Mitt Romney -- whaddaya think???

Mitt Romney slipping up.... (Now, Mitt is the moderate in the race. But if you go all the way back to 2000, well, George Bush's platform was to the left of Romney's. Bush talked about a humble foreign policy and compassionate conservatism. This is how far right the Republicans have gotten as a party. Well, they have to appeal to their base. Who are their base? Well, fundamentalist Christians. So, Romney has to placate that base by changing/altering his positions to satisfy fundamentalist Christians.... So, ya gotta be anti gay, anti abortion etc., etc.)

From Rupert Murdoch's New York Post....

He's got the best dogone hair of all the rest.

The so-called contest should be decided on: who has the best hair and strongest hairline...

Thought and Republican are not words that sit comfortably together. Their appeal goes beneath thought to some of the most basic and vile prejudices. That's their USP. It is also why maybe the rump of the party will not happily want a Mormon as their leader.

You forgot "it's Bush's fault"..

[trish]

If you're talking about the economic collapse you're correct, that's all Bush's fault. If you mean the slowness of the recovery, that's the fault of the GOP obstructionists.

Indeed Bush's fault - but also others before him who helped de-regulate the banks and financial institutions.
