If this report is true

It is. We refuse to join because it 'lacks credibility' according to Bush and others. All it does is slam Israel.

I meant if what AP is reporting Romney said, is true.

Sorry about that. :)

Oh no worries. Isn’t is sad that we have to disclaimer everything our media says about republicans and pretty much everything else they say too, in the first place...

[SHEENA26]

GO MITT!!

[Clara Lou]

We should withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Wikipedia, among other sources, indicates that the US is not a member of the Human Rights Council. How come Mitt doesn't know that? Alzheimer's setting in? Can't keep up with the facts? That's a bad sign. (After all, we know what you'd say if Thompson had made this error.)

Uh huh. Now if we had any reason to believe him over yet another appeal to conservatives served up later in the game.

Liberals and the UN do so much damage to humanity. This is a good move for Mitt. Good stuff. Keep it up.

Very sad.

Every word that oozes out of Slick Willard’s mouth is meaningless.

A little more ammo on Mitt. (IF he continues to diss the whole UN and not just part of it, I will take a look at supporting him. Not at this time)

This is awesome. Once the rest of the world realizes that we are the rulers of the world, we may allow them to approach us for help. Any country that accepts funding from the United States should bow to us until it is paid back with interest.

One thing you have to say for Romney, he sure knows how
to pander to the base!

OFF TOPIC: Romney is the only top-tier candidate who supports the amendment protecting traditional marriage. Supporting equal rights for all is not the same thing as supporting gay marriage or promoting a homosexual agenda.

Ann Coulter understands the difference:

"I do want to point out one thing that has been driving me crazy with the media -- how they keep describing Mitt Romney's position as being pro-gays, and that's going to upset the right wingers. Well, you know, screw you! I'm not anti-gay. We're against gay marriage. I don't want gays to be discriminated against."

"I don't know why all gays aren't Republican. I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they're victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us." ~~ Ann Coulter

“Supporting equal rights for all is not the same thing as supporting gay marriage or promoting a homosexual agenda.”
True, but I bet the pridefest participants don’t believe that.

I would want my constitutional lawyers to weigh in before I took an action that could be unconstitutional. They all do it. Hardly a good reason to knock a candidate.

Another good statement by Mitt!

[JRochelle]

I don’t know if anyone else noticed but the headline on this post is a flat out lie.

Mitt didn’t say he wants to withdraw from the UN.

Just the HRC, something we don’t even belong to.

And he would want to replace the current UN with something else.

This is typical Mittspeak. Smoke, mirrors and nothing else.
And his band of Mittwitts are experts and fudging facts.

This blatant lie pisses me off.

[JRochelle]

I’m alerting you to the BS that is this post’s title.

[ejonesie22]

I missed that little detail.

It’s pandering anyways. We would first have to break the treaty.
