Romney: Clinton did ‘elevate’ Democratic convention
http://news.yahoo.com ^ | September 8, 2012 | Oliver Knox

Posted on 09/08/2012 4:37:33 PM PDT by NKP_Vet

Mitt Romney says Bill Clinton's speech to the Democratic National Convention "really did elevate" that gathering and that the former two-term president might even be able to win another four years in the White House "if the Constitution weren't in his way." Romney's comments, in an excerpt of an interview with Meet the Press, came as Clinton prepared to campaign for President Barack Obama in key swing states.

Does this idiot want to win or not. Sounds to me like he's ready to vote for Obama. He was viciously attacked by Obama and Clinton, and so was Paul Ryan. Instead of standing up for himself and calling Clinton a lying opportunist, that inspite of what he says about Obama, really despises him, instead says Clinton is the greatest thing since peanut butter. Willard is on the take for Obama, the exact same way McAmnesty was. Why should anyone get excited over this character? He wants to lose.

Fokk! I feel like I’m living is a parallel universe where both candidates are trying to lose. Zero has his people deny God 3 times in the most public way and then Wrongney heaps praise on the rapist that’s supporting his opponent.

As Jim Traficant used to say “Beam me up!”

I guess whoever wins in November, it won’t be the American people.

I was going to hold my nose and reluctantly vote for Wrongney but now I’m seriously tempted to skip it and just drink heavily instead. Wrongney has to do a lot of work in the next 2 months to try to earn my vote back. I went from hating him to only sort-of-disliking him to hating him again.

Why do so many politicians suck?!?

I view that as "damning with faint praise".

He can only cast one vote. What are you talking about?

This is why its so important to put good solid conservatives in the house and senate.

Good luck with that.

I think 99.99% of them are phonies. They say they are conservative, but put them in office and you find out they’re liberals.

You know the DNC is in the sewer when they need the impeached Slick Willie to “elevate” them.

Rather than point out the hypocracy of the RATs claiming the Repubs have a “war on women” while having a sexual harasser, serial adulterer, perjurer, and probable rapist give a key speech at their convention, he goes out of his way to compliment the biggest sc*mbag in politics.

I also can’t see a problem with this. Compared to the other commies who spoke at the convention, Clinton was a slight improvement. I’d take two hours of Bill over ten minutes of Fluke or Warren.

You have to understand that Romney IS Bill Clinton. Politically, these are the exact same people in their beliefs and tactics. They are both thoroughly dishonest and have absolutely no principles they won't sacrifice if they think it will help them politically. So it's not surprising he'd praise them. What remains surprising is that the primary voters picked this barf bucket over Newt Gingrich, a brilliant, truly conservative candidate and a fearless campaigner with a track record of success.

“I was going to hold my nose and reluctantly vote for Wrongney”

Me too. But now I think I will write in Homer Simpson like I did in 2008. Although I kinda like that Turtle Man character on TV too.

Dole, McCain, and Romney. Rinos can never win because they lose their base to accommodate the left every time.

FReepers are quick to defend the RINO Romney
who PRAISED Clinton, and went AGAINST conservatives.

From the article:
“Romney also knocked Republican congressional
leaders for making “a big mistake”
by agreeing to the so-called “sequester” —
automatic spending cuts to social programs
and the military set to kick in at year’s end,
the price of failure to reach a sweeping
deficit-cutting deal.”

If the article is accurate,
Romney is already on the DNC side for Clinton
AND also against fiscal conservatives.

I’m following the self-appointed experts on Twitter (Goldberg, York, etc). And basically the Romney strategy for the fall is to persuade undecided (’08 Obama) voters and not make them feel stupid (for voting for the marxist).

It’s a risky strategy and has the potential to turn off the base as much as it lures squishy indies. I am not convinced at all that this will work. By not attacking Obama you allow him to become the nice guy who is given a couple extra swings at the ball - and maybe four more years. It’s the exact opposite of the Tea Party ‘10 strategy to frame Obama as a far left ideologue, which worked.

That's pretty much impossible to do if your presidential candidate is a bad one and loses. The coattail effect if Obama wins will wipe out Republican chances of gaining the Senate and could lose the house. That's why it's so important to put good solid conservatives on your presidential ticket.

Do you have a clue that one of either Obama or Romney will be elected on election day? If that is understood, HOW STUPID AND CLUELESS CAN YOU BE TO BE BASHING THE ONLY PERSON WITH ANY CHANCE OF DEFEATING THE MARXIST?! WHAT A CLUELESS IDIOT YOU ARE@!

Which is a shockingly stupid political statement by Romney since his running mate Paul Ryan voted for that “mistake,” and the AP article helpfully points that out. Now the media can play up the “civil war within the Republican party” again just like they did when the RNC went after Akin. And we will once again be distracted from attacking the Demoncrats.
