"I don’t think Barack Obama’s a socialist. I think a lot of his policies are inspired by the pathway [that] Europe took. "

What the hell kind of government does ol' Mitt think they have in Europe? It's socialist.

The other poster was right, I sure hope ol' Mitt doesn't have an future GOP aspirations...his actions of late show him to be a genuine RINO. I guess he thinks if more than one wife at a time is OK, then more than one party at a time is ok too.

Methinks Mitt is pushin’ for a cushy spot in the Obama administration. Wouldn’t shock me in the least.

With that kind of talk Romney can kiss his future political aspirations goodbye.

But then again, Romney and his minions probably don't think the United Order was Socialistic.

Naah, he can just officially rejoin the Democrat party, whose Socialist goals and officials he has consistently demonstrated a committment to advancing.

No wonder Cato Institute rated him a “C” on his financial governance of the Bay State. Lest astute than folks give him credit for.

To be fair, I don't think McCain would have said Obama is a socialist, either.

In his attacks on Gov. Palin (he hates women)
and Sen McCain )(long-standing since last year),
shape-shifting Myth Romney makes the betraying leper look good.


"You will embrace this rebellion. Support it, from our lands in
the north. I will gain English favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."

Romney was rated a "C" overall by Cato, also because he betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.

As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Mitt the twit is himself a socialist, what with his Massachusetts Health Care for all plan. He is also a slimeball. He is running for 2012, I guess. I think he must comb his hair with one of those switch-blade combs and an industrial tub of brylcreem.

sounds like the Mitt is cruising for a “bipartisan” appointment in the new cabinet of the Great One if it occurs. This is probably if it occurs be a cabinet of carpet baggers aka elists snots from NE or Chicago or Hollywood only and/or Ivy Leaguers since the rest of us are too stupid and cling to our guns, Bibles and way of life and have to be coddled and nannied not realizing they are only balkanizing the USA even more and act like a bunch of racist pieces of shi*t.

Hey, Mitt... Europe is socialist.

I don't know what socialism is supposed to mean now, but when Mitt was in school back in the 1960s it was assumed that socialism meant state ownership of the means of production. By that standard Europe isn't socialist. By Marx's or Lenin's or Castro's or Chavez's standard it isn't socialist either.
