"I don't have lobbyists running my campaign. I don't have lobbyists tied to my..." [then a reporter takes Romney to task].
(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
If past stuff can be used by Romney or by the media against Newt, Ron Paul, Santorum, then turnabout is fair game.
If the Hillary saying she was under sniper fire incident could be used against her when she ran against Obama, then this can also be used against Romney.
Make this go viral. Put it all over the internet.
1200+ likes yet only 300+ views. What’s with that?
The Imperial Romney can say anything. Anything at all.
He is to be our King - the Mormon Obama.

Sorry... but Mitt Romney > than Glen Johnson. I’m not a big fan of Mitt, but at least he didn’t author this:

To steal a line from the movie The Survivors, Mitt Romney is slicker than whale sh@t in a ice flow.
I thought Romney handled that pretty well, actually. The reporter came across as unprofessional.
Romney Surrounded by Pro-U.N. Lobbyists
Cliff Kincaid January 17, 2008
Excerpt:
Insisting that he is a Washington outsider, Mitt Romney has been captured on tape arguing with a reporter about whether
a Washington lobbyist named Ron Kaufman runs or just advises his campaign for president. The more important issue is what Kaufman lobbies for.
It turns out that Kaufmans firm, as well as another Romney adviser, Vin Weber, have worked to put more American taxpayer dollars into the coffers of the corrupt United Nations and other international agencies.
Kaufmans firm, Dutko Worldwide, represents and works directly with an organization chaired by Bill Clinton,
the Global Fairness Initiative (GFI), whose board includes AFL-CIO President John Sweeney and is dedicated to promoting a more equitable and sustainable world for all people.
A press release describes the substantial connections between Dutko and GFI, with a Dutko official being quoted as saying, Dutko Global Advisors is proud to support the work and mission of GFI because its work is fundamentally about nurturing the virtuous cycle of free and fair trade, the creation of economic opportunities, and harmonious relations worldwide.
The group appears to be mostly devoted to pursuing international agreements or arrangements protecting labor rights and the environment in fair trade deals. This is, of course, a major demand of liberal and union groups.
Dutko also says it represented or has worked with various multilateral organizations, including the U.N.s International Labor Organization and World Health Organization, and endeavors to educate the Congress and others about the globally respected work of the U.N. and its agencies.
Many multi-lateral organizations receive dues allocations from US government, as well as funds ear-marked for projects and programs important to public policies
pursued by the US government, Dutko says. The implication is that Dutko can keep the taxpayer dollars flowing to such causes.

He's too "handsome" to be called to task.
Oh Gee - don’t be argumentative with the prissy prince candidate.
GTH Romney, LIAR.
GO NEWT!
The last 15 seconds is particularly bad, when Eric Fehrnstrom jumps into the argument. Certainly reflects how scripted these (campaign) press conferences are, and how scripted a candidate Romney is.
The Romney News Network (Fox) will gloss over this entirely.
He’s full of GOP-E Washington insiders and lobbyists.
Liar deluxe.
His campaign bot tells the reporter “don’t be argumentative with the candidate.”
GTH Romney.
Insignificant and petty. The reporter is a twit. Romney is a wishy-washy bore.
Lacks the stuff to go viral.
Great find Star.....Romney trying to say Kaufman isn’t in play in his campaign is simply stupid to deny....but then Romney is a liar and like the snake he is wiggles himslef out of a tight spot.....even if after being exposed...same ol’ tune. “I’m innocent even when proven otherwise”
wow - this is really something.
It isn’t just that he got caught telling a whopper...the way the reporter got treated at the end reminds me of how our current administration strong arms naughty reporters.
I remember this well. Romney’s “depends what the meaning of the word is, is” moment.
It was such a window in to what a serial fibber Romney is. He didn’t bat an eyelash in redefi
It's also 4 years old.
