TPMtv Extra: Romney on Campaign Quotas

[ElusiveHermit]

Do you have more of this episode? Apparently, I was on it, with the only video thats in my profile.

[2012Romney]

So, we should just believe this clown? No fact checking, no videos, no official statements, no reporters quoting Romney?

Fits in with the typical liberal position of "say something enough, and it will become true"

As a Mormon, Governor Romney knows what it is like to be the subject of cultural bigotry, and the concept of him disqualifying a Muslim on religious grounds is laughable.

Nice try, liberals. Look what Obama has done to the country now. FAIL!

[RealFlaw]

Romney would have been the only good candidate for the 2008 presidency. NoBAMA. He sucks big time. Romney would have actually fixed out economy!

[Saadfeld]

That's code for Romney meaning there's no way in hell he would appoint a Muslim to any cabinet position. And his population percentage excuse is hilarious when you consider how low a percentage of the population Mormons are, and that they are mostly concentrated in one place in the US, Utah. Unlike Muslims who live in many spread out and diverse areas of the country.

[Yunginspirit]

Verifier, so what are you trying to suggest with your rhetoric? Romney stated loud and clear how he hires staff...one their ability, etc. Mitt does not believe in "affirmative action." The Republican Party DO NOT believe in "affirmative action."

In view of 911, I would not hire a Muslim in the higher echelons of my cabinet, if I were president. Just imagine the backlash Mitt would get from the newsmedia and others if he did! I hate to imagine it. (Muslims are good peeps.)

[MKB2814]

"(Muslims are good peeps.)"

but you're not.

Why do you hate America so much "Yunginspirit" or support Willard's apparent bigotry?

[mydodgers1]

Mitt Romney TURNED AROUND the Olympics when everyone said there was no hope!

He TURNED AROUND the Massachussetts state from a $3B debt to a surplus in IN ONE FOUR YEAR TERM in spite of a Democrat legislature.

He TURNED AROUND Bain capital, Staples and numerous other companies providing thousands of jobs to Americans (maybe millions).

Mitt Romney is the TURN AROUND KING!!! Vote for the new ROMNEYCONOMY!!!

[dybeen]

He's also the King of turning around on every single position he takes.

[SKYTRAIN1]

Romney will be relay race hand-off runner from GWB, if elected. If you REALLY want to know what I am eluding,google the following search terms. [Romney,Mel Sembler, Freedom's Watch]read their agenda and affiliations, that will answer all your questions....

[FormerMALiberal]

Nice lies MKB, Romney fought hard against gay marriage, it was because of democratic cronies like you and Deval Patrick that denied the people of MA the right to vote that gay marriage was forced onto our state. Funny how you can only win the argument if you lie, typical lib response.

[MKB2814]

Well, FML, you should read "The Missing Governor" by Hadley Arkes in the National Review.

No court ordered, no class action suit filed, and no legislation enacted. The state's constitution also gives authority over marriage issues.

Willard used that authority to issue same sex marriage licenses.

[MKB2814]

Keep in mind, the National Review has also written about Romney's poor immigration record, his citing Hezbollah for US foreign policy, and how he enabled gay marriage.

Take it from a Massachusetts resident. The best thing Romney did in his one term was quit.

[thinkpolicy]

.

"More than the other primary candidates, Romney has President Bush's virtues and avoids his flaws. His moral positions, and his instincts on taxes and foreign policy, are the same. But he is less inclined to federal activism, less tolerant of overspending, better able to defend conservative positions in debate, and more likely to demand performance from his subordinates, we vote for Mitt Romney."

- National Review 11 Dec 2007

.

[BeAmericanDangIt]

And what is the problem with that? Why would any candidate appoint a muslim to be, let's say, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America... huh? Are you stupid or something??? I am not saying all muslims are jihadists but if we were living in 1939 you would not see one German in there either. Go find something else to do.

