Romney: A Good Man...say liberals?

Normally, Republicans would have to have been crucified in Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago AND have a triple-A rating with Standard and Poor’s, which is one rating higher than the entire United States of America, before liberals could say anything nice about any of them, right?   Particularly shortly before an election?
BUT...the following video is an astonishing conversation with CBS’ Charley Rose, Jeff Benedict, who recently wrote a book about Mitt Romney, Oprah's friend Gail King, and other liberals... Imagine that bunch absolutely glowing about Romney?   Well, you don't have to imagine anymore...here goes:

Gail King even quotes David Checketts, someone she obviously thinks a lot of, as saying 'Mitt Romney is one of the five smartest people I know'!    I don't know if this group was out drinking before they taped this conversation and forgot their goals in life, but they were sure drunk on Romney!
We are pleased to see that liberals finally agree with us:  Mr. Romney is a good man.  We also believe he is well qualified to become President of the United States.

Actually, Checketts is a Mormon businessman who Gail King obviously had great respect for.
The Video says a lot...I know it would be tough for you to watch, Ducky, but I'd have thought you'd be eager to see liberals move from ideological to fair. Just for the rarity.

The Quackster don't have any right to an opinion here, after all his defense of a Lying sack of crap.
The Benghazi fiasco is just part and parcel of the last 4 years of Obama's disastrous, failed policies.
For four years, Obama, and his administration along with the news media have been covering up for him and his dishonest acts. Especially when it come to his defending Islamist terrorism as if this last attack had nothing at all to do with terrorism, or any connection to Al qaeda. When in this case as in every other case, these attacks were perpetrated by Muslims hell bent on killing Americans an on world domination.
The manner in which Obama handled the Benghazi attack and the way that he acted in response to it is nothing less than scandalous; and showed that he has a complete LACK of leadership and that Barack Obama has failed test, period.
The big lie in this case, and there is NO getting away from it, is that piss-poor excuse internet about a video clip, promoting a movie that may not even exist. And even Candy Crowley can’t help his get out of that one. Even with Hillaty Clintoon’s loyalty.
And let’s not let U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s controversial comments on Libya days and days after the attack where she blamed the film as well go unanswered either, she should have been TOLD to step down a long time ago. . . Obama and America’s favorite Smirking Chimp Joe Biden have been lying through their teeth for the path 2 months and must be held accountable.

I think we've been punked. Surely this was a video altered with voice overs. What happened to hating the rich? Maybe Gail King fins that a difficult position considering she's made her claim to fame riding her best friend, ultra-rich Oprah. A woman who DID build her own empire.

The Obamboozler (AKA: the Benghazi Bullshooter) has got Nuthin! Empty Suit, Empty Chair, Empty Promises, Empty Economy, Empty Head.

Obama fell flat as he tried to make fun of his first debate, and hopefully he will be fully exposed on tonight's debate....go Mitt!

WOW, nobody astionished to hear the reverence of these libs for ROMNEY? I mean, this isn't just "ya, so he's a nice guy"...they're practically tripping over each other to say HOW great a guy he is and always has been ..
I could watch this thing over and over again!
Actually, has anybody watched it? :)

It's shocking.

There's always a "but" when statements like this are made.

RINOs have been know to comment on what a nice person, a good man, Obama is, then there is the "but", ... But he had done a terrible job,

still waiting to hear from liberals of all the kind acts Obama has done. There is one I know of. He organized protests for Citibank to force them to give out mortgages to unqualified people.
Z-there was some speculation it may be the the party that was held for Rashid Khalid that the LA Times has been hiding. Would love to see that. Or perhaps Obama's academic record or lack there of. either one would suit me just fine.

I haven't seen anything about spreading this clip around! I WILL be posting this on facebook and BEGGING all my friends there to do the same. I hope all of you take what ever actions are available to you to do the same. I went right to youtube to view this and there were only about 3 or 4 hundred views so far. Let's see if we can make it 3 or 4 MILLION views!

I think Rita is correct; this must be a doctored video. Either that, or we are all hallucinating. Either that, or we are coming to the end of the world.

Coming to the end of the world doesn't bother me so much; I just hate the idea of having to spend eternity with Ducky.

The Mormons whom I personal acts of charity. It is a part of the Mormon faith to do a lot of good works.

The Mormon Church did an incredible act of service for my family. My cousin, with young twins, was deep into drug addiction for over 10 years.

