Making Mitt Romney: How to fabricate a conservative

In seeking to woo conservatives, Romney has also used his personal PAC—the Commonwealth Political Action Committee—to contribute lavishly to several national pro-life groups, the Federalist Society, the National Review, and the Heritage Foundation, among others.

That explains a lot...Kathryn Jean Lopez, editor of National Review has been in the tank for Mitt from the beginning...now I see why.

Welcome, n00b...sign up just to post this, eh? Who were you before?

[Rudder]

Can’t say the same about Mr. Romney, nor Mayor Guilani, can we..?

No. And don't forget Reagan's stint as Calif. Governor.

The Clinton machine wants to run against Rudy or ROmney.

You sound like you are on the Romney campaign. N00b.

Tell your boss that phonyness doesn’t play in the conservative party.

“But against Romney, Clinton and her husband will be bogged down in issues like traditional family values, faith, morality, etc.”

Clinton will destroy Romney with his liberal past and his religion. Don’t kid yourself.
If Mitt wins the nomination, Clinton is president.

Agreed.

Nice to see conservatives turning to a left wing magazine to attack another conservative. Shows what politics do to people.

You even duplicated one thread already posted from the Telegraph.co.uk in hopes of slamming Fred.

Pot, meet kettle.

SO INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE POINTS; YOU ATTACK THE AUTHOR; HOW TYPICAL OF THE MITT Romney Campaign!

The Fredheads won't tolerate a straight news story from the WaPo or NYT.

But to get a hit piece on Romney, it is okay to dredge up an article from this hard core leftist, who writes for Mother Jones and The Nation, and who has written books extolling communist parties in South America. The author needs attacking, not posting at Free Republic.

Now that Thomson has declared he will not interfere with Rowe Vs Wade...

LIAR

The Telegraph is Britain's most conservative major paper, not a leftist rag like Harpers.

[Petronski]

You also know that Mitt hired a woman to shape his image as a conservative, right? Why is shaping required, if he is one already?

Because he's a fraud.

ROTFL...some can dish it out and sure can’t take it....how many negative threads on Fred have you personally posted, regardless of the source? FRedheads are very familiar with your agenda.

None, regardless of source. The most egregious source I ever posted from was the NYT, and that was beyond the pale for the Fredheads. But, the Fredheads can post commie authors all day long, and that is just fine, apparently.

[Petronski]

You’re just supposed to read what the Romney Sleaze Machine puts out, believe it, and move on with your day.

How DARE you question it!?!

[greyfoxx39]

I love this from the article: "The Washington Post discovered that an anti–Fred Thompson smear site, entitled PhoneyFred.org, was being run by an executive of TTS Strategies. The site was immediately taken down; Romney made pains to distance himself from it, and so—much less believably—did Tompkins, who claimed an employee (Wesley Donahue) had conceived and run the site without his knowledge. Whatever the truth of the site’s origin, the PhoneyFred episode perhaps most vividly showed that when one is contemplating how to sell Mitt Romney, the problem of phoniness can never be far from the brain."

Fredheads remember THIS incident well.

[Petronski]

Bet you dollars to donuts both Tompkins and Donahue carry “the badge.”

[Plutarch]

How DARE you question it!?!

Apparently, Petronski doesn't question anything written by authors for Mother Jones .

[Petronski]

Non sequitur. Were you trying to be funny?

Excuse me in all of the FR reporting on articles on any topic, we always reveal the source or is the left now your new best friend?

Some of you come off as two face!
