That's funny because it sure doesn't seem like Republicans want Mitt Romney's advice on ... well, anything. This is, after all, the same man who can't even take a photo-op trip to our friends across the pond without insulting them. In fact, this is a man who can't open his mouth without practically creating an international crisis. So yeah. On the long list of people whose advice Republicans seek for foreign policy and diplomacy advice, Mitt's name ranks somewhere below Sarah "I can see Russia from my house" Palin.
So what kind of presidential advice does the Romney campaign have for Republicans on how to cover his ass on his latest foot-into-mouth insertion?
"Did Governor Romney 'jump the gun' last night in releasing his statement?"
"No. It is never too soon to stand up for American values and interests."
Right. Standing up for American values and interestslike falsely attacking the president while Americans are actually under attack. Like referring to our troops as an unimportant "laundry list." You know. Those kinds of values and interests.
That must be the kind of "big stick" Sarah Palin had in mind when she also attacked the president. At least Mitt Romney is in brilliant foreign policy expertise company.
The Romney campaign might also want to prepare a talking point to explain why it's okay to smirk while giving such a disaster of a statement. Because they're probably going to need it.

was this a leak?
or was the campaign giving direction to CNN as well, and they were supposed to keep the memo a secret?

They are apparently going to go full Han Solo to get out of the mess their candidate's made -
But I don't think he will escape like Han.

Flipping morons... and they expect all their supporters are too stupid or deluded to notice.

(10,129 posts)I`ve said before, my wife works at a cigar lounge.. many of the customers and other employees are wing-nuts.. the good news I`m seeing is, even the ones who openly support Rmoney actually can`t stand him! I`m pretty sure at least a few of them are going to be overwhelmed by apathy.
