Two of Mitt Romneys top surrogates told reporters Thursday the Romney campaigns not worried about the torrent of negative press surrounding Romneys visit to London. Americans dont care about foreign press, they said.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell both rumored to be potential vice presidential choices for Romney defended Romney from the embarrassing headlines in London on a press call set up by the Romney campaign.
Jindal and McDonnell were trying to highlight continuing efforts to turn President Obamas out-of-context you didnt build that quote into a Republican rallying cry.
They insisted the multiple Romney blunders in England wont ultimately do any damage to his campaign.

(20,776 posts)They want to build a wall around the entire country anyway. They don't care what the world thinks cause, the rest of the world doesn't live here, and those that do, they WANT GONE!!. They just want us to arm everyone, build bigger missiles and weapons of mass destruction, and want to send more soldiers over seas to "KICK SOME ASS!!
These people should not be in politics.. they should be getting mental evaluations.

Now he's been made the running joke with a place in the spotlight and they are going to fuck him up without mercy. When the american public sees Romney being laughed at openly for his normal behavior this is going to bleed over.

Bobby (Mock volcano monitoring) Jindal? STFU already idiot.
McDonnell...who are you again?
You are defending a man who tied his dog to the roof of a car, he tripped his daughter-in-law to win a race. He fought for hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to "singlehandedly save the Olympics"
You want to be his #2man?
