The Washington Post Bullies Romney

Romney apologized already.
There were several witnesses.

Shame on Romney to pretend that HE is the victim.

[shalom aleichem]

good. BTTT

The thing is...based on all the rules of what you put on the front page....this just wasn’t front-page material. At best, page three material. Then this reporter goes onto write like 5k words on this whole episode....which amazes me that you can draw this out to such a length.

Imagine a couple of guys today in some Houston school....cutting a kid’s hair like this, and some local reporter putting this on page one (won’t ever happen) and then writing more than 1k words on this (would never happen).

In the end, you’ve got wannabe journalists working for the Post, and pretending to be in the same league as Paul Harvey or Edward R Murrow. I’d send them back to the college newspaper or push them to retrain as used-car salesmen.

Sign of a dying newspaper.

To Washington Post: Please inform your readers the timeline of Barack Obama from Hawaii to Harvard.

[Kaslin]

It can’t happen soon enough

[saywhatagain]

Come on knock it off. Grow up

Your "hatred" for romney might be deserved . . . but its blinding you and others here who in "part" is the real enemy.

Your comments and thought process is allowing the soross' of the world not hold accountable those that are doing evil.

I pray I dont have to explain that simple concept to you.

Hey bro. I despise Romney. I really do. Crappy little liberal RINO opportunist big-money guy.

But you know what? The Marxist Media sucks more. These guys give Obama not only a pass on EVERYTHING, but even a God-damned HALO on a magazine cover. Literally.

I probably won't be nudged into feeling sympathy for Romney based on these surreal 'attacks', but I understand if others are.

[Diogenesis]

I like Romney. The issue is what he has done.

'Comments' do not permit evil.
Want to know what does? Want to see evil?

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
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…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"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 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."
… 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.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

---

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

So, when will you be joining the Obama campaign?

There is no longer even one primary candidate, opposing Romney. Pick a lane.

[muawiyah]

Really? Do they suck more, or do they suck equally.

Take a look at that recent Post poll that has Romney in the lower 40s, and Obama in the upper 30s (among registered voters).

This is not a contest of two guys who want to win ~ this is clearly a contest seen by the public as a "RACE TO THE BOTTOM".

I simply do not understand why the GOP-e, and their now willing accomplices outside of that circle, think they have to match the Democrats LOSER FOR LOSER.

We can do better.

[relictele]

The Post defends itself by calling its reporting "solid,"

In other news, the fox has checked in and reports the henhouse is doing fine.

[showme_the_Glory]

Piling on = 4 more 4 O.

[Lazamataz]

I simply do not understand why the GOP-e, and their now willing accomplices outside of that circle, think they have to match the Democrats LOSER FOR LOSER. We can do better.

This is perhaps the sanest message I have ever had from you. :) I agree with it.

[Diogenesis]

So YOU back Romney’s RomneyCARE, Romney’s death panels,
Romney’s flipflops, Romney’s judges’, Romney’fees,
Romney’s support of TARP and Sharia,
Romney’s support of the BIG DIG coverup, etc.

YOU ARE ALREADY ON OBAMA’s CAMPAIGN.

[saywhatagain]

Your point is well taken and I apologize for a mite bit too harsh.

However its obvious we are fighting a multi front war. Planned? I do believe so. Have no doubt Soros is with Romney in "some" aspect.

In "global" financing such as Bain, one develops many strange bedfellows and incestuous relationships. Unavoidable

However, recognize each specific battle for what it is.

If one condones bad behavior and misrepresentation of the main stream media because they are attacking someone we not like, despise and probably deserve . . . how does that make us better than them?

just saying

[Cringing Negativism Network]

What is your plan to “do better” at this point in the process? There’s an election now just 172 days away.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Look.

I was an early supporter of Palin. I’m not your enemy.

We have, what we have. Romney was ruthless, and I do not like him either.

However he’s proven to be a successful competitor. And he won, fair and square. Palin took herself out of the race. As much as I would like things to have gone otherwise, one must play the cards we’re dealt.

Romney is, who we have to work with now.

Pick a lane. Once Romney evicts Obama, then we can work at evicting Romney in 2016.

Keep in mind, the press will not be putting halos around Romney’s head, on magazine covers.

Romney will be a one-termer.

Then we can elect Palin. Presuming we can draft her to run then. Her kids will be older, and more aware of the world. It could happen, IMO.

Right now, we have an election to win.
