There's a platform I could get behind!

If I was eligible to vote in the US presidenial election.

I'd say we need to include *Parody on this one as well.

I'd totally vote for this guy. I'd love a candidate who was open about changing his opinions over time, and open to supporting policies he didn't necessarily agree with IF he believed that's what people wanted.

Unfortunately, even if Mitt was that guy, he would never be able to say it in a way like this. Too bad.

Yeah, in a strange way, it's almost as though he comes off appearing more honest and more genuine in this parody of his views than he does in the actual ads and speeches that he gives... I suppose double-speak has that as a feature of its meaning...

Yep, you know something's wrong when parody is more truthful/trustworthy than "serious" representations (See also Colbert/Stewart vs American Media).
