Yesterday, when Mitt Romney dropped out of the race, I was sort of half paying attention to his statement. I had a serious WTF moment listening to it, but since I was deeply absorbed in deciding what to make for dinner and choosing a new Avatar, I didn't really put all that much thought into it. If I had thought much about it, I hope I'd have written this.
Very well said, Eric.
Mitt, you're an ass.

Just to add to the Eric pimpin' - he writes a lot of cool, well-thought-out stuff over there. I don't usually have anything to say to them, but I read along quietly. Y'all should too. ;)
Yes, now the nation knows the secret shame of Massachusetts.
Hey, you liberals have your new JFK, let us conservatives have our new Ronald Reagan. On second thought, I believe JFK would be disgusted by Hillary or Obama. JFK was a visionary, these other two jokers; not even close.
Ah, Mr. Nelson,
I thought you might show up on this one. Civility you were promised and civility you shall receive.
Go back and read Eric's post again. He went out of his way to say that barring information to the contrary, and even though he disagreed with Romney's positions (which even you must admit are all over the map), he would still have ascribed to the man the most admirable motives for running.
What tips the scale is one thing.
"And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,".
If that is not the most vile piece of calumny from a politician's mouth in recent memory, I don't know what is. I'd even give him the benefit of a doubt if he'd retracted it. He's had a couple of days now, so I guess he stands by it.
It is an utterly foul bit of mudslinging. That's what Eric's post says. You may disagree with Obama and Clinton, but to infer, much less come right out and say that electing one of them would constitute a "surrender to terror" is about 12 miles over the line.
And, no, I think JFK would be very pleased with either Obama or Clinton...because he was a visionary. I also find it interesting that JFK is a sacred cow for you while Bill Clinton is a pariah for getting a blowjob.
Oh, and glad you're still stopping in.
I also find it vile that the left would believe that Bush lied about the war with Iraq, followed by their usual drivel "yada, yada, yada...and his buddies in the oil business". To think a president would lie is pretty disgusting in and of itself. Especially when the previous administration spent
8 years with the same beliefs about Hussein. (6 years and 5 months; no terrorist attacks on US soil). Is that worth anything at all?
Oh, and yes...thank you for inviting me in. I'd LOVE a drink. (no poison, please"
OK then. Consider me vile. I'm not an expert and I'm not one of those who obsessively collects articles to cite on comment threads, but let me tell you what I believe.
1. Colin Powell was sent to the UN to make the case for invasion with information that was known to be false and/or misleading.
2. Al Queda had no connection to Iraq in 2001. Al Queda is only in Iraq now because of the invasion.
3. We've let Afghanistan become a backwater in a war when, instead, it should have continued to be the first priority.
4. If this situation is not the result of the Bush Administration lying to the American Public, its the result of criminal stupidity in the Administration.
Take your pick.
And, oh, BTW, if we're going to continue deciding how dead Presidents would feel about things now, Eisenhower would think Bush is an absolute putz.
PPPBBBBBFFFFTTT!

Thank you Right is Right for being "one of those who obsessively collects articles to cite on comment threads."
Can you show me the article that refers to the war Clinton started in spite of having an actual war on his hands already that he should have kept paying attention to?
Oh, wait. That didn't happen.
No, I cannot. I suppose the only war Clinton started was in Yugoslavia. Perhaps that is why our interests were attacked time and time again during his presidency; Maybe he wasn't paying attention because his pants were around his ankle too much.
(By the way....this is quite fun) Next time, I'll bring the Doritos.
Yes, it has been fun.
But I've let it go astray. If anyone wants to get back to Mitt Romney's statement, fine. Otherwise, lets just move along.
Nothing to see here folks.
Mr. Nelson,
The poem was, indeed, amusing. However, you can't just lift a poem you didn't write and paste it into someone else's site.
Feel free to link to the site where you found it, but refrain from violating copyright law here.
Dude, you are totally correct, I actually intended on doing that. Thanks for the heads up.
