MESA, Ariz. (AP) —Once bitter rivals for the presidency, Mitt Romney and John McCain campaigned together as friends on Friday, one gearing up for a likely presidential bid and the other fighting to hold onto his seat in the U.S. Senate.

The two Republicans fielded questions from a largely supportive audience of several hundred people, touching on issues including immigration and the environment while heaping criticism on President Barack Obama.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, battled with McCain in 2008 for the Republican nomination for president, then aggressively campaigned for McCain in the general election. He has endorsed the Arizona senator in his current re-election bid.

Romney said McCain's clout after 28 years in Congress is important in fighting the Obama administration.

"He's a Washington heavyweight," Romney said of McCain. "He knows how to push back against the Obama machine."

(snip)

McCain opened the town hall meeting with a nod to their "spirited campaign," but suggested Romney was gracious in defeat.

"After that primary was completed, there was no one person who worked harder on behalf of our ticket and the things that we believe in than Mitt Romney," McCain said.

"This is an administration that is governing from the far left, and America is a right of center nation," McCain said before ticking off various Obama policies he opposes, including bailouts of the auto industry and health care reform.

How would you know where right of center is McAmnesty? Romney, McAmnesty and Palin. What a trio.

"My Team of vicious RomneyBOTs destroyed this fool and that B%tch Palin.
And curse her children, too --- because it is MY turn now."

"Those stupid, worthless people from Massachusetts now are now STUCK with gay marriage,
Romney CARE and my coverup of the BIG-DIG.
Check out this picture of me imposing it on the stupid losers.”

I'm sorry to hear that...Well, I've heard that crackers help out with nausea (the feeling that you want to hurl your guts out) After you hurl, try clear fluids--water, broth, jello, that sort of thing. Save these instructions, I believe that you will need them...

Therapy will not be needed. RomneyCARE outed RomneyCARE.





Mitt RomneyCARE (D, RINO): "I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Backstabber Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)



"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan





Mitt RomneyCARE (D, RINO): ”I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform.
"
(Video, accessed 9/19/07)



"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan

Lolrotf.....I am just hoping Palins just playing the politic moves one makes....but really I have reservations that she will run....and I don’t want another candidate I’ll have to hold my nose and vote for. I think we’ll see some others come into view along the way here as well...it is sure going to be an interesting race I believe.

PS...Keeping instructions on the shelf just in case...

Hey, the Freeper who did the picture of McCain as the prince and Graham as Snow White needs to do one with Romney as Snow White. Lindsay will be angry when he finds out John has a new love.
