Mitt Romney: Vladimir Putin 'has outperformed' Obama

http://washingtonexaminer.com/mitt-romney-vladimir-putin-has-outperformed-obama/article/2542842

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Friday said Russian President Vladimir Putin had “outperformed” President Obama on the world stage, slamming the administration's handling of relations with Moscow.

“I think Putin has outperformed our president time and time again on the world stage,” said Romney in an interview with NBC.

“We are and I've said this before geopolitical adversaries, not enemies, but adversaries geopolitically and Putin lines up with [Syrian President Bashar] Assad and gave Assad the cover that he needed and won a diplomatic battle with regards to Syria,” he continued. “And he likewise keeps Edward Snowden as a bit of a stick in the eye at America."

Can you hear the popping sound of heads exploding over by Faux?

Mittsy'd better hope nothing goes POP at the Olympics--he'll look like the biggest asshole since Typhoid Mary.

5. Republicans really don't care about America. Politics is more important, always.

BTW, Mittens, thanks for being a Russian propaganda tool to satisfy your sore-loserdom. Thank God he lost, what a fucking douche.

9. What Romney really means is Putin outperformed Obama on persecution of LGBT folks.

One President endorsed gay marriage, strategically worked to see that the courts overturned DOMA, ended DADT, expanded federal benefits to gay married couples and numerous other praise worthy advances in the road towards equality.

The other guy is cracking down on people simply for daring to mention that its ok to be gay.

Fuck Romney. Fuck Putin. Barack Obama, for any policy faults he may have, is a far, far, far better man than either's best qualities put together.

11. Mitt's batting 100 again. Just before Bridgegate, he said he'd put his big money behind Christie...

We haven't seen the last of these cranky fascist billionaires by a long shot. They have the money and the time on their hands to do all the mischief they can, and they will. Nice touch by Mittens, not minding what Assad Junior and Assad Senior have done in Syria.

Shows the style of a Romney presidency and a Christie presidency. Not that he would have been on the job like Assad. The only position he was running for was robosigner in chief as planned by Grover Nordquist:

...But never forget, the power broker behind the GOP is Grover Norquist, and here is a quote that explains why Mitt is not accpetable under any circumstance:


"All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate."


http://www.westernprogressive.com/2012/02/norquist-wants-a-yes-sir-republican-president.html

Note, Grover knows that they do not need, nor even want, a leader in the white house, just a ribber stamp. They very weakness of Mitt --->IS<--- the selling point, just a W's low IQ was the selling point back in 2000, after all, they want the real leadership to go on behind the scenes, away from any voters...

Just as Christie promised the Koches he'd be for them. We're being devoured by sociopaths. They have plans:

...A video was posted in which someone filmed Paul Ryan, a Koch brothers lackey all the way, meeting his followers and put it on youtube.

He began with the anchor baby argument, but at :55 in the video, he says their goal is to turn enough states red to get them to pass a repeal of the 14th Amendment. He framed it in terms of illegals because of welfare, but this much more dangerous than it first appears.

Those people ate it up, because that's how they get the lower in society to vote for what they want, division based on hatred. But consider the other clauses in the 14th upon which many of our rights depend.

In addition to the Reconstruction part of the Amendment there is Birthright Citizenship, and the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses. We know what their intentions on voting rights have been; their assaults on the poor and every kind of 'minority' civil rights. They wouldn' stop at ending birthright citizenship, or any form of gender rights, labor or environmental protections.

They want this country back to something far older, oppressive than most of us ever knew. Here is the video, the thread and my further comments. I hope that people will listen to this:

Think two steps ahead, this is not just about bigotry. They know that will garner attention of those who believe they need to discriminate and those who are resisting that. While we must resist, think long-term.

It's always about money and power with all the works of the Koch brothers, their candiates and ALEC.

This is what is being planned in the private rooms and country clubs across this nation. They have the money and a plan. We must mobilize and keep going, not get demoralized by every passing thing that the media tells us. They are playing for keeps.

The won't stop so we can't either. No sleeping or mocking this stuff away because they mean what they say and they have done exactly what they've said they would, state by state.

I about lost my breakfast when I saw that. Why he doesn't just fade away? It's not like he's the head of the GOP. Although I have no idea who is - I don't think they know. Christie seems to be toast. Maybe they can run Palin again since they seem to cater to has-beens and wannabes.
