Emails That Romney Tried to Hide Are Revealed

Once-secret emails from Mitt Romney's time as governor that were revealed today spurred a flurry of comments about the candidate's support for the so-called individual mandate. Yet there's another issue that's been revived: Romney's secrecy.

When Romney left the governor's office in Massachusetts, his staff erased all the emails from a computer server and bought the hard drives used to store data, so that their correspondence would stay hidden.

Or so they thought.

Tom Trimarco, Romney's administration and finance secretary, never deleted his emails. Some of them surfaced today in The Wall Street Journal, which submitted a public information request for emails involving Trimarco and officials in the administration.

The emails show that Romney was neck-deep in negotiations to get his health care bill passed, that he personally wrote op-eds about it, and that he defended the so-called individual mandate to buy health insurance, a provision in President Obama's law that has drawn criticism from Republicans.

On the contrary, the MSM has lied about Romney,
covered up his weaknesses, and holds the facts
in abeyance until October.

I almost set my... chair... on fire when I dropped my cigarette.

I may be a celibate, but I do smoke. Pix like that need a warning.

You'll sooner walk on Mars.

You may be right. I only hope Romney chooses a running mate that makes it easier to hold your food down while voting for him.

[JRandomFreeper]

As soon as the convention is over and Romney has the 'lock', the media slime machine will really spin up. They are chomping at the bit to release a little slime now... but it will start later.

I've been saying it since last November and getting villified for saying it.

Hardly a surprise.

[goseminoles]

Then you are voting for a lying, socialist, Kenyan born, spending, secretive, destructive, give secrets away, golfing, associating with terrorist, extremist, unfit, muslim, occupier, hates the US, inept in economics, never worked a day in his life, mysterious, non-credentialed, narcissist, homo, blue lipped, jug eared, hates his wife, affirmative action, no track record, did I say spending?, ignorant, elitist, racist, ........over a moderate successful pro capitalist businessman? If Freepers don’t hold our nose and vote for Romney, we are screwed. I will send you gas money if need be. And Ron Paul voters can go pound sand. This is a Romney vs Messiah race. Let’s not let this nation go to ruin over your dislike for Romneys views on some issues. Let’s get with reality here...

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm not going to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big government liberal.

Any of them.

[Windflier]

I won't be voting for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big-government liberal. Ever.

I second that.

[funfan]

Funny I was just flipping through my TV stations and on Cnn they had a reporter just saying that Romneys emailed had been hacked. I don't know what else the newsreader had to say as I flipped her and the channel off

[JRandomFreeper]

I did LOL at your post. ;)

Apparently, Bill Ayers's book Dreams from My Father did the trick. It read like a novel, and he was so tremendously impressed.

[jonno]

Sure - but can she cook??

[E. Pluribus Unum]

State-controlled media and the Ubama administration CHOSE Rodney to be the GOP candidate because they thought they had so much stuff to throw at him that he would implode.

However you feel about Rodney, you have to admit it's funny to see the statists' plans blow up in their faces.

[goseminoles]

” I did LOL at your post. ;)

I wasn’t trying to invoke Lol. My choices were Cain and Gingrich in that order. This isn’t good. If you are moderately conservativeand love this country, you will vote for he, that does not eat dog, who merely puts Fido on the roof at 65mph, vs one that dines on canine.. oh,,,, the irony.... at least Romney didn’t name his dog Mister(MR)..

[Southnsoul]

Me either, no Romney, ever.

[goseminoles]

“I second that.”

Well then, you are the second fool on this thread. Congratulations!!!

It “read like a novel,” because...

...its Fiction.

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm not going to vote for anyone that is pro-abortion, anti-gun, or a big government liberal.

If that gets me beat up... I'll get beat up.

gos whines to JRF, who refuses to vote for a socialist Republican: Then you are voting for a lying, socialist, Kenyan born, spending, secretive etc., etc.

BULLSH*T.

Refusal to vote for Romney is wholly separated from voting for Obama, and it is sheer emotional fallacy to declare otherwise. You ONLY state such nonsense because you are ANGRY. Period.

Here's the reality: if it's O vs R in the presidential, those who intend to vote will have THREE options.

THREE.

1. Vote for Obama.

2. Vote for Romney.

3. Vote for another "third party" candidate in the presidential race. THIS VOTE WILL BE 100 PERCENT NEUTRAL in influencing whether O or R wins. THAT IS A MATHEMATICAL FACT.

You sound like a crybaby little girl on the playground stomping your foot and declaring that if I don't give you my candy, it's the same as giving it to someone else. Which, of course, is total BS.

You can vote for arsenic, you can vote for cyanide because it's not arsenic, or you can vote to dilute whichever poison wins.

I know how I'm voting, and I know that it isn't the equivalent of "voting for a lying, socialist, Kenyan born" etc. etc. YOU KNOW IT TOO.

I’m pretty sure Mittens resents conservatives. I suspect it roots from his Mormon Missionary days, as Evangelical Christians (whom the Mormons see as the Whore of Babylon) would have been his chiefest opponents.

Take note of how Romney systematically sabotaged Sarah Palin even unto the eve of the election in a bid to get her out or to insure Obama would win for his own future, long term benefit.
