The Romney campaign will be its own undoing.
Sleaze can only stay hidden so long.
PING
Remember the gay guy who scratched gay on his forehead and claimed he had been the victim of a hate crime.
Probem was it only read gay when looking in the mirror. LOL
From the comments at RedState.
Amnesia on the part of some of Romney’s paid campaign staff would explain how this could happen.
On Monday, Romney’s paid staff authorize polling on questions related to Romney’s religion. But by Wednesday after a heavy lunch, the Romney folks forget about what they asked to have done on Monday. By Wednesday evening, after yet more alcoholic beverages and high cholesterol foods, they receive a phone call from their own pollsters.
The next day, they complain to the media about it.
I can see how this could happen. Sure.
Now isn’t this interesting.
We all know about the Romney Sleaze Machine by now, but this . . . this would be huge.
I want to see more details. I will enjoy watching it play out, believe me.
People must have wondered why this guy was running around with 'yag' scratched on his forehead.
I will enjoy it too.
The other day I was starting to feel sorry for Romney, thinking this was done by some well meaning supporter.
My sympathy has all flown out the window. Romney has had plenty of time to clear this up. He has chosen not to.
Come and see.
What’s clear is that these three people are either deeply sleazy or deeply dumb.
Here are the possibilities:
1. They are Mitt supporters, and they decided on their own to get cute.
2. They are Mitt supporters, and they got the go ahead to do something from the Mitt campaign.
3. They are ROOTY (or McCain!) supporters, and they got on the Mitt payroll, when they pulled this stunt to boost their candidate. A longshot!
I wonder which it is? Mitt will go for door #1 unless he can prove #3.
One thing is certain... there’s a lot of lying going on, and some kind of attempted dirty trick. Poorly executed, unless it’s #3.
I vote for #2.
Please check the Redstate site. There are other, more plausible “possibilities.”
It’s what many of us suspected from the beginning.
The question is, when it’s publicly proven, will the mythbots disavow their candidate?
Are you sure you're not remembering Morton Downey Jr.'s pathetic tale of being attacked in an airport bathroom?
He claimed they punched him and drew a swastika on his forehead, but had to admit he drew it himself when people noticed it was backwards, and security cameras showed he was alone in the bathroom.
Seems he has Judge issues as well...
Mitt may be twisting in the wind here shortly...
Money can’t make one a conservative...
It’s shaping up to be a lousy day for Flipping Mitt. First Willie Horton and now this.
Which is why suspicion falls on the Romney sleaze machine -- it fits their MO.
