Romney Easter News Today

Each year around the Easter-Pesach nexus we inevitably have a difficult discussion about cultural appropriation. Thankfully, it looks we don’t need to have that talk with the junior senator from Utah. While there are some differences of opinion, the holiday discourse usually goes as follows: DO attend a Jewish friend’s Seder if you are Christian, invited and respectful. DON’T have a “Christian Seder” that frames Jesus as the fulfillment of Judaism and neglects the long history of East...

Lets listen. >> president obama as you know has publicly said to stay the course until a withdrawal at the end of 2014. would president romney do anything different, and if so how? >> first of all, i would exercise leadership, and by that i mean i would work with president karzai, i would speak with him regularly. >> would you accelerate the withdrawal? >> the timing of withdrawal will be dependent upon what you hear from the conditions on the ground. that you understand by speaking with command...

When he campaigned, he said he wanted to raise the price of gasoline. he said under him energy costs would skyrocket. >> he seems to be referring to comments he mad in 2008 as a candidate. he said that his cap and trade policy would calls electricity rates to skyrocket. the president did say that, but unlike what romney implied, he says the president was not talking as he claimed, about gas prices. its one of the myths they engage in when talking about gas prices. like the idea that any presiden...

Natural gas production in the united states. were at a 12-year low for how much oil we import into the united states. when george bush left office we imported 57%, and this year were only importing 45 of our oil. so this understanding of how the global emergency markets work, that is how opec picks the price. its something that romney just doesnt understand and he is holding himself out as a macro economic maestro, but the fact is it is something he does not understand at all. >> congresswoman, ...

Pitch to the audience in illinois, and rick santorum and his campaign with limited resources, and as good as santorum is at times, and an inconsistent performance, i dont think he is breaking through with either of them, and they both represent vulnerabilities that no one has been able to breakthrough so far. so far its not good enough to overtake mitt romney. >> the people voting perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the majority tomorrow in illinois and elsewhere for romney, are they challenging those pre...

You have romney returning to his experience message. he is say lg i know something about the private economy and santorum is too much like obama and he doesnt understand how the economy works. now you have santorum replying to that and echoing democrat talking points you will hear all fall if romney is the nominee. neither side has a positive message about themselves. they can just knock each other. or attack each other on ideological terms or on experience terms, but its all about this guy is w...

Were back. this week marks the two week anniversary of president obama signing into the affordable care act. theyre aim is to make him a one-term president. we all though that msnbc political analyst david corn has offered up a brand flu book, "showdown" which battles president obamas battles by the tale party. youre carrying the burden of explaining how the president reacted to the horror when the 200 tea party type showed up in congress to stop any chance he had of progressing forward. >> the ...

Killing of the 16 afghans by the man who is apparently deranged because he is on his fourth tour, it seems republicans dont have much to say here. >> it translates as we have no idea. santorum sounds like he wants to say lets double down on afghanistan, stay in there and finish the job, but he doesnt come out and say he wants to stay in afghanistan because he knows thats terribly unpopular. romney tries to have it both ways by saying i would do it differently, but he doesnt say he would do a dif...
