I know, I know...the 47% part of his speech is horrifying enough...but DAMN. There is enough ignorance/stupidity in the whole transcript to expose him even more:
Like..did you know the US military biggest threat is that other countries' have "really quiet" things (ya know, like subs) that could sneak up on them?
"Weyou probably know it, this was a couple of years ago, but we had one of our aircraft carriers sailing by Japan, and the Chinese pulled up behind it in a diesel sub, in a super-quiet diesel sub, pulled up behind it. It could have been torpedoed."
And about your team..really? Karl Rove-like...they have run elections in other countries? Can we see their resumes? Or their tax returns, maybe? Or which elections they "helped"?
"I can tell you I have a very good team of extraordinarily experienced, highly successful consultants. A couple of people in particular who've done races around the world. I didn't realize these guys in the US, the Karl Rove equivalents, they do races all over the world. In Armenia. In Africa. In Israel."
Oh, and apparently, he sees "attacks" on his wife a GOOD thing because it gives her a platform and more exposure:
"But you will see more of her in the September, October timeframe. And you know we had, what's her name, Hilary Rosen, who, you know, attacked her, and that made Ann much more visible to the American people, which I think is very helpful. It gave her a platform she wouldn't have had otherwise."

Romney: If I were Iran, if I were Irana crazed fanatic, I'd say let's get a little fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place, and then if anything goes wrong, or America starts acting up, we'll just say, "Guess what? Unless you stand down, why, we're going to let off a dirty bomb." I mean this is where we havewhere America could be held up and blackmailed by Iran, by the mullahs, by crazy people. So we really don't have any option but to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
Romney didn't appear to understand that a dirty bomban explosive device that spreads radioactive substancesdoes not require fissile material from a nuclear weapons program. Such a bomb can be produced with, say, radioactive medical waste. If Iran's nuclear program poses a threat, it is not because this project will yield a dirty bomb.
