Here are some (there may be more) of Romney’s different positions on choice, abortion, and contraception. It’s quite an array. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy He’s like this on everything. “Here! You don’t like my position on X? Wait a minute, I’ll change it!” The man has no …
The consensus opinion of Romney’s speech at VMI today seems to be that it was short on specifics, espoused more or less the same policies in most cases as the ones President Obama already has in place, and dull. Via Kevin Drum comes a link to Fred Kaplan’s article at Slate. Neither Drum nor Kaplan …
This entire election season I’ve heard a refrain among Republicans that went something like “We need somebody who can beat Obama in the debates!” This has made no sense to me; I thought the goal was to beat him in the election. Debates aren’t the biggest part of that. Nonetheless, now comes this Politico story …
Mike Luckovich via GoComics.com From Balloon Juice Romney’s tea-party supporters really don’t like him much, and they don’t like his chances at winning either, so they’re consoling themselves with the idea that the polls are skewed in favor of Obama. At least the NFL only took three weeks to figure out its replacement officials weren’t …
I understand that it would be an awfully scary experience to be on a small plane that’s filling with smoke. I can understand why Mitt would be solicitous of his wife after she went through such a thing. But whether you’re distressed about that or not, how on earth could you make such a mistake …
Why, Mitt Romney! I’ll bet you thought it was Paul Ryan, since he’s the one who used to publicly acknowledge his admiration for Ayn Rand. Well, a video has surfaced in which Mitt tells us just how much disdain he has for those of us who weren’t born wealthy. There are 47 percent of the …
When even your own side is condemning your words as “an utter disaster”, you’d think your best course might be to shut up. Romney should have been reminded that there are four dead Americans there and they’re due some respect. Perhaps he was and decided that attempting to score political points was more important to …
There may be sensible explanations for this, but it’s still almost impossible for me to believe that 6% of Ohioans polled think candidate Mitt Romney was more responsible for bin Laden’s death than President Barack Obama (.pdf — see Question 15). That 31% of them might be unsure is a little easier to take, but …
Whaddya gonna do? Are you going to double down on the lies your ads have been telling about the President’s relaxation of some welfare-to-work requirements at the request of Republican governors, or are you going to mush up those claims back to some semblance of plausible deniability? If you were gutsy, you’d say you and …
During political campaigns I’ve often heard one side imply that his or her opponent’s spin is an out-and-out lie, but when his own side does it it’s just a different way of looking at things. It’s a silly argument, but nobody really believes it anyway, so there’s not much harm done. This is something completely …
