Recte:

"It would be helpful to have a person leading the country who understands
how the economy works and has actually managed something," the former
Massachusetts governor told reporters after a GOP fundraiser. "In the case
of the three Democratic front-runners, not one of them has managed even a
corner store, let alone a state or a city." -- Mitt Romney

Bingo!

"Hillary Clinton just gave a speech the other day about her view on the
economy. She said we have been an on-your-own society.  She said it's time
to get rid of that and replace that with shared responsibility and
we're-in-it-together society," Romney told the crowd.  "That's out with Adam
Smith and in with Karl Marx."

Bingo!  Hillary is a Limousine Socialist -- Read Her Wellesley Senior Thesis
For The Origins Of Her Political Philosophy.

Hillary, Obama & Edwards have never even been MAYOR of a large city or
GOVERNOR of a State.

Hell, Hillary can't even manage her own husband.

Romney Continues Assault on Democrats

22 July 2007

By PHILIP ELLIOTT

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took aim at Democratic
rivals on Sunday, calling them all unprepared to lead the country and
comparing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's economic plan to that of Socialist
Karl Marx.

"It would be helpful to have a person leading the country who understands
how the economy works and has actually managed something," the former
Massachusetts governor told reporters after a GOP fundraiser. "In the case
of the three Democratic front-runners, not one of them has managed even a
corner store, let alone a state or a city."

Romney, who leads Republicans in New Hampshire, has focused his criticism in
recent weeks on Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards
rather than rival Republicans. It's a strategy he hopes will help him
maintain his lead over Sen. John McCain and former New York Mayor Rudy
Giuliani.

"I wanted to focus on the Democrats," he said. "By and large, the best way
to further my interest is to let people know what I would do and to
distinguish that from what the Democrats would do."

Bingo!  In a nutshell, ACT like the presumed Republican nominee -- NOT just
a CONTENDER for the nomination -- ergo avoiding catfights with other
Republicans, insofar as possible -- living out Ronald Reagan's Eleventh
Commandment, in part. -- DSH

His prime target was Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton just gave a speech the other day about her view on the
economy.  She said we have been an on-your-own society.  She said it's time
to get rid of that and replace that with shared responsibility and
we're-in-it-together society," Romney told the crowd.  "That's out with Adam
Smith and in with Karl Marx."

A Clinton spokeswoman shot back, challenging Romney's record.

"Given how often Romney flip-flops, tomorrow he will be touting his
membership in the Communist Party," Kathleen Strand said.

Romney also repeated his criticism of Sen. John Edwards.

"To have someone like Senator Edwards stand up and say there's not a war on
terror, that it's a Bush bumper sticker" is unacceptable, he said. "There is
a war being waged by the terrorists. If I or any other Republican president
is running this country, there will be a war waged on the terrorists."

That BUMPER STICKER comment of Edwards' is going to come back to haunt him,
in spades. -- DSH

An Edwards spokeswoman said Romney's own vacillations should give voters
pause.

"It seems the only thing that Governor Romney has chosen to stand firm on is
the misguided, out-of-touch belief that we should continue with George
Bush's failed foreign policy in Iraq," Kate Bedingfield said.

Romney also attacked Obama's health care plan.

"Barack Obama said we're going to have to have the government take over
health care. He at least had the integrity to say he wants to raise your
taxes," Romney said. "The right answer is not a government takeover, it's
not socialized medicine. It's not Hillarycare."

At a town hall meeting in Exeter later Sunday, he said, "I don't want the
guys who ran the (Hurricane) Katrina cleanup running my health care system."

Earlier Sunday, Romney was in Washington courting Hispanic voters by
extolling the virtues of faith, family values and immigration.

"If you say, name people who are hardworking, seek education, love God, love
their families and value freedom - it's Hispanic-Americans, just like other
Americans," Romney told a crowd at the Republican National Hispanic
Assembly's annual convention.

BINGO! -- DSH

"I want to make sure we continue an open door in immigration that welcomes
people who come here with those kinds of values," he said.

BINGO! -- DSH

During an Iowa visit last week, Romney struck a hard line on illegal
immigration. He criticized Giuliani for making New York "a sanctuary city
for illegal aliens" by failing to enforce the immigration laws on the books.
Romney also noted that as governor, he had deputized state police to enforce
immigration laws and denied driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

Good Show!