[mattjbudd]

Where is the primary source? What is this world coming to? Do we actually believe everything people claim? As far as we know, this quote was just made up! I heard the socialist Clintons say, "I hate all Americans!!!! And all minorities!!!" Do you believe that? That's how stupid his resources are!

[hotblondie111]

Why do we even worry about this guy? HE DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE!!! Don't waste your time Romney...YOU ARE ALREDY OUT!

[alvincay100]

Get a life buddy... is that all the dirt you have on Romney?

[driggslaw]

This is completly bogus. Mitt Romney was clearly misquoted and no one verified that quote. The Romney campaign from day one denied that story and no one else there has verified that the Governor said this.

Mitt Romney is the best candidate. If you need to make up quotes to bring him down, verify your facts.

[dasamasa]

ok americans are racists and bigots case close move on

[comeonfolks]

GO ROMNEY as long as I live I could care less about what Liberties I lose. Thank goodness for Romney, common sense, of course you should talk to your lawyers before going to war. Thank goodness.

[elohssaxxx]

i get a kick out of you dipshits commenting on something you know nothing about

[FormerMALiberal]

Romney rocks my socks. I'm glad Romney isn't a racist and stocks his cabinet based on race, what a backwards bigoted act. By the way, I want to hear Romney say that about Muslims on an actual audio/video clip (this is youtube after all, back up your claims), this Mansour guy sounds shady. We all know what libs are capable of (Clinton campaign member at the youtube debate, Rathergate, Times make up his own stories guy, etc)

[byuept]

President Romney is the best hope we have for restoring fairness,justice and success to our country. He had me at hello...

[2Halifaxion2]

How? He will not challenge the Federal Reserve system, which has been destroying the value of the dollar since 1913...

Ron paul is the only chance we have left...

[umhamlin]

CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR

[laleeloolelo]

Well then it's a good thing i'm not from there.

[aprillh]

I saw how racial quota's worked in a major corporation. They don't.

[aprillh]

To hell with racial, gender, etc. quota's...it's bullcrap. The best PERSON regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. should be selected. Doesn't everyone want equality? Preferential treatment based on the above is not helping anyone. Enough of affirmative action! I'm a female feminist, but the way, and a conservative. Romney in '08!

[laleeloolelo]

"So again I would say that your father isn't muslim".

Well with that logic more than half of professed Christian aren't Christian either because they don't stone adulterers or burn witches anymore.

[laleeloolelo]

"Go ask a muslim that's converted away from islam. I'll bet you and your parents wouldn't be muslim for long".

You lost the bet because my uncle is one and my father couldn't care less as long as he stays out of trouble.

[laleeloolelo]

That's not what the question at all.

And Romney should not be allowed to backtrack from his comment like that.

[GlobalSufi]

Mormon's are a lesser minority than Muslims in America... So, Romney, what the fuck???

[laleeloolelo]

Hey Jason please let me tell you a little bit about myself.

My father is a muslim who marry my mother a christian and so far he hasn't been put to death and no one (muslim or christian)has ever suggest that he has to be put to death for marrying my mother.

So yes you can believe a muslim can be moderate just like i believe not all christian are fundamentalist rapture believing crazies.

[Glas45]

Romney will say anything to get into the White House. He would appoint Winnie the Pooh if it cld get him some votes.

He sure lied to those of us in Massachusetts.

Only 16% of MA would approve of their carpetbagger son.

[kidfromengland2]

Anyone could say that about any of the people running. He responded well to the accusation, you're better off just making fun of Bush for his last months of his presidency.

[rhoffer21]

From what I can tell Ron Paul has many of the same viewpoints as Bush. The only person really offering anything new is Obama, and he has no chance of winning.

[standinginsomething]

Mitt Romney:

...I covenant before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion. Each of you bow your head and say yes."

[apollodionysus7]

Non-Romney 08!

[percymate]

Ron Paul Hell yeah!!

