WASHINGTON – As Mitt Romney spent Thursday attempting to knock the wind out of President Barack Obama's economy-focused address, two Republican senators largely considered to be in the top tier of potential vice presidential choices did the same.
Sens. Marco Rubio, of Florida, and Rob Portman, of Ohio, followed the Republican presidential nominee's lead and pre-butted Obama's speech in Ohio with appearances and statements throughout the day.
Rubio struck first while campaigning for Senate candidate George Allen at a flower shop in Arlington, Va. The Florida senator took aim at the president's recent analogy that blaming him for the brunt of the country's economic troubles is like ordering steak and a martini, taking off before the check comes and pointing the finger at others for running up the tab.
Rubio had his own analogy: "Imagine over the first three innings of a game a pitcher gives up four runs and then gets yanked and you put in another relief pitcher who goes on to give four runs himself and you lose 8-0. And the relief pitcher argues the reason he gave up four runs is because the guy before him gave up four runs," said Rubio. "That's ridiculous, right? That's the same thing that's happening here."
A few hours later, both Portman and Rubio took the stage just moments apart at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference here, giving those in attendance one of the best chances to date to compare the styles of the swing state senators.
"The president gave us a glimpse into the failed philosophy that he has chosen last week when he proclaimed that the private sector was doing just fine. He needs to get out more," said Portman, as Romney and Obama campaigned in different corners of his state. "I don’t think most people in Ohio and around the country agree with that … I don’t think most economists agree with that."
Portman and Rubio, who entered the Senate in 2010, represent states that will be pivotal for Republicans in November. Beyond that, their appearances here displayed their drastically different personalities. Rubio was the crowd favorite, exciting the group of conservatives to standing applause in an impassioned speech themed with American exceptionalism.
The soft-spoken Portman engaged the crowd with a much more somber and personal story about the role of his faith. He shared an anecdote about how he left Washington, giving up a top position in President George H.W. Bush's White House, to return to Ohio and care for his mother with terminal cancer.
"We also rely on something else as a country, and that's prayer and faith, to get through the most arduous of trials. As a nation, praying to God has sustained us in dark hours. We shouldn't stray away from the fact that our Judeo-Christian heritage is part of who we are," said Portman. While not rousing the crowd like when he took the stage, Portman did keep the 200-person crowd’s attention.
In terms of Romney surrogates, there are few who have been more willing than Portman to help the nominee. On Friday he'll be campaigning in North Carolina for the former Massachusetts governor, and on Sunday he'll be with him during his bus tour through Ohio. After the Ohio senator's speech today Portman defended Romney's comments suggesting that he is in favor of cutting teaching jobs and firefighters. "I think that's what Mitt Romney was referring to, the fact that by increasing public sector employees we're not going to see the economic growth we all hope for," he told a crowd of reporters.
The two senators today drew plenty of media attention given their status as front-runners to join the presidential ticket. But they have been silent about it, and nothing about that changed today.
Asked about his commanding victory as the top choice in a vice presidential straw poll last week, Rubio said, "I'm flattered, but I really want to serve alongside George Allen in the Senate."
“I hate to be boring," Portman said when asked a similar question about being Romney's No. 2. “I just don’t talk about that.”

I'm rooting for Sarah!!
NitMittens/Wasilla hillbilly - 2012
Speaking of Palin. Did you catch the you tube video of Bristol hammering some obnoxious gay drunk that called her mother a f&cking whore? The pig just filed a defamation suit against Bristol. Talk about losers.
Personally, I'm rooting for Governor Krispy Cream!
Maybe, he can introduce Willard to doughnuts.... ;o)
Bristol, actress wannabe.
A ha ha Bristol is almost as stupid as her mother. Almost.
I'm voting for top Republican thinker Michelle Bachman!
Bristol Palin - the poster child for abstinence...
Stupid twit should of swallowed instead of spreading em...
Hey Mike VL - you nicked my avatar!!!!!!!
