, because when they cool down they get kind of...gluey. But good grits are pretty darn delicious!

I'm looking forward to Obama demolishing him. :)

And a lot of people seem to like grits. I can see why Romney would want to jump on the bandwagon...

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yes, grits have to be juuuuust right. Or with cheese. CHEESE GRITS.

[mb2u]

When people who are not from the South try to sound Southern, it always makes them look stupid. Mitt is no exception.

[elisi]

But he is very good at it! ;)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

This could not possibly be more true.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Like Mitt Romney's ever had grits. He might as well have claimed to love chitlins and I'd believe that just as much. I really hate it when people patronize to us Southerners. We're not stupid, despite the way the media portrays us. We know when we're being pandered to.

Now I want cheese grits really bad.

[elisi]

I think he'd patronise anyone, in the hope of winning the nomination...

And I'm sorry?