[malickfan]

Ron Paul 08

[trumpetlord12]

RON PAUL 2008!

[jasonkyle111]

This guy is a retard and is trying very poorly to twist Mitt's words. Mitt is by far the most qualified candidate. I would love to have him run anything that he can. He is a natural leader and understands business better than almost anyone in the country.

[jtogea]

Hello? Where have you been? RON PAUL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT STANDS FOR OUR CONSTITUTION! Paul's positition is very clear, Freedom and Liberty for you and me. Do more research on RON PAUL, he is our guy!

[rihat]

Go Musharraf Go......You are illegitimate president......the whole nation is ashamed. Free detained judges, free detained lawyers, free detained civil rights activists, free journalist and independent media.

[caeseroct0]

And one of Bush's cronies.

[TeenageWildlife]

You seem to think that, by default, all those who are Muslims are bigots and abusers and treat their significant others poorly. This is BS. A meaningless veil that you use to cover up your unwarranted prejudice against all Muslims. By your same pseudo-logic, no Christians should be involved in American politics either. I really didn't want to entertain you on any of this, but I hope one day you can recognize your prejudice and rid yourself of it.

[ChristopherDering]

At this moment in time. The most barbaric acts in the world are being executed by the hands of Muslims. I am a Witch, NOT a Wiccain. I do not trust any politician and have spent much time around them. I am NOT predjudiced. I examine facts...and I accept them. Barbaric acts are Barbaric acts, and cannot be viewed as something else.

[slimpickens63]

rommel

[Quigs333]

muslims at this time should not be involved in the government, mitt rmney for pres. this guy in this video is a brainwashing faggot.

[eastsider786]

I am a muslim. But I'd like to see the recorded convo between Ijaz and Romney.

[ChristopherDering]

As the current state of world affairs go, I do not believe a Muslim should be in a high level government position. I can't wait for all the hate comments I get back... no I am not a republican, dem, or anything else, I am not a racist, I am not a religious fanatic, atheist, or agnostic. I see countless interviews from so called American Muslims stating "I am a Muslim first then an American second" Everyone is scared of offending everyone. The Muslim faith is Archaic and plagued with trouble.

[haredog62]

What about the Mormon faith? Do you consider that archaic?

[ChristopherDering]

I do not trust any of the politicians. On the note that I touched on before, it was simply this... any belief system can be abused and funneled into extremist action. I am a Witch. Call me a pagan, or what you will, I am not a wiccain, I am what we ALL are...light and dark. The moment you examine hard facts and state your claim...everyone calls you predjudice. Right now, much brutality is being produced by the hands of muslims.

[apollodionysus7]

you are definately right, in the last statement.

if you consider bush and other folks controlling things christians, then you can also see that much brutatlity is being produced by their actions. Torture, deaths of innocent civilians, perhaps 1 million, secret detentions, etc. That's a pretty decent amount of brutality. And there is evidence that some involved see it as being related to spreading Christian values (Crusades-style).

[apollodionysus7]

It's cool that you see yourself as not being a member of the groups you mention... I wouldn't be too sure of my objectivity though... you must've heard of some of the ridiculous and outrageous beliefs of both Christians and Jews, or Mormons; their faiths are quite archaic and full of trouble (check out the Bible). When I hear "so-called ___" it reminds me of other times when it has introduced something hateful. Just a thought.

[emailremarii]

Romney is a Flip Flopping Moron... Who cares what he thinks?

[grazon]

Well isn't that just special?

[RedDP21]

Romney just explained his stance and this guy is trying to turn his response around.  How is this news? Romney just said that he has people of various back grounds and ethics working for him. I did not hear him say anything about muslims, should we asume that he is against them? He does not have to answer this question. Get real America!

[chewbaca1989]

KIDS WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Do we need a Muslim in a Cabinet Post? Why are there so many Jews in high ranking positions? Some are Zionists and owe their alliance to Israel.

