The Book On Mitt Romney: Here Is John McCain's Entire Opposition Research File
BuzzFeed ^ | 1*17*12 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 01/17/2012 9:51:23 PM PST by Anti-Hillary

A document found online by BuzzFeed appears to be John McCain's entire, 200-page opposition research file — or “book” — on Mitt Romney from 2008, the year they were bitter rivals. Segments of the book have been posted on RedState.com, but this the first time the document has been shared for public consumption in its entirety.

Romney should have realized that the purpose of vetting now is to establish the CV against which we demand Obama respond in-kind.

When our candidate is thoroughly investigated, and (s)he has had ample opportunity to respond, then we set the benchmark against which we expect Obama to meet.

When Obama fails to meet the mark, and/or he avoids decades of precedent for debate, and when he tries to divert the attention to theatrics, we will win over the electorate.

I’m not going to even read it. Who needs rats when you have a circular firing squad.

We’ve got 48 out of 50 states left to determine that the “Buyout Baron of Bain,” Willard Mitt “RINO” Romney doesn’t make it to the general election. To suggest that vetting our candidates in the primary helps Democrats is just silly. Most of us agree that nominating Romney helps Obama win, so anything we can do to stop that from happening is good for our Party.

Willard Romney is not "our" candidate, as the opposition research dossier attests. Willard can go to hell.

Hey, there’s actually a lot of good material in here.

Recommend people download this to their HDs in case it disappears.

It's not a circular firing squad when Romney is not one of us. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is a liberal.

If idiot McCain had 200 pages, Obama must have 2000.

I meant "our" in the sense of the ultimate candidate who faces Obama, not Romney specifically.

Sorry if I was too terse in my writing.

I prefer Newt but if Romney is our nominee then I’m voting for him. The worst that can happen IMHO is 4 more zeros.

And, as someone said - why did McCain sit there and endorse Romney the other day? What sort of $hit is that? I hate that jerk.

Last I knew Romney and Paul were the two who tie Obama - at this point. Boy, what a great choice...but if I had to it would be Romney.

Why is it the rats get away with not pulling this crap on each other?

Anyone who has the nerve to try to actually make a difference is run outta town. I’m sick of it all.

The worst that can happen is that the GOP starts thinking that Aria and people like Aria support the GOP moving to the left. And then the GOP continues on the left, knowing that the Arias of the world will support it no matter how liberal of a candidate they run.

No, to me the worst that can happen is that Obama gets his way for 4 more years and the health care system he’s instituted decrees that some of us aren’t worthy of living, that we aren’t worthy of speaking, that we aren’t worthy of our own free will because we will not conform to the politically correct insane Muslim/Marxist/Gay/Racist/money stealing rules he’s mandated.

If what has become a disgusting system decrees that Romney is our only choice against trying to keep absolute tyranny at bay then I have to vote for him. I consider that facing reality. I wanted Sarah and Sarah is winking Newt...so out here in Oregon I can pray that other states choose the right people despite the establishment GOP - to which, BTW - I have not given a plugged nickel in some time.
