VANITY: Possible way for Romney to gain Palin's support [mega baforama!!]
July, 4, 2009 | yongin

Posted on 07/04/2009 5:09:47 AM PDT by yongin

Many FReepers are skeptical of Romney's conservative credentials. They don't like his past positions on abortion, healthcare, and gay marriage. They feel his rightward shift on social issues to be less than sincere.

Many conservatives are angered by the Left's attempts to character assassinate Palin thru silly ethics complaints. They have made Palin's administration and family into side shows. The ethics complaints have driven her to be $500,000 in debt.

This situation might provide an opening for Romney to gain Palin's support. Romney could step in to pay off Palin's legal debt. He then could make a speech about how conservatives must unite against the Far Left with Palin giving her endorsement. If Romney does this action, would it make him acceptable to Freepers?

Yes, it would. I don’t like, and don’t trust (given his record in MA) Romney. The Republicans tried moving left with the McCain nomination. That didn’t work out all that well, did it? Conservatives and Republicans are not looking for Obama Light. They’re looking for principled conservative values and policies.

If Romney really wants to serve the country....he can depart the national scene. He brings little to it other than reminders of the compromises that brought the Republican party to where it is today.

"In fairness, I will say that Romney probably would have at least acted like
he actually wanted to win, had he gotten the nomination in '08.
"

In fairness, if Romney was decent, human, and honest, he would have let McCain-Palin win.

But Romney would not let that happen. How is Romney's throwing of Election2008 working out for you?

Willard Brutus Romney


Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."


David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician.
Let me say for the record: If Romney emerges as the Republican nominee, I will support him without qualm."


Scumbag 5th-columnist who attacked Gov.Palin, in the 6 weeks before the election,
throwing Election2008 with the rest of TeamRomney.

David Frum: "Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 Early Show appearance."


Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

” If Romney does this action, would it make him acceptable to Freepers?’

So... You think if she sold her principals for hard cash, her base would follow her? What an insane idea...

Can he buy our support? For only $500,000? To Sarah Palin?
I wouldn’t see my soul for that much paid directly to me.
If Hillary paid, would you then support her?

"Republicans need Palin more than Palin needs Republicans."

Exactly.

As someone who daily deals with the “legacy” of Mitt Romney, no. It won’t.

No conservative could agree to the health plan he approved in Mass. As far as I'm concerned he's no more a conservative than Obama, and I'd never vote for him.

Sounds like a plan.

And to the Romney detractors: Maybe the guy has changed his mind on these things. Everyone’s entitled to one change on a topic, when further evidence is presented.

The problem is with those who flip-flop back and forth. If he or anyone else does that from one day to the next, based on popular opinion at the time, then that’s a problem.

Would you rather have another four years of 0bama?

Mitt Witt is a socialist as are ALL of his followers. As JimRob said you should start your own Mitt Witt site and all the Mitt Witts should leave FR.

First, Sarah Palin CANNOT BE BOUGHT! Second, you can't mix oil and water!

Romney is a RINO, no matter how you color him. RINO’s are exactly why the Republican party is out of power!

Romney's father rewrote the Michigan Constitution in 1963 and now Michigan is in the toilet of neo-progressives with a 15.4% unemployment rate and the most government regulated State in the United States!

Romney can go to hell and if he does not know the way, I can show him how to get there!
