And, #Romneyshambles continues. Now Romney has managed to insult the Palestinians:

http://www.boston.com/news/world/middleeast/articles/2012/07/30/romney_courts_donors_before_leaving_israel/

"As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality," the Republican presidential candidate told about 40 wealthy donors who ate breakfast at the luxurious King David Hotel.

Romney said some economic histories have theorized that "culture makes all the difference."

"And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," Romney said, citing an innovative business climate, the Jewish history of thriving in difficult circumstances and the "hand of providence." He said similar disparity exists between neighboring countries, like Mexico and the United States.


So, the fact that the Gaza Strip, which is under economic blockade, and the West Bank, which is under Israeli occupation, don't have as good of a per capital GDP as Israel is because of Jewish culture and God?

Given that Israel is doing so well economically while the US faces a huge national debt, I wonder if Romney feels the over $3 billion in US assistance provided annually to Israel should be reconsidered? After all, even without US assistance, Israel will still have Jewish culture and God, right?

Romney is posturing as a "resolute" tough guy, quicker that the president to use military force. In reality, he's just another "chicken hawk," people like Dick Cheney and the neocons who "had other priorities" than military service themselves. Yet they're very quick to swagger and talk tough about using military force, when they have little idea of the sacrifices that the troops and their families go through.

The tv just said he promised to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Now he's not even flip flopping. He's just lying from the start.

Mitt, if you're so rich, why aren't you smart?

Host country needs to change their ways to accommodate mormonism

He the gift that keeps on giving to comedians:
HE HAD TO CANCEL A FUND RAISER WHY??

The dinner was scheduled for Tish B’av, a Jewish day of fasting to remember Holocaust victims and the destruction of the first and second Jerusalem temples. Romney’s team knew about the holiday because the invitation read, “Dietary laws will be observed. Refreshments will not be served until after the fast.” But they didn’t foresee that fundraising on such a solemn occasion would be insulting to his host country

He has had years to think this through.

What happened, Mitt? Were you hoping to get your homework done in London and had an unexpected debacle to straighten out there?

Or did your dog eat it?

Thanks Mittens: Brillian move buy oil futures the traders will use this blunder to drive the price right back up over $100 a bbl. I wonder how many of Mitts blind trusts will make a profit on this gaffe

Wonder when the Tea Party types will ask how he going to pay for starting another war?

"That news remained on the wires for nearly three hours, as local and international press struggled with the meaning of Senor's remark.

The Romney campaign, meanwhile, went dark, with much of his top staff asleep in Boston or in meetings with Israeli leaders, as an international firestorm built over how Senor's comments were being interpreted."

Senor has now "clarified" the remark to the point where it is now meaningless. So, in answer to the OP's original question: waffle-speak.

What now #RomneyKlots?

Time to implement the mormon dream for Israel
Mormons are distant cousins or the hebrew tribe
In the future mormons will have the right to move to Isreal just like the jews do

so he thinks voters are stupid and all they need if waffle-speak
That might be what the jewish voters want to hear right now, but they will in the end feel used.
Could he not get into specifics about what he is going to change? Or what his plan in detail is?

There has been peace in the middle east with Obama
With Romney there will not be peace.

Should I care if the middle east descides to self-destruct?

I don't know what this means, Romney "would respect that decision". Does it mean he is giving permission, in advance of even taking office? Or is this some sort of waffle-speak where he is trying to have it both ways?
