Romney Equates Clinton Plan With Karl Marx
The New York Sun ^ | 07/23/07 | SETH GITELL

Posted on 07/23/2007 11:11:54 AM PDT by Reaganesque

NASHUA, N.H. — As he campaigns here among die-hard Republicans, Mitt Romney is taking aim at the top tier of Democratic presidential candidates — chiefly Senator Clinton, accusing her of advocating an economic policy in line with Karl Marx.

Speaking yesterday to the Nashua Republican City Committee, the former Massachusetts governor criticized the three leading Democratic contenders — Mrs. Clinton, Senator Obama of Illinois, and a former senator of North Carolina, John Edwards — on a number of domestic and international issues. He also contrasted his background as a former governor and businessman with that of his Democratic rivals. The group that Mr. Romney addressed was comprised of local Republicans backing a host of different presidential candidates. He was the only one to speak in person to the group of fiscal and social conservatives. The group displayed a box carrying an audio version of Lou Cannon's biography of Ronald Reagan in connection with a fund-raiser.

"None of them has ever managed a private enterprise or lead a state, and their solutions would take us in exactly the wrong direction," Mr. Romney said. "Their solutions are Big Brother, big taxes, and big government, and that is not the right answer for America." Later, he told The New York Sun that "in the case of the three Democratic front-runners, none of them has managed a corner store, let alone a state or a city or an enterprise of the nature of the United States."

I equate Hilary's economic plan with Harpo Marx.

Over-under on how long it takes the Beast & Co. to accuse Romney of ‘McCarthyism’ for daring to imply that she ... may ... have some Marxist tendencies ...

The DBM/DNC has a wild hair up there a$$ over that sign. They say that the ommission of a comma makes it offensive.

The people at the DNC will go to their grave offended that the cemetery didn't have a correctly diverse mix of flowers.

SCREW them!

I guess they should take it up with Teddy Kennedy then who was the first one to leave out the comma making it into talk radio and internet folklore forever. It's sticking. They'll have to get used to it.

Here's the Teddy Kennedy mangling if you haven't heard it --- Kennedy's Obama Osama Slip

“The she-beast is easy pickins’”

Yes, Yes!!!

Can anyone find a copy of the real (and nightmarish) diagram of the “Hillarycare” nationalized healthcare plan?This was made public when “The Smartest Woman in the World” presented her “plan” to Congress in 1993.

For those who don’t remember, this plan was concocted behind closed doors by academics, government workers and “activists”—not a single healthcare professional was allowed to have input. “HillaryCare” included prosecuting doctors who provided care outside of the rules.

The diagram of how this stupidity appeared in a government report-—a picture speaks a thousand words. A friend of mine had it framed, and it hangs in his living room for laughs. It’s that ridiculously, outrageously complex.

One of the reasons the GOP took the House and Senate in ‘94 was fear and loathing of Hillary and her fascist plans for healthcare. The True Hillary needs to outed every day, day after day.

Limbaugh has a good one of Kennedy at a fundraiser for Clinton during the 1996 campaign. By the end of his short rant... he’s lapses into total, drunken incoherency.

It seems all of Washington DC’s insiders (and unelected bureacrat power brokers) are busy trying to set up two class based political parties. Essentially to poles using the Republicans as a place to park rich people and the Democrats to park the poor people.

Obama is doing the same thing.

her only retort is to accuse Mitt of becoming a Communist one day too?

There is the rub. It sounded like she was a member and Romney would join her soon.

~”As much as I loathe her, Her response is funny.

“Given how often Romney flip-flops, tomorrow he will be touting his membership in the Communist Party.””~

Yeah, I read that and I thought, That’s it? And this is the campaign that so many of us are scared of?
