Mitt Roney: You're no Gentleman

Posted on 01/15/2008 6:24:01 PM PST by MrArbitrage123

There is an unwritten rule in politics, especially WITHIN the Republican Party that the candidates don't come out and speak over one another.

I am not a McCain supporter as I see him as just as liberal as Giuliani. However, I was looking forward to HEARING John McCain make his concession speech.

About 90 SECONDS after McCain came out to speak, Romney comes out to interrupt McCain's speech obviously to quell any positive that might come out of McCain's concession.

This guy is way to slimey.

And you were posting before his speech was done. So if the shoe fits. I for one am glad a guy that was PRO business won in a state that needs him.

You do realize that vanities are frowned upon and should be posted very rarely, don’t you?

I’m not a Romney lover, but I’m unsure what the precedents are for this.

In the final election, you can afford to be polite to a defeated rival because he’s lost and it’s all over. But in a primary election, it’s on to the next state.

So, is this a dirty trick or isn’t it? I don’t really know. In any case, the campaign war isn’t over until your rival has been completely defeated and withdraws.

_________________________

I think in this case Romney is demonstrating the kind of knife fighting necessary to beat Hillary’s gutter tactics. I want to see a candidate who can deal with the Democrat hit machine. Nice move Romney. I want to see the good guys being politically aggressive and win for a change. I may vote for you yet.

I see it just the opposite. I think McCain is the sleaziest Repub in the group.

McCain has no class whatsoever.

Any thoughts that things were timed for television and Huckabee was really late making his speech, thus messing up the timing?

He is more of a gentleman than your choice the Huckster. Huckabee is a Sunday Christian and a very spiteful man. Romney is head and shoulders above him in class.

Mitt may have not even known Mr. McCain was giving a speech, or maybe he was given a cue to go ahead. It’s not as if they were in the same room.
