Romney Jabs at Clintons''Family Values'

Manchester, N.H. (AP) --

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Thursday jabbed at the "family values" of Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, harkening back to former President Clinton's affair with a White House intern.

Responding to a guest at a house party in Hooksett, N.H., who asked him how he would instill "family values" as president, Romney said that if elected he would try to set an example.

"One of the ways that you help instill, if you will, family values is by having a White House be a place that demonstrates family values," Romney said. "And, you know, I think during the last Clinton presidency, the White House did not demonstrate that in a way that was helpful to our nation's character."

From the article The former Massachusetts governor said that when someone runs for high office, "you recognize you're going to be under a microscope, and at least during the time you're in the White House, you have to live by high standards because the world is looking at you."

I'd prefer a President who has high standards whether he's under a microscope or not. It's still a good Clinton smackdown.

I didn’t realize the Clintons had any family values.

Very stupid remarks by Romney.

President Bush is there now so the WH has no lack of family values.

He should have said he would work to retain those standards and left it at that.

Hildabeast wasn’t the one screwing around ( as far as we know?) and he isn’t running against Bill.

Attacking Hillary on the family values issue is a dumb move that can only anger the female voters.

I guess Hillary’s dumping of the family’s pet cat “Socks” when they left the WH (it no longer served a purpose) is a cherished family value!

By doing so he also smacks Rudy, indirectly.

Nice twofer, Mitt.

Let me know if any of these have to do with family values

Here is a little Hillary History

Hillary was no stranger to having her own White House sleepovers to raise money for her NY Senate campaign just like her husband.

Her biggest influences while in college were Saul Alinsky, Carl Oglesby and Marian Wright Edelman. All in which are radical hard-core left wing activists that she wrote her thesis on.

Hillary and her husband both loathed the military and did assign them to not wear their uniforms on the grounds of the White House as reported by Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson.

Hillary’s Democratic delegates heckled and spit on the Albany Honor Guard of the Albany Police Department at a Democratic convention calling them Nazi’s of the third Reich.

She walked out on a tip in a NY restaurant before her election and her entire family walked out again in England without even paying their entire bill in a pub.

She actively used Secret Service to block questions from the press including average NY citizens during her campaign run working to her advantage. She is doing the same thing now.

She was was the head of her husbands legal defense team during the impeachment trial. Remember the trial included abuse of power with women including sexual misconduct, threats and obstruction of justice. Including the rape of Juanita Broaddrick.

She had a rumored affair with Vince Foster which is convincing since they both had joint investments in Pharmaceutical stocks with the firm Stevens Investments. Hillary set this up right after her big health care scare failed.

Lets not also forget that the missing billing records from the Rose law firm that were in Vince Fosters office that had been subpoenaed suddenly ended up on Hillary’s night stand with her fingerprints all over the place? Lets see if that gets asked during any debates?

Hillary had a photo op and numerous meetings with a DNC campaign fund raiser Jorge Cabrara who is a convicted drug ringleader.

Now history seems to be repeating itself again with Hsu

Cattle-gate Where Hillary turned one thousand dollars into one hundred thousand dollars overnight in cattle futures, which still baffles the best minds working at Wall Street.

Travelgate Hillary was in charge of throwing out the employees of the travel office and hiring family friends and relatives inserting them in a coupd’etat fashion.

Filegate Hillary was also in charge of hiring White House staffers to sift through hundreds of FBI files illegally obtained by the White House.

How much does the average public know about this womens values?

On the family values issue the voters are going to think of Bill screwing around. Thats all they know about and attacking Hillary over that is dumb.

Romney opened himself up to being accused of attacking her for staying with Bill.

How many voters will care if she gave away that cat?

They might care more about strapping the family dog to the roof for a 12 hour drive..lol.

Well she was legal counsel for defending her husbands actions with all those women.

Robin Williams had the best quote about Bill Clinton

“See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.”

He was more busy running the other than the country and his wife defended that.

I wouldn’t pi$$ in Hillary’s ear if her head was on fire.

It is still a dumb move to attack her on the family values issue. There is nothing to gain by it and much to lose.

Hillary may not have been screwing around, but she was willing to look the other way for years to retain her position close to the seat of power. Hillary would have gained the sympathy of many women if she’d kicked him to the curb when the Lewinsky affair went public. Instead she demonstrated a lack of self respect and a willingness to live with a liar and cheat. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas......

OK, Romney should hammer her on staying with BJ. See how he makes out with that game plan.

I could really care less if he does or not because he isn’t someone I’ll be supporting.

I know what a lot of people are worried about.

Hillary has the MSM on her side and any male candidate should be careful because of what happened to Rick Lazio.

The problem is accusing someone of rape just becuase they handed you a piece of paper only works in liberal states like NY. If she wants to help someone that was really raped she should of helped Juanita Broaddrick.