Mama Grizzly probably advised her but she got mixed up!
Who wants to be on that ticket? A one-way ticket to failure?
Holy @!$%#, Tony and VK, I'm seeing double Bachmann's performing oral sex on a corndog. Thx guys, you made my day..LOL
Ah, looky at the libbies talking smack.
This from the gang that embraced not just Joe Biden, but also John Edwards.
Nice work gang. Super kick ass track record you all got.
So gang - any of you all care to predict the impact of Obamacare being stuck down as unconstitutional?
After all, O was a ______— professor. Too funny. Oh and don't forget the next week w will get SB 1070 being upheld - with Sotomoyer voting in favor of the law.
Delicious.
The Palins must have run out of Aspirin.
How old are you guys? Yellowdog was right, this place has jumped the shark.
Don't let the door hit you on your ass on the way out there honey!
And paper bags...
Pot Robman was trained in the House of Bush (SOB - son of Bush Sr., that is).
Does that qualify him, or totally disqualify him - as VP?
We are still in the Bushy Mess today.
You want to see a real mess....
Nice job Mika! The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
I know it is late in the afternoon in Illinois.... and carrot top is in rare drunken form.... hope the bartender cuts her off and sends her home... would hate to see her get a DUI! Actually, this could be a good thing!
Wow the loser liberals must be getting really desperate...bringing up the Palins again? June is not going to be a good month for you all is it.
Obama is one and done! Swallow that fiesty!
hope the bartender cuts her off and sends her home...
You really think that tub ever leaves the house? Come on, Steve. At this point a construction crew would have to take out a wall to get her fat azz outta there!
Should've showed her how it's done. After all, i'm sure she's had plenty of experience.
I see the Feisty Fan Club has arrived in full form. Must be tough when all you have to offer is insults on someone who obviously gets under your skin.
@watt75, actually it was Rob in MASS at post #1.1 that brought Bristol into the conversation. I doubt that Rob in MASS is a liberal, but I could be wrong.
Pot kettle kettle pot
Tony...Fiesty spews more insults on here than anyone else...nasty insults and as Obama take more hits the worse they get...read..think
Ah yes, Rob in MASS, our little troll re reg.
Feisty and all her pathetic groupies: Kinda juvenile, but it brings delusions of adequacy to their otherwise-empty lives to jump in at the start of a discussion and grunt out their great steaming piles of left-wing insults.
Chilled..GT brought up Palin..next
So gang - any of you all care to predict the impact of Obamacare being stuck down as unconstitutional?
Spanky - It won't. The SC won't accept or reject it. They will accept some of it, and kick back the stuff they don't like to be re-written by "O". By the time the re-write happens, it will be 2013. This way, the SC avoids a political @!$%#-storm from being thrown in their laps. Its called " The pussy's way out".
On the other hand, I could be wrong....
GT was indeed first, speaking about the VP slot.....Post 1.1 brought in Bristol!
Newday,
Shouldn't you and dumbfux be clearing tables over at Sarah Jessica Parker's house right about now?
I doubt that Rob in MASS is a liberal, but I could be wrong.
Hey Rob, Are you really a liberal?
Registered independent
So what's up with Obama yesterday he metaphorically states that the Republicans pulled a chew and screw with the economy and today he and his staff actually pull of a true chew and screw at some restaurant?
Your a Lib, your a Repub Tea, your an Obumbo......whah, whah, whah. Same crap over and over. Rant and rave over the politics but you act just like them. How about getting past sides and get the job done for the country?? Everyone..........
Say, why don't you dazzle us again with YOUR bull@!$%# story about your supposed GF @ the pharmacy again...?
THAT one was CLASSIC!
Not to mention a serial liar & self-proclaimed low-life re-reg...
Can't beat em... cheat huh little buddy?
Tickity tock little buddy....
Here's a novel idea... why don't YOU take your bull@!$%# to NewsforDumbFux?
