It was only politically stupid. I suspect, however, that the statement reflected Romeny’s core values (assuming his any) of support for a international and domestic welfare/warfare state. This is the man, after all, who gave us Hillary....er......Mitt care.
So correct.
I am amused however that there are people on FR more upset that I said it was a stupid remark (which it was), than the fact that Romney praised Hamas.
As a side note they all seem to be LDS, could that make a difference?...hummmmm
