Adelson's puppet Mitt in Israel promising to recognize Jerusalem capital and move our embassy

Watching Romney's speech live on CNN...

Wolf Blitzer noted that no president has ever suggested such a move.

The man's an idiot. If he gets into office the US will have the entire world in arms.

2. WTF?? They are going for broke now.

This is getting a bit rediculous. Someone needs to revoke these idiot's passports.

3. Wouldn't that be a big provocation?

The reason why no president has ever done this is because it would run counter to wanting Middle East peace. This would be a provocation. Arab states would go apoplectic.

What a stupid thing for Mitt to say. But if he believes this, I am glad he said it. It shows how reckless his policies really are.

8. Thanks

I can see where that would be problematic (to put it mildly). Mitt out there trying to pull a "McCain" and be a "maverick" or something?

7. Right after he builds a Mormon temple

And starts baptizing the dead...

9. Mitt talks right-wing talk

but it is grating to a wider, more sane audience grounded in the real world. I think he is always surprised that the rest of the world isn't like FOX news.

His comments on Jerusalem should create a big stir. They are very inflammatory and show his ignorance in that he seems unaware that he is even saying something controversial.

Also, many of his comments are extremely anti-Muslim. If you combine this Jerusalem policy with his lament over the fact that "Muslims" were elected in the Arab Spring countries, I think he has a big problem. This really anti-Muslim rhetoric may play well in GOP-land, but the rest of the world finds it disgusting. Denying Jerusalem's place as a holy city to Islam and the importance of the status quo of the divided city as a show of respect of this fact is another aspect of this.
