An if it was grits were the quick or real grits? And anyone who tries to use y'all that did not grow up with it are like adults trying to use kids slang - the never get it right and shouldn't try. It is an offense to the ear. Overall Alabama guy, Bubba Dee has it right.

(17,493 posts)3. I can never understand why a politician tries to act like he is something he isn't ...
All that ever happens is that he gets ridiculed and loses votes.
To a great extent Mittens is a shape shifter. He tries to morph into a true conservative, a southerner, a westerner etc. He looks ridiculous and uncomfortable in "mom jeans". Even Fox News noticed this.
Shepard Smith: Mitt Romney Is Wearing Mom Jeans (VIDEO)
Fox News' Shepard Smith had some serious fashion advice for GOP candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday: stop wearing mom jeans.
The network's chief political correspondent Carl Cameron reported on the Michigan primary's close results from a Romney rally in Ohio. While Cameron reported on the results, Smith apologized and said he couldn't help but notice a fashion faux pas in the background of the shot.
"I'm sorry Carl, but I'm looking at [Romney] over your right shoulder there. Do you think he's aware he's wearing mom jeans? Cause he is. He's wearing mom jeans, Carl. It's 2012! Somebody ought to tell him," Smith said, sounding quite surprised. "You're not the one to tell him, I know that, but someone should."
"Well I think you just did. He's trying to lighten up. He has been for months,"

If the Republican Party doesn't wake up soon and realize this guy is a looser like Bob Dole or John McCain, Obama will absolutely cream them in the upcoming election. Mittens is a member of the 1% attempting to disguise himself as a someone who can understand the plight of the 99%. He has absolutely no comprehension of what it is like to an average citizen.
However he has the money to buy the nomination and he is willing to run vicious attack ads to destroy his opponents. He would undoubtedly win the nomination without the attack ads as he faces weak opposition but he chooses not to. I personally feel that this tactic will cause Republican voters to lack enthusiasm and they will fail to support Mittens at the voting booth.
I once felt the election totally depended on the state of the economy at election time. Now I'm beginning to believe that if Mittens is Obama's opponent, Obama will win despite the economic situation.
