Romney Won't Repudiate Trump On Birther Issue

Did Trump recently state that Obama was "born in Kenya and raised in Idonesia" ?

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney isn't taking a position on supporter Donald Trump's return to the controversy over where President Barack Obama was born.

Romney said Monday evening that while he doesn't agree with all the people who support him, he appreciates their help to get him at least 50.1 percent of the vote in November.

Romney's comments come about 24 hours before appearing at fundraiser in Las Vegas that Trump is hosting.

Earlier this week Trump again stated that Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. That view has been debunked repeatedly. Obama released his long-form birth certificate in April 2011 showing he was born in Hawaii while Trump weighed entering the Republican primary race.

You can practically hear the sweat popping out of their foreheads as they pound that crap into the keyboards because they know damn well it has NOT been debunked.

They also wake up every single day knowing that this could be the day when something breaks loose that will be too big for them to ignore, too inconvertible for them to spin, and too utterly damning for them to deny.

It is not going to look pretty when the idiotic media get their well deserved desserts. Should anyone ever trust these guys again about anything? "No" is the short and long answers.

I am firmly convinced that it WILL happen. And I have a bottle of Moet on ice waiting for that happy day.

Sounds like a good plan. :-)

I’m sure there is something in it for him, though. Maybe nothing more than attention.

How's this for a novel idea: Run with your proposed cabinet

FReegards!

REALLY???

I guess even YAHOO is shilling for the Obamabastard.

There are so many holes in that “birth certificate’s” authenticity you could fly an entire squadron of New Jersey Mosquitoes through it!!!!! (And that is a lot of mosquitoes!!!)

” - - - Best part is, Trump IS getting under their skin - or we wouldn’t be seeing articles like this!”

An even better part is that “The Donald” is a very liberal, Dyed-in-the-Wool, Democrat who is leading Romney kicking and screaming onto the right track to fight Obama.

Incredible theater! You can’t make this stuff up!

BTW, will Trump coach Romney on how to say to Obama “You’re FIRED!!!!” with fire in his belly?

AP story on Romney refusing to repudiate “birther” Trump.

This story is currently getting 48,000 hits on Google with wide distribution. Editors are allowing it in lots of print media. No mention of Arpaio’s forgery finding but the audience's attention will be building in the lead-up to the next Arpaio presser.

If you Google “Romney Trump birther” as of now you get 1,480,000 hits!

If Mitt had any brains at all, he would stay far away from Trump. Trump cares about 1 person, Trump. The Donald would sell the whole Republican party down the river if it got him some free publicity or somehow benefited him. Romney has nothing to gain by hanging out with this blowhard weasel.

Has Obama repudiated the Communist Party that supports him yet?

Trump gets attention..Mitt gets a subject brought up that a lot of people care about without doing it himself.

Not to worry, Myth will find a bus to throw The Donald under when the time is right.

Trump cares about the economy the same as all of us.

That is OK, they are also lying about the Halfrican’s birth in Kenya being debunked. If they lie about that, why not other things too?

What could be bigger than this 1991 pamphlet being exposed??

If we had a free press, the 1991 pamphlet would have been the death nail to this story. The Senate would have started impeachment proceedings immediately.

I was not watching the news during this time but from what I can tell not one news organization reported on it. If that alone doesn’t tell you something, you’re not paying attention.

If I wasn’t watching this total cover-up by the news media myself, I would not believe it. We have no news media anymore. Its the Obama show. I am going to write FOX and tell them what kind of slime they are.

Don't be ridiculous.

In the first place, the promotional booklet isn't proof of anything. And no impeachment hearings on the subject are going to begin without some hard proof. Recall that Clinton's impeachment hearings didn't begin until there was legitimate proof of perjury.

In the second place, it would be the House which would commence any impeachment hearings -- not the Senate.

The promotional booklet is a reason, though, for serious questions to be asked -- by the House, the Senate...and the press.

The Diversion Continues.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

I agree with that. I don’t believe there will be an impeachment of Bambi for this issue but What If?

Biden becomes president. Does he automatically get all the delegates Obama has for the Dem nomination? What would happen next?

I know, I know, not gonna happen, but just asking.

“When things get uncomfortable, he will throw Trump under the bus.”

In Romney’s defense, does he have a history of throwing people under the bus?

I thought that was Obama’s routine.

If Romney repudiated Trump its a shame...he should just say *Trump has as much free speech in this country than anyone* Keeps him out of the cross hairs and he can tell them to go ask Trump,cause it is about free speech for every American....don’t piss off trump, he has a long memory......

Romney should sit above the fray and say that he accepts Obama’s word. But Romney should have surrogates who are out there daring to ask the questions that all the evidence cries out for.

It would be my guess that is exactly what he is doing.
