VANITY: Possible way for Romney to gain Palin's support [mega baforama!!]

July, 4, 2009 | yongin

[yongin]

Many FReepers are skeptical of Romney's conservative credentials. They don't like his past positions on abortion, healthcare, and gay marriage. They feel his rightward shift on social issues to be less than sincere.

Many conservatives are angered by the Left's attempts to character assassinate Palin thru silly ethics complaints. They have made Palin's administration and family into side shows. The ethics complaints have driven her to be $500,000 in debt.

This situation might provide an opening for Romney to gain Palin's support. Romney could step in to pay off Palin's legal debt. He then could make a speech about how conservatives must unite against the Far Left with Palin giving her endorsement. If Romney does this action, would it make him acceptable to Freepers?

[Vor Lady]

As if....Romney is a socialist. We’ve already got one of those.

[Glenn]

You are an idiot.

[sonrise57]

no.

[Diogenesis]

Will money buy off his dictatorship?
Will money buy off the dead murdered by his incompetance?
Will money buy off those harmed by his RomneyCARE?
Will money buy off his corruption of fake badges and BIGdig coverup?
Will money buy off his other lies, fantasies, and backstabbing?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Almost but not quite as bad an idea as letting George Soros sponsor and taint CPAC.

Money like that has strings attached.

I’d rather we pass the hat here for Sarah.

[cranked]

Time for Palin to switch to being a fiscally conservative Independent....

[exnavy]

If Palin is as smart as I think she is, all things political are on the back burner until this country finishes with the social correction that is about to take place.

That means, when americans wake up and realize what marxist socialism really is, and they(americans) finish hanging politicians from the trees around Washington city, than she and many others will get back into public service.

[Red_Devil 232]

DITTOS!

[yongin]

Another question would be: If Palin does give her endorsement to Romney and campaigns for him in the primary, does this lower your view of Palin?

[Man50D]

Many FReepers are skeptical of Romney's conservative credentials.

Skeptical is an understatement. The last person we need to run for President is someone who supports socialized health care. BO is using Romney's disastrous Massachusetts health care plan as a model for a national health care plan.

[Vaquero]

F*** Romney his magic underwear and his Mass-of-2-$h!t$ leftist ways.....

[KC Burke]

She doesn’t need the money. People like us have already contributed toward retiring that burden of legal cost.

Mitt had better put it in gear trying to defeat Obama socialism because there may be nothing not attacked by Sarah before he gets his big boy pants on in the next thirty days.

I hope she treats him fairly in considering her VP choices.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

After laying low all these months, you’re now trying awful hard to get FR to swallow the Romney horse pill. Forget it.

[1curiousmind]

Don’t assume that Romney isn’t already acceptable to many Freepers. He is.

We’re just bored with fighting the same stupid arguments with the same handful of bitter Romney-bashers.

Time will tell. It’ll be interesting to see what happens between him and Sarah.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL! I’d never seen that one. :)

[The Wizard]

vanity should realize Sarah has her own support, she ain’t backing a nerd.

[don-o]

LOL and ibtz. In case you have not caught on, Mittie is persona non grata around here.

iow we ain’t buying what yer sellin’

Also. Sarah ain’t for sale, you tool.

[Bushbacker1]

Mass-of-2-$h!t$

Very good! And, funny!

[Eddie01]

[hoosiermama]

The Palin’s don't need his money...The advance for the book she is writing has seven figures. She has turned down hundreds of paying speaking opportunities, which she now can honor.

Now she has time to finish the book and get it to the presses faster. Do the book tour, appear on the talk shows etc etc etc.

Sarah has read the tealeaves and she's sitting down at the table to pour.

[LinnKeyes2000]

If that actually happened then I would lose much if not all respect for Sarah and I’d still say Romney is a flopping socialist.
I highly doubt Sarah is bought.

[steve8714]

It’s obscene to start running now. I want conservatives to take back Congress, then let the grassroots orgs sue the admin over any and every executive order Qbama puts out.

[Daisyjane69]

Republicans need Palin more than Palin needs Republicans.

[humblegunner]

If Romney does this action, would it make him acceptable to Freepers?

No.

I for one will not be bought off by Romney.

[capt. norm]

We've already seen Romney's true colors.

I am of the belief that "a leopard can not change his spots".

He's a typical Eastern elitist Rockefeller GOP type... the kind that look down their noses at us conservatives and sigh.

