RANT! Romney is UNAMERICAN to suggest a Foreign Country Bomb One Of Our Cities
"If I were Iran-a crazed fanatic-I'd say let's get..fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place, and then if anything goes wrong or if America starts acting up, we'll just say, "Guess what, unless you stand down, why we're gonna let off a dirty bomb." ~Romney May 2012
Are you ****ing kidding me? We have a Candidate running for the highest office in the land, President of The United States. That Candidate makes a suggestion for a foreign country to bomb one of our cities if America starts acting up? WHAT THE HELL?
Are you out of your mind? That is so UNAMERICAN Mitt Romney!

6. I'm sorry I think this qualifies
as a little more than just speculation about what a foreign country might do.
Does it rise to treason? I don't know, but it damn sure is Un-american.
This after our country was terrorized on 9/11 and so many American lives were lost.
This after a state, Oklahoma, was terrorized by a homegrown terrorist that bombed a Federal building and American lives were lost.
This after America was attacked by Japan, where so many American lives were lost.
How the **** can you even think to give a Foreign Country an idea like that if America starts acting up? Oh hey just come bomb us and I'll tell you how. You even ****ing suggested the material for the bomb.
Then you have the audacity to ask for any American votes?
Go the **** back home, or better yet move to China where you like to send our jobs. Move to the Cayman Islands where you like to keep your money to avoid paying U.S. taxes that actually help our country. DAMMIT just go the **** away.

1. Some might call that treason. n/t
Only if they're desperate to keep power.

5. And any that did would be wrong
Mitt said a lot really insane things during his little fundraising chat, but if speculating about what an enemy might do is treason than a whole hell of a lot of people are guilty of treason every day.
He's handed us a wealth of really good material. No need to stretch to find more.

14. Not this again.
**** the sensibilities of the moderates, a spade is a spade. You do whatever you want.
In other words: you're admitting this is ginned-up fake outrage meant to charge an American with treason to keep your political power.

2. Probably his idea of the perfect October surprise
Was drool coming out of his mouth when he said that? I won't watch the video, just looking at this guy in still pictures online makes me ill.

4. I just read the transcript
I am absolutely in shock! I mean that anyone would say this let alone a guy running for president! Am I missing something so shouldn't this be going nuclear? Someone needs to get this to Chris Matthews and/or Big Ed! OMG!

12. I know,
I am so mad right now. I was when I first heard him say it on the video, but after it's sunk in more...I am livid!
Mind you, this is from the contingent that thinks we deserved 9/11.

9. His choice of Chicago as the target is *no surprise*. That's Obama's home town. nt
Seeing as Chicago is killing its own to the tune of a couple dozen every weekend, maybe Rmoney is just trying to expedite the process.
He is an efficiency expert, after all.

11. He is unfit to serve.
That comment blew me away more than the others. It should be the talk of cable nooze from now until the election.
o plz
How about a president that actually worked beside an actual terrorist and sat in the pew of a racist hate-monger?
