How Many More Times Will Romney’s Team Have to Apologize for Him Before They Walk Out?

August 5, 2012 by Prairie Weather 3 Comments

Seems to be Romney’s campaign team has had to do an awful lot of “walking back” lately. Ever tried to walk back for a long distance? It gets painful. Pretty soon you quit unless you’re a Ripley freak.

Romney starts by asserting, in a campaign speech, that Obama has put a barrier between the military and voting in Ohio.

President Obama’s lawsuit claiming it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period is an outrage. …Mitt Romney, quoted in Think Progress

And then the walk-back.

Romney’s spokesman, Ryan Williams, in an interview Saturday could point to no place in Obama’s lawsuit that seeks to restrict the rights of military voters… Think Progress

Fact:

Since 2005, Ohio has had in person early-voting in the three days prior to the election. This year, however, the Republican legislature in Ohio eliminated early voting during this period, except for members of the military. The Obama lawsuit is attempting to restore voting rights for all Ohioans, not restrict them for the military or any other group. ...Think Progress

By now, one needs to be pretty weird to back Romney. Take this “but he’s handsome!” example:

Speaking to a group of high-paying Republican donors yesterday in Sun Valley, Idaho, Clint Eastwood recalled his first encounter with Mitt Romney: a campaign ad he saw while filming Mystic River in Massachusetts ten years ago. ...Daily Intel

High-paying Republican donors? How much did they pay him?

“I said, God, this guy, he’s too handsome to be governor, but he does look like he could be president.”…Daily Intel

OMG.

Eastwood then proceeded to endorse Romney as the only person capable of implementing a “decent tax system” where “people are not pitted against one another as who’s paying taxes and who isn’t.” …Daily Intel
