Quote from TheBlackHand:
Romney's another fool who will embarrass Americans in a similar way Bush did; by constantly putting his foot in his mouth. He's an idiot of the highest order. A privileged background doesn't imply brains or someone fit for office. Bush also demonstrated that point quite well.
Romney has just returned from a 6 day 'world tour', visiting 6 countries. In each country, he embarrassed himself and America. This is deeply unfortunate, as I know your average American isn't as stupid as he is.
He simply doesnt have the diplomatic skills to be President. End of.
Regan, maybe Bush snr were the best Republicans. Since these two, the rest are just a bunch of clowns.
America is going to have one hell of a fight on its hands as it struggles with Chinese dominance. You dont want a clown leading the country under those conditions.
Find another Republican if you must (too late?) or put up with Obama. At least he hasnt insulted the world.
You're right, while he did initially walk back those comments on Israeli prosperity, he has now walked back that walking back.Quote from jem:
he is not walking back anything, he is now doubling down... after apparently reading my previous comment on another thread here at ET, It looks like Romney fully adopted my position.
smart guy.
And as for the Israeli comment...you don't have to say jews are good with money to understand that a culture which does not allow interest is going to have trouble spreading opportunity around...

Besides Jews are good with money. Screw the P.C. shit coming from the Isreali govt.
I tell my kids they should like for fields which reward IP or fields with big upside which reward smart people.
Surprise. jewish people far out represent their 2% of the population.
Doctors, lawyers, dentists, entertainment companies, banking, wall street.
I consider my observation to be one of respect. If you are going to work hard, you might as well work smart too.
Jews are smart in picking fields with money.
So are the gentiles from where I grew up.
Quote from jem:
The support has weakened.
Makes sense, really. Say all the nice things you want and that's great, but it's the money that really says, "I love you". Not that Romney wouldn't continue to, or even increase, financial support of our <del>base</del> ally in the ME.Quote from AK Forty Seven:
The support is still very strong.Poll is from a jem honest poll

As Romney heads to Israel, new poll shows Jewish Americans favor Obama
Posted by
CNN's Dana Davidsen
(CNN) â On the eve of Mitt Romney's overseas visit to Israel, a new poll released Friday indicates Jewish Americans favor the president over Mitt Romney by a solid margin.
According to the Gallup survey, 68% of Jewish Americans back President Barack Obama, while 25% support the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
The numbers follow what some have called a politically timed signing of the U.S.-Israeli security act by the president declaring support for the country before Romney's visit to the Jewish state. Obama signed the bill passed by Congress pledging $70 million to increase U.S. security ties with Israel.
Romney's visit to Israel is part of a three-country foreign policy swing that will take the former Massachusetts governor from London to Tel Aviv on Saturday, then to Poland next week. The Republican candidate is expected to promote a strong alliance between Israel and the United States while meeting with top Israeli officials.
