Romney throws the first punch…

The Associated Press has the full story, but below is a small sample.

"CONCORD, N.H. -- Republican Mitt Romney assailed his two leading presidential rivals Wednesday, criticizing John McCain's stance on immigration and dismissing Rudy Giuliani's support for gun control, abortion and gay rights as a losing combination in the GOP primary.

Running a distant third in national polls, Romney used a campaign stop in New Hampshire to challenge McCain's support for stronger border security paired with an eventual path to citizenship for some of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

Also, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, the former Massachusetts governor criticized Giuliani for his moderate stands on abortion, gays and gun control - even though Romney expressed similar views in previous campaigns."

In the interview posted on the CBN Web site, Romney said of Giuliani: "He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage and anti-gun. That's a tough combination in a Republican primary."

That's a punch??? The comment about gay marriage maybe embilishing. But this is hardly a punch.

In the sense that none of the candidates have said anything uncomplimentary about the others before today that is a "punch"

Nobody said "taking the gloves off" nobody said this was a huge hit. But the fact remains that all of the big 3 have refrained from saying anything about their competitors other than "They are going to be formidable opponents." This is the first time any of the 3 (or their official spokespeople) have said anything negative about each other. If I'm wrong on that, please provide the link. (Don't give me the link to some crazy supporter talking crap about the opponents. Candidates or spokespeople)

And all the Cooler said was "Romney throws the first punch" That's it. I think it's murphy that needs to simmer down.

"He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage and anti-gun. That's a tough combination in a Republican primary."

Was Mitt talking about himself in 2002? Or himself in 1994? Late ninties? 2003?

Oh. Oh. He was talking about Giuliani. Okay. Go get 'em Mitt, smoke out those bad pro-choice anti-gun candidates. Thank god you are pro-life and a member of the NRA. Praise Jesus, you have seen the light.

Got love Mitt's conviction.
