‘Anonymous Numbskulls’ – Romney Calls for Cease-Fire with Palin
July 16, 2010 1:04 PM
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: How do you end a political food fight in 140 characters or less?
A series of delectable, anonymous quotes were forming an early front in the battle for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination – until former Gov. Mitt Romney took to Twitter today to put a stop to it.
The fun began when a pair of Romney intimates sounded off – without their names attached --about former Gov. Sarah Palin:
“She's not a serious human being,” one Romney adviser told Time’s Mark Halperin. Said a “Romney intimate”: “If she's standing up there in a debate and the answers are more than 15 seconds long, she's in trouble.”
Aides to Palin followed suit – anonymously, of course.
“It shocks me that anyone would try to do that,” a Palin aide told Politico’s Andy Barr. “Those who try to claim the mantle of Reagan would be good to follow one of his most sacred tenets. … For Washington consultants to sit around and personally disparage the Governor anonymously to reporters is unfortunate and counterproductive and frankly immature.”

Romney can’t control his staffers...but wants to run the country?
Children? Eh, the Romney’s have five sons and not a day of military service between them. The Palins son, well you know the story, enough said.
Look who is waving a white flag ...
Forget it. Time to drive a stake through this unholy Socialist vampire’s campaign.
Romney has intimates? Who knew?
She'll make him look like little misspoken Joey Biden (who, during the debate with Palin, cited at least a dozen "facts" which were completely made-up! Like when he actually claimed to "...remember when we kicked Hezbollah and Hamas out of Lebanon." We never kicked Hezbollah/Hamas out of Lebanon... he meant when we forced Syria to leave Lebanon, and the Dims had nothing to do with it. So much for O'Bunga's self-claimed "international affairs mentor").
Sarah's been schoolin' in the years since, gearing up for the coming fray. I can't effing wait. Apparently, neither can the Romney-bots.

Scott Brown is Romney is Scott Brown.
All you need to know.
Stay away from Willard!
who try to claim the mantle of Reagan would be good to follow one of his most sacred tenets.

Ah yes ...
but remember RINO Romney doesnt want to be like President Ronald Reagan...
“I’m not going back to the time of Ronald Reagan” (Williard Mitt Romney, 1994)
Any way the Romneys hated Ronald Reagan...
He was a conservative, they were moderates leaning to the left..
If they aren’t identified by name, you can’t even be sure they were “intimates”, or even “advisors”, just that someone is claiming that they claimed they were. Without names, the claim that they are advisors or intimates is as suspect as the claims they made against Palin.
Funny though how people are willing to trust liars when they say what people want to hear.
You are all missing the point. Myth is trying to have his cake, (intimates attack palin) while he says for them to stop. But it is already out there.
Romney suddenly wants to be NICE?? Better watch your back, Sarah.
I guess the Romney advisor didn't watch Palin handle Biden in that VP debate in 2008. Of course, the media declared Biden the "winner," but we know the truth.
Romney is attempting plausible deniablity.
He undoubtedly told his advisros to attempt to slime Palin.
If you don't have common courtesy, and you are too cowardly to put your name to your statement, then S T F U !!!!
And what evidence do you have that Rick Klein is lying about this?
I wouldn't call them liars.
Sneaky, gutless cowards is my preference.
So now you take the word of Mark Halperin(!) of TIME(!) about an un-named source(!).....well, I guess if it fits your agenda...