Ohhhh that's right... low-lifes like YOU & your buddies were so egregious, they shut down their comments... lmfao!
Not to mention a serial liar & self-proclaimed low-life re-reg...
Whatever you say Dumbfux. Tell me do you think MSDNC will keep you on the payroll after Mitt kicks Obama's ass in November.
After a few weeks of gloating I think it's gonna be a ghost town around here.
Doesn't really matter you little cheat - you will be history around here much sooner then the election...
If YOU right wing idiots can't lie, cheat & steal, you're as impotent as a Monk!
Better start saving now Dumbfux. The old welfare check won't be anything like it was once Mitt takes over.
Right On Schedule: The republicanCrimeCartel Created this disaster back in Reagan's time and Perfected it with the Bushies, especially With KingGeorge the VaccumBrained during his NOTORIOUSLY SHAMEFUL Shrubber Reign 2001 - 2008. FACE IT Fellow and Sister Americans, The republicanCrimeCartel IS Causing this Depression we are back into to get people mad at Prez O and vote for Rommel and Whomever his love mate is. You KNOW what Rommel's got in mind: HUGE American military, OTHER PEOPLE's Sons fighting Newly thought up And VERY PROFITABLE WARS And NO American Universal National healthCare System. Even Prez O was "forced" to cut a deal with the powerful health insurance industry. Does ANYONE KNOW what the ceo of United HealthCare took Home for 2008 Salary? Hold onto your hats: $128,000,000 *C A S H* WHILE, Mind You, their paid policyHolders were denied and DIED. The fact that America HAS NO Universal HealthCare System like the other countries, which take care
of their citizens, instead of fattening the wallets of the EVIL Rich and paying for Unending Wars, IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE... YEAH, A lot of US are mad at Prez O; He let the $4.00+Gas and oil go by without a protest OR Complaint to the Justice Dept Going after the oil companies for price fixing And price GOUGING. AND that shaking hands with karzai of afghan
after what he said????? "thanks sucker taxpayers..." NONEtheless has anybody got an idea what republicanCrimeCartelSoldierRommel will do to US and ANY economic progress made?? He will GUT US LIKE A FLAPPIN' FISH ON THE DOCK.....You're gonna' see Unemployment up to 38% and NO Social Security..Gotta Pay for New Wars And NO MEDICAL CARE
AS "healthcare" policies cost SKYROCKET out of control. Don't fall for the republicanCrimeCartelPropaganda and just say NO!!! to MittTaxPittanceRommel.
Here's the rundown on Mitt Romney's devastating record as CEO of Bain Capital, a tenure marked by bankruptcies, bailouts, and mass layoffs — all while Romney and his partners raked in Billions of Dollars in profits for the firm and Romney himself amassed a Quarter-Billion Dollar Fortune.
Romney's Bain Capital Caused Mass Layoffs, Sent Jobs Overseas
Thousands of Americans were laid off by Bain Capital at companies it purchased, managed, and, at least a quarter of the time, drove into bankruptcy, ruining Lives, Destroying Careers and Families including Many Many Suicides While stuffing his pockets, Keeping his Darling son OUT of service to his country with the line "My son is Fulfilling his Patriotic Duty by helping me get elected"...Got that one?? and, Of Course, installing the InHouse car elevator for his "darling little boy's $180,000Ferrari....Listen Up People...This guy IS Count Dracula In carnate. A vote for ANY Republican politico is a vote against Yours and YOUR FAMILY'S Well Being. You can take that to the bank.
Feisty - Your posts are exactly what your logo says they are. Isn't it time to feed your cats?
Democrats: Please read the above post by PhantomBeast, and ask yourselves. Is this really the club I want to belong to?
If you find yourself nodding agreement with him, then never mind ...
Kannin - Sounds like a Ron Paul supporter to me.
Priceless Spanky....almost pissed myself...lollll
......and in another lil nugget from the resident LWNJ:
Ouch!....lmao....told ya.... the closer we get to November, the bigger the meltdowns!
