There Would Be No ISIS Under Mitt Romney Because Bin Laden Wouldn’t Have Allowed It

When they aren’t beating President Obama to death for not attending a rally in Paris on 36 hours notice, the political press has been beating itself into an excited frenzy over the news that former Governor Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) is a dressage horse-hair away from announcing a third bid for president. It was scant months ago that Romney was doing bad stand-up in the basement of the Home Depot in The Hunger Games’ District 13, but the weakness of the GOP field gave Romney a lift in the early primary polls, and put that old fire back in his belly. That fire reached room temperature (which is “the boiling point” for everyone else) this past weekend when Romney told a room full of big GOP donors that he was seriously considering another run:

“I want to be president,” Romney told about 30 donors in New York. He said that his wife, Ann — who last fall said she was emphatically against a run — had changed her mind and was now “very encouraging,” although their five sons remain split, according to multiple attendees.

Since then, we’ve been treated to story after story about Romney’s inexorable march toward the electoral buzz-saw, including this juicy, anonymously-sourced quote from a Romney supporter to The Boston Globe:

If Romney were president, one longtime adviser said, “There wouldn’t be an ISIS at all, and Putin would know his place in life. Domestically, things would be in better shape.”

As far as that goes, he’s probably right, because Osama bin Laden probably wouldn’t have allowed it, and Mitt Romney would not have killed bin Laden…READ MORE

    Mitt would shout, “Tear down that ISIS!” and “Get off that horse, Vlad!”. Then he’d say “If you believe in Tinker Bell that things will get better domestically, clap your hands!”

    And all would be right in the world.

    Mitt’s GOParanoia should be more afraid of the 2.5 times+ people drowning in bathtubs 1:100K, if they knew just 1 per 250,000 are killed by terrorism, primarily in no WMD Iraq.

    On the Morning Joe show, Joe was bloviating about how badly Romney wants to be President, of course no one chimed into say “well obviously America doesn’t want Romney”.
