Hezbollah managed to secure a base of support in what they did. You are completely missing the point here in what Romney said.

What did Mitt say that I am missing? We should be more like Hezbollah? NO THANKS.

"Hezbollah managed to secure a base of support in what they did.

So did Hitler.

Hey, I understand what he was trying to say and I am one of Mitt's biggest fans --- but nobody is perfect. This was a bad example..... a gaffe. The first one he's made, I think.

----> He's realized the error of his ways and has already corrected the statement:

Mitt Romney's campaign said Hezbollah was not a proper model for his vision of U.S. diplomacy, addressing a controversy arising from his earlier remarks.

"Governor Romney believes that bloodthirsty terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas have smothered the progress of the people and nations where they have built their networks, Lebanon serving as an example," spokesman Kevin Madden said. "These terror organizations cannot and should not be allowed to gain an advantage with the citizenry in Muslim nations just because they mask their terror agenda with an offering of some vital services."

In other words, they had a good idea which they've used for evil and manipulation rather than good.

Hitler, after all, was very efficient, and you know what Mussolini did for those trains...

Mitt not only loves the warfare state but he loves the welfare state. This is the logic of his position. The Paulists have long pointed out that the two go together like hand in glove.
