A Washington Post columnist has come up with a word for Mitt Romney's missteps-- Mitticulous.

Mitt Romney does seem to rival George W. Bush in making statements that are great at providing fodder for comedians.

I still voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 though.

After the debacle in England, the Brits call him Mitt the Twitt.

Has a ring to it ...............

Call him what you will. We need his business mind to save the country from all it's give away programs. Like this one.

Who is suppose to be minding this bunch?

Who is minding this bunch? 'Prolly the same ones who spent hundreds of billions in Iraq looking for non-existent, imaginary WMD's.

Hmmmm, good point.

We really need a 'like' or 'best post' button.

Mitticulous Huh?
 

Romney garnered endorsements from Israel and Poland, raked in over $1 million in campaign funds and was able to lay out a foreign policy agenda.

His so called mistakes were to to tell the truth about London's lack of security preparations, that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and to talk tough on Iran. And he had the audacity to say that perhaps the differernce of Israel and Palestinan cultures might have something to do with their respective economies. (WSJ Opinion 8/1/12)

Essentially what some people are saying is how dare Romney tell the truth.

Finally we have the beginning of straight talk from a politician and some people JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

What we have is foot-in-the-mouth blabbering by a pol who has been running for POTUS for 8 years and who hasn't paid taxes in 10 years.

No wonder his poll numbers are lower than Palin's IQ.

the problemas I see it is that there is no truth to any of the statements.

Hi waynet: Just what is it that untrue about the commenrs made by Mitt Romney?

How would Mitt Romney know anything about London's security preparedness for the olympics, except what he and everybody else could read in the newspaper? For him to go over there and criticize them on national TV is incomprehensible and indefensible. Normal people don't go into another's home or country and criticize them.

Pretty sophomoric exercise by the supposedly serious newspaper. How transparently biased can they be?

Stupid quotes come out of Obama and Biden's mouth on a daily basis. Gaffe's that various partisan websites call Obamaisms; with some posting the "Obamaism" of the day.

This is just dumb and demeaning and spotlights the Washington Post for the left wing rag it really it.

Maybe that's a good thing.

All of it.

Mitt is not normal. Remember.....he is entitled. :ohdear:

Romney wasn't wrong. He saw blunders by the London Oympic Organizers and commented on it. He has the gravitas to do so if anyone does.

If you guys would just read a little, it would help you not to look so superficial in your Romney hate.

Obviously Romney heard these stories and you guys are just to busy talking to listen.

Mitt Romney played the ugly American rather than simply enjoying the Olympics. Nothing he said was not already in the news somewhere, so why repeat it?

And, I just do not see Romney's gravitas. He is a banker and a politician; not a security expert.

I would criticize a Democrat if he/she did something this bone-headed.

i think that because we have had to listen to the words of obama and biden for so long that many have lost the ability to differentiate between an opinion and a gaffe - not to mention a fact or the truth. critical thinking is a skill that fewer and fewer people seem to demonstrate - especially at election time.

when someone does not have to weigh everything that comes out of their mouths and they speak what they believe and they WILL step on some toes as a result....make some mistakes as a result...will be a more truthful, believable, spontaneous person.

Very unlike the constant measuring, preparing, prompting, teleprompting speaking of the career politician as masterfully demonstrated by Obama for the last 4 years.....complete lack of sincerity most of the time.

President Obama never got booed by 60,000 people in any country he visited. Instead, he had upwards of 200,000 cheering him on in Germany in 2008.

btk, you're a thoughtful and intelligent poster who I have agreed with much of the time, and often admired your ability to express yourself. However, lately your distaste for Obama has caused your posts to be biased and unreasonable in my opinion. I really appreciate posters who keep a balance and a fair approach in their posts, which I admit is rare. It seems to me that Romney is a sincere and reasonable person who really would like to help the country. I also believe Obama is a sincere and reasonable person who would like to help the country. They have very different ideas and views on how theat would be accomplished, and those differences can and should be debated. However to call into question either's sincerity, honesty, or patriotism adds nothing to the debate and simply causes people on the other side of the spectrum to be insulted and pushed further into their political corner.

Fair and balanced for Team Obama and the liberal media is a one way street.

The ommission and commissions committed against the Republican and/or conservatives by the liberal media borders on criminal.

Holy cow! Were you nailed to a cross when you wrote that?

There have been books already written, and will be many more on the media and their direlection of duty in 2008 and the continuation thereof.

Nothing that I have seen in the MSM on the Presidents secret plan with Syria that has been going on all year. That was a no no in past administrations with the media.

he hasn't visited israel yet! ;)

:agree:

I personally learn a lot from the exchange of ideas in the Political Forum. And I don't find it offensive when posters take pot shots at each other. With Politics and Religion, a lot of people are deeply committed, and we can expect a little "rough n tumble". That's why there is an "Opt In" button.

You don't see Romney's gravitas?

That's so surprising to me.

I don't mind a little "rough n tumble", and in fact participate in it myself. However, it provides little in the way of understanding and a lot in the way of turning off those on the other side. If you really care to change the hearts and minds of people, it is best to show their opinions and beliefs a little respect.

what is a gravita and how many of them do you need to be like romney? ;)

Whenever people are losing the argument they decry the "incivility" of their political adversary. It's supposed to shut the other guy up.

It happens not only here but the lamestream media does it to shut up Obama critics everywhere.

Does this ever work?

per Merriam Webster:

GRAVITAS

: high seriousness (as in a person's bearing or in the treatment of a subject)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think she was being facetious.

I only pointed out my opinion to btk because he seldom indulges in pettyness. I don't expect anyone to change their tone or their message because of something I say. As a matter of fact I was not engaged in the "argument", so was not aware I was losing it.

c'mon, richielion! coach ed got it! lighten up! ;)

coach - good thing i didn't ask if it was one of those cocktails with tequila or a little umberlla, huh! ;)

Whatever. I guess I didn't hear the inflection in your voice.

That's funny. Needed that.

Romney just seems like a politician making stops abroad on his fund raising trip and saying whatever he thinks at these stops which will get him more money for his campaign. It all looks as sincere as those Political Action Committee negative ads.

I am not saying the Obama campaign is any better though with their PAC ads slamming Romney.

Just do not think that the seriousness of issues like that of the diplomatic capital of Israel and the religious and military history of Jerusalem should be manipulated for vote pandering. Romney also seemed to be doing that in London even if that looks like it was probably the result of reporters trying to get a good quote from candidate Romney.

Finally an true, intelligent and well-informed answer here on this topic,Thanks Rubicon!

President Obama visited Irael as candidate Obama in 2008. When he returns next year after winning reelection, Obama will not criticize the culture of the Palestinians because he knows it takes two to negotiate peace in the middle east.....something Mitt Romney never considered.

And you know all of this HOW ???

I read it in the newspaper and heard it on the news.
