Mitt Romney is a Twilight fan

[darksumomo]

Mitt Romney had quite a scandalous revelation to share on this morning's Today show: He does, from time to time, and always while exercising great caution, participate in certain leisurely activities, like watching television and reading novels. Would Mother Mittens approve of this? Let's just say, doubtful.

American Idol is a delightful television

Sometimes I almost feel sorry for him, in how he gets it in the neck for his Mormonism from the religious right wing of the GOP. But then I think of that speech he gave where he promised to hate gay people and the poor just as much as the religious right does and then I don't feel sorry for him anymore.

He what?!?

....Wait, what?!

Well, of course he didn't literally say "I promise to hate them, will you vote for me now?" But it is particularly interesting that he has embraced right-wing homophobia after once having promised to be a more effective advocate for the LGBT community than Ted Kennedy (when he wanted to be the Senator from Massachusetts, of course).

I'm just really excited for that movie. I will actually buy tickets to see that scene.

That gif reminds that someone on fandomwank once said that people should put some money together to buy RPattz an alcohol gift basket after the movies are done.

Who doesn't like Stalking, sparkling controlling vampires?! Cool beans

[keeperofthekeys]

Gross.

[sitakhet]

Of course a Republican would like it. It's got men controlling women, it's pretty much all whitebread white people except for that noble savage dude, a huge abstinence AND anti-abortion message and it's basically a mormon romance novel.

Republicans would LOVE for us to live in Twilight.

[dreammeanyway]

I doubt Republicans are the only group who read Twilight.

It romanticizes stalking. It's anti-sex. It promotes traditional gender roles in a big way. It's indistinguishable from their message, except with vampires pasted on.

my sparkle is pastede on yay!
