Multiple Choice Mitt decides that the US should pull out of organizations that we’re already out of:
“The United Nations has been an extraordinary failure of late,” Romney said during a South Carolina campaign stop. “We should withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council.”
There’s one problem: The United States already boycotts the Human Rights Council, and has not sought a seat on it. This caused an aide to clarify the remarks by saying what Romney really meant is that the U.S. should stop any possible financial support for the council.
Apparently, under a Romney Administration, we will also be boycotting the Warsaw Pact, refusing to recognize the Ottoman Empire, and denouncing the formation of the juvenile army to fight the Children’s Crusade.
The real point here is that the United Nations is such a boogeyman on the right, such an effigy that must be burned, that candidates must reject it in full, even if they’re completely ignorant of its organization.

The same reputation is held by ‘Radio’ Rudy in NYC. In eight years he never found time to fix the problems with communications after the first attack. His oblivious attitude is further underlined by the fact of his placing the Emergency Response Hdqtrs at WTC. He’s a blowhard ‘johnny one note’ who’s already ducked one election with Hillary.

Just heard that you are dropping out of the race. I am so disappointe!!! Who does that leave me to vote for? Will only vote for McCain if you are his running mate.
Something to say?
I live in MA and had the displeasure of living under the Romney administration. The man seemed to delight in doing/saying slimy things against the people he supposedly served. Every time he makes a claim of what he did while Governor of MA, I have to ask myself, “Are there two Massachusetts?” I am starting to believe he is so out of practice when it comes to telling the truth that he no longer knows how.
