Presidential hopeful addresses area GOP

News Staff Reporter And The Associated Press

GREEN OAK TOWNSHIP -- Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney started a two-day campaign swing through Michigan by accusing Democrats of surrendering in the Iraq war.

Romney said the United States must defeat the Islamic jihad movement, and that President Bush will do whatever it takes to protect the American people.

"When we're dealing with nations of the world, we stand united,'' Romney said Friday night at the Livingston County Lincoln Day Dinner at the Barnstormer Banquet Center on M-36 in Green Oak Township.

1. Does anyone but the deluded buy this crap anymore?
Actually having a plan is inexplicably wrong, but not having a plan and doing the same thing over and over again is right? It is just "stay the coarse" rhetoric with surrender thrown in for spice.

2. Mitt too?
I've read that about Rudy but not really about Mitt. I suppose all that time he spent in France trying to convert them to Mormonism kept his number out of lottery.

4. "defeat the Islamic jihad movement"
can these guys really not appreciate the absolute idiocy of that expression? I mean, really! They have been to college, most of them can walk and chew gum at the same time. And yet they spout this quixotic nonsense as if it were a rallying cry to go win the superbowl or something.

7. I guffaw every time I hear, "Islamo-fascists."
Not only is it not fascism, which is when corporations run the country (like what we have, pretty much), but using Islamic as an adjective in this case is completely incorrect.

If they wanted to be more truthful, they'd call them Muslim-theologists, but, you see, that doesn't have that "oomph," that savoir faire, that they're looking for when corralling the sheeple.

5. the boys who cried 'woof'!
this punk can stack the deck on his private ss titanic all he wants, but he's only pointing a big, cartoony arrow at himself, like a balloon tied to a dunce, everywhere he goes. Go bush!
this is from Saturday's Salon:
snip>
It was prohibited for awhile to describe the work of the deceitful little neoconservative cabal in Washington which was at the center of the administration's efforts to knowingly churn out pure falsehoods in order to justify the invasion of Iraq -- an invasion which (Tenet is but the latest figure to reveal) was desired and planned by Dick Cheney and friends long before the 9/11 attacks.
<snip>
Taken together, these two seemingly unconnected incidents reveal: (a) just how radical, extremist and dishonest are the people who have been running this country for the last six years, the whole Bush-led neoconservative Republican edifice loyally supported by most of the "conservative" movement, and (b) outside of the hard-core Bush followers and the stuck-in-2002 Beltway media establishment, there is a rapidly growing recognition of (a) in this country, which is beginning to engender a very potent sea change in political opinion and political power.

Edited on Sun Apr-29-07 08:13 AM by SpiralHawk
Are all the republicons chickenhawks?

No wonder they regularly screw over our troops, and trash talk our honorable American veterans.

No wonder most people recognize that republicons are lacking in honor...
