Romney call raises McCain temper as issue

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- Mitt Romney's campaign is blasting out automated phone calls that feature a recording of former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania raising questions about John McCain's "temperament" -- a hot-button issue that Romney himself has assiduously avoided. Santorum said in an interview today that he wrote the script himself, and the campaign deferred to him and approved it.

C’mon partner, you’re getting pathetic. McCain has a long-standing, almost eternal record of telling people to F-blank, etc. He has a volcanic temper. Go read the 2000 radio interview transcript between Mike Reagan and McCain. McCain is a nut...and if you don’t know you’re uninformed. To COMPARE ANYONE to this man is a travesty. You need to get real.

To pretend Romney is a conservative is a travesty.

We haven't seen anything yet; wait and see if he gets the nomination (Heaven forbid!). I got a taste of it this afternoon on Fox News when they had a live split screen with McCain and Hillary. They were asked how the competition would be if they both ended up as their party nominees. McCain started to play nice, Hillary interupted and implied that it would be a fight and a friendly race. They cut back to McCain who tried his best to kiss up to her. But the MSM are playing the Dem agenda because on all of the replays thereafter they are editing out the first part of the conversation and only showing the "nice" statements.

“Former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney, who has cast himself as a Washington outsider and blasted his opponents’ ties to lobbyists, has more than a dozen federally registered lobbyists raising money for him and several others advising his campaign, records show.”

Not that facts matter to Romney cheerleaders.

That's not what the AP reporter asked. But thanks for playing anyway. We have some wonderful consolation prizes for you.

Will you ever tire of repeating the same old lies?

No, your travesty (comparing Romney’s minor comments to McCain’s vicious, vulgar, volcanic temper) is the true one. McCain is no conservative. True, Romney has hardly acted like a conservative, but I’ll take a chance on him before I let the author of McCain Feingold, McCain Kennedy and other disasters near the nuclear button.

You always assert, but never quote. Why are Romney supporters so terrified of facts?

“REIRED ADMIRALS AND GENERALS SUPPORTING JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT”

How many of these Admirals have actually gotten to know McInsane personally, or seen him in action to ascertain his mental health and temper. I doubt many, if any. They give lip service because they see McInsane as one of their own kind, regardless of the issues McPain supports that are liberal, and regardless of knowing the man’s personel temperament. If McStain gets in and starts cutting all sort of military programs and plane purchases, etc. in the name of cost cutting (he will go after the military first), they will come to regret their support for this little Napoleonic man.
