What I just said to a right-winger regarding Mitt's ducking out on THE VIEW:

"If Mitt shits his pants at the prospect of being questioned by Woopi Goldberg, he's probably not going to stand up to China on currency manipulation, Ahmedinejad on uranium enrichment, Putin on strategic arms limitations, or Wall Street on an unregulated Derivatives Market that wrecked our economy."


UPDATE:
Now that I think of it, I don't blame him. Woopie might have done what she did to Glenn Beck, and called him "a lying sack of dog mess." Better to hide behind your wife. That's certainly what I'D do!

to make a point - but after a second reading of your post, I would bet the farm that you are exactly right, that this statement is not exagerrated, and that EtchaSketch really would NOT stand up to these people.

but you want to know something? If elected, he will have the US Military in his pocket. Nothing scarier than a coward with firepower.

advisers when they told him to start invading random countries in the name of democracy and cheap oil, again. Eliot Abrams, Rumsfeld, Liz Cheney, Robert Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz... they'll all be running the U.S. foreign policy shop again like they'd never been gone, and Mitt's unlikely to second guess them on anything.

Thank goodness Obama (by firing McCrystall, for instance) has shown the capacity to think for himself.

he would be the first one starting another war. I agree with you in that he wouldn't stand up to them- he will be running right along with them. The rich always profit from war.

He is the kind of guy that would use a nuke when drones would do.

LOVE this!

"If Mitt shits his pants at the prospect of being questioned by Woopi Goldberg, he's probably not going to stand up to China on currency manipulation, Ahmedinejad on uranium enrichment, Putin on strategic arms limitations, or Wall Street on an unregulated Derivatives Market that wrecked our economy."

Needs to be Said, Read, and SPREAD!!!

And what response did you get? Did they remain in denial? Or did your comment make them stop and think for a moment?