[chewbaca1989]

Heehaw! Heeeeeehaw! Heeeeaaaaw! Heeeeehaaaaaaw! Jackass. Muslim cabinet member would be a great asset. Let me tell ya why. Theres billions of them, and they count. I pray for them every night, that the lord keeps them and saves them and blesses them, in Jesus name I pray. A Muslim is of utmost importance in any cabinet in the future.

[Nicoleiia]

Vote Democrat or Ron Paul....America, please don't elect these corrupt republicans anymore!

If you knew Mitt you would all vote for him.

[mcalien24]

how many mormons are there in the us?

[Rivaneagle]

I love you Veracifier!

PS the obligatory: vote RON PAUL!!

[GoneFishing36]

It is a little stretch to conclude Romney for racial discrimination, but his text book answer only shows his lack of honesty.

[UnitedOffensiveIII]

Electronic voting machines must be thrown in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . Electronic Voting machines could never be trusted. If hackers can break and have broken into NORAD = "The North American Aerospace Defense Command" DON'T you IDIOTS think a stupid voting voting machine that was built for and by 1 of Bush candidates contributors could be hack IN? and the manufacture of the electronic voting machine promise Bush he would get elected again! AND HE DID!. = WAKE UP!.

[beerfestagogo]

have u ever come close to these machines, except election day? u couldnt nobody could and certainly not unsupervised by dem and rep officials. but, its true that the software is easy to hack and that votes could be skimmed off, say every 16th goes to dem or rep. after the election the program would be reset to default and no proof of tampering could be found. possible in theory(especially liberal conspiracy theory) not in practice.

[FormerMALiberal]

We are winning the war in Iraq, the mere fact that the liberal mainstream media is not reporting on Iraq shows the amazing success we are having on the ground there. As part of a military family, I supports the troops and their mission for VICTORY. Romney is on the right side of the issue, supporting the surge and the troops. Obama and Clinton on the other hand are old news, they still can flip flop (which they will do when they win the nomination and sell out the dopey far left).

[microspect]

my friend go back and study your history. Here's a good topic: Vietnam

[Sherlyjames]

Romney is a liar, on all sides, he is the wrong man for this country.

[UnitedOffensiveIII]

Next week im taking my vacations in Iraq im planing to go everywhere and take pictures and videos in general have a good time. They say the Iraq night clubs are the best in the world you really get a bang for your dollars!.

[mcalien24]

the "liberal media", owned by weapons manufacturers, isnt reporting good news because there is good news? fucking idiot

[YouTubReptilian]

Mitt wants to continue the war and that's unacceptable. The illusion of races keeps us blinded to the real issues. Get over it, no matter the color of our skin we are all as important as each other. Love is the key.  Peace is the way. Gratitude is the only real currency. Thank you all for reading. ;-P

[Budvb]

lol Go Mitt!

[deeshirley]

The question wasn't "would he have a muslim in his cabinet" it was "would he have a muslim as head of national security in his cabinet". Well since Muslims are trained not to respect state laws, but only Muslim laws, then it would not be in our national security's interests for them to head security, since they would probably let Saudi Araba and Iraq do what they want with us.

[Sherlyjames]

And Mormons are DEESHIRLEY, they wanted to take over the government, and have Jospeh Smith and BRIGHAM YOUNG AS PROPHET, AND PRESIDENT.

and you call that respecting the laws of America-- shooting governor Boggs!!

[5M1L3]

You seem very proud of yourself regurgitating a half reported story.  Mitt Romney has responded to the alegations in that article much the same way as he did in the first clips, you show. He also explained that he was rejecting the notion that he had to have Muslims in his cabinet based on numbers. He reiterated that he would select his cabinet based on qualification, not checking off boxes.

[PaulSiraisi]

He could just have been making a statement of statistical fact. If <1 percent of the American population is muslim, then that's the percentage of qualified cabinet members there would be who were muslim, all else being equal. More than 1 percent of the cabinet being muslim would represent bias.

