Romney blasts Obama's 'tour of apology'
the hill ^ | 6/1/09 | By Reid Wilson

Posted on 06/01/2009 3:51:24 PM PDT by Flavius

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) accused President Obama of embarking on a "tour of apology" around the globe at the expense of America's national security.

"It's not because America hasn't made mistakes — we have," the former Republican presidential contender said, explaining his criticism, "but because America's mistakes are overwhelmed by what America has meant to the hopes and aspirations of people throughout the world."

""Action — strong, bold action coming from a position of strength and determination — is the only effective deterrent," Romney said, calling for "regime-crippling" sanctions for North Korea."

No Romney male has ever served the United States in the military, ever, not one in the entire history of the United States of America.

What is it that Romney is saying in this story that you find objectionable?

Spoiler and GOP backstabber Mitt Romney:
"It's not because America hasn't made mistakes -- we have
by taking that woman instead of me."

"I've admired the spirit of your service, because it's not the strength of our arms or the power of our technology that gives the United States our military dominance -- it's our people," "It's our sailors and Marines, soldiers and airmen and Coast Guardsmen who perform brilliantly in every mission we give them."

Scum bag politicians say many things that sound good to people, it is what they do, but it doesn't mean that we have to put blinders on and support them when we know that they are the enemy of conservatism.

What he said is irrelevant. Romney has no credibility to accuse anyone of anything, Mr. "Look, I was an Independent during the time of Reagan-Bush."

Don't include us citizens in the mistakes you politicians continue to make by not living by the Constitution.

America doesn't make mistakes, individuals do. Most of them have a letter after their name Mitt!

Oh, what Romney says (today) is OK; the agenda behind it (the eternal campaign) is not OK.

Romney is a non-viable candidate.

He needs to leave the stage and make room for potentially viable candidates.

Addressing the current problems facing our nation is not a zero sum game. There is plenty of room for others to make comments. To tell people to "shut up" is not a very impressive argument. Andrew Klavan has a video on PJTV that illustrates the ignorance of people who use this tactic when arguing.

What utter nonsense. What possible difference could it make
what "tactics" you perceive a poster is using?

Romney is a backstabber who threw Election2008 to Obama because he was jilted.

Poor sport. Liberal RINO chameleon. THAT is the issue.

Has Team Romney apologized to America, the GOP, and Gov. Palin?

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidatesn:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

That tactic is about as disgusting as calling a fellow poster ‘a hater’ for opposing vigorously the Mittster and his minions.

“Addressing the current problems facing our nation is not a zero sum game.”

Romney is not “addressing” any problems facing our nation.

All Romney is doing is jumping up and down screaming “look at me!” “look at me!”

“I’m relevant”

“Put the Camera on MEEEEEEEEE!

(So the stupid people will vote for MEEEEEEEE)”
