I raised slightly over $40,000 for Fred and will aim at $2 million dollars for Governor Palin. You can, too.

“Romney advisor on Palin: “She’s not a serious human being””

I don’t see them saying that about Duncan Hunter, or Pawlenty...so I guess SARAH is the BIG-TIME FAVORITE for 2012.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well you Romneyites, I voted for Mitt during the last Republican Presidential primary. THE NEXT DAY, he dropped out. He’ll never get my vote again. I don’t care if he’s the last “Republican” on Earth. I won’t vote for him.

"... by traditional standards, the putative 2012 frontrunner ..."

Huh? Romney? What planet are we on, again?

[taillightchaser]

If she gets the nomination, you can count me in for all I can afford.

“She’s not a serious human being”

Meaning she is not an IvY League Alinsky grad with more anxiety than a constipated monk at a nudist colony.

Memo to Mitt Romney:

If you showed up for a speech in Podunk, Missouri, you’d draw about 500 people, most of them political hacks.

Palin could show up, unannounced, and draw 5000 average Americans.

Now, why would you and your political minions be so worried about someone who is “not a serious person”? Cause she will BURY you if she runs.

Hey Mitt you RINO, FU and the advisers you rode in on

Mitt Dog-Abuser Romney is not serious human adult.

"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."

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."

Sarah has more brains, common sense, and balls than any of the others I’ve seen. If she runs, she will get every dollar I can afford.
Romney is a has been RINO and Huckabee is a jerk-wannabe rock musician.
I love Newt, but he’s got too much baggage.

I didn’t know Democrats were advising Mitt.

[popdonnelly]

Not a good idea for Romney to be taking the same line of attack against Palin that the Democrats did. Palin fans have been fighting that one for two years. They would take kindly to having the same thing said by a Republican.

Romney advisor on Palin: “She’s not a serious human being”

Keep listening to your "advisor" and you will waste more of your millions running in another loosing campaign.

This slick son of a bitch's Ceausescu moment is coming any day now.

Sans the firing squad, for now.

[CaptainK]

"Exit question: Some Palin critics are speculating that the Bristol/Levi tabloid wedding announcement was secretly blessed by Sarah. Um, given the fact that her alleged unseriousness is already a major political liability for her, why on earth would she do that?

Because of the way it was explained by her daughter, Palin doesn't have to answer any questions about the engagement. She "didn't know" about it so there is nothing she can offer. All she can so is offer her blessings, which she did.

If you wanted to be really cynical you could suggest that Palin wants the marriage now so the entire sideshow of her single mom daughter is settled with Bristol's marriage is old news by the time she runs.

Mitt "Bow-to-my-Fake-Badge" Romney is not serious conservative.

"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:
"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."
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.

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
