Romney was caught with his landscaping company hiring illegal Guatemalans the same week he gave the ridiculous stories about "hunting varmint" <em>and </em>only days after "strengthening" his policy approach to immigration. McCain--unlike the rest of the Republican bunch--just put two and two together. It may not be a second career, but McCain seems to have a better sense of humor than either the rest of the GOP candidates or what we've been giving him credit for. I've said before that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his "Bomb Bomb Iran" song attempt (<a href="http://sfrbadger.blogspot.com/2007/04/bomb-bomb-iran_20.html" rel="nofollow">there are both</a> a Right-wing and a Left-wing parody "Bomb Bomb Iran" that uses the Beach Boys as the source), given that his audience was a bunch of Republican-voting <em>veterans</em>. And I don't see anything wrong here either. Besides, let the Republicans eat their own. On the other hand, I think there should be a new breed of anti-Romney signs--Var-Mitt.

I one hundred percent concur and cannot understand why McCain didn't use it in the debate. “That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard McCain say.

Romney recently joined the NRA after supporting gun control as Governor. He wanted to show the public that he was a manly man who had hunted, who drinks beer and farts like the rest of 'em. Fact is, he probably hadn't and he certainly doesn't. He your Repub version of John Kerry, trying hard to be seen as a man of the people. I can also see the humor in it.
