A new site called spreadingromney.com is taking Dan Savage’s approach to Rick Santorum by redefining Romney’s name.
Now, “to Romney” apparently means to “defecate in terror,” as Romney’s dog Seamus did in 1983, when the ex-gov kept it in a kennel on top of the car for a 12-hour family trip from Boston to Ontario.
As in:
*When I saw on Twitter that Whitney Houston was dead, I almost Romney’d on the sidewalk.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
*I sneaked my pet squirrel, Nutsy, into Six Flags and took it on the Scrambler. Needless to say, Nutsy Romney’d all over the bag I was keeping her in.
*If you ever fuck with my boyfriend again, I am going to show up in a murderous clown outfit at your apartment in the middle of the night and make you Romney out all of last night’s Santorum.

Ah liberals, always the kuh-lahzzy bunch.

Eh. Not as funny as frothy’s thing.

First glitter-bombing and now juvenile name redefinition. Because we gay people are so, you know, adult about things.
Lordy.

@JayKay: Touche, JK. Touche. I believe the British term for people like this is “wankers.”

Mittens needs all the negative attention he can get, regardless of the method. I think its hilarious.

Santorum earned his name’s new definition by openly and aggressively attacking homosexuals. The definition was chosen in a vote by Savage Love readers. Romney is a pompous ass, but nowhere in the league of Santorum. And, the definition chosen for Romney is really, really lame.

Lay off Romney until after the Republican convention – he would be a disaster for the country (and for gay rights if he means what he is currently saying, which is anybodies guess), but unlike Newt or Santorum, he wouldn’t be an unmitigated disaster. Even disasters have levels.

Mitt Romney is just a vaporous, soulless corporate lackey whose only convictions is the belief that he should be president and would flip to any position to appease the bigots in the GOP base to achieve this. But alas, he is certainly no Rick Santorum.

Romney kept his dog on top of a car for 8 hours?!
Not only would that be illegal here in the UK but it would make the man utterly unelectable.
Being cruel to dogs in a UK election is like saying you don’t believe in god in a US election.

@Tea & A: Would you rather we paint crosshairs on his photo’s and hope a loon try’s to take him out ?

@doug105:
If you’re one of those who believes that Palin (or whomever) did the crosshairs thing in hopes of a mentally unstable nut showing up at a congresswoman’s gathering to mow people down with a gun, then you’re beyond paranoid—you’re an absolute sycophant who believes anything spouted by the far left.
(and for future purposes, I’ll gladly educate you that the word “photos” does not require an apostrophe, as you added, and the word is “tries,” not “try’s.” So much for liberals believing they’re intellectually superior.)

We don’t have to just believe it.

@Tea & A: Most Ivy League professionals are liberals. That tell you anything?
Tea & A
@Shannon1981: Yes, it does. It tells me that liberals are self-important AND self-righteous AND annoying (ever meet a college professor who wasn’t?).
Thanks for affirming my position that liberals believe they’re intellectually superior . . . but, like religion, that’s all it is: a belief, not a fact.

@Tea & A:
I don’t presume every conservative shares your prejudiced and bigoted views about everyone who holds a different political ideology. Do you imagine it makes you sound classy and intelligent when you lump all liberals together so you can dismiss them as stupid and pretentious?
And for the record, I’ve met many college professors (from all points on the political spectrum) who were humble, inquisitive and charming.
Evidently, your education was profoundly lacking.
