Current Events > Remember when Liberals got supermad at Romney saying the Russians were the enemy

(+) Yeah! (+)

"This (Russia) is without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe. They fight for every cause for the world's worst actors. The idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed."

Blitzer asked Romney if he thought Russia is a bigger foe than Iran, China or North Korea.

"I'm saying in terms of a geopolitical opponent, the nation that lines up with the world's worst actors," Romney said. "Of course the greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran, and a nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough. But when these terrible actors pursue their course in the world and we go to the United Nations looking for ways to stop them ... who is it that always stands up with the world's worst actors? It's always Russia, typically with China alongside. And so in terms of a geopolitical foe, a nation that's on the Security Council that has the heft of the Security Council, and is of course is a massive nuclear power, Russia is the geopolitical foe." ~ Romney


"After all, you don't call Russia our No. 1 enemy -- not Al-Qaida, Russia -- unless you're still stuck in a Cold War mind warp like a putz." ~ Obama

It's interesting because a lot of users on CE will be too young to remember but Romney was torn apart for these comments, especially by liberals who claimed he was an idiot and out of touch.

Now not all that many years later, the roles have 180ed. The liberals are outraged at how big an enemy Russia is and the conservatives are the ones downplaying them at every turn to fear monger North Korea, Mexicans and Muslims.

Maybe in 2021 religious conservatives will be pro pot legalization and liberals will be violently opposed to it.

I remember when the media went crazy when Romney said, "Binders full of women".

Now compare that to pretty much everything Trump says.
