Team Romney: "It's Time to Vet the President"
Townhall.com ^ | July 18, 2012 | Guy Benson

Between yesterday's fantastic speech and this BuzzFeed report, is the Romney campaign finally immersing itself in the 2012 bare-knuckles brawl? Pow:

In speeches from Des Moines to Dallas, Romney has always been careful to hedge his tough digs at Obama with a civil nod toward the president's moral character: "He's a nice guy," the Republican has often said. "He just has no idea how the private economy works." But Tuesday's speech included no such hedge — and one campaign adviser said there's a reason for that. "[Romney] has said Obama's a nice fellow, he's just in over his head," the adviser said. "But I think the governor himself believes this latest round of attacks that have impugned his integrity and accused him of being a felon go so far beyond that pale that he's really disappointed. He believes it's time to vet the president. He really hasn't been vetted; McCain didn't do it." Indeed, facing what the candidate and his aides believe to be a series of surprisingly ruthless, unfounded, and unfair attacks from the Obama campaign on Romney's finances and business record, the Republican's campaign is now prepared to go eye for an eye in an intense, no-holds-barred act of political reprisal, said two Romney advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In the next chapter of Boston's pushback — which began last week when they began labeling Obama a "liar" — very little will be off-limits, from the president's youthful drug habit, to his ties to disgraced Chicago politicians.

His socialist anti american rear end has already been vetted. It’s time those in charge took their heads out of their rear ends and acknowledged what has been unfolding for years.
1) Eligibility is a total scam. SS Card, Drafts Card, Birth Certificate,
2) He is a flat out commie. All his regimes zsar appointees are commies.
3) He won’t release his college transscripts because it most likely will show he was a foreign student receiving monies to study.

He can does this indirectly

If Romney goes birther his message will get lost in the media frenzy. There is so much else he can clobber Bobo with that there is no need to embrace the Tar Baby.

“It’s time to vet the president.”

I think there have been years of opportunity to vet the president.

Truth of the matter is that it’s time for my vet to be President...
At least he knows which end of the horse he’s working with.

well he is still talking about it.....and backing down maybe... maybe not!..I think the MSM thinks that built a "Trump's a kook box!" around him. We shall see !....All that is necessary is to keep controversy going and keep the story out there (Keep pushing to drive it to the main stream!) that there is “..something wrong with Zero's documentation..”. That “unease” which is already there bleeds away votes from the mushy headed independents. “The Donald” is a lot of bluster that's obvious, the statement that he had “people looking into the problem” probably was BS. “His people” if he actually had any had no legal authority, however what's different here is “the good sheriff” does! Anyone “The Donald” would hire wouldn't have the weight of “legal authority” that Arpaio’s current crew have. Now it's limited only has authority in Maricopa County some reach into the general Arizona system. It's a start with firmer footing then has been tried before.

Also I am not going to get into a “I heard..” conspiracy theory discussion.

I am not a fan of “The Donald” by any means even less of a fan of Romney.

Don’t blame you. My post was born out of my 10 years in Chicago political landscape. I am 99% certain someone in the Trump Empire heard the type of discussion I related. The equivalent of

“nice towah ya gots deahr. Be a shame if sumpin was to happen to it. Who’s yer alderman?”

Yes it has. But unfortunately, only by a small fraction of the electorate. And never by a GOP POTUS candidate ...

"We have nothing to fear with Barack 0bama in the White House."

> Then let’s hear him mention Arpaiso’s news conference yesterday.

And ask for his college and high school transcripts.

If 0bama has nothing to hide, and if he’s such a genius, then he should have a sterling academic record, one in which he can take great pride.

So, where are the school records?

What about his master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation?

Where did the money for his Ivy League education come from?

Where is the real birth certificate?

What about the draft card?

What about the Social Security number?

What did he ever do for work, beside being a “community organizer”, which is just a euphemism for “cadre for the commissariat”?

If we’re finally going to vet him, then LET’S DO IT FOR REAL!!

How about Barry’s sealed records, suspended law license and hokey pokey birth certificate? So much corruption so little time.

” - - - two Romney advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity.”

Cowards!

Hey Romney, get rid of your empty suit advisors and hire a lot of Joe the Plumbers!

If you can’t Campaign as if the lifeblood of America depended on it, then just get out of the way!

Trump was all over it on Hannity radio today. Hannity kept trying to change the subject but Trump went full speed ahead.
