Romney Supporters Trashing Palin

He was exposing the truth... Tell us, wise one, which ad(s) was negative?

You don't comprehend attack ads, especially in primaries because they fracture one's party, are negative ads?

As far as the truth, truth is that Romney had the most liberal record of any of the candidates running and was, by far, the most dishonest.

[NonValueAdded]

I agree with the respect to the Romney aspect of this ... many FReepers are off the rails, arguing factional stuff while Madden's statement hangs there like a fart in church. We need to focus back on what Kevin Madden is saying as Kevin Madden, giving aid and comfort to the enemy as it were. The RATs and undecideds could care less whether he's speaking for anyone else, they're focusing on what he's saying about Sarah. With less than a week to go we don't need ANY Republican talking down our ticket.

And, what was dishonest? Portraying Huckabee as tax raiser when Romney raised tax and fees more per year than Huckabee did and when Huckabee cut taxes far more extensively than Romney ever did.

This is what Mormon’s do.

What is Mormon is do?

I'm beyond words to describe the hate and BS in this thread. Some of you live in the gutter.

Does Amanda Carpenter live in the gutter, too?

If Romney ever hired this guy for anything in the future, I wouldn't support Mitt for dog-catcher. He won't...

Bush gave Powell singificant roles in his administration... Powell turned out to be a disgrace... How many folks here blamed Bush for CP's quisling act?

Message to Romneybots: the same techniques used by the Obama media against Palin would’ve been used against Romney. To an even greater effect.

The guy has flip flopped on so many issues, it would’ve been comical once they put him under the media microscope.

Just one mans opinion.

[NYC Republican]

Look at post #77. Debunks all of this... Yet these folks post this story from YESTERDAY... For the 4th or 5th time (maybe more)... Seriously, the same folks time and again... Tell me it's not an anti-Morm thing. Of course it is...

They have absolutely NO shame.

Back off pretty boy RINO and make way for a true conservative.

[NYC Republican]

anti-Palin RINOs are the ones trying to fracture the GOP even if it hurts the chances of McCain winning

I agree, but if you can find ONE instance of Mitt trashing or bashing Palin, McCain, or the ticket, I'll agree with you... but... you... can't.

I always was suspicious of Romney. Apparently others were too seeing he lost the primary despite having many conservative radio hosts like Ingraham, Levin, Hewitt, an Rush pushing him and despite the fact he had by far the most money and still lost.

The other GOP candidates...all of them...disliked Romney. Now we can see why. He’s a snake.

And as a Massachusetts resident, I have known this longer than most. The man will say anything...emerge into anything...to win.

[NYC Republican]

THESE ARE LIES. THEY'VE BEEN DEBUNKED. LOOK AT POST #77 BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS AND PLAYING INTO THE MSM's HANDS!

[Diogenesis]

Given that Mr. Romney's venal, attacks on GOP candidates are longstanding and many,
have you considered that these attacks on Gov. Palin are nothing more
than Mr. Romney "playing into the MSM's hands"?

Romney is a footnote (if that) in political history. Palin will crush Romney in a Republican primary.

[truthandlife]

As we know, Romney is no Reagan:

Reagan’s “Eleventh Commandment” of GOP politics: “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

[redgirlinabluestate]

Exactly. Mitt is not Madden's keeper.

Do I wish Madden hadn't said it? Absolutely. Maybe Campbell Brown is smarter than Madden since she got him to wander off message.

However, the bottomline is that Mitt has been nothing but supportive of Palin from the start.

First, I know it's obvious, but let's get it straight: Kevin Madden is not Mitt Romney.

Second, Madden didn't say anything harsh or "trash" Palin. If that is trash talk then we've gotten pretty thin-skinned.

As I already said over here, most of what I heard him say, is accurate. Palin is no shrinking violet either. She can handle worse than this, can't she? She'd probably agree with Madden. She's admitted herself she's out of her element and has a lot to learn (and her Washington outsider status is precisely what endears her to us, isn't it?). She should thank him.

Much ado about nothing. MSM/lib attempt to make mountains out of molehills to hurt Mitt and Sarah.... helping Obama.

It's just more fodder for the MSM/libs to use against us to divide and conquer the GOP. Only the naive will fall for it.

[redgirlinabluestate]

No kidding. If Romney is trying to sabotage Palin he sure has a funny way of showing it while he's campaigning/fundraising in one city after another for the ticket. He could be at home with his wife and enjoying his grandkids.

You are right. These baseless smears are pathetic.

[Ol' Sparky]

It's incredibly naive to think Romney's former aids aren't acting on his behalf in hopes he can win the nomination in 2012.

Even if they weren't, it shows the lack of conservative principles Romney has in hiring such aids to begin with.

[NYC Republican]

BINGO! Need to keep our sights on the real enemy... They can bash Mitt all they want a week from today... For now, need to circle the wagons
