HTV 02.01.07: Romney gets rammed

[22belhaven]

Romney makes me embarrassed to be an American. He said God so many times, yet but this uncaring, lying, right-wing, homophobic, racist idiot wouldn't know Jesus if he was nailed to the cross right next to him. Get the facts on this puppet:

[aprillh]

Great production values guys...please. Romney is the best GOP candidate for the White House.

[aprillh]

Romney is the right man for the White House in '08!

He did an excellent job as Governor of liberal Mass. And, he is NOT a "liberal" Republican. He might be a more moderate Republican, but he is NOT liberal! The reason Romney is being attacked is because he's the biggest threat to the other GOP contenders...Romney in '08!

[Gospellightz]

GO MITT GO!!!

[anishinaabe]

Funny that anyone would try to paint this fraud as a victim of bigotry. Now that is hypocrisy. It's like saying "you can't be prejudice against me....I was being prejudice against you first". And notice that all of the video's posted by Romney only allows comments of his supporters. Is this how we want our country to be run?

[Yunginspirit]

Romney never flip flopped on anything. His views have evolved just yours and anyones can and do sometimes on different issues. Many leaders have evolved or changed their views on issues. Of course, his enemies are trying to make a big deal of it as they are afraid of his great potential as a great president. Mitt 2008

[FormerMALiberall]

Romney: Who cares if he's a lying opportunist and would sell his own mother for a vote? What does the word of any politician mean anyway? Let's cut Mitt some slack and enjoy his determined, almost crazed shark eyes and erection springing rugged good looks! Ohhh, I think I just blew a nut--or crapped my pants! Damn butt pulgs!

[bigjaybryner]

Seriously. Look at what is being said here. Sell his own mother for a vote. He changed his positions on 6 issues in less than 3 years? - Let me repeat myself. Anyone who is worried about that stuff should scrutinize Romney even more. He'll come out fine. Remember what the whole country is pissed off about George W. Bush. He never changes his mind, he can't be persuaded, yada yada yada. Whatever guys. I like Romney, I'd vote for him over basically anyone else in the race right now.

[Cassadine1966]

After the way the right attacked Kerry for being a "flip-flopper," why in God's name did ANYONE not anticipate people on both sides would go after Romney for being one of the BIGGEST flip-floppers either party's ever seen?

[kyushu2002]

BIGGEST flip-flopper? Have you seen Hillary Clinton? She just follows polls blindly. She has no convictions for herself. Romney blows her out of the water.

[MKB2814]

Romney blows her out of the water in terms of flip-flopping. In that context, Romney's got a better record of flip-flopping on more issues in the least amount of time.

[bigjaybryner]

Yeah, maybe he looked like a deer in the headlights during his first campaign in 1994, against one of the most seasoned politicians in the country - Kennedy. But not anymore. Besides, he came the closest to beating Ted Kennedy out of anyone else who ran against him. As for the flip-flop charge. That's so old. Give it a little more scrutiny. Mitt will come out clean.

[MKB2814]

The flip flop charge isn't old, he changed positions on 6 issues in less than 3 years. Now that is moral relativism applied to being an opportunism for political ends. Willard Mitt Romney is a disgrace

[jacobgotime]

YOU'RE the disgrace. Forget your big words (moral relativism/opportunism) & educate yourself w/ facts, not lies (mainstream media). Bring a dictionary too. Romney has NEVER flip-flopped. He HAS changed his beliefs. If we come to the conclusion that a new belief is better than our current one, we would be disgraceful NOT to adopt the new belief. This is called a "change". A "flip-flop" as you ignorantly refer to means a change (flip) from A to B, followed by a change (flop) BACK to A.

[MKB2814]

Romney changed his beliefs solely for political gain.

He has FLIP-FLOPPED on pro-choice, signing legislation for it, while speaking different. FLIP-FLOP ROMNEY also had illegal immigrants working for him while being against it in the spotlight. Willard Mitt Romney is UNPRINCIPLED. Just disgraceful

[jacobgotime]

You know not what you speak of. I know him well, and know the truth (coherent and honest explanations) behind the empty claims made against him and his character by ignorant Americans like yourself. I revert to my previous comment which, due to your obvious lack of intelligence, seemed to fly right over your head. (See definition of "Flip-Flop" above) I now choose to not waste anymore time on you and your pathetic attempts to belittle a man you will never become 1/100th of...and you know it.

[MKB2814]

Whatever, sounds like you have a crush.

As a MA Resident we've seen his style, he ruled with no conviction, no vision, and FLIP-FLOPPED on many issues. They're all well cited and documented and his decision to vacillate on abortion is based on a situation his campaign cites that never occurred. Add lying to his list of UNPRINCIPLED actions.

[cmartel2]

You can't name the first vote that Romney has voted on that wasn't pro-life. I'm sorry, I know you want to. Pull up pasts quotes all you want, but he didn't govern that way.

[MKB2814]

(Romney) supported expanded access when campaigning for governor, but vetoed a bill expanding access, earlier this year. Earlier this week, the governor sought to exempt Catholic and other private hospitals from having to offer 'morning after pills' to rape victims. Then yesterday, he reversed his position."

- WBUR Radio, Boston, 12/9/2005

[MKB2814]

Marie Sturgis, legislative director of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, said she hasn't detected any change in Romney's stance. The group considers Romney to be an abortion-rights supporter, as do national antiabortion groups such as the Family Research Council."

- Boston Globe, 3/25/2005

[MKB2814]

There's just a few examples of MITT"S FLIPP-FLOPPS. You choosing to deny it is certainly no indication of intelligence.

[BruceDude1982]

Watch "Gov. Romney on '94 Debate w/ Kennedy". He responds to the "flip flop"

[Mazerunner]

Chuch Todd's comparison between Giuliani and Romney regarding how they talk about their conservative credentials was very prescient. I agree with his assessment. Romney looks like a panderer while Giuliani can garner more respect for simply being authentic even if he's not in lockstep with the conservative wing's views.

[writersblock101]

I'm from Kansas, Brownback's state. I've seen Brownback up close and personal. When the right-wing chattering class describes this "genuine conservative" Senator, it's certainly not the one I've seen. He's weak on immigration, spending, and the WOT. The last time I watched a speech of his, he stared down at the podium the entire time; not exactly the Great Communicator reincarnate.

Mitt is the best choice. It's not even close.

[FormerMALiberal]

Brownback, Huckabee perhaps have more conservative credentials.. but they got elected in red states, a cake walk.  The real test is a red stater getting elected in a blue state, thats Romney baby!

[wntoply6]

romney got elected in a blue state, as have a number of reps, but they were true to their convictions, but he is another story. either he lied to get elected gov, or he is lying now to be nominated for pres (cause that's as far as this liar/flip-flopper will get). he couldn't stand up to kennedy (looked like a deer in headlights)in their senatorial debate. Hillary will have a field day with him.

[bigjaybryner]

I am also surprised that Brownback and Huckabee are going after Romney the way that they are. But I think that the GOP will figure this out. We don't want another Bob Dole in a general election. Come on Romney. Time to do something brilliant again.
