MSNBC's Wolffe Lumps Romney With John Edwards: 'Moral Questions' About Fitness For Office
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/03/2012 4:37:45 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In one of the uglier MSM smears of the presidential campaign to date, MSNBC's Richard Wolffe has tried to tie Mitt Romney with one of America's most reviled men: John Edwards.

Appearing on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this afternoon, Wolffe somehow suggested that Romney's decision to invest overseas and legally trim his federal tax bill was akin to Edwards reprehensible behavior. According to Wolffe, there is a "moral question" hanging over Romney, just as there was regarding Edwards.

Once again, when the LOSER RINO Mitt Romney should be
speaking out DEFENDING AMERICA, the coward is in hiding
being protected.

FAST AND FURIOUS - Romney protects Obama.
Supreme Court - Romney protects Obama.

Romney demands to be Protected because of BAIN.
Romney demands to be Protected because he is a Mormon.
Romney demands to be Protected becausehe is a coward.
Romney demands to be Protected because he invented death panels.

WHEN WILL ROMNEY EITHER SPEAK UP ... OR PULL OUT.

I wish I had a Swiss bank account. Anyways we should ask the DogEater-In-Chief about morality. Bring in Larry Sinclair as a backup witness. Besides tax avoidance is not illegal.

The state of politics in this country is so pathetic. I don’t know how people like Wolffe sleep at night while devoting themselves to such laughable dishonesty. How did we get to the point where these people are taken seriously?

If I was ever elected President, the first legislative effort I would push for is a Truth In Advertising Law for News Organizations.

An organization such as MSNBC would have to change their name to Communist Advocacy Propaganda Group Totally At The Beck And Call Of The Democrat Party.

So a guy who grew up in Indonesia eating dog meat, with communist parents, then spending 20 years in Rev Wright’s church, while palling around with Bill Ayers - is trying make Romney the “other.”

Romney is not going to pull out. Your delusions appear on almost every thread I read. If you wanted to keep Romney from becoming the nominee you should have worked harder during the Primary season.

The problem with us conservatives is we vet for total purity. When the race first started Newt was totally not an option until he was the only guy standing against Mitt. Everyone was split (Bachman, Palin, Perry, Cain etc.)on who was the most pure.Like it or not Romney is left standing. Vote for him, vote for Obama, vote for someone else or don't vote for anyone. Those are your options. Romney is the GOP nominee.

I despise Mitt and am only going to vote for him because he beats the alternative, but comparing him to Shiny Pony is beyond ludicrous.

First, Mr. RomneyCARE cheated and changed rules nunc pro tunc
and used the media to STEAL (e.g. Iowa) what he presumes
will be the GOP nomination.

Mr. RomneyCARE is a backstabbing cheat.

Second, he is THE FIGUREHEAD of DEATH PANELS.

Mr. RomneyCARE should pull out and be A MAN for a change.

With his tranny nanny and his sex-creep "mentor," Obama's entire life has been a festival of perversion and wierdness.

He couldn't find "normal" on a map.

I wonder if there is a line that the average media moron (re-
porter, “journalist”, etc) will not cross in order to advance
liberal causes and liberal politicians. Personally, I have
always believed it is important to be as consistent as
possible in dealings with others. If what Romney does
with his own money is a big concern then why is it no
concern what John Kerry or some other wealthy Dem
does with his? Or, if what alledgedly happened to CIA
agent Plame’s “secret” cover was of momentous con-
cern then what of ATF agent Terry’s life? I guess I am
just another naive American.

“The problem with us conservatives is we vet for total purity”

We have a lot of problems, but the biggest one is that we allow the Commie media to pick our man, or at least tell us who is not qualified, or disqualified.
