Awwww, you didn’t ask me about the picture!
I don’t play quessing games.
If you want to tell us, go ahead.
Seeing the GOP primary littered with liberals is killing me, of course.
The Romney Sleaze Machine strikes again: (a) This story is not manufactured, unless you speak of Willard creating it with his ridiculous lie. (b) I have no "Mormons are racists" story.
That's about as credible as any of Willard's lies.
Aww, being called that by a Mittwitt is a badge of honor. I’m gonna put you on my Christmas card list.
I use that photo because:
IT...DRIVES...YOU...NUTS!
In the 1980`s Mitt was an independent liberal who opposed Reagan`s conservative agenda.
In 2007, Mitt's still a liberal and a liar, and he still opposes Reagan conservatism.
I don’t really care how much Romney’s dad was tied to the civil rights movement. It’s not like Romney gets credit for what his father did.
But Romney needs a better spokesperson if the campaign speaker actually said he meant it “figuratively”. If he wanted to say that Romney saw his dad march, but wasn’t saying he actually saw MLK IN those marches, he should just say that and move on. Imprecision by campaign spokespeople just drags the candidate into these stupid discussions.
Congratulations. Will that make him first there? We got Mitt on the top of the ballot in Virginia by getting his signatures almost two weeks before the other candidates.
I've told you several times that Romney never claimed, nor received, an endorsement from the NRA. Why do you keep confusing people?
LOL. Yeah, there's some rational, logical thinking we need in the white house...NOT.
Not only that. He said it twice.
TO WIT:
Romney said: "I also was pleased to have the support of the NRA when I ran for governor."
Romney said: "I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA."
Can either you, or your lying candidate, tell the truth?
I didn’t read those threads because I thought Willard had not used the word “endorsement.”
Now I find out he DID use the word endorsement?
Do you have a link to your second quote?
Look, this is a non-issue. Mitt’s father was obviously very involved in the civil rights movement with Dr. King. Mitt was a child: his memories are actually good enough. So he’s not a liar in the vein of Al Gore being sung to sleep with the Union Label song, or Hillary being named for Sir Edmund.
It’s wonderful that his father was a great man. But it doesn’t really matter what a candidate’s father did, anyway. It just so happens that many great men come from great fathers. But some great men still do not. We are not a country where pedigrees are supposed to count.
It’s not only fascinating that Romney won’t tell the truth about his father and Martin Luther King.
It is also fascinating that Romney feels the need to drag Daddy’s memory out of the closet to help promote himself in this race.
It’s bad enough when Hillary uses Bill as a crutch. But using George Romney really smacks of desperation!
So how many times has Mitt brought up his Father in the campaign?
Mitt loves to wax poetic about his father.
He’s talked about sitting at the table with his family when his father decided to run for the presidency.
He’s talked about his father’s jogging habits.
He’s talked about his father’s innovation in the automotive industry.
Now he tries to tell a story about his father and Martin Luther King.
It is a common theme for him. He is comfortable bringing up his father’s name and talking about the man.
I wouldn’t do this, if I was running in his place. His father lost his bid for the presidency. And I think that with voters who remember George Romney, this would not be a good connotation.
