Romney dings Time list, Palin
Politico ^ | May 3, 2009 | Ben Smith

Posted on 05/03/2009 12:16:30 PM PDT by Al B.

Mitt Romney, left off Time's list of the 100 most influential people, takes a jab at the list and, by extension, the Republicans on it. [Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin]

Romney jokingly suggesting in an interview with CNN's John King that they'd been included for looks, not influence:

[...]

ROMNEY: John, I'd like to have a lot more influential Republicans. I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that would suggest. But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people? I'm not sure. If it's the most beautiful, I understand. We're not real cute.

The title of the article is why I don’t totally trust Politico.

Another reason why I can’t stand Mitt Romney. No wonder he couldn’t even beat McCain in the primaries

I don’t really like Romney, but I don’t think he was taking a shot at Limbaugh or Palin there.

or the most influential

Mitt's mad that his buyout of the Republican Party is not yet recognized by the world.

Does he really have to express an opinion on either Rush or Sarah?
Not in my book. Especially Rush who is a private citizen.

Romney wasn’t any more influential than Huckabee. If he hadn’t had the money, the looks, and the head start he’d be no where politically. I hope both of those characters even though my opinion of Huckabee has improved my opinion of Romney is simple. “Where’s the beef?” He has given some good speeches but at the end of the day his record is weak. He should run for Senate or Congress and prove his metal.

Spoiler Romney: "I'll get you, my pretties, for not chosing me."

Interesting he’s stepping on Palin again. This Romney behavior has been a hot topic on FR recently.

Now we’ll see how it takes for someone to come on this thread and call us all liars, bigots, and hatemongers because we don’t find Romney’s comments appropriate.

LOL. Particulary hilarious coming from Slick Willard with the shiny hair. Of course his fan club isn’t at all concerned about his “looks”.

But now that Romney admitted that he hasn’t any looks... what has he going for him? His liberal record?

Romney is showing not only poor judgment here, but a bit of hostility that is not appealing.

That’s a laugh, Malibu Ken complaining about people being judge on looks.

Well, I’m sure when Myth and the other RINOs succeed in destroying the GOP that TIME will be duly impressed.

It's getting tougher and tougher to find news outlets that swoon over Myth isn't it?

People need to understand Mitt Romney is probably a pretty good guy in person. He takes views that are expedient to his acceptance. I do not see any passion emanating from this man.

Go swoon over Palin (and that’s not a knock of Palin).