[maluwelton]

its so funny how gleeful he looks when he pulls a "gotcha"

[dodiligens]

Romney is a colossal liar. He is without credibility.

[Zile77]

Muslims have been trying to take over the world one country at a time for centuries. Why? Because that's what it says to do in the Koran. Then they will force everyone to accept Islam as their one and only religion, or be killed. Islamic muslims should not be included in our government due to its demands.

[dogwagger]

You mean Christians right?

You obviously have never left your hometown, state, and country.

Dont comment on international affairs unless you've BEEN to another country. - Dumbass!

[grazon]

"A Muslim belongs in the Cabinet"?

Why should someone be in the Cabinet based on their religion?

[momerath42]

Indeed, that shouldn't be a qualification one way or the other.  It occurs to me, though, that it would be a rather brilliant diplomatic move to name a muslim secretary of state. But then, of course, the question becomes "from which sect of islam?"

[grazon]

You'd also have the asshats in the Muslims community (every community has them) who see this as proof that if they keep up the terrorism Americans will convert.

[grazon]

my mistake I should have written "...who would see.."

[ddnn2000]

IT'S FLIPPER! Just his buddy Hillary!

[yayarea41507]

[MKB2814]

What record is he pleased with?

[fuzzybekool]

TO All who read this... Mitt Romney will not win any primaries.

He reeks of fake-ism, big money, funding his own campaign due to lack of support.

We don't need another millionaire in Washington. What we need is a common man for the common people - RON PAUL 2008

[cityview1989]

Romney = Mormon Mormonism was founded by Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was a Skull and

Bones member....a SECRET SOCIETY...GOOGLE IT.

ITS A OCCULT. Devil worshippors

Beware of the CFR politicians. They want World War 3.

People not in the CFR Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. Vote and doante to them 3.

Those are the ONLY 3 saying the TRUTH!

[blair227]

Man you conspirace nuts need therapy.

[elperropatron]

and you need to learn how to spell

[blair227]

Whats a y between idiots? You probably can't fucking read anyway. Tell the person who types your mindless tripe I'm sorry.

[elperropatron]

Look Short Bus, I didn't make the Skull and Bones comment. I was just pointing out that your response makes you look like a buffoon.

[blair227]

Well now that thats settled read this FUCK YOU. Did I spell it right asshole?

[elperropatron]

You're obviously a genius. My mistake.

[blair227]

Thank You. Look man I apologize but getting upset over hitting the wrong typing key is not something I usually get upset over.I read mispelled comments here all the time and can usually figure out what they are saying without turning into a elementary grammar teacher. Peace.

[dogwagger]

You profess peace with THAT attitude?

Like the peace you brought to Iraq I guess...

[blair227]

Well dogwagger since I have no idea what you are talking about I will assume you are another mindless Paulbot or a mere asshole. Eithe way I really don't care.

[dogwagger]

for the typo, or for your ignorance?

[dogwagger]

Therapy in the form of truth from our government perhaps.

[cityview1989]

Its not a conspiracy idiot. John Kerry, Clinton family and the Bush family are in the Skull & Bones Secret Society. Its all here on youtube, Meet the Press, Interviews. Its facts that your too dumb to notice. By the way...you misspelled "conspiracy"...hahahah. Dumbass. Do research than respond.

[mattjbudd]

I just can't help noticing how stupid your resources are. Has it ever occurred to you that the internet is full of lies, written to further someones agenda? I can't believe you said, "google it."

[cityview1989]

Do some research then respond to me.

[Dicecube78]

Hey, so is TV and newspaper, buddy! The same mainstream news you're rotting away your brain with on TV is on the internet too. The only difference is there is more freedom of press on the internet. Example? Youtube!

[33115566]

Horse manure. Romney should be cut a break on this one.

[MKB2814]

Horse manure is a good description of Romney.

More accurate with a coating of bullshit.

