Massive opposition research file on Romney hits Internet
http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/18/opposition-file-on-romney-hits-the-internet-likely-from-2008-mccain-campaign/ ^

If you think you’ve already heard everything there is to know about Mitt Romney, think again. A 200-page document that appears to be Sen. John McCain’s entire 2008 election-year opposition research file on the former Massachusetts governor hit the Internet with a vengeance Tuesday evening. And it’s an eye-opener.

The file explores everything from the assessed value of Romney’s house (“$3.162 million”) to his views on the Boy Scouts’ ban of homosexuals (“publicly opposed … in 1994 and 2002 campaigns”). It was made public Tuesday on the social media website Buzzfeed, although it appears to have been accessible online for two months.

The document, given the name “The Romney Book,” was viewed less than 100 times on the page where it was originally uploaded by its anonymous leaker on November 11.

Anybody have contacts at the Gingrich/Santorum campaigns?

This needs to get out now!

Even Rush would be good etc. to help spread awareness.

he will still get the nomination unless Perry backs out and Newt and Rick Shave a talk and one become a VP nominee.

While the conservative vote is split we are screwed.

He can’t even think creatively in his debates

This is a gift, not entirely dependent on intelligence. The ability to debate well is akin to the gift a stand-up comic has, it's a subconscious ability coupled to an outstanding memory.

Newt has it, Clinton also has it. Clinton has photographic memory, I suspect Newt does as well.

Did you read me right? I’m saying he can’t debate for s**! - he says NOTHING! And he’s all jittery when he speaks.

Well, one thing we can agree on is that Mitt is a dick :-)

This is the time for COURAGE! Being despondent and having a defeatist attitude is pointless. Have heart, dig in and fight! If we lose, it won’t be because you didn’t try.

How can you be depressed? This is great timing, Newt is on the rise, Romney is falling!

Ask your friends what do they know about Mitt. I say they know nothing about him.

Can’t your friends see they will use this against Romney so he can never beat barry? It’s those who vote for Romney that will give us barry.

The primary is this Saturday...not much time to get this out. But maybe enough time.

Strange to have a primary on Saturday.

Don’t be discouraged... Clinton won a second term because the economy wasn’t TOO bad, and people liked him. This mess up in there has WRECKED the economy (everybody know it), and NOBODY likes him. He’s in real trouble, even now.

I get the same impression on events happened and events ABOUT to happen from the Captain that showboated a 1000 foot cruise ship upon rocks, and the same that Romney will also out of showboating will run America up on the rocks.

Of course it doesn’t help having Obama trying to sink the ship first by opening all of the portholes.

I appreciate your encouragement. It's frustrating to have to keep persuading good conservative people not to fall for the old "lesser of two evils" and "he's the only one that can win" mentality. This is why things don't change, we keep trying the same thing over & over. I came up with the following graphic when McCain became our candidate in 2008 - unfortunately - it's still appropriate.

Have you seen this 200+ page Opposition Research document on Romney?

It was produced by the McCain campaign in 2008 and is spreading around the internet today.

I have to agree, it is depressing. If people like Herman Cain can drop off the radar over an allegation, then Romney doesn’t stand a chance with this and neither do any of the other (R) candidates. For the first time in my voting life, I really lack hope that a republican can win. There is too much dirt on all of them and the media won’t lay a finger on Obama.

I try to stay as positive as I can, but I think we better start bracing for 4 more years and hope we can at least get the Senate and House.

With a record like his, how in the blankety-blank-blank did this man get within spitting distance of running as a Repub, much less the GOP ‘annointed’ for the nominee? Mitt isn’t even close to a minimal conservative standard. If he is the nominee, we are SO screwed (would like to use another word, but ..... ). Now I fully understand why Obama & his thugs are hoping the opponent is Mitt - they have the ammo to totally eviscerate him.
