Romney says Brown can ‘make history’
The Boston Globe ^ | 01-01-10 | The Boston Globe Staff

Posted on 01/02/2010 9:25:42 AM PST by GOP_Lady

Mitt Romney - that rare political breed, a Republican elected statewide in Massachusetts - told supporters yesterday that if Scott Brown can pull off a similar feat next month in the US Senate special election, it “would shock the country and send a strong message that business as usual in Washington is coming to an end.’’

“He would bring badly-needed fiscal restraint to an out-of-control budget process that is adding trillions of dollars to our national debt,’’ said Romney, the former Bay State governor who gives every indication he’s preparing a second presidential bid in 2012.

Say something decent about Gov. Romney and get banned. So much for liberty for all. I think the nastiness against him is actually winning supporters for him, or at least inviting an honest look.

I know who the enemy of this nation is and it's not Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney is most definitly an enemy of this nation, he has been anti conservative all of his life, until he decided to purchase the presidency and defeat conservatism from the position of, head of the republican party.

"I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

The only ones who attempted to "destroy" anyone
have been RomneyBOTs and Romney (vs. Gov. Palin to throw the Election),
and RomneyBOTs and Romney (on FR to attack conservatives).

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."
… 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:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
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

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

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Please. Post something nice -— and true — about Romney.

Gotta be true, though.

Dare you.

I don’t have all day and night to mix it up with you. I’m at the end of a busy day and looking forward to some relaxation this evening. But, your pathetic whining is like a broken record. Do you have nothing else to do with your lives, nothing positive?

Originally, this thread was about a Republican possibly winning a Senate seat. Given the numbers in the Senate at present, this is crucial. The bulk of comments attack Romney for supporting a Republican victory.

Therefore, it looks like Romney has the best interests of the nation at heart rather than yourselves and the other snipers. That would be unless your belief is that the legislation being proposed by the democrats does not threaten the Constitutional foundation of this Nation.

This is my last post on this thread. Good night.

I don't recall you ever being able to make a case for Romney, or you even much trying.

You falsely claimed that you could not post anything
“decent” about Romney.

When challenged to say anything “decent” and TRUE
about Romney, you fled. It is noted that it
is not the first time.

Good night.

Yes, what a sad case of a guy saying something decent about Romney and getting banned -- so much for liberty for all.

La Enchiladita:

1. You LIE about FReepers being banned for saying "something decent" about Romney. YOU're still here, aren't you? I count about half a dozen Romney supporters on this thread who are ... guess what? STILL HERE!!! Red State said exceedingly ugly things about OUR HOST!!!!! What is the MATTER with you, dear??????

2. You WHINE about "injustices" that never happened.

You are an exceedingly loutish, ill-mannered guest, NOT because of your opinion of Romney, but because you tell lies in order to portray yourself and other Romney-supporting FReepers as victims.

You TELL LIES, you WHINE, and you are ILL MANNERED as a guest in the "home" of someone else. Jim Robinson is tolerant beyond belief, and you, like a spoiled brat, whine and LIE about it.

ONCE AGAIN, the behavior of Romney supporters speaks volumes about their candidate.

Support him for what?

I have only stated facts here in response to people castigating him for supporting Brown, etc. while these people at the same time hold DeMint in such high regard while DeMint supported Mitt with great enthusiasm and has Mitt Romney help him currently.

As far as 2012, I like Mitt so far more than Huckelberry, Palin, and Pawlenty, but would rather have a better candidate who is a little sharper and has a little more intellectual depth. Know anyone?

I don't hold him lying to the liberals in Massachussets so they would elect him against him, but I do dislike him pointing to his plan in MA as a point of success rather than as the best deal he could get out of a Communist state legislature.

Sorry I can't respond with the same hysterics that people have been shooting at me. I'm just an honest dealer here.

quietcontrarian: ”I don't hold him lying to the liberals in Massachussets
so they would elect him against him…”

So, quietcontrarian, RomeyBOT, says “lying is A-OK”,
consistent with Romney’s endless lies; but quietcontrarian ignores
that Romney lied to the Conservatives, and not the liberals.

Romney serves all liars, fakers, phoneys, including the DNC.


Romney aide’s bogus badges: Sources detail ‘illegal’ security tactic

" Boston Herald - Friday, July 20, 2007
In an apparent violation of the law, a controverisal aide to ex-Gov. Mitt Romney
created phony law enforcement badges that he and other staffers used on the campaign trail

to strong-arm reporters, avoid paying tolls and trick security guards
into giving them immediate access to campaign venues, sources told the Herald.
They (the aides) knew the badges were fake and probably illegal,”
said a presidential campaign source who asked for anonymity
because the story could damage the individual’s career.
Two additional sources confirmed that the badges - described as bright silver plates with a state seal attached -
were first created and used by Garrity while Romney was still governor."

I have to take this moment to thank you for your work in exposing Mitt Romney as he is, a desperate, politically ignorant, historically ignorant, economically ( at least philosophically ) ignorant, disingenuous( to be polite )...striver.

He wants to be President to be President. Most likely ( since we know it isn’t for any public, core principal ) as the fist Mormon President, or for daddy ( also a very Mormon thing ).

Thanks, Congregationalist to Universalist...whatever, it isn’t enough.

You, me and many others, have educated the basically conservative population to Slick’s machinations.

We as Conservatives have the last few years pulled the mask off a lot of true RINO’s, Liberals, Hacks in the GOP. And you deserve a pat on the back. Of course the GOP hacks, leftists all cry that without lying, disingenuous, two faced RINOs why the party will lose. Not mentioned is the party has lost, is depended, heavily and pathetically, on Democrats being worse

Intellectuals are more often destructive than constructive when they're in positions of political power. You should know that. Hello?????

Your protests ring hollow. To lump Palin in with Huck and Pawlenty is self-deceptive at best. And PLEASE tell us what value "a little more intellectual depth" would be?

I think that you are reaching for any reason you can to reject Palin. You look a gift horse in the mouth -- we have had a gift delivered right to us, and you turn your nose up at it.

Huckabee says what he wants in his own name.
Unlike GOP-traitor Mitt Romney's and his minions' knives fresh with the coppery smell of Gov.Palin's and her childrens' blood on them all done secretly, through junior staff's spouses.

Hi, GOP_Lady,
See that you are as rude as ever. You are supposed
to ping someone you quote.

Also, it is interesting that you still support the
surreptitious activities against Gov. Palin on the
eve of Election 2008.
*** eve is poetic license like the other post.

Has Romney apologized to the Mauck family yet and
made history? [sound of crickets expected]

Why don’t you finally explain to everyone here why you posted this? This is my thread, so I have decided to post it and ask. Maybe, if you give us a rational explanation that we can understand ...

As you say, “tick, tick, tick.”

Well on this thread it is Romney that you are trying to defend, why don’t you elaborate on why you support Mitt Romney, surely you have something more than just telling us about DeMint?