BTW Feisty DumbFux.....in all of our time together NEVER ONCE have you thanked me! Thanked me for making oodles of $$$ so I can pay the taxes that allow you to go to the mailbox monthly! Nothing....Nada....Zilch.....all I have is your LGBT trans Twitter account to gaze at!
A lil gratitude will go a looooonnng way baby!
I think that it was Bristol flashing her Bush that got her into the family way.
I never in my life could have imagined, the United States having so many ignorant, trashy, vulgar, irresponsible, uneducated, liberal Welfare recipients, that can not put a proper sentence together to save their miserable life. Also, that they cannot even have a comment that has any factual or truthful substance to anything they say. History tells about how immoral and destructive the Democrats are, and how they have been bringing America down for over 60 years. And, that the Democrats are habitual LIARS and how we cannot believe what they have to say. The Liberals talk out their Arse about the Republicans, but have nothing to support their childish rantings. Liberals just keep your non sense ranting going to confirm what MORONS you are.
Wy would anyone want to be VP and jump onto that sinking ship? - it's harakiri - political suicide.
Bristol Palin - the poster child for abstinence...
Stupid twit should of swallowed instead of spreading em
Might I add a club foot dancer too?
Fuzzy: "Support THEIR childish rantings???" Please reread your post very carefully...............(people in glass houses etc)
Oh come on, To go after a candidate is one thing, but to pick on family members is low. As for why Romney threw his wife out there, and she got slamed by a bad choice of words from someone. Those words were uncalled for, but that was a bad decission on Romney too.
I don't like Romney, Palin, and most of the Republcans. They get what they ask for and know it's going to come. Call me a fair player or what ever. Family members are off limits.
Romney old boy, I still want to see your DD-214! If you haven't served this country, you are one sorry A**...............!
Just saw a new Gallup poll. Seems 68% of Americans blame the weak economy on Bush. After the Presidents action today, I don't think Romney's people will allow him to pick Rubio. Name sounds too Hispanic. Too many pissy people are intensely angry at Hispanic people right now to take such a chance. Jan Brewer has a weathered face that could give some credence to Romneys claims of not being anti women. Course, in certain light, some probably couldn't tell whether She's a man or a woman, which, considering the bulk of Romneys supporters might not be a bad thing. Long as He could get away with it, He could have it both ways.
@ Feisty: Ma,am, just came here from another post. Damnation! Every 3ed or 4th post was about you. Nearly all were giving you hell. You are, as I have suspected for a while now, quite an accomplished and classy lady. Good to know people like you are around. My respect to you Ma'am. Hee,hee, so many are so jealous of you. Damn!
@Americans vs. Tea Baggers #1.52: Mittens, and whomever His running mate is, will be hard pressed to introduce or push any policy from "goat rock".
Respect your meaning and intent though. Regards
@Fuzzy-0457 #1.47: Damn Fuz; we're all not so bad. I'm likely the cussingest sum-bitch who posts here. Now, about that history you been reading Fuzzy; Let's use "jack and the beanstalk" for example. Did you know that sorry sum-bitch that traded Jack the beans for His cow was a republican? Yep. Actually a "Venture Capitalist" much like "Mittens Romney. That there Giant; you remember?, the one who tried to kill Jack? That sun-bitch once served as a deputy for that goofy Sheriff in Arizona.Yep. Joe something or other is His name. Jack though, after He had enough killed that bastard. After that Fuz, Jack went on to become the 35th President of this here now nation. Psssst, um, uh Fuz, Jack was really His nickname and He wuz a progressive democrat. Did like the women, but hell Fuz, what man doesn't? Regards to you
To Kannin: The truth hurts.....................club repub is no way to go.
Awww Mac - you're making me *blush*
I do have quite the troll following... no? lol
I'd rather have them wasting their time hurling insults at me, then repeating the same debunked squawking points of theirs! ;o)
Enjoy your weekend!
