Romney's Gerald Ford Moment

For those not in the know, former president Ford, during the 1976 campaign, stated in a debate that the Poles were not under Russian domination. It was considered a huge gaffe, and helped Carter get elected.

"
Romney talked about the possibility of the "Soviets" invading Poland"

OOOPS!!!!

Bye-bye to the VP slot, Mitty!

DENVER - Romney may have undercut his message when he questioned whether Obama could deal with a situation such as Russia's recent invasion of the Republic of Georgia. Romney talked about the possibility of the "Soviets" invading Poland, catching his mistake only after a reporter asked whether he was talking about the Russians.

But on another issue that the two former rivals contested during the primaries - what to do with 12 million illegal immigrants - Romney said approvingly that McCain has adopted his position. McCain had come under fierce criticism from Romney and other conservatives for his advocacy of a comprehensive reform plan - backed by Bush - that included controversial provisions such as a guest worker program for noncitizens. But McCain now says that the only politically feasible solution is to pass a border security bill first.

Depends on who McCain is talking to!

How in the fuck did he capture this nomination, huh?

And isn't it nice that Mitt Romney can tell you Repuglicans a bald-faced lie?
