Maybe Republicans aren't ready to nominate a divorced candidate...

Romney’s campaign is a joke, just like last time around, when will this guy get it, FOLKS DON’T WANT YOU!!!
You tried to buy the nomination last time, and it failed, and you hoped you could just quielty be coronated this time and its failed.
This is a pathetic ad, if that’s truly what this ad is...
Romney, Newt ain’t exactly a favorite of the hard right either, but you know the one thing he’s been doing and doing consistently??? He’s framed nearly everything he’s done as not an attack on other R’s.. but by contrasting what he would do vs what Obama has done!
You can’t do that, why? You enacted RomneyCare, which was effectively ObamaCare at a state level, so you can’t seperate yourself from Obama on policy, since your policy record wasn’t one of major differences in many areas.
I’ll freely admit, I don’t like you Romney, never have. It’s got nothing to do with your religion, or your success or failure in business.. it has EVERYTHING to do with 2 things, 1) You signed into law legislation that effectively punished people for simply BREATHING!!! You either pay the state, buy insurance, or be punished JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ALIVE.. that is fundamentally UNACCEPTABLE! 2) You attempted to portray yourself as Reaganesque last election cycle, and it was truly sad. I don’t like when any politician tries to paint themselves as another, period.
However, if you truly have launched an ad simply attacking a guy on the grounds he’s been divorced?? First of all attacking is silly, give voters a REASON you are a better choice, not attack another R.. second, you are tone deaf politically.. yes even in Iowa folks get divorced Romney, it stinks, don’t condone it, but if we are disqualify folks from jobs because they have been divorced, you are going to have an unemployment rate far higher than the real numbers of 17-20%.
Just Wow.
Well at least he is consistent on 1 issue. Too bad for him it is the only consistency in his life.
What an arrogant, tacky man.
And we are allowed to mock you for saying it.
He’s getting attacked for it, because really that’s all you got?
Claiming you never divorced, is admirable.. however its not exactly a winning claim either. John Edwards could make that claim during all his electorial bids... how’d that end up? Bill Clinton’s never been divorced either, but he’s run around for decades.
I am personally glad that any couple can stay happily married for the long haul, but does that mean others whos marriages failed are somehow less capable to do a job? Somehow I doubt the logic of that claim.
“What an idiot. He just insulted every American with two marriages.”
I hadn’t thought about that. You’re right. Doesn’t one out of every two marriages end in divorce? There are also many reasons why divorce happens. I can see people saying, “Well, bloody good for you, Romney - I don’t need you in the White House to remind me of my divorce - good bye, Romeny.”
This is his shot at his biggest opponent? What’s he going to say about Obama? He’s too tall.
"Unlike some people, I don't have jug-ears and purple lips. And my wife's rear end isn't as wide as an Amana side-by-side refrigerator."
He never says anything like “unlike others”. Its a bit of a stretch to slam him on this. The ad and response was from a debate trying to counter his flip-flopping. You can critisize him for flip-flopping, but this is hardly a slap at Gingrich.
It’s good for America to see what lowlife Romney is willing to do under pressure.
The man is a sissy.... and he’s frantic.
Note, I’m NOT equating Noot to Reagan.
The skit explained the difference between them. Mormons have many wives. Kennedy has many wives but one at a time.
So Mitt is happily married, but does his wife feel the same way?
I thought that the last time he ran it cost him personally over $43,000,000 and he promised his wife that he wouldn’t do that again.
Is being the President that lucrative of a job?
Asked and answered.
Careful with the personal shots there, Mitt. You might lose even more support.
