The Mitt Mirage
http://www.time.com/ ^ | September 13, 2012 | Joe Klein

Posted on 09/13/2012 6:21:57 AM PDT by Biggirl

I first met Mitt Romney in 2005. I was very impressed. I described him in this magazine as "informal, conversational, enthusiastic and speedy." Mitt Romney? Yes, indeed. But then, we were talking about something he really believed in, or seemed to: his universal health care plan for Massachusetts, which included an individual mandate--an idea I'd admired since it was proposed by Stuart Butler of the Heritage Foundation in 1989.

Interesting how these leftwingtard slugs like Joe Klein love to jump on top of these risky, and stupid fascistic schemes like 'the individual mandate' and ride them like some sort of lifetime surfboard!

Fur shur I'd be more likely to take personal financial advice from Benito Mussolini than to accept Joe's political recommendations ~

Klein. Why does that sound familiar?

Wasn’t he involved in a scandal involving an incorrect story about George Bush?

Consider the source - “Slime”

In a nutshell this could have been written by Carl Rove about Romney - that the conservatives and Tea Party need not be listened to and all will be well in GOP land.

And we all know that Commie Joe Klein has long been an admirer of the Heritage Foundation...

Does he actually think that people will be fooled by his fake morality play?

There are good Kleins and there are bad Kleins. Joe is one of the bad ones.

Joshua and Aaron Klein are a couple of the good ones. Check out this YouTube video from the DNC Convention:

Democracy Now! shuts down Aaron Klein interview over Soros

Aaron Klein is a much better author than silly sycophant Joe Klein. Aaron has a book called "Fool Me Twice" about the plans for Obama's second term.

not even a pretense of merrit.

Time is the definition of a zombie magazine.

They are a dead business, someone just forgot to bury the body.
