Mitt Romney: Obama an 'Internet date'

If WcCain and these clowns win I'm moving to Canada. I can barely stand to look at any of them, much less listen to them anymore.

Romney calling someone else a "flip-flopper" is laughable. What's wrong Mitty, didn't you pay attention to what your own failed presidential campaign was saying?

Name me ONE person on this planet who doesn't hold some sort of conflicting beliefs... I mean, c'mon, nobody repeats one stance from birth to death; you hardly can expect a politician to do so. Especially when it's such a controversial, both sides are grey, sort of issue.

Also, "And McCain's Spears-Hilton ad "really points out that he is a celebrity and a phenomenon, but not a leader.'' doesn't logically hold-up. He IS a celebrity, but I didn't see the part where being a celebrity proves that he cannot lead a country. What president isn't a celebrity? Or an egomaniac, for that matter. You sort of have to be full of yourself, to some degree, to believe you'd be the best candidate to lead an entire country.

I love Romney. He's one of the very few out there with enough of a spine to tell the media about the issues for what they really are. Romney is difficult to swallow from so many angles; you can't bribe him, he already has money and is as clean as a whistle as far as his life and family goes, you can't discredit him, he's educated and speaks his mind regardless of what others think, you can't play him down because he's a proven success in the free market economy, management, and government. I'm beginning to more fully understand why evangelical leaders hate him (he won't be bought, bullied, or forced into their political interests), media hates him because he highlights the truth for what it really is, and Democrats hate him because he a legitmate, charismatic threat to their political agenda. These Romney hate groups then try to spin Romney as an opportunist and panderer! Ha! I'm 1000% behind Romney as VP. We need more men like Romney in Washington.

I am so tired of the Republican machine resorting to elementary name calling. It says more about their character then it does about Obama's. Name calling only humors those that already support them. It turned me off enough that I will now vote Obama. At least I hear him talking about the issues.

Today Barack H. Obama came out in support of tapping the government''s strategic oil reserves.

Whatever the merit of the policy (and there isn't much merit to it), only one month ago Obama opposed that policy:

"I do not believe that we should use the strategic oil reserves at this point. I have said and, in fact, supported a congressional resolution that said that we should suspend putting more oil into the strategic oil reserve, but the strategic oil reserve, I think, has to be reserved for a genuine emergency. You have a situation, let's say, where there was a major oil facility in Saudi Arabia that was destroyed as a consequence of terrorist acts, and you suddenly had huge amounts of oil taken out of the world market, we wouldn't just be seeing $4-a-gallon oil. We could see a situation where entire sectors of the country had no oil to function at all. And that's what the strategic oil reserve has to be for." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Media Availability, St. Louis, MO, 7/7/08)

Note that the "terrorist attack" type of emergency that BHO said was the only thing to cause him to change his mind--hasn't happened. Yet he changed his mind anyway. or more accurately, he poked his finger into the wind to see how it was blowing.

Inexperience. Non-leadership. "Flip flopping you can believe in."

i love it how these people say Obama is not fit to be president, how they cfocus on Obama instead of telling us HOW McCain is QUALIFIED. McCain cant even run a civil campaign which he promised to run. he sinks to the Rove lows when he realizes his campaign is in trouble. sound familiar? he's no different than bush, and he's proven it. to me that translates into McCain not qualified to run the country. he's a liar and a cheat. i guess maybe that does qualify him to be president of the US . seeing as how most past presidents were liars and cheats.

Start packing mr middle, McCain is going to win by 7 points or more.

Obama is an empty suit leftists pore all there hopes and wishes into. The reality is he is just another chicago democrat.. corrupt to the core.

The hypocrital part is that McCAIN CHANGED, TOO. McCain didn't have his miraculous revelation until George W. BUST opened his mouth to distract Americans.

He is giving people false hope. Why would ANYONE want a leader like that? America is walking right back in to another BUST administration with their EYES WIDE OPEN. Amazing!!

America DESERVES John McCain!

