Haley Barbour is officially out. Other candidates eliminated due to lack of interest. New candidates added.

It's like these candidates just put their own foots in their mouths, or jump off cliffs all by themselves!

BOSTON (Reuters) - Republican Mitt Romney, who is raising money to run for the White House in 2012, criticized President Barack Obama on Monday over the country's debt problem but soon found himself under attack on another front.

An opinion piece by the former Massachusetts governor focused on last week's threat by an influential ratings agency to cut the U.S. credit rating.

That message was quickly drowned out by backlash after Romney referred to Obama's stimulus programs as "one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history."

In doing so, Romney neglected to acknowledge the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and current involvement in Libya.

The New Hampshire Democratic Party and progressive-leaning veterans group VetVoice pounced.

"Romney is forgetting that we have troops in harm's way in three different theaters is astonishing," Richard Allen Smith of VetVoice said in a statement, noting that 36 U.S. service members had been killed in action this month alone.

Yeah, it's depressing the choices we get anymore...I will vote for President Obama not because I agree with his politics but because I see no other choice. There are a few folks who might potentially run who are closer to my ideology but they have no chance and voting for them is nothing more than throwing my vote away....I guess the status quo is better than going backwards?!

Vote Republican if you want to save the dollar. Otherwise we are done.
