We wouldn't want to say we are wrong before anybody has to make a choice, now would we? Interesting that he “misspoke” AFTER the Iowa straw poll.

I'm becoming more feminist and more democrat by the minute. That health plan is important. Canada's medicine sucks, but people in Europe seem to be healthier than Americans and it's highway robbery to go to the doctor if you don't have insurance. And insurance doesn't cover everything. Or maybe I'll like Mitt's plan. I am a powerful voter--undecided. I think they should send me to the Bahamas and have my own personal straw poll. In a nice tent with virgin strawberry daquiris and somebody to fan my fevered brow. I’m so easily swayed that I even thought Hillary Clinton looked slightly less repulsive this morning.

He didn't mean anything he said. Kind of like most of his political positions, which sway to and fro with the gentle breezes. It wasn't a "slip-up," folks. It was pure arrogance.

"I misspoke. It's not service to the country, it's service for me, and there's just no comparison there.'' I like Mitt better since Sunday …

“I misspoke. It’s not service to the country, it’s service for me, and there’s just no comparison there.”

I turned up the audio on the Youtube site. Thanks to all of you who rushed in to help me :). This guy interviewing him bothers me. He says "this is important to me" when questioning him about the church, but he doesn't know enough to ask the question. He takes what George Stephanopolous said about the church as gospel and uses that to question him. He didn't even do his own research. I actually like Mitt better after listening to this. He shows some personality. I finally figured out how to listen. I turned up the audio on the Youtube site. Thanks to all of you who rushed in to help me :).

Read the transcript, it wasn't a single line, it was a friggin' soliloquy. Most of the people supporting Mitt haven't served in the military either. Your point is?

My guess is most of the people ragging on Mitt didn't serve in the military either. The mistake was seeing the question as an attack on him rather than an opportunity at let people know his son's think for themselves.

I'm down with that, Mitt, but when you make 'gotcha' this easy, well ... ... in future, perhaps it's better to ignore altogether any little people with pesky questions for the plutocracy. Unlike you, they've obviously forgotten the lessons of 9/11 and reverted back to their retrograde notions of shared national sacrifice ... In any case, I don't think anyone mis-spoke, it's just that our National Guard has become a Praetorian Guard in the minds of our ruling class ...

However one has to expect a few of these in the campaign. Nick, that was definitely a big bit of mis-speach by Romney. However one has to expect a few of these in the campaign.
