Why Do So Many Liberals "Like" Mitt Romney On Facebook?

pigrabbitbear writes "Mother Jones reports that, 'In recent weeks, a host of liberal types have complained that their Facebook accounts have erroneously "liked" Romney's page, and some are floating the theory that the Romney campaign has deployed a virus or used other nefarious means to inflate the candidate's online stature. This conspiratorial notion has spawned a Facebook community forum, and its own page: "Hacked By Mitt Romney" (cute url: facebook.com/MittYouDidntBuildThat)' So what's going on? Is the Romney campaign engaging in some tech wizardry to hijack Americans' Facebook pages? Seems unlikely, but Romney did somehow manage to acquire millions of fake Twitter followers. But it looks like the Romney campaign isn't behind this one — Facebook and its mobile app is."

I'm pretty sure the folks just assumed they were liking a page about an android. Honest mistake, that's all.

The thing is, Romney has been on every side of every issue. So there's something to like about him for everyone!

Because Romney is a liberal.

I believe he's taking a 'wide stance' on the abortion issue.

That's the great thing about Romney as a presidential candidate: there are so many choices. I like moderate Mitt! I like severely conservative Mitt, with Spock's beard accessory! Collect them all!

If pro-choice Mitt met pro-life Mitt, would there be an antimatter explosion?

They add a Loathe button.

Lets see... most liberals have Iphones/Ipads
Most Apple users consider themselves "Internet experts" and are really clueless ...
Apple Maps ...
They click to like the local farmers market/Headshop/Union headquarters...
Apple maps has that listed as "Mit Romney!"
Viola... mystery solved.

A liberal, a conservative and a moderate walk into a bar.

The bartender says "Afternoon, Mitt! What can I get for you?"

Yeah, because we all must get along. There is always two sides to every story and both opinions .. wrong or right are valid. We also must give a gold star to anyone who at least tries.

*cough*bullshit*cough*

I'm not saying any of that shit. I'm saying that ending decades-long friendship over a political disagreement is stupid. Comparing someone with whom you disagree with Hitler or the Antichrist is stupid.

And, last but not least, I'm saying that you are stupid.