PS: As for old Fuzz - did you count how many contradiction he managed to cram into one comment? Poor thing is pretty confused...
When will Grover Norquist let Romney know who the vp candidate will be?
I think Grover will do a much better job that Soros who picked Biden! Yikes!
Say George, can you feel the libs ignoring you? They always do that when somebody mentions Barry's grand-puppeteer, Soros. Come to think of it, they don't like to talk much about Biden either!
Love good ol' Joe even if he is a gaffe machine. As far as Romney's VP? I don't know why anyone would touch that political albatross..
Rubio had his own analogy: "Imagine over the first three innings of a game a pitcher gives up four runs and then gets yanked and you put in another relief pitcher who goes on to give four runs himself and you lose 8-0. And the relief pitcher argues the reason he gave up four runs is because the guy before him gave up four runs," said Rubio. "That's ridiculous, right? That's the same thing that's happening here.
Analogy's like that is one good reason an idiot like Rubio shouldn't be a VP candidate.....However, with that said, reason #2 would be that he would upstage an even bigger idiot, NitMitt himself....
Obama/Biden 2012
A more accurate analogy would be: "Imagine that in the 4th inning of a game, a pitcher gives up 4 runs and leaves 3 men on base, gets yanked and you put in another relief pitcher, who gives up 1 run, retires the inning, and then pitches scoreless innings the next 3 innings. And the relief pitcher argues that the reason he lost is because the offense refused to produce any runs."
"Ladies and gentlemen, step right this way! Come see the latest, greatest and most unbelievable attractions that this carnival has ever had!!! The faint of heart are advised to look the other way. Hurry! Hurry! After November, they'll be gone forever!!!!!
Yeah, we need another freak show like the primary. That was great!
...although I did gain weight from all that popcorn
It's funny that they never did find the "not Romney" they were searching so hard for.
Yeah, we need another freak show like the primary.
Sane - Yeah, that primary was a laugh a minute. Like watching the Daily Show 24 hrs a day....
Just wait until the debates. Mitt will be stuttering worse than Porky Pig.
Pretty weak effort from the libbies today... they're probably all at the same bar!
Yeah, I thought that analogy was a bit strange too. A better analogy would be the first pitcher gives up 4 runs then the relief pitcher gains a strike out or two but still has work to do in the final innings. All the while fighting home team, hostile, biased umpire, a muddy field, rain in his eyes and it's a world series game..
Not only dumb but like most fleabaggers, Rubio is incapable of independent thought. That analogy came from yesterday's Wall St. Journal ... you know, that bastion of progressive ideas. NOT!
I consider myself independent, and I can take Romney seriously. However if he picks a terrible VP like McCain did it will weigh heavily in my decision making. I am curious to who will end up on the ticket, we have likely contenders but with the GOP, we can very well end up with someone completely unexpected.
Although Ron Paul is too idealistic to be a good president, I think a Romney/Paul ticket would be GREAT! The hard-nosed pragmatism of Romney, tempered by the uncompromising idealism of Ron Paul to act as the Administration's conscience, could start to repair the mistakes of the past three years without infringing further on individual rights.
Inadaze - I hope you realize that picking Rubio would be a horrible choice. Rubio has way too much baggage and is not at all well-liked in Florida. He is a Tea Party boy and is incapable of independent thinking. Really awful politician and the thought of him being #2 is horrifying.
Kim, for Rubio to obliterate both a weak democrat and a Rino at the same time, I don't think you can say that nobody likes him. More like nobody you know likes him. You need to make some new friends, perhaps a few from "the Dark Side".
he needs to pick John Thune SD. He is a good man.
he needs to pick John Thune SD. He is a good man.
Do you live in Florida, Mr. Akron? He was swept in on the Tea Bagger tide and has not endeared himself much in the State since them. I realize you are the expert on all things but I live here and I work in banking - a very conservative industry and you are right - nobody I know likes him.
45th President of the United States Mitt Romney 2012 - 2020!
