From http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/01/17/semantics/ :
Romney specifically said “I don’t have lobbyists that are TIED to my –” before being interrupted. Obviously the missing word is “campaign.”
Romney then admitted that Ron Kaufman is TIED to his campaign by when he acknowledged that Kaufman is an “adviser,” and again later when he agreed that Kaufman has been in debate preparation(s).
But then, Romney tried to pretend he only said “running,” when everyone in the room, and now every video viewer, clearly saw him say “tied to.”
AP reporter Johnson is right. He caught Romney red-handed.
AP reporter Johnson made himself the center of attention. Mission accomplished.
BS, AP reproter Johnson is a lobbyist for the left wing in America. Neither he nor you know what the rest of that sentence was going to be.
The author has one thing right though, Romney should have told Johnson to read the First Amendment and kiss his ass rather than arguing with the leftist putz about the influence of the evil lobbysists on the body politic.
This so-called reporter, Johnson, is a worthless piece of human excrement that should be “re-educated” behind the nearest barn. The entire incident wasn’t about what Romney said. It’s about left wing propagandists pretending to be journalists trying to damage a non-left wing candidate.