My cousin lived quite far out in out in the country, and every time she treid to get treatment, which is easily available closer to D.C., she took "detours." The situation for my cousin and her family was hideous. All of us in the extended family despaired of any hope for my cousin, her kids, and the marriage.

Out of nowhere came the local LDS to help!

The LDS cleaned up the kids, fixed meals, paid for my cousin's drug-addiction treatment, and even made house payments for two months until my cousin got clean. And, several years later, my cousin is still clean! Amazing!

And the marriage survived too. Also amazing!

Yes, my cousin did convert to LDS. However, the pressure wasn't on for her to do so.

I saw my cousin the other day. She is a changed person -- a real person. I do give the Mormon Church a lot of the credit for the change in my cousin's life.

I have major problems with the tenets of Mormonism and with the history of the Mormon Church. That said, there are lot of good things in the way that Mormons today conduct their lives.

Typo alert!

The Mormons whom I personal should read "whom I personally know."

A U.S. ambassador is missing and his diplomatic team is desperately fighting off terrorist attacks. Our commander-in-chief and his national-security team in Washington are listening to the phone calls from the Americans under attack and watching real-time video from a drone circling overhead. Yet the U.S. military sends no aid. Our diplomats and the few people they had for security purposes fought for seven hours without any aid from outside the country. Four Americans were brutally murdered while the Obama national security team and the members of our Secretary of State passively watched and listened.. Why?
Where was Obama when that telephone rang at 3:00 AM?
An American Ambassador, and 3 other American citizens under attack and our Leaders are all watching this LIVE real-time from a drone circling overhead. Yet the U.S. military sends no aid. Why? And our President and his Secretary of State and his UN Ambassador are standing right in front of the TV cameras lying to us for 5 days about it! How freaken shameful could they get? And this Guy is asking us to re-elect him for another 4 years? What a freaken joke that it. And better yet, half of the country is going to!

aow, this has been in keeping with my personal experience, as well. there is a large lds community here on my mountain - they take care of EVERYONE. when my mother passed last spring, and i had an exchange student to deal with & had no idea how long i'd be gone, they stepped and took care of every little thing including getting me back & forth to the airport so i didn't have to leave my truck since mr. j's car was already there since he was out of town. i didn't know these people, they live across the street from me, but they were truly a gift from g-d. when i thanked them with baked goods & a gift card for amc theatres it was if i had embarassed them...

Rita said...

Sam: That last line made me laugh. Surely the Good Lord wouldn't be that cruel.

Brooke said...

What?!? You mean Romney is a nice guy who practices the principles of his faith to do good to others without tooting his own horn? A basic principle that is stated in the Bible (do not be like the hypocrites, for they have their own reward-paraphrasing) ?

Well, it couldn't be because the MSM is ignoring that side of the candidate, could it?

I'm actually amazed this video made it to the light of day!

WAIT till you guys read Mustang's terrific post for tomorrow...I've been laughing my bottom off here at work reading his excellent draft he sent me.

BY THE WAY....in the video, they even mention that Romney does tons of nice things with NO PRESS around...

and, hey, Sam and Rita REALLY have me worried because I HONESTLY BELIEVE my video is SO OUTRAGEOUSLY complimentary to ROmney and their earnestness is SO apparent in wanting people to know this side of him that it IS THAT hard to believe that you guys have made me wonder if it IS lip synced!! I'm THAT amazed by the sentiment.

I am actually surprised that Oprah's best-friend said that about Romney. I wonder if Oprah called her up and balled her out.

I am quite impressed that even liberals are seeing a different side of Romney.

Great video.

Kid said...

Romney is an experienced adult who knows and appreciates how capitalism works.

obama is a child that doesn't even understand what he says in debates or any other scripted situation. Get him to talk of his love is islam and his hate of America and America's traditional allies and he'd light up like a 4 year old on Christmas morning.

Bob said...

The polls indicate that two or three hundred million dollars of negative advertising against Romney did not pay off. People are too smart for that. Now, we even heard Obama say that Romney is a good man.

We are waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it will in the next couple of weeks.

Leticia, the rumor is that Oprah and Michelle didn't get along BIG TIME and Oprah's turned off Obama.
I'm not saying she's a Republican but I'll never forget her interview with Bush, after which she said "I finally get this guy and like him"...

I didn't see the debate...am going to watch it now on CNN.

What did you all THINK?

You may be right. If so it's a very sad commentary on the collective intellingence of this Nation. If that's the case I find , at least, one reason for getting old!

MY GOD, Obama is one MEAN MAN...he's doing nothing but insult Romney.

