So, Mitt Romney is on a multi country tour. He has been to the UK, Israel... POLAND.... And said many things. I might have missed some stops so forgive me. FTR, I do not believe the liberal media on how bad the things he has said are. HOWEVER................... As a guy bringing up two kids in the USA, and dealing with USA issues day to day, none of the things he has said are in any way things which would make me say "HEY, I'm gonna vote for this guy because of this."

We saw Obama with the European apology tour in 08. It helped secure the far left for him. It brought in a lot of far left money. They love that USA sucks crap. At least Obama had a purpose for the apology tour. For the life of me, I cannot think of a reason to go bouncing around to Europe, Israel and POLAND to help get votes here in the USA. What the hell is the purpose of this tour??

Of the things he said... HOW are they suppose to get more votes? I can see it IF they were big conservative vote getters, but they are not. So he only has speeches and quotes that can be picked apart by the liberal media and with NO benefit for his own base or independents. I, REALLY do not get this. Can anyone help me on this?
 
but.... but.... did he manage to visit all 57 states???
 
Someone insinuated that Romney didn't have any foreign affairs experience.

Now he does. lolz
 
Leaving aside the "apology tour" myth, there is a real distinction between what Obama did and what Romney did -- aside from what's been discussed. Namely, Obama met with US generals and troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kind of important if you're angling to be commander in chief....

His chances of winning are pretty low it would seem. This way, he got to be treated like a POTUS and can keep his happy memories.

He certainly didn't do much for his foreign policy creds I must say.

Yeah, too bad it hasn't resulted in more successful campaigns. And he like Romney have met with heads of state. Obama didn't get much out of that either. I actually gave your guy some credit for getting something out of his overseas trip. I can't give any whatsoever to the "conservative" candidates trip.
