Romney had no part in these smears against Palin.
Not only is he not that vindictive, Romney has no motive.
These anti-Palin smears were (are) being made by McCain aids who couldn’t stand the thought that Palin was more popular than THEIR geezer boring Democrat leaning candidate.
In mid September, Palin expressed a strong desire to go after Obama with both barrels.
McCain’s wimp ass aids nixed the idea, and the relationship between the two camps went downhill from there.
Palin also purportedly advised McCain to vote AGAINST that idiotic bailout, which further caused the two camps to fight.
What the heck did McCain expect. You can’t put two headstrong candidates together and expect one to lay down for the other.
McCain was so enamored of his status as a “maverick” that he grew increasingly jealous when Palin turned out to be even MORE of a maverick than him.
McCain had convinced himself that the national press would eventually come to his side. They always had before, so why not now.
When it failed to happen, the McCain aids lashed out at the nearest target.... Sarah Palin.
I personally believe Romney is behind this, but even if he is not, he is not a conservative.
Romney signed gov’t healthcare.
Romney signed gay marriage.
Romney attacked the Boy Scouts.
Mitt Romney does not have a future in the GOP with me.