Well stated Jash. The more emotional comments the liberals (and a choice few evangelical right wing bigots) make against Romney the better he looks. The man has rock solid experience and credentials. McCain is damn lucky to have him as an ally.

if Romney says that Obama is an internet date I can say lots of thing about him,one of them he is a coward along with his sons , not one of them served in the military ,but i guess it would be ok for Romney to send other young men to war

The Obama jokes keep on coming. Know what the shortest book in the world is? A list of Obama's experience and achievements. Know what the longest book in the world is? A list of Obama's misstatements, obfuscations, exaggerations, and flip-flops.

Isn't it funny how now that McCain is either tied or ahead of Obama in the polls that the liberal news networks don't refer to the polls anymore. They couldn't wait to share the polls when Obama was ahead. I think people are finally seeing through Obamas charade and are siding with McCain. Adding Romney to the ticket would be a win win because it would infuse some life and excitement back into the campaign and you would see the polls go even farther in McCains direction.

Hey Right Down the Mid,
Better start packing your bags!

Here's a thought for the McCain advisors:

In 2002, Mitt Romney led the Winter Olympics out of scandal and debt to success and surplus revenue and he donated his salary. Romney was raised with core values that naturally breed success and everything in his character illustrates his desire to serve the greater good and not self interests. His father instilled those values and Mr. Romney carries the torch to his progenitors. The jealousy and resentment for anyone who formulates honest success in this country runs rampant. It continues to amaze me how true integrity can be painted with such a flippant-dubiousness brush as something else so easily. Most people view the world through the glasses of their own paradigm and, unfortunately few understand what motivates Mitt Romney until they possess such altruism themselves.

Mitt Romney is the right choice for John McCain as Vice President.

Here's a possibility worth considering: I understand that Romney plans to attend the Summer Olympics in China. What better time for McCain to announce Romney as his Vice Presidential choice. Media will push for interviews that, if granted, Romney will probably acknowledge the nod and, with grace, turn the focus back to the importance of the Games that he knows all too well.
It would be a correlating announcement with worldwide interest and a very appropriate answer to Obama's Public Relations tour.

In December 1966, when John McCain requested his first combat assignment in Vietnam, Barack Obama turned 5 years old and was enjoying the freedoms a child should enjoy.

As Obama turned 7, McCain had survived a burning jet fire on the USS Forrestal and had just flown his 23rd bombing mission over communist North Vietnam.

In 1973, as Obama reached age 12, McCain was finally released from a prisoner-of-war camp in the Hanoi Hilton.

At age 15, when Obama was still in high school, McCain became the commanding officer of a Naval Training Squadron in Florida. He turned a poorly managed military unit into a distinguished, combat-ready team.

When Obama reached the legal age of 21 and was experimenting with pot and cocaine, McCain declined an admiral promotion and ran for and was elected to Congress.

By 1987, Obama was a young man of 25 and McCain had assumed the office of senator from Arizona (after a successful four-year tour in the U.S. House of Representatives).

At age 36, Obama looked on as Sen. McCain was named one of Time magazine's 25 most influential people in America.

Whom do we choose as our next leader? Do we choose a man with proven military and political achievements, or a man with little experience other than a stint as a community leader and junior senator? Decisions, decisions!

RightDowntheMiddle. I hear there are some pretty nice houses in and around Toronto. If you have a couple of mil to spend. Good luck, We will miss you, not.

Joseph, wasn't Obam old enough to join during the Gulf War. Gee where the He** was he basking in the sun?

Man, the GOP is doing a great job of showing everyone that Barrack is an empty suited fool that has accomplished nothing in life. And yes, I'd gladly compare my life accomplishments to his.

I've spent many years watching McCain and first knew of him from his many appearances as a History Channel spokesman. He was sincere, original, and a bit maverick. I would have voted for him in 2000.

In the last 2 years, I've watched as he has sold off pieces of himself to various interest groups and forgot or ignored promises at a whim.

Yes, he served our country once very well... but he is not that man anymore. He's become someone else --- someone I would be scared of to have as President.

Romney said>"There really has not been an inspection of what he stands for and what he'd do for the country.'' ******that is the single most important and accurate thing I've read in all these swamp sites yet.

Liberman's party tried to throw him out for working across the aisle. Obama has been said to be the most LIBERAL Senator of them all, and there is no record in that which would show he is, as he brags, good at bringing people together and working across the aisle. Look at McCain's record>it shows he's worked with others to get the job done.

We just posted audio from the interview at Entertonement.