46th President of the United States Marco Rubio 2020 - 2028!
Then you woke up from your wet dream
Don't worry. He's a re-reg troll that's been kicked out more times than Otis the Drunk at the local watering hole. He'll be gone shortly.
What a dream ! That sounds like a nightmare for AMERICA !
Rob - Rubio reminds me of a "not so blonde" Dan Quayle
So tell me who does Joe Biden remind you of?
Barbara,
Good to see you this evening.
Rubio /Qualyle: little fish in a big pond.
@Rob in Mass
or whoever you are and where ever you live.
Biden reminds me of Hubert H. Humphrey, a great public servant, authentic, a politician who understood the lives of the working and middle class and never made an apology for his beliefs.
Biden sometimes loses his teeth before a speech, but the secret service has a guy responsible for locating them. I'm sure Romney's VP won't need such special treatment! Unfortunately the secret service has no specialist to locate Obama's spine!
Rob in Mass. : Have you ever seen a 'Jeff Dunham' show???? Biden looks an awful lot like 'Walter'...the grumpy old man,puppet..............
Obama served up a whole lotta nothing today, huh?
You can tell Obama doesn't even believe his own bs anymore...priceless!
Wow, even the left wing commentators said it was one of Obama's worst speeches. I wonder if something went wrong with his teleprompter.
WOW! I wonder when you... Gomer are going to extract your ass from between you cheeks...
Did YOU not watch Willard reading off of HIS teleprompter?
Go cling to your guns & bible Goofy!
Romney on Obama’s economic speech: ‘Talk is cheap’
Yahoo ^ | June 14, 2012 | Holly Bailey
Romney, who spoke without a teleprompter, argued that when judging the impact of Obama's policies, all Americans have to do is ask businesses around the country if they are better off than they were when the president took office.
Time to call it a night Red. You're lies just can't hold up when you are drunk. Gonna be tough with a Hangover. Or a re you a "Hair of the Dog" kind of broad?
Can't wait to see tomorrow's libbie deflection from the economy.
Fiesty - When are you going to get your big fat a$$ out of your mothers basement and learn something. You and your merry band of idiots meet in your mothers basement for a female circle jerk, and then you have the nerve to insult people. You are one of the most uniformed and liberal troll on this cite. Maybe you should cling to you fat a$$ and get a life. At least get out and smell some fresh air.
BTW, Smart A$$ was was Romney's teleprompter. Your BOY Obama can't do the job and all he does is play the blame game. Don't you left wing nuts get tired of blaming everyone and everything except your own stupidity.
Same whole lotta nothing as the last 3 1/2 years.
Bingo
Just cheerleading BO doesn't help him. He needs a sharper, more cogent message with some memorable lines. I ain't walking my criticism back
--- Jonathan Alter
Tough day for Obama when someone that's carried his water for four plus years says that. Don't you think?
Picking a good running mate for Nit-Mitt, is like squirting whipped cream on a dog turd. It's not gonna cover the smell, and it'll still look like @!$%#....LOL
Obama/Biden 2012
Gross: "As a nation, praying to God has sustained us in dark hours."
Um, no it hasn't. Just because some people feel better when they talk to an imaginary friend doesn't mean it offers any type of sustenance.
Can't wait for the day we outgrow religion and politicos don't have to pander to bibletards.
sorry but they are here to stay...the tea party are already forcing moderate republicans by force to do it there way or else..they are already forcing them the mark of the new laws in America
Anybody would be better than Biden. Talk about clueless.
Teatards couldn't even field a presidential candidate better than Biden.....
Yes sir the buying of the country by wealthy Republicans and Corporations ! SAVE YOURSELF AMERICA DON'T LET THE WEALTHY 1% BUY THIS COUNTRY ! VOTE AGAINST THEM AND THERE CANDIDATE ROMNEY !
School dog
The wealthy can't buy this country. The fed owns 2/3's of it. Knowing that, why is there even a deficit?
