Bill Clinton: Praising Romney's business record doesn't connote endorsement

But at a rally in Paterson to support Rep. Bill Pascrell, Clinton said his remarks got "twisted around."


"I said, you know, Governor Romney had a good career in business and he was a governor, so he crosses the qualification threshold for him being president," Clinton said. "But he shouldn't be elected, because he is wrong on the economy and all these other issues.


"So today, because I didn't attack him personally and bash him, I wake up to read all these stories taking it out of context as if I had virtually endorsed him, which means the tea party has already won their first great victory: 'We are supposed to hate each to disagree.' That is wrong."

For any reason.

Just when should we be expecting praise from the Republicans for Obama?

Oh that's right, NEVER! Because they bar no holds, they play cutthroat and as ruthless as possible. Being nice to them at all is foolish weakness and you have to HATE them. These aren't reasonable people, they are unrepentant psychos with nothing but power hunger and a willingness to do anything to achieve it.

These right wing extremists need to be made extinct and that is not going to happen by playing nice and praising the vultures.

The damage has already been done and we look like idiots again. And you have to wonder if that is not the point.

F-ing moron who meets them

Requirement to be POTUS:

The person must be a natural-born citizen of the United States and must have been a permanent resident of the United States of America for at least 14 years. Additionally, a candidate must not have served more than one previous term as president, not have been impeached by the Senate, and not have participated in a rebellion against the United States. Candidate must be at least 35 years of age.

GD Moderates always want to have it both ways, F-em, they have all but destroyed the Democratic party with their turd way nonsense.

The crumbs of good we get from Moderates does not out weigh the damage they cause by supporting destructive puke policies.
