Romney (R Gov MA) Positioning Himself as Homeland Security Expert

Now that is just funny.

He spoke at the Heritage Foundation yesterday and said we should:

- Wiretap mosques
- Conduct surveillance of foreign students
- Radically rethink how we guard against terrorism
- shift from training on response to prevention

His HS qualifications?
- He sits on a federal homeland security advisory council,
- He is "active on the issue with the National Governors Association"
- He "repeatedly speaks about the lessons the country has learned from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and, more recently, from Hurricane Katrina." Note he was NOT Governor of MA on September 11, 2001.

Referred to himself yesterday as ''red-state folk," and says he is a red speck in a blue state. Unbelievable.

1. Soon enough, he won't even be a red speck any more.
There's no way this fucker is going to win re-election as Governor.

2. He's not going to run
The Lt. Gov. is all set to go for the Repuke nomination for gov. since Romney is going for the big enchilada.

4. The Lt Gov's husband just cashed in $13 million in stock options
and with that kind of money she has already scared away Rep opponents

We cannot keep giving away the Corner office

Whatever happens in the primary the Dems need unity after Sept 06 in MA

5. I think the Dems have a strong leading contender in Reilly
you may not love him/may love him, but he is a good candidate for the purpose of taking away the corner office.

6. I absolutely agree with that.
He's well known, he's done a good job, and I definitely think he can beat anyone. And yes, I would hope my fellow Bay Staters would learn their lessons after Swift and Romney.

7. I'm planning on voting for Deval Patrick
I think Reilly is currently in the perfect job for Reilly

Although I will wholeheartedly support whoever gets the win in the primary

9. Wonder how ol' Shit would feel if they wiretapped the LDS temple?
Those Mormons doing Elohim only knows what in their secret ceremonies, which the public is never allowed to attend.

Maybe BYU students should be under surveillance. And if Donny & Marie albums aren't weapons of mass destruction, I don't know what is.

(No offense to any Mormons out there, if any, but Shit Romney is a flaming carpetbagging hypocrite)
