What’s the difference between mittromney and a statue of mitt Romney?

The statue can’t change its position

So THAT’S how you pronounce “Besen!” (Assuming she got it right.) *chuckle* You da man, Wayne.

I am in PR and media relations, so here’s my free input on your appearance.

The overall appearance was effective. You are a clear, well-spoken advocate. However, your appearance could have been improved as follows:

- No green shirts or similar brightly colored shirts or jackets on TV. Black suit or jacket and white shirt. Non-flashy blue might be acceptable.

- No shiny or distracting ties. Simple color, no pattern is better

- You must get a different set of glasses for TV. The shape of those lenses does not complement your face and there is an odd black shadow or protrusion where the lens meets the handles.

- You have wonderful hair, but it is styled here in a way that makes it look like a toupee. This in turn subtly and needlessly undermines a trustworthy appearance.

These may seem superficial, but they matter. Remember the 1960 Nixon-JFK debates. Be more JFK and less RMN.

Anyway, on substance it was A+.

Dear Wayne and Rachel;
Since I have been a Lesbian (absolutely recalling feelings for my Kindergarten teacher) all of my life AND being sexualy molested by a great-uncle as a young child, I really do not agree with the idea of “going straight” at any time in my life.Just having celebrated my 77th birthday I think it is testimony that true Lesbianism is not something that can be “cured”!!! Yes, I dated men during and after my high school years but did not feel satisfied in any way by male heterosexual attention. If there would be a way to change my orientation . . . IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED BY NOW! Nuf said

How sad that making money by fraud is illegal, EXCEPT when it is hidden behind religion.

Wayne, thanks to you and your staff at TWO, the scheming fraudsters are being exposed at every turn. Right now they are running out of places to hide.

Keep up the great work!

Jerry

I was channel surfing last night when I caught Wayne on Maddow. I see you’re wearing glasses now Wayne. Welcome to the (middle aged) club. :O

As a Massachusetts resident, I can honestly say your appraisal of Romney is spot on. He’s a brazen opportunist, and will say or do just about anything to get elected.

Wayne, keep up the good work. No surprise that mitt supports these misguided charities. Best, Steve.

Of course, Romney doesn’t return her calls. As a matter of fact, those running for office who oppose gay equality, tend to hate being asked hard questions and they’d rather not have to deal with it. Look at Bachman’s behavior when she feels she’s in no b******t arena.
She gets all defensive like she’s being wrongfully bullied.
The others just use bumper sticker slogans and don’t want to elaborate.

Or they’ll just use a token gay as a sign they are gay friendly, but will support anti gay policies.
Mitt Romney’s gay campaign manager and Christie’s appointment of a gay NJ Supreme court justice are but a few of such cynical ploys to gain confidence from gay voters.

Sure, they think of you as politically necessary when they want a higher office. But when it comes to issues of QUALITY OF LIFE for gay citizens, they call for a popular vote on gay lives.

That’s about the worst kind of betrayal. So two faced.
