ABC News Rick Klein reports: For those reading 2012 implications out of Sen.-elect Scott Browns victory in Massachusetts, Mitt Romneys monthly PAC newsletter provides some insights.
Brown, R-Mass., is featured in two pictures in the newsletter, and Romney takes full ownership of his victory:
As supporters of the PAC, you deserve a thank you, the newsletter from Romneys Free Strong America PAC reads. Your support made it possible for Governor Romney to get behind Senator Brown from the very beginning, when polls showed him a 30-point underdog and everyone assumed the outcome was pre-ordained in favor of the Democrats.
Governor Romney asked his entire political team to help the then-unknown Brown, and he raised early money for him at a time when very few people would give him a second look.
Indeed, several key figures in Browns victory -- notably Eric Fehrnstrom, Beth Myers, and Peter Flaherty -- were and continue to be Romney people.
Browns campaign manager, Beth Lindstrom, was a member of Romneys Cabinet; his press secretary, Felix Browne, was a deputy press secretary under Gov. Romney; Brown finance director Priscilla Ruzzo held that same post in Romneys 1994 Senate race; and Will Ritter was a key advance staffer for Romney before he worked for Browns campaign.

Interesting, sort of a self assigned “mini-mod”
I myself have never pulled the trigger. I don't care what folks say to or about me and we have mods for the rest.

In 'lighter' times I would, but with what we now face I believe my present tagline is the one most likely to be soon be put to the test.

Conditions such as we have now were in place in 1775 and lead to a revolution.
No they're not, but you admittedly are not a student of history. However, if you do decide to plunge into the study of history, that would be a great place to begin.

That just makes me laugh. So you keep right on making it your business to police and report words you are offended by or words that are just not to your liking or words that you think to do not advance the conversation.....its ok.

What would cause you to hit the abuse button for Jim Robinson himself though?

"The Mods have a lot of ground to cover, and I think it is helpful to them to point out possible areas of concern so they can take action if necessary.
I figure the abuse button is there for us to help the mods keep the site clean, orderly, and following the rules." I love it Charles...I have posted replies alluding to your being "The Self-Appointed FR Posting Chief of Police" and here you are admitting it!
Oh, SNAP!

“mini-mod” implies that my opinion has some sort of weight with the mods — something I certainly don’t claim, or see any evidence of. We have mods, but they can’t read every post, so I hope I’m helping them. If they told me I was annoying them, I’d stop. I don’t do it for me.
To: ejonesie22
Hope I made that simple enough for you otherwise, for I don't know how to resort to crayons on FR.

I think that I’ve admitted it whenever I saw your posts about it.
In fact, yesterday someone, maybe it was you I don’t remember, posted the “official thread police badge” picture to someone else, and I complained that it was MY badge.
Not only do I hit abuse, I also nag people publicly about their posts. It’s no secret.
To: CharlesWayneCT
I dont do it for me. How noble...
To: CharlesWayneCT
So what is it you find the mods need help with? I mean we know you already turned in for abuse the founder of FR.

Arrogant Presumption.
Wait, I said that already.

Do that often enough and you'll go blind.

And Romney never posed naked for a centerfold. I don't know....a full frontal of the sacred undies probably would have sold MORE magazines. The backside?...well, egads I've seen the view and it's horrible. I can't even imagine how so many mormon babies are born.
