They were at Poland’s tomb of the unknown soldier; the questions were shrill, irritating, and dumb; and aide Rick Gorka lost his temper for maybe eight seconds, then apologized. Simple ingredients, but that’s all you need for a tasty summer stew of manufactured outrage that keeps the news cycle churning. September can’t get here soon enough, my friends. Alternate headline: “Conservative support for Romney now at 100 percent.” As Romney was walking away from Pilsudski Square toward his vehicle, reporters asked him about his string of gaffes and whether he had any comment for Palestinians, some of whom took offense at the Republican’s suggestion Monday in Jerusalem that Israel’s economy is superior because of cultural advantages Israelis enjoy. Romney ignored the questions and got in his car… “Kiss my ass; this is a holy site for the Polish people,” said aide Rick Gorka. “Show some respect.” Gorka then told a reporter to “shove it.” Gorka subsequently called a pair of reporters to apologize, saying he lost his cool. The press is annoyed that he’s treating this extended photo op as an extended photo op, taking just three questions from reporters in the span of a week. (“There is a growing frustration among reporters, a growing sense that the campaign doesn’t get it — we don’t want to screw you, we just want to do our job.”) Say what you will about Romney’s retail political instincts, but even he can’t miss an opportunity as golden as having the media mad at him: Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused the media of looking to protect President Obama by focusing on the GOP candidate’s high-profile gaffes during his week-long foreign tour rather than more substantive policy issues he discussed. “I realize that there will be some in the fourth estate or in whichever estate who are far more interested in finding something to write about that is unrelated to the economy, to geo-politics, to the threat of war, to the reality of conflict in Afghanistan today, to a nuclearization of Iran,” Romney told Fox News. “They’ll instead try to find anything else to divert from the fact that these last four years have been tough years for our country.” DeMint once said Romney’s picking up conservatism as a second language. He may not be fluent yet, but media criticism proves that he can at least conjugate his verbs. Baby steps. Exit question via Dana Loesch: If it’s rude to interrupt Obama in the Rose Garden, why isn’t it rude to scream questions at Romney while on hallowed ground during a goodwill visit?

I don't support him so it must only be 99.999999(repeating), or a whole lot less. Conservatives don't support Romney, but neocons do.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
so you're voting for obama then?
No, you're voting for Obama by voting for his clone Loser Mitt. I'm voting for someone pro-American. To be determined. Ron Paul and Virgil Goode are presently at the top of my list. Who do you figure will be at the top of the GOP ticket in 2016, Orin Hatch & Lindsey Graham? You'll love em!

“Conservative support for Romney now at 100 percent.” Yea right!! ROTFLMAO.... True Conservatives don't like or support Romney, they "MAY" vote for him just to ensure Obozo is kicked to the curb but that's about it...
Choosing and voting for a presidential candidate is like picking which STD you want to suffer from….
I agree and I certainly not going to flush my vote in a hopeless cause. It's simple you either vote romney or bamster, unfortunately there are no other RATIONAL choices.
WRONG! HOW is it rational to vote for somebody you don't want to see in office? The RATIONAL choice is to either vote for someone you want to see win,or not vote.
