Well, it is both but it started with Team Romney. They started the attacks as early as the convention. It wasn’t until later on that Team Rove saw it as an avenue to also clear the path for Jeb.
Team Romney? or is it Team Rove/Bush?
With the primary season in full swing and the HBO movie coming out, we have gotten a very clear view of how each candidate conducts their campaigns. There is only ONE candidate who has a clear MO of nasty, dishonest attacks and rumors using a tactic that overwhelms their opponents to not just have the political lead but to actually destroy the person.
That candidate is Mitt Romney. He used his trademark MO on Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and there is evidence that he was behind the Cain attacks but his biggest smear campaign for the past 3 years has been against Gov. Palin.
So let’s explore the facts on whether Romney and his staff were really behind the Palin rumors or whether that was just an urban legend as some Rombots like to claim.

We have Mark Halperin who wrote Game Change. He was also one of the first to report in Time that it was Romney staffers behind the leaks and now he seems best friends with Wallace and Schmidt. Hmmmmmm…. I think when Mark Halperin himself says that it is Romney staffers that are his sources behind the smears and he is the one leading the charge in spreading the attacks and gossip via print and his Game Change book/movie… that should tell us all something.
American Spectator reported this:
“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 only reason why I hate Romney. Not for his RINO moderate viewpoints. But for the smear tactics his handlers used for 3 years to blunt a Palin run.
Everywhere in comments, I see the same post from some idiot about Palin rumors. Same cut and pasted text.
Wonder if it’s romney staffers?
He certainly was behind the attempted destruction of Sarah. That Karma will come back and bite him. He also had the help of the establishment GOP and media. They never counted on her being indestructible. I pray that she will jump behind Newt before Tues. He really needs her. We need her.
Yep. Wallace is a big culprit. And I’m surprised Hannity gave her the forum so prominently... for so long. She no longer appears regularly.
Sorry for the double posts.
This reason is at the top of my list of reasons why I loathe Romney with every fiber of my being.
Most Conservatives still are not aware of Mitts scorched Earth campaign that began in Mid Sept 2008.
The vile, power-hungry, no principled Mitt had his underlings do all the dirty work these past three years.
Mitt has a lust for the office not because he wants to turn our Republic towards Liberty. Mitt lusts after the highest office in the land in order to feed his arrogant and loathsome ego.
It is astounding that any Constitutional Conservative would ever consider voting for that evil, corrupt, and unprincipled fraud named Mitt.
I still believe that soon he will be losing most states in a big way.
This is how the Establishment operates.
Mark Wallace works for the Romney compaign.
