You know what I would love to see right now? Someone from this administration publicly tell Romney

[jillan]

to shut his f*cking mouth concerning Chen Guangcheng.

To tell Romney that he needs to butt out, that he has no clue what is going on behind the scenes, and that politics needs to stop at the waters end. Especially while our Sec of State is there.
I'm certain that this is a delicate situation and Romney does not know what he is talking about.


I know it's just a wish - but how I wish someone would shut Romney up on issues like this.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Romney's latest bs ->

1. I could not agree more!

Mittens needs a healthy dose of STFU!

[jillan]

2. Seriously - he runs his mouth all of the time, but this is one time he needs to shut up.

Right now he is no more than a citizen of the US. He has no access to foreign relations issues.

[lpbk2713]

3. But mittens can see global diplomacy from his front porch!

Or maybe from his car elevator.

BWAHAHAHA

[Lionessa]

4. I can't agree. Free speech and I'm okay with him freely speeching his inanity, I don't

see how it hurts anyone but him. Of course I'm a thinking human, I guess many of his followers may not be, but still, I don't think he should be silenced, just not okay.

[jillan]

6. I agree with you 100% except in matters of foreign relations that are playing out as the comments

are being said.

If Romney wants to blast President Obama's handling of this after this has been settled - fine.
But not while negotiations are going on.

It's like you don't scream fire when you are in a crowded movie theater.

It's just not right, imho.

[Lionessa]

7. Comparing this to yelling fire is a stretch at best.

I'm sure you know as many others here do, that I'm not a huge fan of Obama's, but evenso I have no doubt that he and SoS Clinton are so able to handle this issue whether Romney's making a fool of himself or not.

[jillan]

9. Lionessa, I hope you know that the example of yelling fire was

just to show there are times when free speech needs to be reigned in, and that's where the comparison stops.

I, too, have faith in Hillary.

[Lionessa]

12. You're claiming that there is a reasonable comparison relating to free speech, I'm saying it's

a far stretch to claim any rational comparison between Romney's comments and yelling fire. I agree yelling fire needs to be reigned in, I do not agree that Romney needs to be. I don't hold to that whole "patriotic" behavior bullcrap. It manipulated a hell of a lot of Dems into voting for approval of a lot of questionable stuff, like wars we shouldn't be in, liberties thrown out, privacy a complete illusion anymore,. . . .

Yeah, I don't want anyone telling me I have to watch my comments because it might interfere by way of being not patriotic enough. Haven't we had enough of that meme?

[Pirate Smile]

5. I'm hoping this also makes Bill Clinton furious and want to completely nail Romney's ass in the

election.

[Auntie Bush]

8. I'm laughing AT Mitt. What a jerk!

So he loves America. What a snob!
He loves the fact that a fugitive used our embassy! Wow! How special!
I guess he thought that use unusual!
He also loves the height of trees in Iowa.

This is the man who knew nothing of the details about killing Osama...but he knew he'd have done the same thing...even though SoD Gates didn't approve along with others. But smarty pants Etch-A-Sketch KNEW he'd have done it.
Yeah! He doesn't even know if he's for or against every ReThug issue... How would he ever make a decision on foreign policy?

I can just hear him:
Go get Osama! Kill him!
No don't...it's too dangerous
OK...got new information...Go get him now.
No don't! Mission might fail and I'd be blamed...like Carter.
Wait...Don't kill him, take him hostage.
Screw it...kill him
Wait... I have to ask Ann
Scrub the mission...Ann wants to be sure she's first Lady and not Carterized.
What...They say I'm a flip-flopper!
What the hell does Ann and Gates know?
Final decision! Kill him! Ahh wait....Oh go ahead!

See America...I can make tough decisions. I would have made the same decision as Obama! Lookie here...I'm just as good as Obama on foreign
affairs. Elect me and I haven't decided yet.

[jillan]

10. Lol.... I just had a mental picture in my mind of Mitt and Ann in the Situation Room.

[lob1]

13. Ann would be wearing a $1,000 camo tee shirt.

[usrname]

15. Actually, he'll say

whatever his handlers will tell him to say.

[Bolo Boffin]

11. I can't even find that Mitt Romney knew who Chen Guangcheng was until four days ago.

Much less given him two seconds' thought.

[Cali_Democrat]

14. That would be nice

That smug POS needs to STFU!
