Is Drudge On To Something? Gloria Allred Refuses To Comment On 'October Surprise'
RadarOnline ^ | 10-19-12 | Jen Heger

Posted on 10/19/2012 7:12:29 AM PDT by jmstein7

Is famed women's right attorney Gloria Allred about to pull an "October surprise" on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney?

That's the thinking, after Drudge Report founder and respected politico, Matt Drudge, tweeted Thursday: "Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!"

Allred, an outspoken supporter of President Barack Obama refused to confirm, or deny, Drudge's prediction, telling RadarOnline.com: "I have no comment at this time about Mr. Drudge's Tweet. I don't discuss meetings with potential clients."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, during GOP Meg Whitman's run to become governor of California, Allred represented Nicky Diaz, a former housekeeper for the Whitman family. The housekeeper alleged that she was terminated from her employment because she was an illegal immigrant, and that could have derailed Whitman's quest to become California's first female governor. Whitman ultimately lost the election to Democrat Jerry Brown.

Allred was a delegate for President Obama at the DNC in North Carolina last summer.

Most polls show the presidential race between President Obama and Governor Romney to be in a statistical dead heat, with both candidates heavily courting the female vote.

Somebody needs to put an end to the Allred scam. I know the California Bar won’t.

Obama's rise was achieved by having his opponents knocked off the ballot. If this is something along those lines then the gloves are off.

It's Bath House Barry all the time. Larry Sinclair 24/7. Obama is on the down-low. That's the campaign message. To hell with his wife and daughters.

This is blood sport.

I’ve also posted before that just prior to the George W dui release, the dems were trying to get the press to report a George W personal scandal. I’m sure it was fabricated and very interestingly, the press wouldn’t use it.

I think that information, which I have direct knowledge of, is significant. Because the dems eventually started to use Gloria Allred for scandals they could not get the mainstream media to report directly.

I had never heard the term “down-low” until today.

Down-low (sexual slang)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Down-low (disambiguation).

Down-low is an African American slang term[1] that refers to a subculture of men who usually identify as heterosexual, but who have sex with men; some avoid sharing this information even if they have female sexual partner(s).[2][3][4][5] The term is also used to refer to a related sexual identity.[5][6]

Sex scandals got Obama to the Senate. First, against the favored democrat, forcing him to drop out, giving O the path to the nomination, then against the republican favored to win the overall election, forcing him to drop out. I remember it happening then, and Ann Coulter recently wrote about it, but others here recall more than I do, I’m sure.

One more point about the Benghazi attack, the former Seals were there to secure information. There was a lot of information about informants and where weapons had been sent during the “liberation of Libya”, that was stored in the Benghazi consulate, so the fire may have been part of the plan. They were probably supposed to have gotten the ambassador out before they set it, though.

For years the term simply meant "keep this quiet" like "on the Q-T" or "keep it under your hat."

About 4 years ago, I read the term was used in the "black community" to refer to a man who was living a double-life. Now, I can't use the term in the older sense.

If that’s the best that Obama can do for an October surprise, it’s not much. Heck, it might even benefit Romney. He gave religious advice to save a baby. The woman was clearly out of danger, and the doctor was probably worried about being sued.

The story is very poorly written, and a little confusing.

I have been guessing a story about a French girl Mitt got pregnant while doing his mission, and who he made get an abortion. Undoubtedly untrue, but would still have to be dealt with and would turn many off. Think the DWI story they ran on W right before the 2000 election. Allred probably can find some woman to play the part for enough bucks.

He gave religious advice, and the woman didn’t like his demeanor. He wasn’t sensitive enough=Proof of the Republican Party’s war on women.

It’s proof that the woman didn’t want to follow Mormon teachings. No one likes the demeanor of someone telling them something that they don’t want to hear.

I think at this point people are starting to see this Democrat “Chicken Little” crap for what it is this late in the election season.

That is not true. If you had said

“No effective LEGAL preemption has ever been devised to keep an idiot from taking to a microphone” I would agree with you, however history (even American history) is replete with peoples rights to free speech being denied through threats and initimidation, arrest and being held as long as possible until charges need to be filed, “accidents” and outright assasinations.

Let me make it clear that I do not condone any of these methods, because I find them as heinous as the idiot taking the microphone. Silencing political foes is an art form in most communist nations, and our desire to protect and maintain freedom of speech, no matter how offensive, is one of the primary reasons America has been the bastion of freedom to the world.

I am certain that Romney has in the can — if needed — ads demanding that Obama release his sealed life-time records. “What are you hiding, Obama?”

On that same page there were links to other stories.

One of them discussed a surrogacy agreement between one of Romney's sons and a surrogate that contained an abortion clause.

There were some others too. I'm sure it's related to one of them. The one you linked to is certainly the most probable.

They all seem pretty silly and overwrought. The fever dreams of the KOS kids. They come down to allegations that Mitt was “mean” or “unfeeling” or intimidating when he counseled women not to abort a child.

I imagine that Allred’s allegations, if they surface at all, will involve one of them or one like them.

Advising a woman not to have an abortion? How could that be a scandal? Even if you are pro-choice, there is nothing here to be offended by.

Is the lady going to complain she was bullied into having a baby? That’s not going to make her a very sympathetic figure.

The truth is, having an abortion may be a leagl right but, that doesn’t mean it’s not an ugly thing to do. This could whipsaw back and make Romney look good in my opinion.

Here's a link to the story I was referring to:

5 Disturbing Stories About Mitt Romney That Expose His Private Worldview

http://www.alternet.org/election-2012/5-disturbing-stories-about-mitt-romney-expose-his-private-worldview

If Allred is on the move, I'm sure it's related to one of the “horror stories” item one at the link refers to:

“1. Mormon women have reported “horror stories” about Romney from when he served as a Mormon bishop.

According to investigative reporter Geoffrey Dunn , several Mormon women have reported disturbing stories about how Romney treated them while he was an LDS bishop and “stake president.”

Dunn is the lunatic that staked out Sarah Palin, so this is the level that we're dealing with here.
