Mitt Romney
- Thread starter gynn
- Start date
Sadly things went from bad to worse as the tour continued.
In a keynote speech, he declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, even though US policy holds that the city's designation is a matter for negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians.
He was accused of racism after he told an audience of Jewish donors that cultural differences explained why Israel's economy was much larger than that of the Palestinians.
He tried to praise the Polish trade union movement, Solidarity, for helping to topple Communist rule, but Solidarity were not having anything to do with him, given his history of attacks on trade unions in the US.
During the whole tour, he only answered three questions from US reporters, prompting his Press Secretary to answer legitimate questions from the reporters with "Kiss my ass" and "Shove it"
The only thing missing was his trousers falling down as he boarded the flight home, which would have been entirely in keeping with the tone of his tour.
You should perhaps keep in mind that for most yanks the rest of the world doesn't exist ... or at least, exists only in order to be ignored or invaded.
Criticism of Romney by the foreign media will probably increase his popularity among the GOP faithful. As long as he remains commited to lowering taxes, expanding the military, giving the private sector carte blanche to do anything they damn well want, banning abortion, breaking unions, making access to guns easier, repealing Obamacare ... well you get the picture ... millions of yanks will vote for him ... even if his pants fall down as he accepts the nomination of the Republican Party.
True but depressing Eric.You should perhaps keep in mind that for most yanks the rest of the world doesn't exist ... or at least, exists only in order to be ignored or invaded.
And scary.Is he called "Mitt" cause he can't keep his Mitts off women - hence he's a step backward into chavanism!
You've spend too long in front of a mirror,

Perhaps you're still in touch with the 60's, did you mean chauvinism?

Whichever you meant, managed to show your intelligence, (lack of), once more.

Whichever he meant,Less, neither applies to keeping your hands on or off women.
Wonder what he did mean?
We aren't likely to find out, he probably doesn't know, as for women, I long to re-apply hands on experience, with a deep sigh and thank you Madam afterwards.

God help her!
Seams he could be some body from the George W Bush school of impeccable presidential candidates
I haven't seen much of Romney but since the dear ol' folks of the USA officially elected George W Bush (possibly the most dangerous man who ever walked the planet) as their premier citizen TWICE it wouldn't surprise me to see Obama replaced with an inferior candidate.
God bless America.
Romney is worse than Bush. GW was merely a power hungry, amoral, opportunistic sonofabitch riding on the rep of his daddy. Romney quite probably believes the bs he is spouting. Under a Romney administration, the US will once again be undisputed biggest threat to world peace and security ... And don't forget, you folks who are familiar with how the system works down there, he will have two years with the benefit of a GOP dominated Congress.
If there is a bright side, a Romney win will benefit Canada (I know, that really doesn't turn anyone's crank over on that side of the pond
) ... Keystone pipeline will win quick approval, which means that bitumen from the Athabasca tar sands will be flowing to US ports and refineries. One only has to take a quick glance at the Middle East to understand why the yanks prefer to buy our oil And there will be strong US support for Canadian claims in the Arctic.And it is important to see what kind of neo-fascist, gun toting, born again, nigger hating (but only in private
), gay basher he chooses as his running mate. But, he could fool us all on that one and pick someone like Con Rice. Of course, it wouldn't matter all that much, the VP is still a cipher. John Nance Garner, FDR's VP, once observed that the job wasn't worth "a bucket of warm p(ee)" ... thing's ain't changed much.
Thought Condi had quite politics, mind you that doesn't stand for much, Tony's trying to make a comeback over here EricRomney is worse than Bush.

For those of you who actually have an interest in the run up to the election, and in US politics in general, keep an eye out for celebrity endorsements. We don't have such things in our politics, and I doubt you have them in yours; but in the US they carry a lot of weight. So far, Brad Pitt and his gorgeous old lady have endorsed Obama (altho' Pitt's mom has come out in support of Romney) Clint Eastwood has endorsed Romney ... Dirty Harry, go figure, eh No doubt, other celebs will clamber on one or the other bandwagon. I've no doubt that Oprah will come out for Obama; and that is a biggie ... Oprah has a large and loyal following.

Bit surprised at Clint endorsing Romney. Always thought he was a well-sussed sort of feller. Obviously not!

Another slip up by the next president...

Sounds like he's George W with the brains removed
His mam made the biggest slip up. By having him.