[marcusjansen239369]

anyone that votes for this scam artist deserves everything they get. He is a slick business man that gives a rats ass about anyone!

[blair227]

My God how can people not see through this phony? He so damn slick,Clinton seems like a dry look man next to him.

[Sherlyjames]

Romney believes in MONEY. Romney is a BIGOT!!ROMNEY is a RELIGIOUS BIGOT ( glad I got that off my chest! lol)

It's people with MONEY  Mitt likes( and people who do him favors, like in cover-ups)

[skinnychef]

good work josh!!!

keep it up!

[otto1882]

If Romney believes that then he wouldn't stack his administration with Jews who are less than 2% of the population. Of course we all know he would just like every other previous administration has, particularly Bush. Cohen, Wolfowitz, Mukasey, Libby, Bolton...

[TechnojunkFactory]

Are there any qualified presidential candidates who are NOT religious? I guess the time is not right for that leap?

[kuriostone]

Yeah, no. I don't think the world is ready for enlightened atheistic humanism in a world leader. Maybe sometime in the next century. Hope I'm wrong though!

[fiaskolo]

The same restrictions obviously do not apply to Jews.

[leepakim]

can anybody send this video to Wolf Blitzer? I guess that Wolf didnt know about this article. Next time Rommney is on Wolf can ask him again.

[mfyyre]

Exactly... both are just what America doesn't need..

[crazycatfguy]

I am very tolerant of religion overall but someone who believes you can't understand the Bible unless you look at it through a couple of rocks and since the rocks are lost you have to take the word of someone who says he looked at the bible through these rocks is somewhat scary. If the guy picked up and ate some mushrooms with a purple nipple before allegedly finding these rocks it would make more sense.

[kuriostone]

I mean no specific disrespect to any of the world's religions, but I haven't seen any claims that are *more* credible - they all sound equally bizarre and unlikely to me.

[mattjbudd]

This is what you sound like:

I'm pretty tolerant of religion, but someone who believes that some man built a huge boat and put two of every animal on it is crazy.

Every religion has some pretty crazy beliefs!! Religion is based on faith too. Which is believing something you can't prove to be true. So your argument is quite flawed, bigoted, and hypocritical!

[crazycatfguy]

If that is what you think I sound like you should take a college listening class. Wrong!

[hypnofan35]

Mitt Romney seems like he could be a model for selling super expensive yaghts. Whereas George Bush will likely want to slap his name on an aircraft carrier.

[mfyyre]

Exactly.

[publicz]

I love your videos, so please take this criticism in kind, you ended you story with "so if that quotes true...", that's a Foxnews technique, much like "some people say...".

Your a journalist, confirm and verify your talking points!

[jimbojim68]

Good point, but this is not a media outlet Josh works for, it's his vlog on Youtube. Fox pretends to be nonbiased. Josh is a proud liberal.

[publicz]

Thanks for the reply and I agree with your comment. Right after I left my comment I realized I could have phrased it better, and I also noticed that Josh sited his sources in the description, which means people like me can look it up for myself. Too bad Josh didn't have an audio/video clip of Romney contradicting himself, that would have really made the point!

[MKB2814]

"Too bad Josh didn't have an audio/video clip of Romney contradicting himself"

Don't worry, there's plenty of A/V clips that Romney contradicts himself out there. On just about every issue too.

[mfyyre]

Romney scares me more than Rudy does.

[HiGuy505]

no me because Rudy has a way better chance of winning dont you think?

[lookingforananswer]

Of course he is not going to welcome people different from himself into his inner circle. His religious background instilled in him a belief that people of color are less than human. The only reason the mormons had the 'revelation from God' that made blacks human was because a black man threatened a lawsuit when he wasn't allowed to move up in the church hierarchy.

[mattjbudd]

I like how you think you can just write mormon beliefs like your their church leader. They have never said that people of color are less than human. People that ARE mormon have said that, but their church has NEVER said that. If you go back in time far enough every religion has it's racist moments. Everyone was racist! You can't judge a person on what his/her great grandparents believed. Now that's bigotry.

