"Bay Buchanan, a longtime conservative activist, worked on the Romney campaign’s behalf to win over voters and commentators." -- The Calculations That Led Romney to the Warpath

More about Bay at Greta Wire "In the pic: Bay Buchanan and Rep Jason Chaffetz in the back of the room at a Gingrich campaign event in Florida this afternoon. (And no, there is nothing wrong with them attending the event..it is only interesting.)

Congressman Chaffetz has been a guest on ON THE RECORD at 10pm on more than one occasion and I have known Bay Buchanan for years – so long that I don’t know where we met. I also know her brother Pat who worked at CNN when I was there.

I asked my assistant to get me some routine background info on Congressman Chaffetz to post and I was surprised by his colorful history. He used to be a Democrat but switched parties and became a Republican after he got married. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, or if his wife is just persuasive!

Also – look who his father was married to! The wife of Democratic nominee for President Michael Dukakis! Congressman Chaffetz was also the Utah co-chairman of the Dukakis campaign.".............. [end quote from Greta Wire]

_____________________________________________

It has come to my attention that both Bay Buchanan and Rep Jason Chaffetz are Mormon converts. Nothing wrong with that but it does add something to the full story.

I wouldn’t go to someone else’s rally. It just brings attention to that rally.

Bay Buchanan and Rep Jason Chaffetz are Mormon converts? Well, I guess that explains those two.

I wonder if John Bolton and Ann Coulter who also support Romney over Newt are recent converts as well.

This is kind of a tacky thing to do. Especially in a primary race.

It’s terrible that the first thing I think about this is WHO is paying for these congress critters to fly all over the country to disrupt candidates?

Do they put this down as personal expense or are the putting this down as political expense. I for sure would not allow this as an expense on the taxpayer.

I don’t mind Mormons, such as Chaffetz and Bay Buchanan pushing a candidate, such as Romney, but I still say Americans in general should look into and consider that Mormon pundits and politicians’ may be directed by the religious leaders such as the current Mormon president and prophet to act in the interest of Mormonism and Mormon business interests first and the American people second.

I admire this guy’s debating skills and tenacity, but he’d better be very, very careful: the minute he says something controversial, he is going to be dumped so fast his head will spin. In short, guys out front invariably get shot in the back. Sad fact of life — in both business and politics.

So, my advice to this brave soul: enjoy the pats on the back now — and watch for the knife later. And in the meantime, watch the old Steve McQueen movie “Tom Horn.”

I’m pretty sure the red-headed guy in the picture with Chaffetz and Buchanan is Romney staffer David Kochel.

He was the executive director for the Iowa Republican Party years ago when I was on the state committee.

A bemused Chaffetz replied, "I know you're shaking, you're nervous.

Chaffetz is one of our lawmakers. He sounds more like a third-grader on a playground. I fear for this country.

Go Newt.

Thanks for the tireless efforts for the best candidate at any time - I'm still a Perry fan and have high hopes that President Gingrich will be able to utilize his abilities and perhaps prime him for a follow-on to the Gingrich Admin.

You have proven (despite what many used to claim) you aren't a mindless, single-vision anybody-bot, but are expending a lot of energy for the real conservative cause and I for one appreciate you.

I know they can be there, by they don’t have aright to be there - they can be banned (Gingrich’s Freedom of Association and all). It is unseemly for them to be there, and for a sitting member of Congress to be there, is just disturbing.

I, like Trebb, also appreciate your efforts, your posts, and you perseverance in the face of mindless personal attacks and filthy language from some of the people on this board. I quit reading all political posts for awhile because of it and was close to deciding it was heading in the same direction as any of its DEM counterparts.

Jason Chaffetz is a Mormon who was spokesperson for LDS pyramid scheme NuSkin. His work was rewarded with full backing for a congressional seat for which he is utterly unqualified. The LDS is the evil empire. they back Mittens, but they also back amnesty for illegals. Whites are fleeing the LDS in droves and they need to replace them with Latins. Thus the push for amnesty. They even took out one of their own - Russell Pearce - in Arizona, replacing him with Jerry Lewis, their handpicked open-borders Mormon RINO.

I am wondering if Bay Buchanan, Chaffetz, etc are getting credit for missionary work. Someone should tell them, especially Bay, that the uniform is white shirt/black pants, not jeans that emphasize middle age spread. I really am finding this behavior, especially by a sitting Congressman, downright creepy.

And, am very disappointed in young Connie Mack and his bride, Mary Bono. Especially since young Connie Mack declared himself a candidate for the US Senate next year. Endorsing/supporting Romney is one thing, but this shadowing is just weird, particularly when they are so ill-informed.

By the time all of this is over, if Romney wins it will be a Pyrrhic Victory at best.

He'll lose at least 40% of the conservative vote in the General election though most of them will vote GOP down ticket for those who did NOT support Romney.

Obama in a landslide. House back to Democrat control. 60 Democrat seats in the Senate.

We promise.

This party will be cleansed, one way or another.

Domino effect of communism is now falling accross the GOP establishment landscape.

Watch them start cursing at us like retarded demoncraps.

Liberalism is a mental disorder which can be contagious and fundamentalized on the most retarded Judicial laziness and stuck on stupid precedents.