[Daisyjane69]

I don’t think she’ll sell herself off to the highest bidder.

She either extracts some rather serious conservative positions out of the Mitt-ster or no deal.

You just watch.

[bluecollarman]

No, she don’t need it.

[DB]

Here’s a better idea.

Lets pay for her legal fees ourselves.

We have NO hope if we put the RINO Romney ANYWHERE on a Republican ticket....

Sarah is the BEST hope the GOP has to regain the conservative vote; otherwise, she might as well go Third Party, and start it there (this will assure The Messiah a second term, same as Ross Perot's splitting of the Republican vote did for BillyBob).

IF Palin begins now to build the Conservative movement (which I believe she may be doing and resulted in her resigning as Governor), there MAY be enough time (attack the socialism and the associated attack on the economic system) to gain enough support when the welfare-mentality is no longer able to be funded, due to collapse of revenue.

The most difficult task is the State-run Media, which will continue to attempt to discredit her, and hide the facts of the Obamanation's failures from the sheeple.

[section9]

Right.

Mittens steps in with his sewer money to buy-off Palin so he can go to Washington and institute the kind of Bushtard politics that drove conservatism into the ditch and gave the GOP the glorious victories of 2006 and 2008.

Righty-right. Sarah will fall for that one, you betcha!

Best,

Chris

[Eddie01]

You are an idiot.

Idiot BUMP

I hate these cat toy posts.

[Vaquero]

the original Mass-of-2-$h!t$:

[traditional1]

"handful of bitter Romney-bashers"

Those "bitter Romney-bashers" are the ones who are damned tired of phoney RINO's, who are POLITITCIANS FIRST; with conservative values nowhere to be found in their history.....

Get a grip.

[Diogenesis]

"Don’t assume that Romney isn’t already acceptable to many Freepers. He is."

As a shapeshifter, Romney's claimed plans each have a duty cycle of 10% - 30% for times of a few months.

[bigbob]

already wasted my last vote on a RINO just because Palin was on the ticket. Now I want the Real Deal.

[niteowl77]

Don’t assume that Romney isn’t already acceptable to many Freepers. He is.

For me, he WAS (past tense) acceptable. He and his acolytes cured me of that.

In fairness, I will say that Romney probably would have at least acted like he actually wanted to win, had he gotten the nomination in '08.

Mr. niteowl77

[gunnyg]

Yeh, I can see R doing that—but, hopefully. I have Lady Sarah pegged differently. Not all native-borns are “different.”

[commish]

Get it through you head please, no matter how much money he spends to buy people off - We will NEVER SUPPORT the Grecian Formula wearing faux-conservative LIBERAL SOCIALIST used-car salesman from TAXachusetts.

Capiche?

[MizSterious]

Yes, it would. I don’t like, and don’t trust (given his record in MA) Romney. The Republicans tried moving left with the McCain nomination. That didn’t work out all that well, did it? Conservatives and Republicans are not looking for Obama Light. They’re looking for principled conservative values and policies.

[browniexyz]

who cares about Romney? He’s a troll and he has to GO NOW. He’s no conservative and we don’t need the Ken doll!

[pointsal]

Thank you for pointing this out....no more Mittster.

[mo]

If Romney really wants to serve the country....he can depart the national scene. He brings little to it other than reminders of the compromises that brought the Republican party to where it is today.

[browniexyz]

you betcha

[Diogenesis]

"In fairness, I will say that Romney probably would have at least acted like
he actually wanted to win, had he gotten the nomination in '08."

In fairness, if Romney was decent, human, and honest, he would have let McCain-Palin win.

But Romney would not let that happen. How is Romney's throwing of Election2008 working out for you?

Willard Brutus Romney

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]

[babygene]

” If Romney does this action, would it make him acceptable to Freepers?’

So... You think if she sold her principals for hard cash, her base would follow her? What an insane idea...

[all the best]

Can he buy our support? For only $500,000? To Sarah Palin?
I wouldn’t see my soul for that much paid directly to me.
If Hillary paid, would you then support her?

[1curiousmind]

ah...the memories...the summer of ‘08...oh to be that young again...

i gotta hand it to you. you make up for in photoshop what your arguments lack in substance.

a special request...how about one with Mitt sporting some magical Mormon underwear?

[MizSterious]

"Republicans need Palin more than Palin needs Republicans."

Exactly.
