Bill Kristol: Romney Remarks ‘Arrogant And Stupid’

Conservative columnist Bill Kristol lit into Mitt Romney in the Weekly Standard over his leaked remarks that 47 percent of Americans are hopelessly dependent on government and thus will vote for President Obama.

"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve!)," Kristol wrote on Tuesday. "But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that Romney's comments, like those of Obama four years ago, are arrogant and stupid.

Noting that many of the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay income tax are core Republican groups like seniors and active military, Kristol added that "Romney seems to have contempt not just for the Democrats who oppose him, but for tens of millions who intend to vote for him."

2. "like those of 4 years ago by Obama"...except those were actually true...

...regardless of Kristol's revisionist memory, Mittens is in deep shit when characters like this ass-carrot start calling you out..

5. Obama references, were to some in Penn not the whole country and hoped to wjn them over

he did not write them off. Many of those 47% people Rmoney speaks of, live in Penn.
There is no equivalency.

8. Exactly my point...

...Obama's point was that even though those folks WEREN'T like him, he still wanted to represent them...unlike Mittens..

4. Sununu: " Oh yeah? well Obama is arrogant and stupid only more so!"

6. my fear is that he will, in fact, step down before the election.

Karl Rove has to have something up his sleeve.

10. could be he signed an un-dated resignation letter in return for HUGE funding support

BUT they would need him to be faltering MAJORLY in order to date it 'effective immediately' and still have it resonate with GOP voters as the right thing to do 'for the party'... blah blah blah

But given Rove's patterns, I think they'd have to pull a Rice/Ryan switcherooo (if that is even possible) to try and show there is some experience in the mix because even the stupidist of Republicans don't want two dumbed down leaders in office when it comes to national security.

11. I just dont see him stepping down. He is not a quitter. He

would rather lose and remain convinced that everyone else is out of step with him.

12. why would you fear him stepping down ?

9. Ryan-Rubio Ticket - babes in toyland

Talk about putting a couple of inexperienced-Palins at the head of the most powerful country in the world -- Kristol must be smoking some Kristol to even suggest that
