Romney Takes Ownership of Brown Victory
ABC The Note ^ | February 2, 2010 | Rick Klien

Posted on 02/02/2010 11:40:49 AM PST by yongin

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: For those reading 2012 implications out of Sen.-elect Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney’s 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 Romney’s 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 Brown’s victory -- notably Eric Fehrnstrom, Beth Myers, and Peter Flaherty -- were and continue to be Romney people.

Brown’s campaign manager, Beth Lindstrom, was a member of Romney’s Cabinet; his press secretary, Felix Browne, was a deputy press secretary under Gov. Romney; Brown finance director Priscilla Ruzzo held that same post in Romney’s 1994 Senate race; and Will Ritter was a key advance staffer for Romney before he worked for Brown’s campaign.

Ah, no. Charlie just got caught/exposed. All you have to do is read the rest of the posts about the “abuse” button use.
Its ok. There has been much laughter and banter about this today- thanks Charlie.

Hmmmm, I didn't get the impression from the moderator that it was done as a “joke.” I guess CharlesWayne forgot the < /sarc> tag

If it were a “joke” I doubt the mod would have posted what he/she did. It reminds me of my boys when they were young. They'd slip up and say something hurtful - then claim it was a joke, when they were exposed.

Okay, I've had my say. I won't mention the report for abuse against JimRob again, but I'll laugh occasionally when I think of it.

Im wondering when he will hit the abuse button on himself

I've done it. After posting in anger and perhaps using language that's inappropriate or engaging in a personal attack. I try to think first before posting but it doesn't always work.

You defend the disingenuous defender of Romney.


One example:

CharlesWayneCT (RomneyBOT Romney apologist)"
"We were all alive and reading the news the day the Supreme Court of Massachusetts legalized gay marriage."

That is not what happened.

Despite the RomneyBOT falsehood,
The Massachusetts Constitution states:
"The power of suspending the laws, or
(suspending) the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature...
"
But Romney, on orders from his Church
which were told today by LadyLawyer,
and to violate the Mass. Constitution (typical carpetbagger mentality) Willard Romney
then acted "on his own" in illegal legislative authority,
to backstab the voters, to back his party,
as Romney issued his own crafted “directive to the Justices of the Peace that they must
perform same-sex marriages when requested
or 'face personal liability' or be fired."

I agree with you. The libertarian position on abortion does not consider the unborn child.

Sure, go ahead, call me Chuck. Nobody else does. :-)

(I really am laughing. In middle school there was another boy named Charles in my spanish class, but he sometimes used “Chuck”, while I never did.

So I got the name “Carlos”, and he got the name “Chu-Chu”. Ever since then, whenever someone calls me Chuck, it makes me laugh.

My favorite high school electronics teacher always called me Chuck. Otherwise, I’ve never used Chuck, but I don’t feel slighted if people call me that.

I’ve been called a lot worse.

That is complete nonsense, as is about 90 percent of what you post about Mormons in general and Romney in particular.

TMI. Okay, you are a principled man; a self-appointed mini-mod. Did you or did you not mean the ‘hit abuse’ on post #50 by JR as a joke? Be a man and be truthful.

The abuse button is a way for all of us to help the mods police the forums. They can’t read every post.

I'm guessing they will be reading all of YOUR posts from now on, LOL!
