Secret Service Denies Romney Security Sweep
Roll Call ^ | August 28, 2008, 4:07 p.m. | By David M. Drucker

Posted on 08/28/2008 4:31:51 PM PDT by Perdogg

The Secret Service is denying that it conducted a security sweep of the Michigan home belonging to the sister of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R).

Roll Call earlier reported that the sweep took place, suggesting that it might be an indication that Romney was in line to be selected as Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) vice presidential running mate.

Come on!

No one is saying he can’t change his mind! But are we just supposed to swallow all his changes and not question them?

There is such a thing as changing for political reasons!

In fact, in Romney’s PowerPoint on how to win the election it said the voters are not where the candidate is so the candidate will have to move toward the voters.

So don’t give us the BS that we are against people changing their minds! I am all for it. But that doesn’t mean I have to believe everything they say!

Forever is a long time. Mitt has only been conservative for about 15 months now.

I thought Pawlenty has canceled all of his appointments for the forseeable future.

This may be a sign.

Nope. Four years of McCain / Romney. I think McCain will decide not to run again but I could be wrong. Thats why its probably likely Romney gets it in 2012. The dems are in la la land putting forward extremists. Unless they steal enough votes I don’t see Obama winning. Which VP a Presidential candidate picks as a VP is fairly irrelevant to the election results anyway as most of us know.

Romney was one of the few republican candidates who laid it on the line and denounce the open borders stupidity

Yes he did denouce it. When the political wind blew that way. Way at the end of his term.

So Mitt there are greener pastures for ye

That is where the illegals were, on his green front lawn.

I was wondering about that. With the information age, it’s getting harder to keep secrets.

I stand by my words. Mitt-haters are obnoxious jerks. Nobody said you can’t be a little skeptical, but some folks will NEVER give him a chance to change. That’s who I’m talking about. When it becomes your sick twisted obsession to spam every thread with platitudes about how EVILLLLLLL “Willard” is, then there is a problem. He may be a lying snake, but when it changes from “we have reason to doubt him, and I just can’t believe what he says” to outright calling a fellow Republican a liar and phony, you’ve stepped over the line. Mitt hasn’t given evidence of being phony in his conversion to Conservatism. But that doesn’t matter. Folks will throw stones anyway.

I am perfectly willing to give him another look in 4 or 8 years.

But he has a history, and not a good one. YouTube is what destroyed his chances.

“That is where the illegals were, on his green front lawn.”

For goodness sake, I’d heard better complaints about Romney than that. If he tried to card every suspicious worker that a job agency sent his way, Romney would have been called a racist.

If you really want to nail him, I think that ‘fake badge’ scandal was better.

I think you may be right about McCain not seeking reelection in 2012. That is why I believe it would be far better for him to pick Palin. Then the GOP would be positioned well to put the first woman in the oval ofice. Palin, as a sitting VP, would make a much more attractive candidate than Hillary will and there is a pretty good chance that if Obama loses this time around, Clinton will get the nod for the next run.

That’s reasonable. Though it is unreasonble to pile on to what You Tube put out there. People can change, and if we aren’t willing to let them we will be left behind.
