Republicans decide that someone they don't like is a "liar" and that's that!
Liar? Hmmm. Like when Mitt said all his money is in a "blind trust" when it isn't?
Or when he accused one of his opponents of saying "Spanish" is a "ghetto language" and then denies he said it?
Or that our Navy today is smaller than it was in 1917?
and so on.
Actually, it was one of his ads that made that accusation about 'spanish'. Ad has been withdrawn.
And, you are aware that the claim about the Navy being smaller is, technically, accurate - despite the bullshit on factcheck.org. Try checking with US Ship Force Levels and use the standard Navy metric (ships, not personnel). And, hey presto, Romney is right.
Seems to me that the same people who screamed like banshees about Obama's misspeaks are now holding the GOP to the standard that they, themselves, failed to meet.
Curious.
Looks like Romney has more problems...........
Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out appeared on MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show on Thursday night to discuss how former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney indirectly helped fund so-called pray away the gay therapy.
The Tyler Charitable Foundation, set up and funded by the Romneys, donated $10,000 in 2006 to the Massachusetts Family Institute, which promotes the ex-gay therapy. The charity also donated $25,000 to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which opposes same sex marriage and has compared LGBT activists to the terrorist group al Qaeda.
Besen noted that one of the ex-gay organizations promoted by the Massachusetts Family Institute claims that gay men can become more masculine by drinking Gatorade and calling their friends dude.
There is nothing scientific about these groups, he said. Theyre rejected by every respected medical and mental health organization in the world.
Basically anybody with credibility rejects attempts to change sexual orientation.

Discuss............
So he donated to a group that specifically focuses on 'fixing' gay people?
No.
Actually, the Mass Family Institute focuses on:
Gambling
Human Sexuality
Internet Safety
Marriage and Family
Parental Rights and Education
Pornography
Religious Freedom
Statutory Rape
Transgender Rights
Massachusetts Family Institute | Dedicated to Strengthening the Family
Partisan morons accept the media bullshit from Madcow and the like. Intelligent posters do a few minutes of investigations.
I suppose somebody in his organization should have an understanding as to exactly what his contributions are funding. However the dollar amounts are small in relation to Romney's total donations so tough to point a firm finger.
I like the theory that Gatorade consumption will remove the gay!
Hey.......he did contribute to this, knowing full well what the organization was about.
He's also stated he wants to bring back DADT and kick all the openly serving gays out.
Nope, he's gonna have a hard row to hoe.

Did the Navy have 4,000 modern fighter jets in 1917? Stop with the assholery. When Mitt, in extremely rehearsed Spanish, says at the end of that commercial, "I"m Mitt Romney, and I approve this message", then it's his message.
Besides, don't most Republicans find what he said to be true? I'm sure a lot of conservatives like what they heard.
Can you provide evidence of this strong GOP establishment resistance to Reversible Mittens?
Today, the media is focusing on new polls suggesting a Newt Gingrich surge in the Republican nomination fight. Yet another interesting aspect of the polls is that they also show Republican voters are still stubbornly resisting a Mitt Romney nomination.
Yet it's worth noting that even with the increasing sense that Romney is inevitable, Republican voters are reluctant to rally around him. What we're seeing now is part of the pattern we've seen for months -- when one candidate falters, his or her support goes to somebody other than Romney.
All the obvious caveats apply -- these are national polls, whereas early state polls are what matter, and there's still plenty of time for people to get behind Romney. But the continued resistance should be of at least some concern to establishment Republicans. Anti-Obama sentiment may go a long way in energizing the GOP base, but a lack of enthusiasm for the nominee could remain a problem.

Oh you didn't realize the GOP base have been resisting Mitt the whole way...?

You want to play word games? 
Drinking Gatorade and calling someone "dude" doesn't make you straight.
I've known a gay person or two who DID drink Gatorade, and called people "dude", but they were trying to stay hidden.
Hmmm............by that logic, would drinking tea and calling everyone "darling" make a person gay?
The GOP establishment and the GOP base are not the same things...
I think I've established that I never have a kind word to say about the Weird Mormon Robot the GOP establishment is foisting on us.
Bullshit, the GOP establishment is foisting him upon us. American voters are making their choice DESPITE the GOP establishment's strong resistance to Romney...

Many of the GOP establishment base, whatever you want to call them, have been absolutely resisting a Mitt Romney nomination...
the biggest story to come out of this event has to be both the hostility between evangelicals and Team Romney and the absolute endorsement for Not Romney.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney claimed victory at the Iowa caucus late Tuesday night, but his failure to capture a decisive majority vote shows a lingering resistance from many Republicans who have repeatedly looked for someone - almost anyone - else.
Highlighting important divisions within the Republican Party, over three-quarters of Iowa Republicans still favored someone else, and may indicate that Romney's nomination battle could drag on longer than his campaign would like.
Despite his position as default frontrunner, outside his familiar Northeastern territory Romney struggles to capture a strong majority of support. Since he announced his candidacy in June, Romney has rarely posted more than 25 percent in national polls.
But it seems Republicans are not as much bothered by the bleak picture for Romney as by seeing alternative Republican frontrunners fizzling out one after another.
This so-called "anybody but Romney" phenomenon seems to primarily be driven by traditional Republican stalwarts such as Newt Gingrich - who derisively refers to Romney as a "Massachusetts moderate" and doubts if he is conservative enough to represent the Republican party - and the social conservatives and religious interest groups who distrust Romney's switched positions on abortion and other social issues.
Mitt Romney has an evangelical problem because evangelicals have a Mitt Romney problem.
This is a troubling concern for the GOP frontrunner for the 2012 nomination. Evangelicals have been a dominant constituency in Republican politics since Ronald Reagan assembled his winning coalition of fiscal, foreign policy, and moral conservatives back in 1980. Ever since then, successful GOP candidates for the White House have made sure to have this group on their side. This is especially important for anyone approaching South Carolina, where evangelical Christians are especially well represented (60 percent of likely voters). But the former Massachusetts governor is having a hard time winning them over.

The man's lost 2 out of three primaries and 70% of Republicans would prefer to have someone else.
No, the Establishment of the GOP wants this guy, bad. The rank and file doesn't want him, but they are being bombarded by all sorts of bullshit about anyone who opposes him,
And when a lot of them stay home or vote for Third Parties in November, you can come back here and whine about how we wuz all bigots against Mormons.
