Mitt Romney Cheered in Poland, Endorsed by Walesa

WARSAW, POLAND — Fresh from a warm embrace from iconic Polish leader Lech Walesa, Mitt Romney will wrap up a three-country trip overseas Tuesday with a major speech that he hopes will send a message that he's tough and more willing to take a harder line with rogue nations than President Barack Obama is.

Romney arrived in Warsaw late Monday after a day in Gdansk, where he enjoyed the most enthusiastic reception of his six-day trip, which was marred by controversies at the first two stops, in London and Jerusalem. He was greeted in Gdansk by crowds that swarmed in the streets, though some were apparently there for an arts festival and one group held a 10-foot-long banner supporting Romney's primary rival for the GOP presidential nomination, Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.

...

Poland and many other countries will certainly do their best to help the U.S. restore its leadership position," said Walesa, a former president of Poland who last year refused to meet with the visiting Obama.

"After our conversation I am quite confident that you will be quite successful in doing that," Walesa assured Romney. "Individuals who have struggled all our lives really favor the kinds of views and perspectives that you share."

He repeatedly said he wished Romney success.

"I wish you to be successful because this success is needed to the United States, of course, but to Europe and the rest of the world, too. Gov. Romney, get your success - be successful," Walesa said emphatically.

If LW knew how many communists there were over here, he’d puke his perogies.

If Walesa figured out who Romney is, he probably would decide not to vacation in this country filled with deluded people who swap between liars for their leaders.

I'll bet Walesa wishes he was as smart as you.

Here locally this endorsement was reported as such:

“Some good news for Romney as he stumbles through what was supposed to be a statesman like trip overseas.....But even that was overshadowed by what he said in Israel earlier today.”

Oh, and they just loved Cheney beating up Palin yesterday. They couldn't play that enough.

Do not engage in unsolicited and unwelcome pings to me. Only my friends do that, and you’re not in that category.

>> A few people here on FR have been bashing Romney for going to Poland.

Some Romney critics can differentiate good deeds from the depraved decisions of the past.

"That's the man I really like", said Lech Walesa.

"Always loyal (and faithful) with one (and the same) wife, five children and this all resembles my family so much and makes us very close indeed", added Lech Walesa.

Responding to your post and your tattle: Your warning is duly noted.

Your response indicates that I have won the debate.

Thank you for caving and thank you for NOT calling me FRiend. I feel the same way about you.,

Wise up girl, it's not "tattling" to make the mods aware of a poster engaging in unwanted pings. Use your brain before you start pinging people and you won't have any problems, so deal.

"I have won the debate"

What a load of horse pucky. You couldn't win a debate if you had cue cards flashed in front of your silly face.

I never once considered referring to you as a 'FRiend', true FRiends don't tell lies about FReepers 'despising' someone when they know it's not true. FRiends do not scream in cap letters when their two-digit IQ can't come up with any substantial response that makes any sense.

Adios sucka.

Oh? Is that right? Will Mittens buy out Jim Robinson and then have all the conservatives banned from the forum, so you guys can circle jerk each other about how Mittens is the next Ronald Reagan and not the dirty, filthy liar that he is?

It’s one thing to vote for him. It’s another thing to sell your soul.

I’ll bet you enjoy licking the hand that feeds you! May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were once an American!

The day the conservative movement began embracing liars and thieves as their leaders, and enforcing their own thought police on these facts, is the day it lost. Hmmm, maybe we lost a long time ago in that case.

That Sam Adams knew how to turn a phrase. You should at least credit him if youre gonna quote him.

Not sure what the rest of your post means.

“Let me help both of you with that one... no, he’s not.
Good god.”


Hope and Change and mindless pawns voting for their Messiah, without knowing who he is, isn’t just a leftist phenomena anymore.

LOL, yeah, because obviously no one knows anything about Sam Adams except maybe you from one of your vague memories. Spoken like a good Mittbot who demands we all conform, but can’t explain how their political choices will give us any temporal salvation.

This whole mess, you know, has come upon us because conservatives apparently trust in their elected leaders and the political process moreso than they do in God. That is the only conclusion I can come up with when people get mad just because we point out Mittens is a liar and Statist.

You’re looking for love in all the wrong places!

Should I credit that one too, Mittbot?

Still don't know what the hell you're talking about, though I'm sure I should feel insulted.

Lets just leave it there then, OK?
