I understand Mitt's point. Hezbolla endeared themselves to Lebanon's people, by giving them humanitarian aid like schools and health care, just as the U.S. soldiers in Iraq have endeared themselves to many Iraqi's by rebuilding their infrastructure, schools and by giving them medical care and other kinds of help. Romney sees this kind of effort, as a way to build and establish good relations with such countries.

Mitt is obviously NOT referring to the indoctrination programs implemented by Hezbolla along with their humanitarian aid, as this twisted article would lead people to believe.

The United States is already extending humanitarian aid all over the world. Many people feel our government has OVEREXTENDED itself, in this regard on the taxpayers dime, (I am one of them) and won't support more such measures.

This is NOT a cornerstone of any of Romney's policy proposals, and hardly disqualifies him from the presidency. Too many conservatives are far too quick to point the finger and pile on.

Really. Actions speak louder than words (even when the words are a major gaffe). Geez, you'd think he'd been married three times, or cheated on his wife, or had ties to the mob, or got caught wearing girls' clothes, or lobbied for an abortion client, or given his kids PAC money or hired a pro-Arab, soft on immigration guy to run his campaign or something!

He will survive some poorly chosen words. Nobody is perfect (except maybe Duncan Hunter).

Liberals endeared themselves to America's people, by giving them YOUR MONEY in aid like rent, food and health care, KNOWING that those who rob Peter to pay Paul will ALWAYS have Paul's support (and votes)!
