The camera seems a tad out of focus at the neckline, but hey.

BOB BECKEL, GUEST CO-HOST: Governor, this is Bob Beckel in for Alan Colmes. You just said something interesting in your response before. You said that those are the kinds of things said by people on the other side. Are you suggesting that Barack Obama is on the other side of the United States on this war? You said the other side. I'm curious what you meant by that.
ROMNEY: I meant the other side of the aisle. Democrats have been saying — for instance, Harry Reid said we lost the war, forgetting of course that we knocked down Saddam Hussein and his military. And then when the surge was only days old, he said that the surge failing or had failed.
Consistently the Democrats are saying things which are playing into the hands of those who oppose our interest in the world and it is unfortunate. I don't believe for a minute these guys really think some of the things that they are saying. I think they hope they are appealing to the far left wing of their party. But I don't think it's going to work.
...
BECKEL: Governor, you're very good at parsing words. I know understand why you're doing as well as you're doing. I don't think that you can play that back and read it any other way than you're suggesting those of us who oppose the war are somehow less of Americans. But let me ask you this question.
ROMNEY: Bob, I am not going to let you say that. Bob, that's not true.

“Of course people who oppose the war are great Americans and patriots.”
You can believe that the war in Iraq was a monumental mistake and still be someone that loves this country. Heck, you could even be a Republican.
The ping list has 121 - yahoo! And I believe we are all volunteers, at least I am and I go on pure conviction.
ROMNEY to Beckel: “You must not be going to my meetings, because every single speech I give that I can think of, every one of my — we call them “Ask Mitt Anything” town halls, I talk about my health care plan, which is a way to get people in this country insured without expanding government programs, without expanding Medicaid, but instead helping people get private market-based insurance.
“So it’s one of the things I’m most proud of. And I hope I get a chance to debate Hillary Clinton on the very topic because when I’m asked what the biggest difference is between my plan and her plan, I’ll say that mine got passed.”
I am tellin’ ya - I can’t wait for Mitt to debate Hill on health care!!!!!!!!!!!!
I...uh...there’s a picture of Mitt without a shirt on? Can’t say that I’ve seen it. Hey, if it worked for Obama...
I watched it the other night. Beckel was horrible. Just vicious towards everyone. Mitt handled him well.
LOL LOL ;-)
You know, if that picture surfaces around general election time, pretty soon there will be calls for Hillary to,er......well.....
Romney has massive political talent, which will continue to tell as the months unfold.
Did Rodgers give him advice on investing in prostitutes with post-dated checks?
>>>No other GOP candidate could do this, and especially not Freeper Fave Fred.<<<
I’m obviously a Mitt fan, but I think Thompson can hold his own pretty well when faced with criticism. He’s generally best when he can come up with something smug and when he acts non-pluss. That said, I could see him getting broad-sided a lot easier than Romney could, and I’ve seen a few deer in the headlights moments from him.
I do like Romney’s style when dealing with the Democrats. He turns to shoot straight and deliver his barbs in the vehicle of reason. It makes him come across as far more competent and far less nasty than the likes of Hiillary Clinton or Charles Schumer, for instance.
Fred got rolled over by John Glenn during the Chinagate hearings..
It was apparently in a NE newspaper a few years ago,I would love to find it.
I think it was also part of a commercial when he ran for governor.
Photoshop!
although I’m sure the real pic isn’t far off ;-D
Did you get that from Reuters?
lol, nice!
~”Did you get that from Reuters?”~
You know better than that. There’s not nearly enough smoke for a Reuters shot.
I was going to suggest somebody splice his head onto Obama’s body, but that might be a little hard on the eyes.
Rombama?
