McCain Buys Anti-Romney Web Site Name
NewsMax ^ | June 15, 2007 | Staff

John McCain’s presidential campaign has bought the Web site name www.mittvsfact.com and will launch the site to illustrate White House hopeful Mitt Romney’s alleged flip-flops.

As NewsMax reported, the McCain campaign on Wednesday sent out an e-mail release, with a "Mitt vs. Fact” letterhead, that attacked Romney on the abortion issue.

It linked to a video showing then-Massachusetts Gov. Romney vowing to uphold the state’s abortion-rights laws.

Romney has now called for the repeal of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion nationally.

A McCain aide confirmed to The Politico on Friday that his campaign had purchased the mittvsfact Web site last month and "indicated that they would use it as a sort of one-stop shop ‘to brand’ Romney,” according to The Politico.

But the Romney campaign said McCain’s attacks pointed to trouble in his own campaign.

"Desperate candidates do very desperate things,” Romney spokesman Kevin Madden declared.

"Sen. McCain has, sadly enough, been faltering so badly lately that his campaign is left with the last resort of launching attacks against Gov. Romney.”

McCain has lost his last working marbles. He’s over the edge and doesn’t have a clue how childish and slimy this looks.

I am surprised McCain had the $10 for the website name. Other than that, nothing about McCain surprises me anymore.

When will a candidate start to point out why why they are better rather than just throwing mud.

Yep. He’s a weasel. True to his Democrat beliefs.

Actually this is a tried and true tactic - Rove used it to help Bush win. It's very simple - give people reasons to vote against somebody else rather than giving them reasons to vote for you. It seems desperate, but it's very effective.

This is just another sad act in the long downward spiral of Juan and his Mexican followers. Nobody will trust anything he posts there. La Raza has no inside info on Mitt Romney. They will probably just rip off Boston Globe articles and will end up with a lawsuit in their hands.

John McCain has officially proved that he has not one bit of class in his entire body.

Sad to watch a once fine man disintegrate before our eyes. I don’t know what is driving this thing about Romney. He should be attacking the Al-dimocRATS. He has morphed into McQueeg.

Perhaps everyone has misjudged Senator McCain. Maybe he bought the rights to www.mittvsfact.com so it won't be used against his ol' friend Mitt.

That must be it.
