Mitt Romney out of control
The Washington Post ^ | January 4, 2012 | Dana Milbank

MANCHESTER, N.H. — If this is Mitt Romney’s idea of a victory rally, one shudders to think what would have happened if he had lost the Iowa caucuses.

The day after his impossibly thin eight-vote victory, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination flew here for a town hall meeting at Manchester Central High School, where he was to bask in the endorsement of his 2008 arch rival, John McCain.

But the senator grimaced when he was introduced, and as Romney delivered his own stump speech, an increasingly impatient McCain pulled up his sleeve and checked his watch. McCain gave his endorsement address without mentioning Romney’s Iowa win until the end. “By the way, we forgot to congratulate him on his landslide victory last night,” he said, laughing. Romney ignored him.

Then came the questions: First, one from an Occupy Wall Street infiltrator needling the candidate about his belief that “corporations are people.” A second questioner wanted to know why Romney flip-flopped on universal health care when he was governor of Massachusetts and why he would not increase health-care costs.....

Thank you Captain Obvious (the author). Mitt has been out of control a long time.

McCain was growing impatient because his Depends needed to be changed.

Yeah, but we don't deserve them.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

It sounds like McCain was not enthusiastic with his endorsement. So, why endorse him?

Expect to see McCain’s fellow RINO puke Lindsey Graham endorsing Romney next.

From this report, it really sounds like the Rove types contacted McLame last night and told him to do this pronto for some reason. I am sure he owes them plenty. This just shows how out of touch the inside the beltway crowd is. Who in their right mind would think this endorsement would add up to anything more than an embarrassment.

[ Mitt Romney out of control ]

Could be BUT his handlers are seriously in control..
They control academia, hollywood, Washington D.C., most all media, and probably the voting machines..

I would say they are in control..
Cloward-Piven is almost never heard in print or video..
Top down, bottom up, and inside out is happening..
Rules for Radicals(Alinsky) “IS” the rule..

To all: You don’t have to like Mitt Romney to hate Dana Milbank. This article is a filth rag from beginning to end and just a good example of what will be done to whoever is the eventual GOP nominee.

“So, why endorse him?”

Exactly. And, without reading the article, it sounds like McCain is the one out of control, not Romney.

How can you be sarcastic about the person you’re endorsing?

Obnoxious.

Because no one else wanted mclame’s endorsement.

Was anyone impressed with the endorsement? Obviously not even Mitt.

Probably because he does what the establishment tells him. Mitt probably gave him a nice bonus check too.

I’m thinking that Dana Milbank isn’t out for what is best for Republicans. Just a hunch.

Neither are 98% of the other presstitutes who write the majority of the columns we post as threads. What to do?

“What do you think of your eight-vote landslide?” the Associated Press’s Glenn Johnson asked""""""

ROFL. Romney names his bus the "Landslide Express"?????

Because he absolutely hates and despises conservatives, especially Newt and Santorum. And because mccain is a wholly owned dupe of george soros.

Just your typical RINO train wreck.

Gearing up for “McCain II”
