In 2004 when John Kerry said he was for the 87 billion before he was against it, Republicans took that totally out of context and got plenty of mileage out of it.
Now, it's just Romney's turn in the barrel.
Actually it gave us insight to his personality.
He was against something but he was trying to take credit for being for it.
No. You're ignorant of the true story too.
He was for it when the bill included provisions to PAY for the 87 billion. Bush vowed to veto the bill if those provisions were in it.

I know the story behind it....but Kerry was trying to take credit for it. He was being honest about what he did and yet dishonest, and it blew up in his face. You can't be for and against something at the same time.......unless you're a politician.
The difference here is we used Kerry's words against him whereas you and others are attempting to change what Romney said. Attempting to tweak his words to suit your purposes.
Let's take a moment to remind everyone of THIS:

An objective observer might say that Romney is getting nothing more now than a taste of his own medicine.

He wasn't for it and against it at the same time. He was for it in one form, against it in the other. As was Bush.
Did DWS take Romney's words out of context? The comments from her that I find don't seem to (DNC boss: Mitt Romney callous, insensitive - MJ Lee - POLITICO.com). Indeed, she volunteers that he was talking about insurance providers, then correctly notes that his statement about firing people was made more generally.
Even if DWS did take Romney's words out of context, it would be far from the most dishonest thing that either political party does. See, eg, Romney's own "pants on fire" statements on politifact.
I don't have a moral problem with what Romney said, but it was politically boneheaded. His biggest political liability may be that he made a lot of money at Bain by firing people (among other things of course), so what does he say? "I like being able to fire people". Asking the DNC to ignore that is like leaving a nice juicy ham on the floor overnight and expecting your dog to leave it alone.
So the DNC is a bunch of dogs?
That's insulting to dogs.
Dogs are much more trustworthy.
Quite frankly? They project what they really are and do upon others. They are deceivers. It's who they are.It really doesn't matter to some on the left if they're repeating a lie. They've been doing that for too long to change. DWS admitted that it doesn't matter if the quote was intentionally taken out of context, because she says it fits in with their belief (or their attempts to make) Romney look(s) less palatable to conservatives and independents alike because of the his past decisions.
It's all bullshit, but they fully intend on fostering this lie till it becomes accepted by all that it is a lie.
This is how they operate.
It's exactly like the lie they made up about Newt Gingrich handing his cancer-ridden wife divorce papers on her death-bed.....or the lie that the Tea Party is radical, full of terrorists, and racists.....and that the GOP is the party of dirty air and dirty water.
Both sides do it... wait till the general election when the GOP SuperPacs come out in force. Will your outrage be there then? Or will it only involve Progressive SuperPac ads?
his fauxrage is always selective.
Could you please expand on the comments you made earlier and that I put in bold?
Thank you
How can I expand on "it's not a lie he said it"? It's not a falsehood because he is on video stating "I like firing people". The only way that could be taken out of context is if he was telling a story about his days at the circus and said "I like firing people out of cannons" and the last part was snipped.
Does that clear it up for you?
Got a link to that video? Because the only one I've seen, he said "I like being able to fire people". Key word 'able'.
Bingo1) Ayers did say it
2) I wish all people who aspire to be cop killers and terrorists would die a horrible death, preferably in a way eerily similar to their own actions... no matter the
political or religious affiliation
He did not say he wish he had made more bombs! That what he said was taken out of context is the point. Nice how you go on a tangent about how you believe the out of context messages you been exposed too.
When asked if he regretted his past, he said "My only regret is that we did not do enough". Did he say he 'regretted' planting bombs? No. Did he feel any remorse about killing an individual? No. He regretted that they stopped.
Bill Ayers is a terrorist who should be in prison, but he's teaching the next generation. And, apparently, you're ok with that. That says a lot about you.
This is about as dishonest as you can get.
Mitt Romney said he likes being able to fire his insurance company if they don't provide the service he wants.
DNC Chairwoman Debby Wassurman-Schultz jumped on this to imply Mitt just loves to fire people.
FOXNews called her on it this morning and she refused to admit that she was taking the sound bite out of context.
I think anyone who uses the comment is being totally dishonest.
Btw, John Huntsman jumped on the comment too, so to be fair, some Repugs tend to be just as deceptive as the DNC.

His goal was to stop the war is SE Asia. He regretted not doing enough to stop the war. I was not okay with the Vietnam war and the military impressing (slavery?) young men into killing and dying a half a world away from home.
Mitt should have learned by now how the media
will sell this as Mitt likes to fire people.
He should also know by now the intellect of the American voter.
I saw Chris Mathews and Al Sharpton sell this as Mitt likes to fire people.
The average voter in this country walks away from the TV thinking just that.
Sad that this is politics.
Sadder that the American voter will fall for it...

It does not matter. This country will not elect a Morman to the white house.

If a Mormon gets the Republican nomination, I bet you they will.
