if he were a Democrat, Romney would be called a traitor tonight

While the U.S. State department is in sensitive negotiations to get a chinese dissident out of Beijing...

Mitt Romney is stepping out and calling it a "dark day for the freedom" and "shame for the Obama administration".

If something like this happened in '04, right wing radio would RIGHTFULLY be lambasting Kerry.

The difference is that Kerry is a patriot and would never OPENLY root against his country the way Romney is.



Hillary is in the process of making Romney look pathetic again.... and good for her.


Romney is a fucking traitor.

aren't they attacking Romney for speaking against the President and State Department, right in the middle of a very sensitive event?

Liberal? hahahahaha "MSM is liberal" is the biggest most successful whopper since the de-regulation of the 1980s

would never qualify as a Democrat, at least not as a 21st century Democrat.

There are some so-called Democrats of the "Reagan Dem" and "Southern Dem" types that he would fit right in with. But in today's party, no way - not even with the Blue Dogs, bad as they are.

that does not mean we would sit idly by and not call the nominee to task for a what is clearly a despicable action. That is true.

You are correct, that if a Democrat had pulled something like this, there would be hell to pay.

Yes, Romney is a traitor. So is the entire GOP.

to gain power again, that is and has been their goal for the last 3 years.

When Obama wins in November.... if the Senate does not have 60 reliable Dem votes, which we will not see Manchin and his ilk, we get 4 more years of the same.

That is the reality today.

Progress will require much more then electing people with a (D) after their name.

Quality always trumps quantity.

Where he has hidden money overseas to avoid paying his dues, bought and sold people's jobs, and destroyed companies sending their jobs overseas. But, very true, he needs to keep his mouth shut.

They called an emergency hearing on Human Rights violations in China - JUST to belittle our President in every way possible for his "unexcuseable" neglect.

They actually had a few citizens there to discuss the disgusting way the Chinese Gov't treats its citizens. They were allowed to speak - but that was not the purpose of the hearing.

The hearing was solely held to paint this administration as horribly flawed in foreign relations.

It was despicable.
