Foreign Policy Really Is Foreign to Mitt Romney

http://www.thenation.com/blog/170747/foreign-policy-really-foreign-mitt-romney


Mitt Romney’s just not that into foreign policy.

The hapless Republican nominee for president spent most of the only foreign-policy debate of the 2012 fall campaign mumbling lines like:
“I want to underscore the—the same point the president made…”
“That was something I concurred with…”
“I supported his—his action there…”
“I don’t blame the administration…”
“…do as the president has done…”
“… and feel the president was right…”
“I congratulate him for what he has done.”
On drones, on Syria, even on Libya, Romney agreed with the president. Romney even appeared to shift his stance on the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, steering toward a position that suddenly parallels the administration plan for a 2014 exit strategy. Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, described Romney as an “inexperienced” “Etch-A-Sketch candidate” who is not ready to be president.
for someone who has soooo much in common with his opponent i say as Romney said " nothing will change" he was referring to medicare but that too was a lie.
is the Pres. plan so good the right could not come up with anything better?  so why have the billionaires spent hundreds of millions just for what we already have but without the deceit and treachery and desire togut at very least 47% of us.
Undecided voters surveyed by CBS agreed, indicating in a snap poll that Obama had won the commander-in-chief test by a staggering 53-23 margin. That was a wider margin than Romney got after the first debate that was broadly seen as his big win.
yet rightys out there claiming victory but strangely absent was the chest thumping and the roll call of lie supporters trumpeting "excelsior". could it be that was one lie they could stomach.
