Romney Continues Assault on Democrats
Source: Associated Press

By PHILIP ELLIOTT

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took aim at Democratic rivals on Sunday, calling them all unprepared to lead the country and comparing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's economic plan to that of Socialist Karl Marx.

"It would be helpful to have a person leading the country who understands how the economy works and has actually managed something," the former Massachusetts governor told reporters after a GOP fundraiser. "In the case of the three Democratic front-runners, not one of them has managed even a corner store, let alone a state or a city."

Romney, who leads Republicans in New Hampshire, has focused his criticism in recent weeks on Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards rather than rival Republicans. It's a strategy he hopes will help him maintain his lead over Sen. John McCain and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

"I wanted to focus on the Democrats," he said. "By and large, the best way to further my interest is to let people know what I would do and to distinguish that from what the Democrats would do."

Wouldn't want to see that head of hair mussed up for nothing.

30. I think the dog on the roof story was in MSM

You know, the one where he made his dog ride on the roof on the long trip?
The one where the dog got so anxious that he had diarrhea that dripped down
the windows of the car? Yah, he sure knows how to manage things!

6. When they say Hispanic...I'd sure like to know what the breakdown
is. I know that Cubans overwhelmingly vote Republican, but I'm curious to know numbers that comprise "The Republican Hispanic Assembly".

7. I thought Romney was supposed to be a "Person of Faith?"
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 08:26 PM by FVZA_Colonel
"Hillary Clinton just gave a speech the other day about her view on the economy. She said we have been an on-your-own society. She said it's time to get rid of that and replace that with shared responsibility and we're-in-it-together society," Romney told the crowd. "That's out with Adam Smith and in with Karl Marx."


Seems to me an attitude towards society Jesus would support. Unless, of course, Romney is more concerned with keeping gays from getting married and women from having the right to choose then supporting the poor, the ill and the outcasts.

But that last part certainly couldn't be true...

20. The president manages the economy? Isn't that a socialist concept?
I thought in a market economy, a nation's citizens were free agents who traded goods and services with one another.

22. Romney is teetering on a "Macaca" moment
His highly publicized bouts of ignorance and bigotry are rapidly approaching those of the late, unlamented, George Allen.

29. That "Obama, Osama, Chelsea's Momma" sign took the cake
Not to mention of his distortion of Obama's position of sex education. The kindergarten portion was teaching children to report inappropriate touching, a curriculum that Romney himself had endorsed in the fair state of Massachusetts.

If it weren't for his money, Romney would be in single digits!

27. All blow and no go from a one term governor...
Edited on Tue Jul-24-07 05:32 PM by roamer65
who would not have been re-elected. I'd love him to see him get the Rethug nomination. I can already envision a TV ad with him saying he's pro-choice from 1994 against Teddy Kennedy, then him flip-floping in a recent speech. Then make the pictures from 1994 and now rotate on the TV screen...flip-flop.
