2012: Romney quickly responded to an “angry mom” who called the president a “monster” that he wouldn’t use that term.
2008: McCain yank the mic away from an older woman, after she called him “an Arab” that she “couldn’t trust.” - McCain: “He is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States. If I didn’t think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldn’t be running.”
He should have said, I wouldn’t use that term, I’d prefer communist. But then, we’d be splitting hairs now wouldn’t we?”
apples and oranges....Romney later told the woman she had every right to be angry...
Monster is a pretty tame word, the old lady should hear what I call Obama.
Traitor is one of the better ones.
It would be very unwise for Romney to call him a monster or seem to be doing so by agreeing.
That is the red meat the MSM is waiting for to go 24/7 with Romney not having a Presidential temperament...or worse, starting the racist drumbeat pounding. Romney doesn’t need to make any gaffs - as Obama has made huge gaffs in the past week alone. Anything by Romney that will get Obama’s own words our of the headlines and the commentaries is not helpful.
He doesn’t need to do that...because it is stupid to do it and it adds absolutely nothing of value.
Yeah, why do our guys have absolutely no balls whatsoever?!?
I really hate milktoast.
If anything this puts Jesus’ quotes about why he vomits out the lukewarm people into context. I already understood it, but this kind of stuff really crystallizes why He feels that way. Of course He is talking in a faith context, not political, but there’s values and principles behind governing philosophies and being direct and clear.
