Rumor Patrol: Romney Camp Spreading Palin Stories?

07 Nov 2008 06:07 pm

Rumor: Aides and advisers to Mitt Romney are responsible for spreading most of the anti-Palin stories that have been going around; during the campaign, they pressured reporters to look into reports of tension between McCain and Palin factions.

Naw, it was a personal attack, as I re-quoted already.

You do know what the word “syntax” means?

Yes. But you, apparently don't know the meaning of "personal attack."

Naw, like I said, I already gave you the evidence so you don’t know what the word syntax means...

Thanks for sharing, though.

No matter how many times you take the time
to tell these cultists the facts, they only continue
their vicious attacks, systematic myopia, and obfuscation.

Naw, again you miss the mark.

It is not conspiracy when you are dealing with Mormons. Ever try to preach the Gospel in the state of Utah?

“When the Massachusetts’ Supreme Court imposed gay marriage on the citizens of the Commonwealth, Romney could have exercised a “bill of address” to impeach the activist judges. But he didn’t.

A governor cannot unliateraly impeach a justice. He needed a supermajority of the state legislature, which he would never have gotten, the legislature being dominated by dems.

He signed something he didn’t have to directing town clerks to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples or be fired. One Justice of the Peace Linda Gray Kelley did lose her job because of her religious views against gay marriage.

I defy you to support this assertion with a credible news source. And no, neither Newsmax, nor WorldNutDaily, nor Massresistance qualifies as a credible source.

Romney went even further however and directed his Department of Health to change the state marriage licenses to read “Party A” and “Party B” replacing “Husband” and “Wife.” Romney was under no legal obligation to do either of these things.

See above.

He now claims to support a constitutional amendment to protect marriage. Yet, in 2002, then governor Romney called a similar attempt to amend the Massachusetts’ Constitution “too extreme.”

Before the state supreme court imposed gay marriage, he did not think an amendment was necessary. However, once the court did it, he fought for an amendment with all his might.

It strikes me as pretty strange that there are people being “disciplined” over speaking out against the Mormon involvement in Prop 8, but I sure haven’t seen one single thing that would indicate that Mitt was or would be “disciplined” for his role in making gay marriage a fact in MA by the LDS “church”.

That's because the truth is the opposite of what you say: Mitt led the opposition to gay marriage in MA, the hateful nonsense spewed by idiots like Brian Camenker not withstanding.

Mitt imposed Gay Marriage upon Marriage because
it would be convenient for polygamists.

Whew... you sound like the DU'ers for BO with all that SPIN on Romney's lack of cajones to do the Holy thing about gay marriage.

The article was Townhall, btw.

Get your facts straight. Mitt just didn't fight it, face it. If he did, he wouldn't have let that Christian Justice of the Peace lose her job when she opposed having to marry gays!

It is very peculiar that no one is bringing up the polygamist who a few months ago went to court to legitimize his "marriages" because of all the gay marriages (that started in Mass.) LDS must have realized what a corner Mitt painted himself in.

Plus, backing anti gay marriage initiatives absolves LDS of their foundational problem that the "Mormon Fathers" that Mitt claims he follows, preached. And practiced. And practiced with the wives of other men.

It is a sick and perverted thing for Smith and Young to have dared tempt a Holy God by calling polygamy "holy". 'Specially when you just stole your neighbor's wife.

So, roll this hot potato political issue up and -- voila! LDS pays for Prop 8 in California.

Mormon Party Machinery for Mitt at work.

We are not fooled. And of course, neither is God.

Townhall is a publisher of opinion pieces. It is not a news source.

Get your facts straight.Mitt just didn't fight it, face it. Did you even set foot anywhere near the state of Massachusetts when it happened? Did you protest the statehouse? Do you know on a first-name basis the leadership of Massachusetts Citizens for Life and the other groups fighting gay marriage?

I thought not. You have no idea what you are talking about. I do because I WAS THERE.

If he did, he wouldn't have let that Christian Justice of the Peace lose her job when she opposed having to marry gays!

Lies.

Sigh. More Romney Derangement Syndrome induced paranoia. It would be funny if it were not so sad.

The LDS has opposed polygamy for over 100 years.

Mormon Party Machinery for Mitt at work.

More RDS paranoia.

What is really sad is you are fooling yourself, and you do not even know it.

I was living in Massachusetts at the time. I protested the decision on Beacon Hill. I was active in the movement tp fight the decision. I wrote an anti-gay marriage editorial for the MIT student newspaper. I walked the walk and talk the talk.

What is the spin of the Romney family of why he
micturated on the Mass. Constitution and imposed
Gay Marriage (which he cleared by telephone with
Utah, as he did other things)?

"Almost every critical remark made about Palin
on a recent briefing call about her selection came from political consultants
with ties to Romney. Those comments were planted, says one,
because they knew that reporters would be on the call."

[Washington Prowler, American Spectator, Storm Center, 9/2/2008]

This reminds Conservatives of Romney's fake badges and attacks on Sen Thompson.

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
."

That's just it. He didn't do anything of the sort. Quite the opposite: he fought gay marraige. I know, because I was there in Massachusetts as it was happening.

Where were you?

Curiosity (lying again for Myth Romney): Romney (never) signed gay marriage.

The Massachusetts Constitution ... states: "The power of suspending the laws,
or (suspending) the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature..."
but "Gov. Romney's legal counsel issued a directive to the Justices of the Peace
that they must perform same-sex marriages when requested
or 'face personal liability' or be fired".

And so, Mitt Romney (Democrat, Utah) urinated on the Massachusetts Constitution (the oldest in the US, perhaps)
and SCHEMED with his Utah pals to enforce an illegal and flawed Court decision.
Romney should --and could-- have done nothing.
But Romney is a coward except when he backstabbing women and children.
And so, instead of following the Constitution, venal backstabber Romney ignored the Constitution
and cowardly demanded that the Clerks obey the illegal order.

But for Romney, NOTHING would have happened.
Therefore, Romney must equally share responsibility with the
Mass. Court's Chief Justice (placed there by her husband on the New York Times through the Boston Globe),
but Romney always plays the poor Mormon 'victim'. It is his way.
Just as the way of Curiosity is to lie, and attack the poster without any basis, for his Master.

You are untruth about what happened.

It is reasonable to assume you are lying about the role of Utah in Massachusetts politics through the Carpetbagger Romneys.

There you go again citing WorldNutDaily.

When will you learn the difference between an online tabloid filled with nonsense and a credible source?
