Romney makes his crack at the 1:07 point in the video. He's clearly taking a cheap shot at Palin.
It was definitely a dig and a reminder that she didn’t attend.
NYC can keep up his personal attacks but it can’t change what happened.
That’s your interpretation of it. I see it as nothing but self-deprecating humor... Clear as day... and the verbiage was exactly what I posted to the other lady.
Thanks for posting the video of Romney...
What a ugly cheap shot at Governor Sarah Palin...
That jerk will use anyone to get ahead...
Virginia Ridgerunner,
Thanks for posting the video.
:)
Thanks for the video evidence. Romney stated the same thing about Gov. Palin not to long ago on Larry King. And NYC I am not doing the research for you But the evidence is there. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I don’t see it. There’s no cheap shot there.
Man. Eddie Haskell ain’t got nothin’ on Romney.
“It’s high time to put America’s kids first and leave the union bosses behind!” … tepid applause …
“The right answer for Detroit is this: Fix it first!” Huh? I suppose he’s talking about NOT bailing them out, because he just got through explaining that the TARP funds were somewhat justified … but still, Huh? It’s like another nonsensical gem:
“We will have to fight to make sure America stays America.” Such gratuitous flourish is all the more ironic because in the next few breaths he embraces “conservative” government “programs” to interfere with … er, “fix” health care, education, and energy “issues.” Back in the day, “America” meant freedom from such government meddling. My dear conservative Dad and Mom have pretty much always held up freedom from government meddling as being "America," as opposed to every other country that had government dictating health choices, education, energy, and who knows what else.
“[We conservatives] believe in Democracy …. Conservatives favor clear, streamlined, up-to-date regulations and laws that let the economy work ….”
Now, I know that plenty will accuse me of cherry-picking quotes. I’m not – two out of every three sentences from the guy are made up of this kind of prattle. Here’s another one – “To recover our country is our first concern.” Yeah, so tell me something I don’t already know.
The third of the sentences that deal with substance are pretty bothersome. For example, he talks about how Obama’s plan, while “some will help,” basically means “universal government, and that model has never worked anywhere in the world.” So what does Mitt want – semi-universal government? Is that what conservatives stand for? It sure sounds like that’s what he thinks – he goes on to talk about how his health plan in Massachusetts is a great thing. He says that “the power of the government is limited by the constitution.” Boy, that’s helpful! Thanks, Eddie … er, Mitt!
Then he says that with cap-and-trade, “let’s have a world-wide solution, not an American one” -- a solution to a “problem,” global climate control, that is a hoax power grab to justify control of energy production. He talks about “free markets properly regulated,” which sounds next-door to an oxymoron, and next says that in “some cases” Democrat policies “encouraged abuses at Fannie and Freddie, and in some cases those abuses were for political gain …. *sigh* Some cases? And excuse me, aren’t Freddie and Fannie the antithesis of free markets entities, kind of the way Public Radio is? So why is Romney legitimizing them as part of the playing field, instead of condeming their being players in a free market in thte firt place.
I’m afraid to even verbalize what I think a real conservative would say, because like suck-up Eddie Haskell who knew how to look like an angel to Church Ladies and Community Leaders, Romney would start saying them ignorant of the principle anchoring them, and people would actually fall for it. Some of us know when we’re being buttered up. Some of us know how to discern empty verbiage from real information.
But for the Romney fans, it goes right over their heads. Just like conservative principle sails over Romney's head.
I don’t see what was wrong with that remark Virginia Ridgerunner, Romney was complementing Palin, he said, PALIN was OFFERED 11M, and his reply was that he would have to COME UP WITH 11M.
He deflated himself and elevated Palin so you are all wet!
You don’t think that after a while Romney folks get tired after a while when things are always spinned or taken out of context!
