Mitt Romney at fundraiser: ‘Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace’
Washington Post ^ | September 18 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 09/18/2012 7:04:36 AM PDT by PghBaldy

Mitt Romney told a private audience of campaign donors in May that the Middle East peace process is “an unsolved problem” and likely unattainable because the Palestinian people have no interest in establishing peace with Israel. The Republican presidential candidate also blamed President Obama for “an extraordinarily naive perception” that some of the world’s most notorious dictators will sit down and talk to him about their differences.

This is the same fundraiser as the 47% comment, apparently.

Romney spoke of "the Palestinians" as a united bloc of one mindset, and he said: "I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there's just no way."

They don’t recognize the legitimate existence of Israel as a nation. That’d seem to be a starting point for peace.

Once again, Romney ‘leaks’ reveal the truth.

Obama leaks? Clinging to guns and Bibles and he can do what he wants in his second term to undermine American defense.

Which does the MSM cover...?

Hmmm.....ANOTHER Truthism from Romney....would he only voice it during his campaign appearances and in debate.

You can’t win by disguising the truth in watered-down half attempts for the same reason that sugar-coating a turd won’t do anything.

If the most dirt the media can find on Romney is that when in private groups, he talks like a conservative, then he’s in better shape than all of us thought!

Hey.....as a conservative, this gives me hope that Romney may have a clue after all. Instead of writing in Congressman Alan West, I may actually vote for him.

Go Romney damn it don’t worry about the Palestinian terrorist vote, shove all these quotes down Obama’s throat!

And now definitely ask for the tape of Obama saluting some terrorist and denouncing Israel to be released! The press is hiding that one.

Anyone peeing their panties out there over Romney dissing the entitlement state and the palestinians who have fostered the likes of Arafat, get over it and buck up.

Is this guy more conservative then he is letting on? I mean first the tax/moocher comment. Now this speaking plainly and honestly about the Palestinians! I mean bro, if this is how you really feel.....stop being so damn PC. I wonder what else he says to people in private that is different from our perceptions of him?

The more I hear, the more I like!

What the presstitutes don't get is that this is a "base" election - whoever turns out their side wins. Nothing Romney has done to date will be as effective in turning out conservatives as these supposedly damaging leaks. The presstitutes are hung on their own petard!

_____

Probably, however the fact that MSM and the left are so enraged surely proves that “the Truth really hurts sometimes”.

Heard on Fox today these are being released by Jimmy Carter’s grandson, angry over Romney dissing his grandpappy.

Are you going to let that idiot leftist disgrace of an ex president get in our way?? Hell no.
