Why don’t you donate money to O’bama’s campaign ? Your support of a lying liberal Massachusetts RINO puts Smiley that much closer to the White House.

Cutting off a concession speech is pretty low, but this thread is pathetic. Did you know there's a live thread? This embarrassing vanity thread is the reaction of a little girl. Is that what you were going for?

I didn’t like the way Romney did this either. Not gentlemanly at all.

Mr. Roney has a sister named Raisa.

She’s a prostitute in San Francisco.

I agree with your title.

That Mitt Roney is no Gentleman? Then can you explain who this "Mitt Roney" is?

It may be funny but it shows a lack of class.

Here is what Jonah Goldberg had to say about it.

Congrats to Mitt Romney for his victory. But he shouldn’t have stepped on McCain’s concession. Maybe it was a misunderstanding of some kind. But otherwise, I think it came across as ungracious.

“It was pretty crass ...”

Baloney, it was funnier then heck, and a good political move, as well as deserved, as the Huckster/McInsane tag team both skipped out of Michigan rather than stay there and give their concession speeches first, so the first instance of “rude” was on the parts of McLame/Huckleberry. Plus, the Huckster came out to give his concession speech (in SC), and while he was still giving his speech, McQueeg came out to give his, so McQueeg stepped on the Huckster’s lines, then Romney came out and stepped on McQueeg’s lines. Hahahahah, Romney just got in the last word as each stepped on the next guy’s speech.

Just on FOX, Romney’s camp knew McCain was about to speak and they sent him out there anyway.

And who takes a implied SWIPE at their opponent during their acceptance speech like Romney did to McCain tonight (with the inside Washington line)?

No class or graciousness whatsoever. And don’t expect to see anything like an apology either.

The way it was explained on Fox was that McCain’s aides were talking to Romney aides, but Mitt’s son introduced his father probably without the campaign’s go ahead. I doubt Mitt himself even knew McCain was speaking.

McCain showed very bad taste trying to preempt Romney’s victory speech by coming out just minutes before it was about to begin.

I noticed that as did thousands of other Americans, per Fox News.

I’m not a McCain supporter, but that is just another indicator of what a selfish, self-serving, self-centered, low-class punk Romney is.

Straight from The Corner:

“I’m told that the Romney campaign and the McCain campaign spoke tonight to arrange a time for McCain to give his concession and to allow Mitt Romney his opportunity to give the victory speech. I am told by a source sympathetic to McCain that after making the arrangement, Romney went ahead and spoke at the same time McCain was giving his, bumping him off the airwaves.

Jonah noticed the timing.

The words ‘no dignity, no class, and no couth’ are reverberating around the McCain camp tonight.”

Dang. I'm only 1 delegate behind Giuliani.

I'd be doing a happy dance, but Ron Paul is beating me by 2.

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.

PULLLLEEEEEEZZZEEE! It's never happened before. We have what is known today as "technology" and television to prevent things like this. It was just plain RUDE.

So, you’re saying Mitt was watching the news and saw MCCain giving his concession speech and then he walked out and gave his victory speech? Are you sure all the speeches were live?
Is it possible McCain or Huckabee’s speeches were recorded earlier and were being re-broadcast when Mitt came out and gave his?
