Der Mittenfuhrer criticizes rivals after pointing to rancor among Democrats

[Ian David]

HAMPSTEAD, N.H. -- Mitt Romney suggested last week that he and his fellow Republican presidential contenders would avoid the "rancor" that flared between Democrats after one of Barack Obama's fundraisers questioned Hillary Rodham Clinton's honesty.

McCain, Romney told New Hampshire voters on Thursday, was devising an immigration policy that was the "wrong course" for the nation. And Giuliani's positions on abortion, gay marriage and gun control were a losing combination in the GOP primary, he told a television audience replete with Christian conservatives. The criticism set the tone for a series of speeches Friday before the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, an annual convention of conservative activists dating to 1973.

"I don't think there's anything wrong pointing out where we're different, because some people will agree with me and some will agree with somebody else," he added. "And on some issues, someone else will be more conservative than I am, but that just depends on the issue, and I'm by no means the most conservative on all issues."

Last week, during another swing through New Hampshire, Romney delighted in the Democratic infighting and cast the Republican field as a far more harmonious lot.

"I'm sure we'll disagree on issues from time to time, but I doubt you'll see the rancor that apparently may exist elsewhere," he said Feb. 23 during a stop in Merrimack.

Meanwhile, in an interview posted on the Christian Broadcasting Network Web site, Romney criticized McCain for opposing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

McCain replied, "I believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, but I believe the states should decide."

Romney also criticized Giuliani during his CBN interview.

"He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage and antigun," Romney said. "That's a tough combination in a Republican primary."

1. Quit fucking using "fuhrer" evertime you post.

I'm uncomfortable reading "mittenfuher" or "der rudyfuhrer" whenever you post. It is vile.

Adolph Romney and Benito Guiliani?

3. I am sorry it makes you uncomfortable.

As someone with a German surname myself, I'm comfortable with it, and will keep using it.

Ich bein ein Berliner.

Sorry.

4. Using Nazi epithets to describe the opposing political party is infantile

and it immediately marginalizes any point you're making.