"what I'VE done.."
"MY presidency.."
" I did.."
"What I want to do.."

I have NEVER heard a president talk about what HE's going to do more than this guy. It's usually "My staff" "Our soldiers.." "We worked on.."

Not with OBAMA. And the way he's so clipped in his speaking and speaks so DOWN to people. GAD.


I can't listen to too much more; he DISGUSTS me.

Well, these liberals / leftists recognize Romney as one of their own. Of course they're happy with him. They know that in the off chance that Romney manages to win the White House, there will not be any conservative or libertarian bid for the White House until at least the 2020 or 2024 election.

Mitt Romney agreed with Obama's foreign policy in tonight's debate so much I was left wondering why he's running against him in the first place. It was all "I'll do exactly the same thing Obama has done and is doing, but 'better.'"

Never in my life would I have imagined a Republican losing a foreign policy debate, but that is precisely what Romney did.

We're going to encourage the Islamic world to de-radicalize by giving it money? Mitt, are you goddamn stoopid? "If you don't bomb one of our shopping malls, we'll give you nice stuff."

Talk about giving away the jizyah candy store.

Obama's foreign policy is solid, and mostly unassailable, because it's a continuation of Bush policy whether Obama's man enough to admit it or not.

Romney came off as an ass clown tonight. Probably because he's an ass clown.

Heidi,
Thank you for telling us that you've had similar experiences with members of the LDS.

Last night, I watched most of the debate. I wasn't so much tired as bored, and I went to bed before the debate ended.

Romney stammered almost from the git-go. Sheesh.

Romney, overall, played softball. He got in a few good zingers, but that's about it.

Frankly, Romney "made love to" Pakistan way too much. He also showed way too much concern about deaths in Syria but didn't even mention that our own are being killed by the very Afghans that are supposedly our allies in training.

Romney must have decided not to be confrontational because he's ahead in the polls right now.

And Obama had the advantage as the incumbent, particularly because Libya was never thoroughly discussed.

This morning, I watched the closing statements. Romney's closing statement was much better than Obama's in several ways; specifically, Romney was more optimistic about America's future under different leadership.

But most of the time during the debate, Romney let Obama get away with too many lies and agreed with what Obama's steps in foreign policy too much. Perhaps Romney was wary of post-debate comments about racism?

In sum, last night neither man helped himself nor harmed himself to any significant extent.

Z,
I agree with you about Obama's ego showing too much. At one point, he shared credit with "Americans," but as an afterthought.

Ed Bonderenka said...

Romney had a larger game in mind.
He came off presidential.
I was disgusted by some Romney statements but I wasn't up there on the platform under the camera lights.
He didn't lose.
By that he wins.

He did win by once again showing Obama's lies to the public.
Obama came off looking like a desperate teenager.

Z said...

I'm hoping many people on the fence about Obama saw how absolutely mean spirited and insulting he is.
Frankly, he was mimicking Axelrod last night; only Axelrod is THAT withering and I think the bayonets line, etc., were his. Although I believe Obama is a man full of hate and rage for his background and the bullying he must have had all these years as they've groomed him for this position. And the threats he's getting now, in my opinion of "you had better damned WELL win this election."

I don't believe I've seen uglier looks from a president than we saw on Obama last night...he does NOT take criticism well.

The lines about the navy were unbelievable. As if, in a world where we do commerce by sea everywhere, we don't need a strong navy for possible protection?

Beckel was on this morning standing up for Obama because Obama doesn't seem to have a plan...saying that presidents can't have plans for each area. When, of course, it's what strategic planners DO. We used to have IN DEPTH plans for whatever MIGHT HAPPEN in every area.
Is that gone, too?

Lisa said...

I never heard someone sound so good talking about so much BS. Of course Romney was the only adult a the table .Sheiffer kept letting the narcissist interrupt. I'm sorry but I can't even stand listening too him talk because that's all he does is talk.
And did you notice Obama's new "Death Stare"?
He makes everything sound like it's going so great while our economy is going off a cliff and the ME is about to implode. I guess I can give Obama kudos for lying so well and getting people to believe the lies.

Couldn't watch the video for some reason, but that surprises me, liberals like Romney in private.

Doesn't surprise me what they admitted, Conservatives are not the two horned monsters liberal retards promise us they are, the so-called fascist right only exists in their pot-addled fantasies.

Romney would be a far better president that obama could dream of being.

Don't be a dumbass and vote for obama again America.
