Is Mitt Romney the biggest moron in this presidential race?
Romney said his father had told him he had marched with King and that he had been using the word "saw" in a "figurative sense."

"If you look at the literature, if you look at the dictionary, the term 'saw' includes being aware of in the sense I've described," Romney told reporters in Iowa. "It's a figure of speech and very familiar, and it's very common. And I saw my dad march with Martin Luther King. I did not see it with my own eyes, but I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort."

:rofl: :rofl:

7. Huckabee said ..... unable to control Pakistan’s “eastern borders”
Huckabee and geography ..... not so much.

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/28/huckabee-pakistan /

Forced to respond to the tragic assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has spent the last 24 hours constantly fumbling and apologizing for his cluelessness and incompetence on a key foreign policy issue.

This morning on MSNBC, Huckabee said that Musharraf was unable to control Pakistan’s “eastern borders” with Afghanistan:

People who questioned my view of foreign policy probably need go back and read the speech that i delivered back in Washington in September. … We have seen what happens in the Musharraf government. He has told us he does not have enough control of those eastern borders near Afghanistan to be able go after the terrorists. But on the other hand, did he not want us going in so what do we?

3. At one point
in time, he also claimed that he had marched with his father and Martin. Perhaps he didn't realize that people might check.

5. Thats not all
Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: "My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."

9. Two more quotes
"We've had, if you will, the first inning of a game that has, let's say, 50 innings in it."

"This points out again the extraordinary reality of global, violent, radical Jihadism. We don’t know who is responsible for this attack, but there's no question but that the violence that we see throughout the world is violence which is not limited to Iraq and Afghanistan, but is more global in nature."

10. Yeah. Another definition for saw.
A tool with serrated edges designed to cut things, usually wood. I can saw a piece of wood in two pieces. Maybe that's what Romney meant. Or maybe not. But the biggest moron? Wow, I give the nod to Giuliani, but it's a wide open race. Thompson, Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, just pick one for "biggest moron" and you can't really miss.

11. One thing I don't think repugs
understand is the tubes in the internets. You can look up anything they say and find out if it is true or not....and they keep saying all the same stuff. Giuliani is the worst, but they are all really reprehensible.

12. Kinda like his five sons fighting in a "figurative sense."
I can't wait for his Ken Doll ass to be trounced in SC, even if it means Huckleberry or McCain.
