If its about Tagg(Which I doubt) its still no one’s business and has nothing to do with Mitt Romney..the family should be off limits..nothing criminal was done..I really think this is all overblown..seeing Romney last night after the debate, he just looked so happy, like a man who knows he is going to win..all this crazy rubbish is what it is, rubbish

He’s Mr. TMZ is he hot?

Also.....what Trump may have on the Obama divorce paper MAY prove to be interesting.....as to the REASON for the divorce. My hunch.....MO is a beard.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

“not”

[Responsibility2nd]

 

That's not Gloria Allred. No sir.

That's Donald Trump in drag.

Getting records unsealed where Romney is a witness is much different than if he is the plaintiff or defendant. There may be other elements of privacy involved if Romney wasn't one of the main players.

Good point, however I wonder if the real reason is the "news cycle" and the charge of hiding something.

ALLREDDY BOMB

Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said Gloria’s gonna knock Mitt for a loop
And let me tell ya, she’s got some news that’s new
And we’ll soon find out it’s true
And then he’ll have to leave the race due to her scoop

It’s an Allreddy bomb
She will drop on Rom
We will sing this vict’ry song
Woo hoo hoo, bye bye, woo hoo hoo

The threat that is Mitt Romney made me weep and want to die
And I guess I felt like the future wasn’t bright
But October, Miss Allred—well, it took us by surprise
Though we’re in a tunnel, now we see the light . . . that’s right

It’s an Allreddy bomb
She will drop on Rom
We will sing this vict’ry song
Woo hoo hoo, bye bye, woo hoo hoo . . .

Well, I know it won’t be long the polls are down
Heaven knows, it won’t be truth that sets us free
So often times it happens that we look for hope and change
And we never even know we have the key

You’ll see an Allreddy bomb
She will drop on Rom
We will sing this vict’ry song
‘Bout an Allreddy bomb

Yes, an Allreddy bomb
She will drop on Rom
We will sing this vict’ry song
‘Bout an Allreddy bomb

Yes, an Allreddy bomb
Allreddy bomb, alright, nighty night
Allreddy bomb
Allreddy bomb . . .

Allred, Larry Flynt, and the rest of the low-life scum have continued to try to destroy the lives of good people. What the left did to Sarah Palin and her family is totally disgusting, and I hope they all rot in hell where they belong.

Awe shucks gang - if it were really that bad don’t you think Newt or Santorum would not have found it? McCain would not even look but Romney was nasty-effective against the rest in debates. Someone would have outed an achilles heel.

Same goes for Barry - if were dead-to-rights, Hill’s minions would have sent it to her Fedex Same-Day (tm). Hello Federal.

Chill folks. If there was really anything here, do you not think one of Romney’s opponents in the 2008 or 2012 primary would have discovered it before now (they spend millions on this sort of OP Research). In fact Romney would have had to disclose it in 2008 when he was being vetted as McCain’s potential VP. Obama/Axelrod/Allred are desperate and grasping at straws, just ignore them.

His gardener most likely hired an Illegal alien and this should some how disqualify Romney.

The dirt that could be made public about 0bastard would make a very big mountain.

Under what grounds can she do this>? Freedom of Information?

[AFPhys]

That is exactly the game: innuendo.

If there WAS damaging information to Mitt, she would have made the request a lot more than two weeks before the election. The goal here is to be sure that no matter what the judge says the records are NOT released.

There's another point to this as well: the first person a good, competent campaign does opposition research on is ... it's own candidate. This would certainly include reviewing (verbally, behind closed doors, with the candidate himself) the content/nature of things like sealed court testimony.

Especially in a situation where the opponent (in this case Barack Obama) has a good track record of obtaining such.

So if the Romney Campaign knew about this and didn't prepare for it, we're talking about one of the most egregious cases of campaign management malfeasance in history. If Romney knew about it and didn't reveal it to his campaign managers, he richly deserves what he's going to get.

What worries me though about this isn't either of the above, because I really do think that whatever it is Romney told his people about it and they are prepared to deal with a release.

What worries me is that Allred may be going into this knowing that the records won't be unsealed. But they WILL generate controversy and attention, to which Romney (being under the gag order) won't be able to respond to. So all sorts of speculation will be prompted and will take place.

That's a pretty difficult thing to defend against. Making me wonder if the Harry Reid accusations against Romney's taxes weren't so much of a serious attack as a trial run to gauge how the Romney Campaign would respond to allegations that would be hard to, if not impossible to, disprove.

“Allred knows about this and Gingrich, Santorum, Bachmann and Cain had no clue..I highly doubt that”

Gingrich, Santorum, Bachmann and Cain knew; they also knew better.

Allred knows, but does not know better, nor does any other Lib.

[ducttape45]

All I got to say is that the courts better keep this thing sealed or that Romney's lawyers sue Allred to keep them sealed. In any case, keep them sealed.

This disgusting practice of the "October surprise" and destruction of a candidate through personal assassination ought to be outlawed and done away with. Oh, and Gloria Allred ought to be run out of the country!
