WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney has declined to call on his supporters to stop heckling President Barack Obama's campaign.

He told Fox News Radio on Tuesday that he doesn't believe in "unilateral disarmament," but said it would "be a nice thing" if both sides would stop yelling at each other during campaign events.

Proof positive that part of the Romney strategy is to get under Obama’s thin skin and provoke him into an on-camera meltdown.

what the heck is this from Romney if it isn’t asking for people to stop yelling at political events?

Like a non-denial denial. He's saying "I agree people shouldn't heckle, but that's not something I can prevent". The turd in the Oval does the same thing, but the Press wouldn't ever call him on it. Remember when that loser McCain ran, he had to issue condemnations every day for the Press. Dumbass. Played their game, not his own.

The so-called ‘Democrat party’ is the reason tensions are so high.. Their party has been hijacked by Socialists. If Democrats were true Democrats at least they’d love America to some extent. Socialists HATE our free-market, capitalist Republic and thus trigger hostilities. They are not worthy of respect or decorum; They are the enemy within and should be treated as such.

Nope... still not supporting romneys socialist arse.

I gotta admit. The GOPe knows the buttons to push to get conservatives worked up. But I just wont get worked up to defend their socialist POS.

Honestly, Ill enjoy watching some of the more idiotic dems attempt to bring down their best chance at ending organized opposition to socialism. (a socialist republican president)

Once again, the Republican base allowed the ObamaMedia to choose our candidate. McCain was their choice in 2008, and Romney in 2012. The media shut down Santorum and Gingrich and we allowed them to. This is a serious problem, difficult to overcome. I voted my conscience. I voted Gingrich. It seems most people vote for the candidate ‘most likely to beat the opponent’ WHICH IS WHICHEVER CANDIDATE THE MEDIA NARRATIVE DICTATES. We’re lambs led to the slaughter.

Santorum was out of his league but thought he could play with the big boys, and effectively kept Gingrich from advancing.

Romney is our choice, good or bad... he’s our choice. Live with it, and hold him to the fire.

So far, he’s running a strong campaign, and I like what I’m hearing. We need to beat the punk in the white house and as many libs on both sides to boot.

So much like Mc Lame, they've had to inStalin their vote counting system upon us.

Myth blows. He'll still win, unless whomever does the counting doesn't want him to.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT IF YOU DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION, SOMEHOW YOU’RE NOT PATRIOTIC, AND WE SHOULD STAND UP AND SAY, WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!

Keep on heckling. The rats deserve equal treatment.


Heckling is a good start since the days of calling someone out to a duel are no more.
Otherwise, I would settle for punching a rat in the face.

A text transcript of that quote simply doesn’t do it justice...

However, the funniest thing I heard with regard to that quote was when someone overplayed the “Mars Attacks” “Ack ack ack” speech along with it.

My question is how can we win when the entire MSM is campaigning as hard as they can for Odumbo?

Goes to show how much we'd win by a landslide if we actually had journalists reporting news instead of campaigning.

Funny that Obama is paying for hecklers at Romney’s spots - with our tax dollars.
