Mitt Romney Swipes Clinton

Mitt Romney


I do believe that Republicans somehow are stuck in the 1990's. It's all so simple, you see. Bad = Anything Clinton. Good = Bush?

Republican Mitt Romney said Wednesday that if elected president he and his wife will not embarrass the nation by their conduct in the White House as happened in "the Clinton years."

In an interview on CNN, Romney was asked about comments he made at recent house parties in Iowa that he and his wife, Ann, would not embarrass the nation in the White House. He is campaigning for Thursday's Republican presidential caucuses in Iowa, while Hillary Rodham Clinton is campaigning on the Democratic side.

"We'll try and represent ourselves and our nation well also to our kids because I think, I think kids watch the White House and there have been failures in the past in the White House — if you go back to the Clinton years and recognize that — that I think had an enormous impact on the culture of our country," Romney said. "And we'll do our very best, our whole family will to — well, if we can't be perfect, we'll do our best to uphold and to be a good example for the kinds of values I think people expect from our leaders."


Not a word about the current travesty in the White House. I suppose that lying us into war was a good thing for the country?

Lieberman endorses McCain


This is really no surprise.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 endorsed Republican John McCain for president on Monday, scandalizing Democrats in Washington and giving the GOP hopeful a much-needed boost in New Hampshire where independents outnumber Republicans and Democrats.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said he chose his longtime Senate colleague because he has the best shot of breaking partisan gridlock in Washington. Both men also are strong and vocal supporters of the war in Iraq.

"On all the issues, you're never going to do anything about them unless you have a leader who can break through the partisan gridlock," said Lieberman, who was Al Gore's running mate seven years ago. "The status quo in Washington is not working."


The status quo? This coming from Joe Lieberman who has been in the Senate since 1988. John McCain has been in the Senate since 1986. It is almost laughable for anyone that has practically taken root in a Senate chair to mention status quo.

Partisan gridlock? This has become the slogan of Joe Lieberman. Any discussion about issues in Washington are somehow 'partisan' in his view, and should be avoided. I don't suppose his weekly jaunts over to Fox News to do his weekly Democratic bash session is in any way 'partisan'?
