Brownback creates a new word
The ongoing war between presidential candidates Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) has been particularly ruthless, but entertaining nonetheless. And the latest shot does not disappoint.
The Brownback camp today took a pungent jab at the former Massachusetts governor by proposing an addition to the Webster’s Dictionary:
MITT-AMORPHASIS
Phonetic:
Mitt-a-mor-pha-sis
Definition:
1. (v) A self-directed and self-contradictory cyclical process, occurring in even-numbered years, by which a Massachusetts politician transforms at will.
2. (v) The evolutionary process by which a member of the species homosapiens becomes a dolphin.
3. (v) The synchronized revolution at any given point in time consistent with the changing political winds
Usage:
1. Franz Kafka clearly understood the dangers of mitt-amorphasis.
2. John Kerry personified mitt-amorphasis, and others have taken it to new levels
3. The mitt-amorphasizing agent caused the politician to grow gills and flippers.
Synonyms:
flip-flopper, opportunist, chameleon, unelectable, John Kerry
Antonyms:
consistent, principled
[...] comes from Sam Brownback: [...]
I thought Brownback didn’t believe in evolution?
Use your spell checker.
In the header you spell it with “..phosis”
in the text you spell it “…phasis”
and in the pronunciation guide also with an “a” sound.
Let’s get it straight:
Are you mittamorphizing or mittamorphosizing between “a” & “o”, as in “flap” & “flop”? (alt: “phlap” or “phlop”).

I’m not a Mitt fan but this isn’t even slightly funny. Plus whats the John Kerry obsession about, he’s not even relevant right now.
Furthermore a man who might as well be a baptist minister has no solid argument trying to point out the inconsistancies of someone else. I mean the new testament and therefore christianity is about as reliable and consistant as a schizophrenic off thier meds and behind the wheel of a launched rocket. Thank You
Speaking of transformation, hasn’t Brownback changed his religion 3 times – mainline protestant, to evangelical, to catholic?
Not saying that’s bad just somewhat odd that a guy who changes his religious affiliation as frequently as Madonna would go after a guy who changes his mind.
The single best thing about this coming from the Brownback campaign is that all three definitions claim to be definitions of verbs.
This is absolutely hysterical. Romney is going down, good for Brownback.
Absolutely hysterical?
It might be on point, but absolutely hysterical it is not.
I cannot imagine even giving it a “mmm, that’s kind of humorous” chuckle.
No matter how you flip it, Mitt Romney has never stand on one side of the issue for any extended period of time. Brownback is our best choice in 08. He doesn’t flip nor flop and he has held strong to conservative values. Vote Brownback

Yeah, the point about Romney is a fair one, but it doesn’t say much about the Brownback campaign that they can’t tell the difference between nouns and verbs.
I particularly like the videos of old massachusetts govenor debates where romney thoroughly details his pro-abortion views. No no no he didn’t just change his mind for current political expediency… of course not.
Oh and buying votes at the iowa straw poll is another principled winning move… although all the candidates are guilty of that except for one.
At least it’s an entertaining election cycle… kind of like watching a freight train plow into a school bus full of mimes.
It’s about time someone stood up to Flip-Flop Mitt. The man is absolutely nothing more than an opportunist relying on his money and charisma to keep him in the election. I can only hope that Republicans have the sense to nominate an actual conservative like Sam Brownback. It’s nice to see that Brownback is doing so well in the Iowa straw polls.

Romney will be nominated, though. Mitt-amorphosis works!
Bush started out a dangerous asshole … he has been consistent. Mitt is another extremely dangerous “candidate” and would buckle to the first problem he had and a quick solution … that or over react and then claim “Well, Georgie Bush did it too” just like the Repugthugs have been trying to spin about Clinton. Clinton in my view was up for the job, even with 10,000 neo-convict monkeys on his back. This country has suffered under the criminality of the Republican crime syndicate and they represent morality … just ask them.
It doesn’t matter anyway, there’s no chance this year that a Republican will even be elected president, much less a couple of evangelical conservatives like Brownback or Romney. Democrats have got this one locked up, Hillary’s coming, oohgah, boohgah!!!
Bush and Cheney have soured the electorate on voting for a Republicanso much that we may have Democratic Majorities in Congress, and the Presidency for at least the next 3 terms, and 6 election cycles. Suck it up Florida, now you get to reap what you have sown.
Well, I think it deserves at least a chuckle, nouns and verbs aside. A little pithy humor to show the weakness of your opponent, and I mean weakness, does an election good. Romney is simply too much the politician (read liar). We don’t need any more of them. I’ll take a principled leader anyday. Brownback is principled.
How can a man who claims to be a devout Mormon ever say that he is pro-abortion? Their entire religion is based on the Eternal Family? The fact that he EVER said anything about being pro-abortion makes him suspect to start with; the fact that he flopped back afterward merely reinforces not only his untrustworthiness but the influence his religion will have over him (eventually) to make him fit a public persona.
Brownbeck is a opportunistic socialist and obviously not a linguist. Anything for the sheeple, eh, Brownbeck? Bored now.
