Let's get a hashtag trending on Twitter: #MittTreason

[LuckyTheDog]

On Twitter? During tomorrow's debate, use the hashtag #MittTreason when Mitt says something that undermines U.S. foreign policy.

1. GOOD. Let's think of some more.

I don't understand Twitter and I'm not good at it. But I can do Facebook and would be happy to spread a little mischief there!



THIS is what I'm talking about. Devious thinking.

I have come to believe, VERY firmly, that there's not much sense in playing by the rules when the other side refuses to.

2. And a Hashtag for Mittrobevote

3. Define "undermines US foreign policy"

honestly I don't care for Romney and I think his views on many things, including foreign policy, are misguided and wrong (Russia, number one enemy? War with Iran? Sending troops into Syria?). However I also realise that a Romney administration would very probably pursue a foreign policy that differed in some aspects of detail (though probably not in broad outlines) from that pursued by an Obama administration. This is the nature of a political campaign; Romney as a candidate for president has to make the case for whatever his vision of what American foreign policy should be and delineate where he differs from the policy of the current administration. Doing so is no more "undermining US foreign policy" than John Kerry questioning the actions of the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan or than Obama drawing a contrast between what he'd do and what McCain would have done, and it's certainly not "treason".

4. Mitt is actively interfering with the ONGOING investigation in Libya...

... is is trying to use public pressure to hurry the investigation and manhunt. He also is generally trying to use it to embarrass and undermine our sitting president an at delicate time. It borders on treason.

7. He has no power to interfere with anything, period

He can talk and complain and accuse all day long, but that doesn't equal interference.

And no, trying to embarrass a sitting President does not come close to treason.

10. You are wrong. Everything Mitt says in public has an impact

He send signals to the world every time he opens his pie hole. And those signals are not about unity and resolve. What he says about foreign policy AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE has to be held to a high standard.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

12. A high standard is one thing

Accusing someone of treason because he doesn't agree with the President is something completely different.

Of course, you're free to do whatever you please - I'm just of the opinion that accusations of treason are thrown around way to casually these days.

[LuckyTheDog]

13. This is not a matter of disagreeing with the president.

This is about sending signals to the world during an ongoing crisis at a time when we need the cooperation of allies and intelligence assets.

A one-off attack is NOT what al Qaeda usually operates. I think we have to assume that other attacks are being planned. For Mitt to keep up his loose talk is reckless and could get people killed. Mitt needs to be sending a message that, whatever our disagreements at home, we want the culprits caught and any additional attacks shut down. Instead, Mitt is directing his rhetorical fire at OUR side. That's not cool. Not cool at all.

9. Well, that was fast...

I have only just started to get this going. They are already trying to undermine it? Wow.

11. We need one directed toward the media and pundtry who insist

on the horse race meme.

Conducted in real time.
