Romney's $1.7 million tops field (CAPTION THE RINO MYTH ROMNEY)
Politico ^ | 2010-10-14 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Posted on 10/16/2010 6:41:38 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Mitt Romney’s political operation raised $1.7 million from July through September, again pacing the field of prospective 2012 GOP presidential hopefuls.

The former Massachusetts governor, who lost a bid for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination and is widely believed to be preparing another run, has built a robust political operation including political action committees at the federal level and in five states with strategic significance in the pending battle for the Republican nomination: Iowa, New Hampshire, Alabama, South Carolina and Michigan.

Romney you have no narrative.... None. You should save your money because Palin has the political capital that no other politician has had in 30 years. Its over before it has begun.

Mitt How did that book sale go? Did buyers camp out all night to meet you. LOL!

Glad you asked!

Confirmed: Mitt Romney's Book Sales Inflated by Bulk Orders

Whenever the NY Times places a "dagger" symbol next to a book, it signifies that "some bookstores report[ed] receiving bulk orders" for the book. The NY Times placed not just one, but two, daggers next to Romney's book.

You can draw your own conclusion as to who it was that purchased Governor Romney's book in bulk.

Now he will be known as ‘TWO DAGGER MITT’.

How slimey to buy one’s way to make yourself look good in the people’s eye to gain something to feed one’s ego. His DECEPTION is repulsive.

He is not the people’s choice and The GOP establishment and he knows it much like McCain, much like Dede, much like Mike Castle, etc., etc. The enemy is within and THE GOP/Newt/Rove promote them.

GO SARAH! Go Christine! Go Joe Miller! Go Paladino! Go Patriots/TeaParty Candidates!

WOW! Jobs? What about the 3,000+ who lost their lives in NYC and the companies who lost their business, and those at the Pentegon, and in PA. Patriot Todd Beamer was about taking down the enemy w/his ‘Let’s Roll’; yet, Mitt offers the enemy an opportunity to build a ‘victory mosque’. Todd helped his fellow citizen and Mitt spits on them.

Thank God for Patriots in this country and I curse those who compromise our country for money/power.

Mitt IS the scum of the earth.

If Sarah gets in the race, she'll take the Iowa caucus by a huge margin. Her momentum will carry her into NH where she will beat Mitt by a double-digit margin. At that point, Mitt will be finished.

That's provided of course, that Sarah gets in the race. Otherwise, we might be stuck with this guy.

...those who compromise our country for money/power. "

Those also who compromise for vanity: they can't bear being perceived as intolerant meanies. It is too big a wound to their vanity. They have water for guts.

Those who compromise American culture for vanity, adore the soothing myth of moral relativism in religions. Not that it really matters, but it puts those of us who see through the myth in the defensive position of being intolerant meanies. We either have to pretend that Islam is not a religion, as Michael Savage pretty convincingly argues, or come down square and say, "Islam is a proven failure and a proven mortal enemy of Judeo-Christian values, so screw them and the horse they rode in on. If they want to abide by their Muslim ways, let them do it in their own country. But HERE, in America, they are rejected."

GOP_Lady "Did you learn that from Diogenesis?"

Learn what?

And Capital does not = jobs.

Look at TARP. Oh, I forgot. Your candidate, Romney,
supported TARP and Obama. Hmmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmmm.

Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Not sure what your point is.

Is it that Mitt Romney has history of fake endorsements?

"Behind the empty gestures and deceptive rhetoric, Romney was not pro-life
or a defender of marriage by any stretch of the imagination.
He was a disaster," said O'Gorman, of the board for Massachusetts Citizens for Life.
He said Romney "deceptively" claims to have been awarded
a pro-life award from the group.

"The award Romney arranged for himself with the local Pioneer Valley Chapter
was the Mullins Award for Political Leadership, not a pro-life award
and not approved by MCFL's state board of directors," he said.
"We're blowing the whistle to warn voters…
"

Extreme? Meaning what? Is that your latest canard?
Yelling when you are losing?

Extreme? Extreme as in Romney's dog abuse?


"But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone
from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel
or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the
animal carried thereon.
" An officer for the Massachusetts Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation
saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer,
Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law
but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck,
and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."


"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch?
Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip
"Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter,
in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack.
e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog," read the article.
Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for.
....What Happens to a Dog on a Roof Traveling 50 MPH?"


"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely
the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea
in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon.
Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,"
the Republican said during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."


"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon,
keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble.
''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window,
payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust,
Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car,
then hopped back onto the highway."


"Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney
Critics, jokesters make issue of tale
TIME.com's Swampland blog has been flooded with more than 200 comments
from readers complaining of animal cruelty"


Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse?
Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron.
But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea,
which ran down the back window of the car. Romney's sons, all under 13, howled in disgust.
Romney pulled off the road into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, and they drove on to Ontario.
.....David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog.
"It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently,
in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever
for the suffering that the solution may cause."
