CHALLENGING THE SENATE majority leader and the sitting President has got to be good for Mr. Romney’s base. The press loves it. But all I see is men acting out and not offering anything remotely close to what’s required for the challenges we all face.
“It’s time for Harry to put up or shut up,” Romney said on Sean Hannity’s radio show. “Harry’s going to have to describe who it is he spoke with because that’s totally and completely wrong. It’s untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. It’s wrong. So I’m looking forward to have Harry reveal his sources and we’ll probably find out it’s the White House.” [The Hill]
I appreciate that Senator Reid started this latest exchange by making accusations he couldn’t back up. However, Romney should be careful, because it’s not Reid who people are doubting, it’s Mitt Romney. Changing the subject and causing a political dust storm isn’t impressive to the tiny sliver of people who are truly undecided, because they’re so fickle they won’t decide until after the debates and late into October.
So, who’s it for?
What it exposes further is that if Mitt Romney really had game, instead of playing the part of a Ronald Reagan wannabe and trying to sound like he’s got it, he’d show Harry Reid out to be the liar he’s calling him by unloading multiple years of tax returns in moral indignation, a Romney specialty.
It’s never been more obvious that he can’t.
“It’s never been more obvious that he can’t.”
I NEVER in a million YEARS expected to derive SO much entertainment from this years election!!! Could a screen writer have EVER come up with a more pathetic,cowardly, hilarious, improbable character then Mitt da Twit?!!!!!
If Romney cannot recover from his summer of misery, these last few weeks will resound as to why.
The competent Republican has turned to shambles. It has been amazing to watch.
BUT it is not over yet & Romney will have a small fortune in the fall.
There is the smell of revolt in theRepublican Party. Frank Gaffney, a neo con war hawk and noted Islamophobe who was an assistent deputy of defense in the Reagan Adminstration and one of the most virulent hawks to call for an invasion and occupation of Iraq, has now called out Grover Norquist as a member of the secret conspiracy that believes the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the State Department. Grover Norquist is married to a Muslim woman and was appointed by George W. Bush as director of outreach to the Muslim community. The Tea Party Islamophobes are besides themselves. All great fun to watch!
I don’t believe Romney has anything to hide, as I have said before, and I appreciate the fact he is not lowering himself to answer the ridiculous lies that Reid got from his ‘ANONYMOUS” sources. Points to Romney for not caving to a desperate liberal ploy.
Maybe, as I’ve read at Democratic Underground, it’s a Rovian ploy. Leak some false information (Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years) to some stooge, (Harry Reid) knowing full well that there is nothing to hide in the returns. When the stooge runs to the lapdog media, release the noncrontorversial returns thus smearing both the media and the stooge.
I like to think that is the case rather than that it’s just Reid’s ham-fisted attempt to get Romney to release his tax returns during the Olympics when most of the country is focused on the events rather than politics. One would expect the Majority Leader to be a bit more clever and that the stooge would be a back-bencher in the house.
Was wondering the same thing.
RIGHT ON!!! Keep it up mitt!!! Keep your taxes in the headlines!!
Precisely Harry Reid’s angle.
Mitt to Harry:
“I ain’t your punk, bish!”
and tell your boys to leave Rafalca the F alone if they know whats up.
LOL.
I didn’t know what you were talking about and had to google Rafalca! I didn’t realize Mrs. Romney had a horse in the Olympics!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!
Just think how many people she put to work, training, taking care of and grooming her horse. She is a job creator. GO ANN!
And neither one are going ot watch the horse in the Olympics. Or at least MItt is not going to. I guess he thinks watching the horse will play into his elitist image or something.
Well there are all the Vets she paid to “juice” that one and the one she sold!
Obama released his birth certificate to squash the CT keepdarkiedown contingent, so surely Mr. Homogeneous can release his tax returns (a legitimate request).
Barrie released his birth certificate only AFTER he was President…
If Mitt wants to release additional tax returns if he is elected, that is on him…
Until then I would tell Harry and Barry to kiss my a**.
btw sandman, that would actually be the CT keephalfdarkiedown contingent. *wink*
That would be like checking a resume after hiring someone.
The standard FBI/CIA background check took care of any questions regarding President Obama’s eligibility long before election day, but you already know this.
