It Looks Like We’ve Discovered Gloria Allred’s Romney-Bashing October Surprise
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/21/12 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/21/2012 12:33:51 PM PDT by Nachum

On Friday Drudge teased that far left sensationalist Gloria Allred was about to drop a bomb on the Romney Campaign.

Allred has a reputation of dragging perceived female victims in front of the camera as props to bash Republican candidates. In October 2010 Allred dragged out illegal alien Nicki Diaz to attack heartless Meg Whitman. Minaj was upset Whitman didn’t buy her child a present and claimed Meg took advantage of her despite the fact she made a good wage. In November 2011 she dragged out Sharon Bialek who accused Herman Cain of sexual abuse.

So it is likely this year’s October surprise is Carrel Hilton Sheldon, a former Mormon.

The book Horror Stories: Mitt Romney’s Shameful Record with Mormon Women details Mitt Romney’s “psychological intimidation and bullying” during his role as a Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The report describes how Romney “tried to bully” Carrel Hilton Sheldon when she was suffering through a difficult pregnancy into not having an abortion. AlterNet reported:

A far more ominous tale in the Romney canon also took place that summer, one that has been largely swept under the rug as the former governor of Massachusetts challenges incumbent Barack Obama for the presidency. There have been no songs written about it, no cartoons, no gags on late-night television, no magazine covers.

It was in August of that year, shortly after the Romney family returned from their vacation to Lake Huron, that a pregnant woman in her late 30s—Carrel Hilton Sheldon—was informed

JediJones ?

Wonder if you can photoshop another picture with Gloria Allred with Miss Piggy but make it larger ?


Courtesy call to Matt Drudge.. please Matt Drudge ? pick up the phone !

Dear God ? please... please inspire Matt Drudge pre-empt Gloria Allred and the rest of the main stream media by posting a large picture of Gloria Allred and Miss Piggy claiming that Romney bullied, forced, and told Miss Piggy that she needed to eat less and stop being a pig....

Headlines: Will Gloira Allred stoop any lower than to have Miss Piggy come out and claim that Romney bullied, forced , and told Miss Piggy to stop being such a PIG and eat less ?

I have, numerous times. You prefer to keep posting misinformation that serves your agenda better than the truth does.

I Googled this and couldn't find anything definitive. However, for any vote Romney loses from this story he is likely to gain another vote of a pro-life person who may have doubted Romney's personal position on abortion.

That site’s post is a load of crappyity-crap-crap. Note it was posted the day after the Univision interview and says that the story could be out as early as “tomorrow.” Well, “tomorrow” was several weeks ago...

That’s a list of overdose symptoms not potential ultimate damage from overdose.

Post 40 appears to indicate a maid is going to allege an affair or something similar, so that could be the October surprise as well.

Ultimately, I hope these are all wrong as so often the rumors about anti-Obama leaks were.

This guy is squeaky clean.

But, even if untrue, it will drop him in the polls by a few points.

To be honest, I am finding the October surprise disgusting, and I don’t care who does it.

If there is something legitimately wrong about that person, release it in August before the conventions so a fair race can be run against somebody else.

Dropping lies in October is flat despicable no matter which side does it.

I hope both of these are not the supposed surprises and none will come.

You are totally lying and even my pro-Romney critics know it, you have never pointed out a lie that I have ever posted, because I have never posted one.

You called post 145 lying, point it out.

Has the powerful Mormon leader ever recommended abortion of a Mormon baby, not that we know of, is he pro-life for gentiles?

Romney was never pro-life, and didn’t pretend to be until he started campaigning for the presidency.

“”“I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country; I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate,””” Romney said

“”“My position has been the same throughout my political career, and it goes back to the days of 1970,” he said. “There was a woman who was running for political office, U.S. Senate. She took a very bold and courageous stand in 1970, and that was in a conservative state. That was that a woman should have the right to make her own choice as to whether or not to have an abortion. Her name was Lenore Romney, she was my mom. Even though she lost, she established a record of courage in that regard.”””

The Mrs read most of it to me. Frankly, it sounds made up. I don’t think either of them have a clue who Bloom’s father is or was.

"It has been my experience that pastors etc. visit their congregation when they are hospitilized."

The priest at my sister's church (Catholic), came to see her and give her communion, when she was in the hospital, and then when she was moved to hospice care. He also conducted her memorial service, which my sister had specifically asked for.

Don't recall about Cain. So how she getting paid for all the Circus?

She has truly reached the bottom of the barrel of humanity with this one.

What she going to say: Romney put this woman through a lot of misery in advising her NOT to have an abortion? After all these years the woman is still miserable!

I can't make anything work in all this. rofl.

Sounds as if Ms Sheldon either survived the pregnancy or ignored Romney’s advice and killed the infant. Either way, it seems that he did not deny any treatment from her. I’m not sure what the big deal is. If this is the worst they can find... Mitt advocating his beliefs... they don’t have much.

I just had a flash in my head of an SNL skit where someone has to be the guy to go in for the first “you’re moving” meeting.

Boy...I would not want to be that guy.

I wonder what the anti-Romney freepers will say about this.

I am absolutely against Romney. His record stands against him, and because of it, I will never vote for him. However, this story does lend credence to his declaration of being personally Pro-Life, which due to his pro-choice record, I had never believed.

But many liberals assuage their conscience with this despicable sort of demarcation - Being personally Pro-Life, but actively promoting pro-choice positions publicly. I find this to be even more abhorrent than someone who is completely pro-choice, as the personal conviction should be guiding the public action.

And even if his record was spotless wrt Life (which, admittedly is the primary priority in my judgement of candidates), there is an endless list of other liberal positions which are wholly insurmountable... As the Romney Truth File hereon will demonstrate adequately.

What is astonishing to me is how so many freepers can throw principle to the wind and not only vote for him, but pimp for him like he is something that he ain't. It is shameful.

'Throwing one's vote away' would be defined by voting for someone who does not meet whatever criteria one uses. If you would be so kind as to investigate the intention of the founding fathers, you will find it has always been so.

My criteria is defined almost perfectly by Reagan Conservatism.

Obama certainly doesn't come close to meeting that criteria.

And neither does Romney.

I didn’t see anything at the link that mentioned anything about the maid alleging an affair or something similar. It says “interaction,” which could be anything. Earlier in the year, there were stories from the left about the salaries of the maids who worked for the Romney’s in 2010. They were lambasting Anne Romney about having hired help. No mention about her suffering from MS though of course. Do a search for Romney maid and read them for yourself.

The way I read this, it sounds like the women’s life was threatened by the effects of the heparin overdose, not because of the baby. Perhaps the clot broke up into little clots and went to her kidneys and damaged them.

I just might take your advice. But then you wouldn't have my vote down-ticket, where I intend to apply that same criteria... Wherein I will be voting for Rehberg (and therefore against Tester) for senate, as an instance.

Are you sure that's what you want?