$Koching$ $Koching$!!
Yes sir the buying of the country by wealthy Republicans and Corporations ! SAVE YOURSELF AMERICA DON'T LET THE WEALTHY 1% BUY THIS COUNTRY ! VOTE AGAINST THEM AND THERE CANDIDATE ROMNEY !
So who is the second best teatard in the country?
Oh my god how much luckier could the Democrats get a religious nut job Cuban Rubio or a nobody tea party member Portman ! Yippee !
You will find out in 2012 nutlick. You communists better start moving back underground.
LOL! Communists? Paranoid much?
Priceless!! Haven't heard the term "nutlick" since the third grade.
You will find out in 2012 nutlick. You communists better start moving back underground.
Hey Slingblade, . This isn't the 50's. Communism is dead. Why don't you go home and read up on your ism's, because you seem quite confused.
wow that looks sexy
I think some of these guys just crawled out of their 1950's fallout shelters.
Rubio as a running mate, check his record as Speaker of the House in FL. With the budget $300 billion in the hole he hides $250,000 for an astro turf field in Miami where he plays flag football. The recedes to cut money from the elderly and poor.
Also his $140 hair cut, his spending on the GOP am. Exp. when in DC. Yeah he's the one. Just another wanna be.
Remember the 2008 Pub primaries? After the debates, all the candidates acted like Romney didn't even exist. Wouldn't even shake his hand. Romney just stood over there by himself with that fake smile.
Now he is their great white hope. Priceless.
Say NO to B.O. 2012
I think Romney should put Hillary on the ticket.
So says, someone who is clinging to his gun - too freakin funny!
Dazzle us old wise one with more of your bull@!$%#!
So says, someone who is clinging to his gun - too freakin funny!
Hey Feist, I don't think its a gun. It looks more like a black man's pecker!
hahahaha.look a clint eastwood moment
David - Gilbert, AZ...
Arizona, home of Jan Brewer and Sheriff Arpaio....nice!
Arizona, home of Jan Brewer and Sheriff Arpaio....nice!
Arizona, or as I call it - "Mississippi without tree's".
That would really get in the craw of the left, now wouldn't it? Heck Bill, already endorsed Romney, twice, before he explained the endorsements away.
That's nice. Maybe if we just pray and have faith, the recession will end. After all, praying ended the wildfires in Texas last year, it just took several weeks. Who needs workable solutions when we have prayer?
Anybody. Really, anybody would Make a better VP than the plugster. A national embarrassment.
a man rides his bike and lies
Who ever Willard gets, they better be good with an etch-a-sketch...
that's right lukewarm, Romney flips and Obama "evolves" muhahahahah. You people are so entertaining. Do you even think about what you spew?
Yellow has no idea where that silly "Etch-a-Sketch" insult originated.He is just vomiting back left-wing slogans that some other idiot fed him. Hey Yellow, here are the facts:
Romney's communications director Eric Fehrnstromon referred to the shift from a primary campaign to a presidential campaign by saying "I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-A-Sketch" Of course, Romney's opponents immediately pretended the remark had some significance.
Contrast this with Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor and mentor for 20 years saying, “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color.”
Intelligent people will recognize that the "etch-sketch" comment is a cute analogy by one of Romney's campaign workers; while saying that AIDS is a means of genocide against Blacks. represents a core belief that Obama has absorbed.
kannin let me see your birth certificate..I don't think you think right
Elvis - As always, I appreciate it when you attack me, rather than my arguments. It is your clear admission that my post is entirely accurate, and that you have no valid counter to any part of it.
Whoever Romney gets better be a makeup artist becuse it's gonna require alot of lipstick for that pig...
The right is setting up Rubio. Its good political strategy. Obama will lose some latino votes if Rubio is Romney's V.P. selection.
you mean Cubans Mexicans can see a fake Mexican
GERM : you are kidding yourself if you think the Hispanic voters will support Rubio ! He's a cuban and even the Florida hispanic population voted against him for senate ! And how do you go about hiding his anti Immigrant speeches ? Please he a tea-party anti mexican policies Politician ! FACTS,FACTS, INDISPUTABLE FACTS please research your posts !
