PunkAss Mittens refers to Hillary as an "intern" on FauxNews

MITT ROMNEY COMPARES HILLARY CLINTON TO AN “INTERN” ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL “HANNITY & COLMES”

Romney: Senator Clinton Is “A Lovely Person” But “Fundamentally Wrong”

Mitt and Ann Romney sat down today, Monday October 29, 2007, with FOX News Channel’s Sean Hannity to discuss Senator Judd Gregg’s (NH-R) endorsement of Romney and what Romney thinks of Hillary Clinton. The complete interview will air on Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9PM ET.

Following are excerpts from the interview:

ON HIS THOUGHTS ON HILLARY CLINTON AS A PRESIDENT:

HANNITY: It appears Hillary is the inevitable nominee for the Democrats. I want to ask both of you this question. What do you think of Hillary Clinton?

M. ROMNEY: You know, I’m sure she’s a lovely person. I just think she would take America in a course towards Europe, which would lead us to be a weaker nation.

We’d have a weaker military. I think we’d have a weaker economy. I think our family structure will be weaker on all those bases. I think America would not remain the great nation it has always been if she were the leader, and that’s because this is such a critical time.

We face such unusual challenges. And despite being a very lovely person, I think she’s just fundamentally wrong in the course that she would set for America.

ON CLINTON IN PRIMARIES/GENERAL ELECTION:

HANNITY: Yes. She recently said, Governor, in an article with David Yepsen in “The Des Moines Register” — she talked about how Iowa “would be a special burden” for her, or special obstacle for her, because when you look at the numbers, how can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi, talking specifically about the numbers of women that have had — had been elected to high office.

Is that what you have found? She since has apologized to Mississippi over this.

M. ROMNEY: Well, you know, I don’t whether she’s going to be able to attract voters in those states. I think she’ll be able to get a certain portion of the Democratic base and a number of Independents.

But I fundamentally think the people will not vote based upon someone’s gender or their race, or their religion, for that matter. I think they’re going to look at what their vision is for the future of the country, where they would take it, and whether they had the experience and skills to actually lead a nation of our scale in such a critical time.

And I think the greatest drawback beyond the direction she’d take us is that she’s never run anything. She’s never had the occasion of being in the private sector, running a business, or, for that matter, running a state or a city. She hasn’t run anything, and the government of the United States is not a place for a president to be an intern. You need to have experience actually leading and running things.

1. Actually I found that funny.
But then my view may be colored by my strong objection to Hillary.

2. OK, let's measure the candidates by what they did in the private sector, Mitt.
Seeing as your time in the private sector involved buying up companies, firing their employees, and selling them off piecemeal, I think we know all we need to know about your thoughts on the American economy.

3. Hey, MittHead!
"We’d have a weaker military. I think we’d have a weaker economy. I think our family structure will be weaker on all those bases. I think America would not remain the great nation it has always been ..."

Looks like Bush has beat everyone to the punch here. We already have a weaker military and weaker economy, and America is no longer the great nation it once was.

Where have you been for the last six years? Living in a cave?

4. Let's get on track here. This is about Obama's homophobia.

14. "The garment is believed to be a spiritual shield ..."
"The garment is believed to be a spiritual "shield and protection" against the powers of evil (and against physical harm, according to some adherents)."

But does it protect against skid marks? ;-)

10. We'll be weak, like Europe?
Is that the same Europe that has a trade surplus with the US? that the US is net in debt to? that the US defends for free, to the great detriment of our own economic wellbeing? the Europe with less crime, fewer teen pregnancies, fewer abortions...? ...etc...

What, exactly, would be the big downside of us being more like Europe?