Wouldn't you really like to know what Obama stands for? I mean, before the polls say he should 'refine' his position. I frankly find his indecisiveness in the past and his decisions-all-over-the-place in the present may prove ominous for his decisiveness (or lack thereof) in the future. Is this a deliberate strategy? To be an empty suit means we can just fill-er-up with whatever we are looking for?

Wasn't Ronald Regan an actor and a celebrity and the Republicans believe he was a pretty good president!

Laughable. Obama does three times the speeches that McCain does to inform voters of who he is and what he stands for and Romney and other Repugs say that he has not been inspected? No, McCain is the one that needs to be inspected. His policies are aligned with Bush, the worst President in history and we do not need an encore.

Paula-President Reagan was a succesful actor. He was Governor of California from elections he won in 1966 to 1975. He ran TWO TIMES for president and LOST. He came back a third time and one, and then won a second term.

You aren't trying to say you are comparing Obama's tiny bit of experience in office as a Senator (what was it, three years) to Ronald Reagan's experience, were you? Now, he might be able to claim he can out act but I would have to point to his dismal numbers in the poll to disagree.

Side note-they thought Reagan was to old to win, but he did two terms as President.

You guys who drink Romney kool-aid are insane - the man was Pro Abortion in Massachusetts - in other words, the devout Mormon bishop didn't care about his Mormon beliefs then now, did he? Oh, then the 'devout' Missionary allowed Massachusetts to become the first Pro-Gay Marriage state in the U.S. Then while running for President he ditched immediately his 'oh so personal beliefs' on family issues.
Clean as a whistle? How about the LA TImes revealing his company, Bain, was registered overseas to avoid taxes! Yep, Cayman Islands - oh what a patriot! The company didn't research and develop anything either - it was a leveraged buyout scam that stripped companies of their assets, laid off the workers, and pocketed the cash - tax free (LA Times).
Oh ya - Pro Torture. That's right - the Chinese Water Torture was 'Amen' - all right to Fibster MIttler; problem is, Gen Douglas MacArthur said that he would go to the ends of the earth to prosecute anybody who waterboarded someone.
Then the Varmitt Romler said that he would double or triple the size of Guantanimo - is he planning concentration camps?
Patriots should be aware and be against this slick suited Amway salesman. He even reads Scientologist Hubbard's books for fun...

Is that why Blackwater Security, which murdered people on the streets of Baghdad and tortured them in Abu Graib were volunteering in MIttler's campaign? That's right.
So you see, this man is about as squeaky clean as Adolph - or Goebbels. That's not good folks, that's scarey, very scarey....a man who lied every day in his campaign, impugned his fellow Republicans with telemarketing slams, talked about his dad marching with Martin Luther King - then it turned out to be 'marching in his imagination' - a 'kind of marching,' Flipster Mummy inferred.
'Nuff said. If you go for this guy, you're in danger of losing your soul...

I looked up the information on Romney and the religious rights anger over ENDA, but I all I found on it's current status is below. Anyone know what happened with that? I am assuming that he is being criticized for ENDA which the right back at that time said would opened a door for Gay Marriage....did ENDA actually pass, when???
*ENDA received it's second reading in the Senate on 11/13/2007, but no action has been taken. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), its lead sponsor in the Senate, has said he hopes to bring the House-passed version to the Senate floor for a vote sometime in 2008.

News Flash!!!
Romney throwing stones for the Republicans....what a joke!!! Please read the earlier post by: Sgt Gumboot | August 6, 2008

I have respect for Senator McCain for all that he's been through and accomplished, BUT HE IS TOO OLD to now become the President of the US. How many times did he run for the Republican nomination before he got the nod?

The moral of this election is: "Ye who hangs around long and/or lives long enough, can become the eventual nominee"

Stephen-they said the same about Ronald Reagan. He was 69 at the time he first ran and then won the Presidency. Then, and people forget this, he ran for a second term, around the age of 72 or 73.

I don't think age has anything to do with it. I know enough about BO that I would not trust him with my life. I reject his Marxist/Socialist ideas.

I heard Romney discuss the different version of the English Bible once and differences between them (he liked the 1611 KJV best). His understanding of the Bible is profound. What drives evangelicals crazy is not that Mormons don't believe or understand the Bible, it's that they do both.
