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.

Is it more 'over the top' than Romney and his operatives
THROWING the election to Obama (for Romney's fantasies in 2012)?
I think not. What say you?

I think theyd be a lot wiser to let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin. Let her talk to the media, let her talk to people... Look she wasnt selected by John McCain because shes an expert on foreign policy; John McCains the expert on foreign policy, Romney said. She was selected because shes a maverick. Shes a person who identified with people in homes across America...Shes an executive and a governor, and that brings a lot to John McCains ticket.This is exactly the kind of thing I heard Mitt repeat quite often about Sarah. He was very complimentary and supportive. He has a lot more in common with Palin than McCain. Just like Sarah, he disapproved of the way the McCain people handled her roll-out.

If it wasn’t a over-the-top (outrageous and ugly), then why was it deleted? Be careful, is all I have to say. It’s time to act like adults already.

Really. It's Romney Derangement Syndrome on steroids. It's terminal. Even on a thread with an article that EXONERATES ROMNEY they cannot contain themselves and their irrational hatred.
To: libbylu
NO sources, just you guess.
So you guess that Mitt’s supporting Sarah?
To: GOP_Lady; Jim Robinson
My dear GOP_Lady,
it was deleted because one of you RomneyBOTs demanded it
be censored. Sort of like Romney-WORLD or Obama-WORLD
or Stalin-WORLD, isn't it.
This PROVES that Romney and the RomneyBOTs are against the First Amendment
which says there is FREE SPEECH. Just like the 2nd Amendment, right?
And again I ask the question not one of you dare to answer.
Is it more 'over the top' than Romney and his operatives
THROWING the election to Obama (for Romney's fantasies in 2012)?

I don’t care if it’s Sarah, Mitt, Fred, John, Mike, etc., when someone is accused of intentionally smearing someone, you had better have proof. This whole thing is childish and has to end.

there’s a rumor that Romney is a conservative. That has also been debunked many times.

I think that the McCain people have succesfully turned the Palin faction and the Romney faction against each other. They never did like Romney and they used Palin for their own gain , only to trash her for the loss .
Please keep the McCain campaign people (Davis & Schmidt) far , far away from any of our future candidates .

I DON’T BELIEVE IT! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO “KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE”. DON’T BUY INTO THIS ROMNEY ACCUSATION!!!
For all we know, it could be the Obama camp, the Huckabee camp, or McCain staffers. Fact is, it makes no difference at this point. Anyone anonymous is discredited and people who were there at the time clearly stated these allegations are false.
Don’t fall for this and eat up our own! PLEASE LIVE BY THE RULE OF RONALD REAGAN

Why the heck do some of you keep digressing into your personal rants against Romney’s stance on issues? What ever his positions are is irrelevent to determining the validity of this accusation. WHERE is the evidence of that Romney had anything to do with the horrible things said about Palin?

Mitt Romney is not a conservative and I don’t want anything to do with him.
He had a good gig hosting Love Connections, he should go back to doing that.

I would like to get to the bottom of who is behind this. I want to be really angry at who it really is.
To: oflyboy; GOP_Lady
If Romney can duplicate the economic success for this country which he achieved for himself and his corporations, we won't need the socialism you will see flowing down from Obama administration.

Exactly. There is no evidence. And like I said, the person being accused could be ANYONE, and I would question it. Indeed, people here are just plain ranting.