[alby451]

exactly when i joined the church my bishop told me that the Church is true and perfect the people in it arent .

[dafttool]

Romney defending his lack of diversity in his inner circle gave me a flashback to Reagan defending his own lack of diversity. Romney's idea of America is not reflective of its reality, but instead of whitebread bigotry. You could've just as easily asked him about gays in positions of power as muslims and his answer would've been the same.

[Randomambusher]

I wonder if like Regean, he might go for a Southern Strategy approach and assure racist voters thats he's racist too. Regean did it with his Philadelphia speech, wonder if Romney would too.

[arsh89]

this is the statement that killed irony. Really? A democratic country such as the US not allowing citizens of certain ethnic and religious backgrounds to partake in the American political process? Really. I thought Lincoln helped to end this when he decided black people are worthy of being treated like humans, or when the MLK Jr. spoke out about the Jim Crow, or when the feminist movement took hold... Really??

[copcorona]

Jihadism is not the greatest danger to America

Crusaderism is.

[Randomambusher]

Wanna know the thing that scares me the most? Deep down, when I think about taking up the cross or see movies like Kingdom of Heaven... I get a little excited. At moments like that I realize that I've been brainwashed somewhat. Then I imagine how I'd feel if people invaded and destroyed my country... something tells me I'd likely sew a cross to my jacket and lay roadside bombs.

[voiyour]

I can identify with your last 2 sentences. I've thought the same. If the tables were turned (the east had a superior military and the US basically had none), how would I react to invaders who "knew" that Sharia law was best and the US should be run by clerics and imams, and they were here to install that type of govt. I'd be out planting IED's too!

[intarwebzz]

i've got a better chance of being presnit than this joker.

[Mikey34549]

Ron Paul 08

[garvess]

Romney 08!

[leoluv822]

is racism part of his religion?

[dingusmungus]

The mormons believe blacks were neutral in the battle between good and evil, and where therefor cursed with black skin.

[foley15136]

Bigotry is part of his character.

[mattjbudd]

No it's not! I know plenty of Mormons, and their not racists.  Should I call you a racist because your grandparents were?

[voiyour]

The Mormon church has a very racist history. As recently as 1978, blacks were not allowed to hold leadership positions. Somebody needs to ask him about that. He was 32 when the church finally changed their racist policies.

[MKB2814]

Keep in mind, while stumping in Iowa, at the same time he was playing governor, he used the term "tarbaby", claiming ignorance of it as a racist term.

[Blahcetera]

Romney: Whooooooops!

[Raspute]

Isn't Mansoor Ijaz the businessman with Sudanese oil assets who lied to the Clinton Administration about Sudan being willing to negotiate the surrendering of Osama bin Laden so they would lift trade sanctions?

[djathens2]

He didn't have any Sudanese oil assets, though he was interested in doing investment management of the profits from oil exports once Sudan became an exporter. I found a page that sums up the events you are referring to. Go to sourcewatch(dot)org and type "mansoor ijaz/sudan" into the search box.

[Raspute]

Thanks the name just rang a bell. I'll look it up.

[MKB2814]

Romney denied knowledge of the stem cell investments in his stock portfolio, practice that is in opposition with his conversion as an anti-abortion candidate.

Romney, who holds assets worth between $190 million to 250 million also invests in casino operators, AN OIL COMPANY THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH IRAN, and a firm with cash linked to the genocidal Sudanese government.

The Tea Party will wash away Romney.

he only said that on the situation room because he was trying to save his bum. it would look bad otherwise. but, that doubletalk creates a lot of problems in our society. but who knows? maybe it was the way the questions were presented? maybe it's because of outstanding circumstances and not because he's a republican douchebag (but, probably not).

Well isn't that interesting I wonder how long it will take him to flip flop on this issue?
