Romney’s Joke-O-Rama

Mitt Romney, parody of a man…

Republican presidential contenders sparred over abortion on Sunday but generally agreed the United States must remain in Iraq as part of the war on terror.

“Just come home,” countered Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the lone dissenter on a debate stage when it came to Iraq. He said there had never been a good reason to go to war in the first place.

“Has he forgotten about 9/11?” interjected former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Doesn’t that sound like a Saturday Night Live skit? Here’s a little more from the jokester:

But it was Romney forced on the defensive on the issue of abortion, when Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback defended automated phone calls his campaign had been making that highlight his rival’s one-time support for pro-choice policies.

Romney called it “desperate, maybe negative,” adding moments later, “I get tired of people that are holier than thou because they’ve been pro-life longer than I have.”

I don’t know if they are any people that have been pro-life less long than Mitt Romney. Here’s Romney commenting on Obama’s foreign policy.

“He’s gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week,” Romney said of Obama.

The Fonda part must have been when Obama said he’d be willing to talk with foreign leaders. The Strangelove part would then be the promise to capture and kill Usama bin-Laden in Pakistan.

Romney is a real twit.
