The man has been flinging insults all over the block for months so it is hard to believe him.

As Bill Maher has correctly said, compared to the others in the race, Romney “at least eats with a knife and fork.” That’s his only hope for success in November: convince voters that he’s more like the reasonable Romney of Massachusetts gubernatorial fame than the Romney from the Republican version of “Fear Factor.”

yea thats exactly why he’s not going to win the repub nom….all they want is the red meat and a candidate whos willing to give it to them….santorum and gingrich have stepped up on that front. 

Romney “accidentally” equating Barack Obama with Osama Bin Laden back in 2008 = Outrageous thing. Nuff said.

“WTF? “Nothing outrageous”?!?!?!? THEN THERE IS NO NOMINATION FOR YOU!”

He will have his SuperPACs say outrageous things instead.

Woof woof!

After primaries are over  this is what you call moving to the middle ….Mitt thinks the primaries are over.

Romney is smart. There is no mileage in attacking Obama personally, so why would he do it?

Well, you may not say outrageous things about him Mitt, but I promise you that he and his surrogates will be saying incredibly outrageous things about you. 

Woof woof, he ties puppies to the roof of cars and takes them on long family trips to Canada. Nothing outrageous about that.

Finally a politician that actually does hate puppies. Let this be known if you love dogs. Woof woof!

Right after he EXCLAIMS ” OBAMA’S TREES ARE NOT AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT”!!!!!!!

A conservative, a moderate and a liberal walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says: “Hi, Mitt”.

The Teabag fringe will require you to to get their vote. They need you to be as acerbic as Gingrich is. 

 seriously…all they want is hatred and racism

Did Larry Kudlow share his blow with Mitt? Kudlow’s got some primo connections and snorts only the finest Bolivian marching powder.

LOL Romney is the Lorax, he speaks for the trees!

There goes the tea party people vote.

I think they’d rather vote for Obama than for someone who won’t say outrageous things about Obama.

I guess he is showing that he isn’t a christian and apart of the christian right more and more.

Mitt is tacking back to the middle, but it may be too late.

Mitt knows he has this nomination just about locked up and now he has to steer it back to the middle and try to get the independent vote.

Instead mitt has decided to say outrageous things in general.

I think his pet was a full grown dog not a puppy.  And it was able to spend the last of its remaining days on the farm or wherever it ran off to. 

My Dream GOP ticket …………Gingrich/Santorum 2012

me too

he only says the president is “feckless” and implies that we’ll all be destroyed by Iran’s nuclear weapons if Obama is re-elected

“I like cars”

Woof woof! Mitt tried to shoot me like a varmint :(

Woof woof! He has a Mustang, an F150, and Ann has 2 Cadillacs but I had to be tied to the roof. As if they couldn’t afford a new station wagon if I pooped in it. Woof!

Woof woof! Too bad he hates his own dog.

“I’m not going to say anything outrageous about the president, but you know darned well I won’t stand up to anyone who does. A vote is a vote, Larry.”

“He don’t even belief Obummer is a Kenyan Marxist Nazi Mesyah created in a labatarium by Alinsky. How can we trust him to protect the banks?” 

lol mine too

Mittens, I thought it was a sin for Mormons to lie, From your record of slimy attack adds across the primary season, Your statement just doesn’t hold water.

MSM: Romney’s ‘Education’ Plan

http://youtu.be/_HIaE9nB6UI

Romney lies continuously about Obama.  Apparently, that’s not considered “outrageous” as he lies about himself continuously as well.

Yet on the campaign trail, in stump speeches routinely, & even in some keynote speech, he makes things up about Obama, he lies & misleads every day, multiple times at day. Steve Benen, after he added Maddow Blog to his blogging at Washington Monthly, started up a regular Friday blog entry on Romney’s lies about Obama, and very quickly noted that those lies are being uttered at such a rate that now he’s restricted it to just listing & linking to the most outrageous of Romney’s lies about Obama – yet still the list gets up to dozen a week.  

