Charles Krapphammer on Romney's Gaffes: UNBELIEVABLE, BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, INCOMPREHENSIBLE




"...Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer slammed Mitt Romney over his unfortunate remarks about the London Olympics on Thursday night.


On Thursday's "Special Report," Krauthammer launched into a rant about Romney's Olympics comment. "It's unbelievable, it's beyond human understanding, it's incomprehensible. I'm out of adjectives," he lamented.

a truly despicable neocon quasi-fascist, thinks you have fucked up in a colossal way, you have truly fucked up in a colossal way. Didn't KKKarl say pretty much the same thing?

I don't know what's more pathetic, Romney, Krauthammer , or Fox for thinking anybody cares what people think of Romney or Krauthammer.

There was nobody on the Republican side this year who would have been a good choice.

And as others pointed out, not only does the GOP not have any really viable candidates, Romney may already be locked in anyhow.

Remember 2008? Dozens of Republicans were flooding out of the basement to run against Clinton. They saw her as a vulnerable, easy target, and they were right - thanks in large part to over a decade of Republican demonization of her, rather than do to any actual weakness as a candidate, mind.

As soon as it became clear Obama had cinched the nomination, all the Republicans dropped out in rapid succession, leaving McCain as the "last man standing." He then spent the rest of the campaign sabotaging himself at every turn.

The same thing happened in '96, with Dole.

These are the "under the bus" candidates, throwaways who aren't supposed to win, because the republicans don't think there's any actual chance of winning the presidency. Why not run the weakest candidate they have, instead of squandering their 2016 prospects early?

The real fight is the Legislature.

Rmoney was the "best" of the most laughable lot of klowns any major party has had contesting for its nomination. Which tells you a lot about the state of the Repig party.

if they weren't dumping a half a billion dollars into Romney's campaign to defeat Obama. They want to win and certainly acting like this matters to them.

I think that's especially likely with the reality of climate change starting to be felt.

Voters may have short memories but they will know who to trust when that shit hits the fan. It won't be the party that did nothing to stop it.

I mean, he is NEVER EVER correct...HELLO...did he forget how WELL Obama treated BRITISH (remember those guys) Petrolium during the oil spil in the Gulf?



Crowbar is ALWAYS wrong, yet he racks up millions by blowing hot air out of his mouth and people LISTEN!

How fucking SAD is that?

The only reason he is bashing RMoney is because of his rigid agenda he must follow. Or his paymasters will fire their little lapdog.

Later, Krauthammer also questioned the Romneys' choice to enter Ann's horse into the Olympics. "I'm not sure why the horse has to be in the most upper-class hoity-toity Olympic event ever invented. It's unnecessary," he said.

YOU and Mitt are unnecessary
