Emails That Romney Tried to Hide Are Revealed

Once-secret emails from Mitt Romney's time as governor that were revealed today spurred a flurry of comments about the candidate's support for the so-called individual mandate. Yet there's another issue that's been revived: Romney's secrecy.

When Romney left the governor's office in Massachusetts, his staff erased all the emails from a computer server and bought the hard drives used to store data, so that their correspondence would stay hidden.

Or so they thought.

Tom Trimarco, Romney's administration and finance secretary, never deleted his emails. Some of them surfaced today in The Wall Street Journal, which submitted a public information request for emails involving Trimarco and officials in the administration.

The emails show that Romney was neck-deep in negotiations to get his health care bill passed, that he personally wrote op-eds about it, and that he defended the so-called individual mandate to buy health insurance, a provision in President Obama's law that has drawn criticism from Republicans.

Bless your little heart, you spittle on and on in this thread about punishing the D’s and R’s by voting third party, and when asked if you actually understand the significance of Ross Perot being THE REASON Clinton won, you spin off in near incoherence, throwing a tantrum, trying to raise an argument. Bless oyur little heart, you relly need a cookie apparently, or a nap. Some think Obama for four more years will bring a conservative new dawn. Soem, like me, believe four more years of little barry bastard commie and their will not be a Republic in which a conservative tidal wave can happen. Your milage may vary, but time will tell now won’t it! ... Now enjoy your childish tantrum.

So you’d prefer Obama?

I read it, just like I’ve read the posts of the entire thread. But that isn’t relevent when an ego-tripper is ‘teaching us all a lesson’. Bert is also my friend and I don’t appreciate bullying tactics even when I know bert could crush the poster like a stink bug.

In effect, Conservatives who don't vote for Romney help Obama.

Therefore, LIBERALS, who don't vote for Obama, help Romney.

You can rationalize till hell freezes over but it will not change the truth

Kinda like being a MORMON.

Other than that, I don't have any answers.

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14  (NIV)

IF my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,

 then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

...you could save yourself some time and embarassment...

Good luck with THAT!

SOME folks seem to THRIVE on it!

[Elsie]

We have bigger fish to fry.. ie- freedom.

Ha!

Is THAT all you are worried about?

[Elsie]

There are only two candidates.

You haven't looked at a BALLOT lately; eh?

[Elsie]

Thought experiment:

Just what will happen to Mittbots if the DEMS decide to DUMP Barry at their convention and run someone else for Pres?

Ten Nan, I have held MHGinTN in good regard for years. He may have been for Newt in the primary, but he wants me and thee to vote for Romney in the general. When I present clear, meticulous, solid arguments in support of the strategy of voting third party for the express purpose of weakening the win of whichever socialist, Romney or Obama, wins, he not only doesn't read them so he can make a reasonable, informed, civil argument against them ...

... he answers in a heat of anger, with personal insults, asking questions that are nonsensical in light of the opinions he's supposedly arguing against, because he didn't actually READ the posts. He quickly became reduced to responding SOLELY with insults because he cannot answer with anything of substance. See his post 123.

Romney may not have been his candidate when Newt was in the race, but if he is going to attempt urge (and insult and bully) me into voting for Romney now, while shouting down, fingers firmly planted in his ears for remaning stubbornly ignorant of arguments I make that there's another option, then Romney is his candidate whether he likes it or not. It bothers me all the more becaue I like MHGnTN. He's been a FReeper I've respected for years.

But if you follow the posts on this thread, you can see what a sorry state he's been reduced to in his panic to rationalize voting for Romney at any cost.
