“Look, it’s not something I’m going to whine about,” Romney whined.”

“Look, it’s not something I’m going to whine about,” Romney added.

And then he proceeds to whine about it.

Mitt after the crap you pulled with Cain and Newt all I have to say is
POT MEET KETTLE, KETTLE MEET POT

Or a more succinct translation: KMA you RINO clymer!

“Look, it’s not something I’m going to whine about,” Romney "whined".

There, I fixed it.

Apparently Mittykins can’t laugh at himself.

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

Not something he’s “going to wine about”? Then Romney proceeds... to wine? OK! If we want a winer in the Whitehouse we’ll just keep the current occupant. (Ugh! Did I just say that?)

Mitt is right on one score — using humor to ridicule your opponent is the most effective way to go negative. Santorum’s Rombo ad may not be the most negative ad of the season, but it is very effective — and innoculates Santorum against Mitt’s negative ads.

Mitt needs to take notes, not whine.

(Why don’t more politicians use humor? Making Obama a joke is the most effective way to attack Obama.)

He serves sleaze with his whine.

Since he's never seen the ad's his PACs run against his opponents, and most of his opponents haven't had the money to run many ads against him, he's probably telling the truth.

And for that reason my respect for Santorum has grown. Mitt has been nasty, Obama- like.

When I saw that Hannity was going to give Mitt a platform to whine from, I simply turned the TV off and went back to reading a good book.

Hannity has turned into a little girl and I really don’t like his format at all anymore (not that I liked it much back when he still dealt with issues in a manly way).

It’s this childish fascination with rumor and gossip that is ruining our political system and honorable journalists should be campaigning AGAINST it, not actively participating in it.

And this was after having listened to BOR’s opening monologues, being faintly impressed and agreeing to stay on, only to be visually assaulted with the proverbially mendacious and contumacious Marc Lamont Hill, alleged PhD from Temple. One sneer from that fatuous face and it was ‘CLICK’!

Most Negative add ever? I just watched it, it was silly, caused a giggle, and that was about it. Romney getting all bent out of shape after running a barrage of negative adds against Cain, Gingrich and now Santorum is just ridiculous. If anyone looks like a whiner it is Romney.

The correct response from Romney should have been, "is that all you've got?" or "if it was me shooting I would have scored hits." But instead he gets all whiny. What a stinking RINO dud.

Of course, Romney doesn’t have any idea what ads HIS superPACs are running. That’s part of his “blind trust”.

I would make a star wars themed ad showing Mitt dressed as Darth Vader telling a crowd “I am my father” and then have a narrator remind the viewer that Mitt isn’t his father and shouldn’t try to run on his father’s legacy of success. It slaps Mitt at the same time it’s fairly friendly to George Romney.

You could do a whole series of them.

Another could show Mitt dressed as Obi Wan saying “This is the Romney you’re looking for” and the narrator warning the viewer to not allow Romney tricks to fool you.

Such a hypocrite-and not true (the most negative is his slander of Newt—along with the collusion of the psuedo-conservative MSM).

“the most negative ad I’ve seen, so far,”

Well that’s because he goes out of his way to not see the ads produced by his own PAC. It’s a typical politician’s idea of being honest.

Santorum and Newt shouldn’t even respond to this. Stay on point and get their message out. Stay on the offense, not defense.
