[RobbyS]

As a campaigner he is just plain awkward.

[Arizona Carolyn]

[GOP_Lady]

Scott Brown = Mitt Romney

[Diogenesis]

"Scott Brown = Mitt Romney

Uh, no. Sen. Brown does not equal proven bad governor and backstabber Mitt Romney-care.

THE REAL DEAL:

In many a thread, FReepers have been hearing
about how Mitt Romney CREATED Sen. Brown,
[who would be NOTHING without Romney] and
how billionaire Romney FINANCED his entire run.

Well, ooooopsie. Almost a week after this thread began
the following leaked by Bloomberg:
1) Generous billionaire Mitt gave Brown $4500
and that was from his slush fund of OP$ (other peoples money).

2) McCain actually gave more. ROTFLOL.

“Romney (from his last lost presidential run still) had $1.1 million left in the bank.
He contributed $4,500 [that is 0.4% of other peoples’ money ] to Republican Scott Brown,
who was elected US senator from Massachusetts on Jan. 19.
McCain topped Romney’s donation to Brown’s campaign,
chipping in $5,000 from his PAC,
according to the commission. -- BLOOMBERG NEWS”

What part of “DO NOT POST TO ME” don’t you understand?

I don’t need to be replied to by an irresponsible poster like yourself.

And stop being childish and pinging everyone and their uncle.

[Diogenesis]

GOP_Lady, despite the claim of you and Mitt Romney-care,
you do not own the Internet and FReeRepublic.

RomneyBOTs always dislike the 1st Amendment.

Just like Obama. Now wonder Romney and his
Legion of antiConservative RomneyBOTs helped Obama
win Election2008.

[Tennessee Nana]

Oh lighten up...

Romney has been pro-abortion for 40+ years..

Brown is pro-abortion...

In that they are the same...

Whether Romney taught Brown to hate unborn babies or not I dont know...

[Diogenesis]

How dare YOU, who work for someone who THREW Election2008
to Obama, claim anyone else is irresponsible?

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."

WHAT!!??

Why... he SINGLEhandedly put ScottBrown into the Senate!!

[Elsie]

Scott Brown = Mitt Romney

See folks!

That's what I just said!

[Elsie]

you do not own the Internet and FReeRepublic.

She's been slapped down over this, time and time again; yet she STILL gets her feathers all ruffled every time it happens!

Hubris has NO limits!

[Elsie]

Romney has been pro-abortion for 40+ years..

IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Why; he's a VERY dedicated MORMON!!!

Even been a MISSIONARY for them and held various high offices in the Church.

Surely you can't expect us uninformed folks to BELIEVE what you've just said??

Can you??

[Diogenesis]

You are correct.

It is the same hubris that makes Mitt Romney-care
actually think that he could sabotage Election2008
by attacks on Gov. Palin, and then run
himself in the same party.

Mitt Willard Romney-care deserves exactly
the loyalty he gave Gov. Palin — NONE

[FrankR]

"Why... he SINGLEhandedly put ScottBrown into the Senate!! "

Yep...I agree! Then Romney spun around, grabbed Brown's coat tail to take advantage of the momentum.

But, obamacare = romneycare = obamacare = romneycare...etc.

[greyfoxx39]

What part of “DO NOT POST TO ME” don’t you understand?

Gonna sue him?

[cricket]

Another ‘please’ here/lol. . .

[ansel12]

Scott Brown = Mitt Romney = wrong

Brown is pro abortion like Mitt, although not as aggressively so, but he is more of a man and isn't as liberal as Mitt.

He isn't a physical coward that fled to France to avoid military service for instance.
