One day it's Matt Amorello; the next day it's former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami. Who's the ever-valorous Mitt Romney going to go after next on behalf of the citizens of Massachusetts?
He was outraged -- outraged! -- that a world-class tyrant like Khatami would be invited to speak at a terrorist-sympathizing institution like Harvard University and announced with great fanfare that no state resources would be devoted to his visit. Never mind that Khatami is considered by many in the human rights field to be a reformer or that the State Department gave him a visa to travel in the United States or that his speech on Sunday urged restraint on the part of all religions and nations.
Romney raged to the Globe about how someone like Khatami should not be welcomed on any campus. ``The development of nuclear technology, the jailing of students, and religious oppression . . . suggest that his lecture on tolerance would be a farce." And then he made a beeline to the Fox News studio to beam his views the nation over.
You go, Mitt. You go.

I don't have one yet. At first I liked Allen but he makes me nervous. Kinda like Bush, I get all nervous and worried every time he opens his mouth. Eight years of that is enough!
I was just reading about Mike Huckabee and he seemed perfect until I read about his stand on immigration. Next..
I just know I am opposed to McCain, Rudy and Mitt.
McCain has always been pro life but there are so many other reasons to hate him.
Rudy and Mitt are, or used to be too liberal.
I would vote for McCain or Mitt if forced to, but I will stay home before I vote for Rudy.
The reason I am so opposed to Romney is that he was at one time pro choice. But he says he has changed. I just don't buy it.
George H.W. Bush said the same thing.
And I voted for him. And then he gave us David Souter. That was no accident. It was his way of keeping abortion legal.
And all the others are just bland. Nothing much to any of them.
Newt could have been the perfect one but he has zipper problems.
BTW, my absolute dream candidate?
Someone who isn't running.
John Thune.
Everybody in that state knew the Amiraults were victims of a witch hunt. Romney is a sniveling coward.
The people Mitt is "rubbing wrong" is not the "opposition", but Conservatives who don't agree with baby killing, gun grabbing or socialized medicine.
There is also a substantial crowd who do NOT trust any politician running for national office who hails from one of the socialistic states in New England due to their confirmed belief in growing the government. Look at what GWB has done in that regard, and he's just the son/grandson of Rockefeller Republicans.
I kinda like tax cuts, shootin' mooslim scat.

I didn't say he was all wrong, but Free Drugs for Geezers, runaway spending and a open border/unenforced immigration laws situations are NOT ideal, to say the least.
I could go for some more means tested qualifications on lots of programs. But only with more opportunities for me to make more bucks.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but thune capitulates when the pressure hits. Thune flipped and opposed social security reform when he first ran for senate in 2002 because tim johnson was putting on the heat.
My bubble has not been burst.
He isn't running in 08 but he will someday.
And he will the awesome!!!
