Mitt Romney-Sarah Palin in 2012? You betcha! (April 15th Rehash)
The Boston Herald ^ | 2010-04-15 | Edward Mason, Hillary Chabot, &Jessica Van Sack

Posted on 09/05/2010 8:41:05 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.

“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.

Mitt Romney??? NO FLIPPIN’ WAY!

NO RINOs! We need somebody that at least remotely resembles a conservative. The morons, the absolute idiots running the GOP remain clueless. They’re either too stupid to understand our form of government and the electorate’s desires, or they’re in bed with the democRATS, bent on destroying the nation.

In your dreams.
Now, how about that walk of Romney with MLK?

MORE MYTHS from MYTH ROMNEY


"Mitt Romney Lies About Father ‘Marching With Martin Luther King, Jr.’"
"Mitt Romney has been caught in yet another lie.
Only yesterday Romney’s claim of not supporting Planned Parenthood abortion mills was abruptly smashed by a photograph surfacing of him at one of their fundraisers in 1994.
Today, it’s Romney’s claim that his father “marched with” famed civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
During his “I’m a Mormon but it doesn’t matter” speech, Mitt Romney claimed he saw his father,
George Romney, marching with MLK during a 1968 civil rights march through Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
It was a stirring account of the efforts of his father to show that the Romney family have always reached across ecumenical lines.
Only one little problem… it never happened."


"Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald.
Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said:
"My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."
"Yesterday (12/20/07), Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged that was not true.
"Mitt Romney did not march with Martin Luther King,"
he said in an e-mail statement to the Globe.


Against Myth Romney is 1:

"On Sunday, June 23, 1963, 125,000 people marched down Detroit's Woodward Avenue
to the Civic Center, in what was described at the time as the largest civil-rights demonstration in the nation's history.
According to the next day's account in the Holland Evening Sentinel,
the crowd at the Center "lustily booed," when representatives of Governor George W. Romney
read a proclamation declaring "Freedom March Day in Michigan." But Martin Luther King Jr. didn't fault Romney for his absence,
which the governor ascribed to his policy against public appearances on the Sabbath.
"At a news conference following the march . .
[King] refused to criticize Romney for not attending the demonstration," the Sentinel reported."

Against Myth Romney is 2:

Susan Englander, assistant editor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project at Stanford University, who is editing the King papers from that era,
says Myth Romney was untruthful, when she told the Globe yesterday:
"I researched this question, and indeed it is untrue that George Romney marched with [Dr.] King."

Against Myth Romney is 3:

"King never marched in Grosse Pointe, according to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society,
and had not appeared in the town at all at the time the Broder book was published.
“I’m quite certain of that
,” says Suzy Berschback, curator of the Grosse Pointe Historical Society"

Don’t know why you’re freaking out about a guy that Palin apparently endorses. You don’t like Palin?

Your confusion is to fall for Romney's fake endorsements.

Like his FAKE BADGES.


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."

FAKE TROOPER (and Chief of Operations)

And your confusion is to think that Palin is pure as the driven snow and will not support RINOS when it benefits her personally.

Palin has endorsed, thus far, six solid RINOS.

And I'm not bashing Palin and I'm not bashing Mitt. Just observing that she seems far less conservative in her actions than in her PERCEIVED speech. If she was the nominee, I'd work for her. If Mitt's the nominee, I'd work for him.

I'm hoping we haven't seen the nominee yet.

Romney has been endorsed by DeMint directly, and by his surrogate Rubio - DeMint fully supports Romney, he wants to be his VP for 8 years.

Palin was doing a rally in Massachusetts and it would be impolite to tear down Romney in his own state.

Interesting that you feel that being polite to a weasel like Mitt Romney is an asset, a positive.

You know what's impolite? Making nice with Romney while the people in "his own state" continue to pay through the nose for Romney care while he continues to brag about its "success" from his home in San Diego.

Because while Romney maintains a residence in Massachusetts by claiming his son's home as his own when he's there, he no longer owns a home there. So much for "his own state", huh?

http://www.nctimes.com/news/state-and-regional/article_29be3537-a25e-5d7d-8089-ab8546fa1ea6.html

What in the world do you feel Romney has done to merit "polite" other than being a politician? Why does he merit anything in light of his liberal, back-stabbing history?

How about some consideration for the people of Massachusetts who have to suffer with the decisions Mitt Romney made as governor?

“Why on earth in a time of a conservative surge would conservative in their right mind vote for a flip-flopping RINO like Willard? There is no point in winning if a RINO is elected that undermines a conservative agenda.”

Better ask Arizona that question about their boy Johnny Mac. They voted in a time of Conservative ascendancy for a flip-flopping idiot Rino, who lost to Obama, over Conservative Hayworth. If you want anybody to blame then blame them. Watch McCain undermine the conservative agenda again. Enjoy.

“Palin has endorsed, thus far, six solid RINOS.”
Sad. becuase if she hadn’t she would be the front runner. Left the door open for others now to run, attack her for those endorsements and to question motives and stances.

She pulled out the McCain Bot card at the 8/28 rally when she brought out McCain. Its a shame because now I don’t know who to turn too. I still like her, but she is not making it easy to defend her. I don’t support McCain, Romney or a big government politician.

It is still very early in the game, Mozilla. Let’s pray for a real conservative to emerge, and not one of the warmed-over losers from the last cycle.
