1. So Romney's defense is that his words don't mean what they mean?

And if you read the article it gets worse, much worse.

The campaign contends Romney's comparison of countries that are close to each other and have wide income disparities — the U.S. and Mexico, Chile and Ecuador — shows his comments were broader than just the comparison between Israel and Palestine.

This asshat has no idea of the complexities that cause poverty. Or, the role the United States plays in keeping some nations poor. How, much the US has interfered with other countries economies, I don't know I am not an expert. But, I know it is not zero interference. I know we have occupying forces in many countries and I don't think we are their to ensure the health of their economy. I can speculate that we are their to protect the interest of US, businesses. But, hey maybe we are just their to...errrrrrr what. Why do we have troops in 160 nations?