Whatever he is he will appeal to latinos. Obama's coveted latino vote will be in jeapordy with Rubio in the mix. Florida is not the only state with latinos.
no sorry mexicans in texas wont even vote for him
GERM;And you don't think that maybe someone won't disclose his record to those latinos in other states ? Do you think they are stupid ?
The Latino vote is the Italian vote. "Hispanics" have sabotaged this glorious Roman heritage. Those who we call 'Spanics" are in fact Ibero-Indians and we don't want them in the Republican Party. We don't want them here in the USA with us period.
You don't know that elvis. Now go watch the NBA finals and stop being mean lol
sorry you sexy thing you . i live in Texas
allisio, I'm half italian, with alot of full italian relatives. I'm not sure what you're talking about?
so you ARE sweet elvis:) I'm in PA.
so your a half bread like obama let me see your birth certificate
can i sway you to vote for Obama
darn it i ran her off
lol elvis! no you didn't run me off lol. i was writing something else as well as watching the nba game. and yes I'm a half breed lol
German,
whatever he is he will appeal to latinos.'
Anyone who speaks Spanish are all the same. LOL
Just like the Brits, Canadians, Aussie, New Zealanders,Americans , we are all the same.
"half breed", ???? interesting word....
you better be American or else i will call the tea party.so you cant vote
Gem, it's not so much the right setting up Rubio. It is the party getting him some exposure to other key states other than Florida to see if he helps Romney. They should be doing the same thing with Portman or any other candidate for VP. If they are really concerned about the swing states, Santorum would be the better candidate because of his presidential candidacy. I think the planner's preference would be someone other than Santorum, but Santorum is still a possibility.
oh DB, please, no santorum, aaggghhhh lol
And a VERY nice half breed at that.
Rubio the mexican that once was a mexican
can i get baptized in Romney and Ruby's money..maybe the money will trickle down to me if i do it
None of the two is a good choice. Then why this Cuban/Spanic Marco Rubio doesn't get lost? If Romney picks up Rubio as his running mate Whites will be really upset because after all we consider the "Hispanics" a major part of all our problems here and we certainly don't want Rubio eventually taking over as President!
Somebody has to tell Mitt Romney that his judgement appears impaired.
no the Republicans only like to use Mexicans at election days have you notice every year
Allisio, Romney needs a running mate that will appeal to non-whites. The white vote alone will not win the election. Like him or not, Rubio is a good political strategy to win the election.
I don't know German. Rubio looks pretty white to me....
Allisio Rex - We already know Willard's judgement is impaired
Did you catch "the Draft Dodgers" speech on WW11 veterans carrying the "TORCH" and now the torch is ours but it's not an American torch - what the devil was he talking about?
WW11 Veterans carried guns, bayonets and hand grenades and their guts - something Willard knows nothing about -
oh yes he does know about dressing up in a Police Officer's uniform putting a "cherry" on his car and pulling over drivers in CA - dressing up but not serving up - a felonious act
What a dufuss
And more RUBIO FACTS, he was caught claiming that he and his family were part of the great cubian boat people refugee escape of 1960 and was found to be a liar on that one !
SCHOOL: Right you are. He got caught with his pants down, lying through his teeth. Frankly, Cuban Americans as a group give me a monumental pain in the ass. They think they're special and that the U.S. owes them special favors. Rubio's family actually came here several years before Castro came to power. They were not refugees. And Rubio has milked this story for all it's worth, helping him succeed in Florida politics.

..the tea party are already forcing moderate republicans by force to do it there way or else..they are already forcing them the mark of new laws in America
Oh God Rubio will be such an easy target it is a gift to the Democrats ! Please Mittens pick Rubio Please !
