Apparently you didn’t hear the immediate response Romney gave in which he called the polling questions ‘unAmerican’ in nature. The set-up was precise, the response pointed ... but the rest of the story wasn’t expected to get out so the staffers thought they could lie about ‘leaning toward Romney’. Look for another ‘prepared speech’ addressing the unAmerican behavior of questioning a candidate’s fitness to serve based upon his religious convictions. There have been numerous efforts by Romney supporters to characterize Ike as a JW and other candidates regarding their religious affiliations. The Ike characterization is just as stupid and sleazy since it is basically false but convenient to twist.
I know about the “unAmerican” statement; that was last week. So far, Romney has pointed the finger at McCain and had his campaign manager say it wasn’t himself nor his supporters. Now we find out that at the very least, his supporters notified the press about the calls with conflicting statements and without identifying themselves as Romney operatives.
We need to hear from Romney on this new development. At the very least, we need to know what kind of investigation he plans to do.
