” Me and Rabs buy this!

“They represent themselves, not us. They are almost all Big Government Progressives, in bed with the bankster gangsters, the One World promoters and the K Street lobbyists who could not care less whether they were governed by Barack Obama, Gordon Brown, Hugo Chavez or Kim Jong Il as long as they get theirs, which, quite often used to be ours (before taxes).”

Castellanos joins Gentry Collins, another Romney-asswipe. Michael Steele hired Collins to be the RNC political director in March. He’s been a Romney guy for years.

tell you the honest good and the bad in your presentation, so you can best tailor it.

So you think his statements regarding Sarah are 'honest good'?

"Smear her children, too. Throw the Election to Obama .... for me."


RomneyBOT backstabber Castellanos ripping into Palin
the week the Governor became the GOP VP candidate.


"Alex Castellanos, Romney media consultant "


"Alejandro "Alex" Castellanos (b. 1954, Havana, Cuba) is a U.S. Republican Party political media consultant who specializes in television advertising, and was a top media adviser to Bush Cheney '04 as well as Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.[1][2]."


"In late February 2007, the Boston Globe obtained a leaked copy of an internal Romney campaign document describing the campaign's plan to win the Republican nomination.[1] That document, produced by Castellanos, drew attention by implying the campaign's poor view of the sitting president.[2] Specifically, the document advised that that Romney should create distance between himself and President George W. Bush by focusing on the separating factor of "intelligence."[1]"


"The plan, which top Romney strategist Alex Castellanos helped to draft, charts a course for Romney to emerge as the nominee, but acknowledges that the "electorate is not where it needs to be for us to succeed."


The McCain/Palin ticket was up 8 pts. days prior to September 18th.
Obama was losing until the DNC played their October surprise on the economy
and the RomneyTeam attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw Election2008.

David Frum: "Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008) Early Show appearance."


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."


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)
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

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

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

GOP establishment darling Trey Grayson brags about his association with the Aspen Institute on his own official state website, while proudly associating himself with the late Senator Ted Kennedy.

What’s our next step - any ideas? Any Republican Conservative we can ask to stand up and call the GOP out on this RINO?

The RNC have succeeded in definitively demonstrating the capability of an organization to have a learning curve with a negative slope.

The checks Soros writes to the DNC with his “left” hand..are balanced out by those he writes with his “right” hand to the RNC.

Good-Cop-Bad-Cop is the oldest con in the world....that has been most successfully run for the longest period ever in history anywhere , by the US Congress.

You are an embarassment to Palin.
If she wins, it will be in spite of you.
Any advice is vicious attack.
We got Obama because of McCain running. Romney did everything he could to prevent that.
You gave us Obama by giving us losers to represent us.

Romney is an embarrassment to himself. The money that paid for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads will embarrass and destroy romney and his hundreds of hind-tit yes-men/women and hanger-ons hell-bent on hurting Palin even today. We WILL burn the RNC down if we have to. Romney is done. Ruined. Finished. He sealed his fate by trying to hurt Palin.

So, bbilly, you choose to simply *ignore* the badmouthing of Palin by folks directly connected to your Hero. As if it isn't relevant.

It never occurs to you that we got McCain because of Romney's diluting and financially draining better and more worthy candidates. Any conservative who seeks to help define and carry the Republican banner as the Party for Getting Government Out of Our Hair not only has to combat a hostile media and the Democrat party, that candidate also has to waste money and resources countering challenges and competition from self-financed and very wealthy Romney. You're so invested in Romney that when plain truths about him come up, you plug your fingers in your ears and chant "nya nya nya nya nya."

“Invested in Romney?” I gave some money to a candidate, but not one penny went to Romney.
You have Romney on the brain so bad you can’t see or think straight. You blow apart and misinterpret even the slightest thing your thin skin can’t handle. The reason I am writing about Romney so much is because so many seem to be having a nervous breakdown over him.
I am for every one of our candidates doing the best they can. Hopefully one of them will connect the next time around. I detest all this canablaism.

Mitt bought his Mass governorship, as a ticket to his only goal, the Presidency. He lefty behind him a destroyed Republican Party, a secure Democrat party, and Romnyecare. Also, unlike Palin, who had the decency to resign, Mitt abandoned the state for his last two years to basically be on the road for his President run. He didn’t even give Muffy( snicker ) a chance.
