ROCHESTER, N.H. — A Mitt Romney campaign event Friday night offered a taste of the coming rumble in New Hampshire with Senator John McCain now emerging as Mr. Romney’s main rival in the state’s upcoming Republican primary.

Mr. Romney challenged Mr. McCain directly for the first time in months in the state, pointing out before an audience of about 100 people here while talking about his belief in tax cuts that Mr. McCain had voted against the Bush tax cuts in 2001.

“President Bush did a pretty courageous thing,” Mr. Romney said. “At a time when our economy needed a boost, needed a stimulus, he said, ‘You know what, we’re going to lower taxes.’ And not everyody agreed with him. One of my friends is Senator McCain. He voted against the Bush tax cuts. I think the Bush tax cuts were a great thing for our country. I support them. I want to make them permanent and I want to add to them.”

He added: “I want to kill the death tax once and for all. We had a chance to do that by the way. Senator McCain also voted against that.”

1. Mitt is a bastard. Nothing he loves more than dropping a turd in the proverbial punchbowl.

Mitt Romney is big on slash and burn politics, just like Cheney and Bush are. Last week it was Huckabee, I guess next week it'll be John McCain. It might hurt more if Mitt could actually hold the same position himself for longer than five minutes.

2. This doesn't look like "slash and burn"--looks like pointing out differences

in records. Normal stuff.

8. "Kill the death tax"

Yeah Romney is so against the "Death Tax" because his billions will be taxed heavily when he dies and leaves his shit to his kids.

4. Mitt Romney proves

there really is no such thing as "Survival of the fittest".

This man gets a category all his own, in the Guinness Book of Stupid & with a big mouth to boot.


“President Bush did a pretty courageous thing,”
Don't be saying that too loudly, or too often.

"I want to Kill the Death Tax"
Got an mercenary instinct there Mitt?

Did Mitt Romney "see" Bush cut taxes?