I have this theory that Romney is trying to exploit that APPEARANCE of sobriety & propriety that you refer to in referencing Maher’s “knife and fork” joke, banking that people are somehow going to grant his statements credibility on the assumption that his wealth & his boringly median-hugging family & his mere appearance are all evidence of the motivation to lie having been removed from him – whereas the truth appears to be that his ABILITY to lie, to get away with lies due to that assumption, were factors that contributed to his getting elected governor in Massachusetts and more: to his gaining his extreme wealth in the first place. 

It’s not that the lies have not been noted at all: it’s that they’ve been down-graded to “flip-flops”, comparable as such to the notorious Kerry quote about being ‘for the war in Iraq before [being] against it’ – IOW a real, actual admission of real, actual flip-flopping, as distinct from an admission of a lie or a lie itself. What Romney does, as a matter of routine behavior, is, yes, flip-flop, yet not only flip-flop but lie, comparable to if Kerry had claimed ‘never to have been for invading Iraq’ when there’s not just a congressional record of his voting for it but on-the-record statements of his supporting it & why & even public speeches & – sign of the state of civilization – clips on YouTube evidencing his having supported it. And the worst sort of lie is the completely made-up quote attributed to his opponent, trying to frame Obama as not just ‘thinking’ something but actually having said something he did not say, such as inserting sub-texual thinking. All those TYPES of lies are being conflated into a big old bundle of “Romney flip-flops” when for the most part they are not flip-flops at all, not showing any fluidity in political position, but rather are entirely made-up self-motivated LIES.

What’s being written by Benen (& now others are picking up on this, such as at the American prospect) has also so far been significantly down-graded due to the shocking clownishness of the other contestants in the GOP presidential primaries – but once Romney has effectively gamed the nomination (something that conventional wisdom may have granted him as of tonight, but in any event is coming soon), then it will be interesting to note as OTHER media types & websites & organizations start to track Mittens’ Mendacity – in other words, how the MSM does its job. 

Because it’s who Romney is: he is AT HEART a liar. It’s how he made his money; being born wealthy infected him with a fatal sense of entitlement, & ever since he’s been about taking & taking & taking what he regards as his to take.

That’s what parents always say: He’s gone to a lovely place in the country, to romp among the deer & chase rabbits. He’s in Puppy Heaven. 

BTW a dog person would knows that dog people are highly prone to calling even their full grown aging dog “puppies” as an endearment & owing to dogs acting eternally mentally young-goofy.

That SOUNDS plausible, but it’s actually not easy to accomplish at all in this modern 24 hour or less news cycle. The RNC convention is in August – more than 6 months off – & Romney is going to have to maintain illusions to keep up all the Tea Party & Religious Right & Deficit Hawks & War Hawks & other extreme factions of the GOP off his neck between now & then – & THEN somehow be able to pivot to reasonableness starting in September. Can you name some one who’s been able to do all that? Even Bush the younger stood for reasonableness from the beginning of his campaign for the 2000 election, & didn’t turn extreme until he was in office. It’s impossible to remake yourself in the YouTube era.

As I understand, in theory it’s only wrong to lie to Mormons – & you get around that easily by the artifice that since you’re all Mormons, your statements are to be judged in religious subtext. But otherwise, with lying to everyone else, well, it’s their misfortune not be Mormons, so screw them. 

Sounds exactly like, IsIam, MusIms, and their theology of Taqiyya. (taqqiya)

You are so full of BS and yourself. What proof do you have that Mitt is a liar, you left wingers throw out all kinds of BS and have nothing to prove your gutter sniping. The man gave his entire inheritance to charity, what have you ever gave let alone thought of giving other than your morally bankrupt comments. When he wins the white house it will be fun to watch all of you cockroaches trying to find a pile of shit to hide under.

If you listen to Bill Maher for your information you really should not try to write any kind of comment on current issues.
