Rumor Patrol: Romney Camp Spreading Palin Stories?

07 Nov 2008 06:07 pm

Rumor: Aides and advisers to Mitt Romney are responsible for spreading most of the anti-Palin stories that have been going around; during the campaign, they pressured reporters to look into reports of tension between McCain and Palin factions.

I think you are right. The McCain people decided to save themselves and are taking Sarah and Mitt down as they go. The MSM is fueling the fire to further divide and conquer the GOP. It is the perfect storm.

I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that the McCain higher ups purposefully leaked the negative info on Palin to some lowly ex-Romney person working in Oklahoma in the hopes they could kill two birds with one stone.

The hoax was only a small part of the leaking. The clothes leak at nothing to do with the hoax at all. Rumors of Romney people leaking to Politico and other the media started after Palin was chosen.

Some of you can believe that Romney’s people didn’t do the leaking but others of us from all the other campaigns know better. Surprising what you can find out when you start comparing notes with other campaigns.

Just say NO to ANYONE who ran in the primary in 2008!

And so would I, because these people aren't following Ronald Reagan's example.

Romney is a RINO.

Prochoice and did nothing about gay marriage in Massachusetts and socialist policies.

I am tending to lean toward your conclusion in your post #53. I like both Mitt and Sarah.

Absolutely.. no one from the 08 primary is worthy enough to rebuild the party.

========= THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ==============

Ever wonder why liberal, socialist, fascist politicians chortle in absolute, uncontrollable laughter
at the moment when they take the liberty, rights, or money of their enslaved constituents
without a single vote, except their own, like Romney here imposing socialized medicine (HILLARYcare)?

It’s you Romney people who keep stoking this fire ! Why ?

Romney is trying to buy "plausible deniability" as he bought
henchmen thugs, and tried to buy the White House
but when the American public rejected Romney, he poisoned the GOP
to give the White House to .....

Oh for crying out loud can’t you people be more Machiavellian. This is obviously a smear against Romney. It has all the characteristics of just such a smear. Learn a little bit about deception.

The MSM doing the same to Mitt as they did to Palin.

Anything to keep the 2 best choices out of reach in 2012.

IT WON'T WORK.

Palin/Mitt 2012, any order will do!!

If Mitt is anywhere on the ticket, expect the same result we got this year.

Your lies have been debunked a thousand times. I think we know where you are coming from -- a sampling of your posts:

"Mormons are worse than Muslims because they appear to be “Christians.”"

Dobson was backing a Mormon? Over John McCain? Is he nuts? Or deluded?

I believe Romney’s Mormon cult status is WHY he is a RINO.

only a weird religious Mormon mindset would be so smarmy

Sickening.

That kind of trash talking will just keep us losing elections. We can disagree among ourselves over policy matters without name calling. We could all stand to remember Ronald Reagan’s eleventh commandment.

I'd vote that ticket in a heartbeat! And after an Obama meltdown, a true “fixer” of things that matter, that knows how to lead the country with conservative ideals is just what WILL get people out in droves. People will be begging to vote Obama out.

Mitt/Palin Palin/Mitt Doesn't matter.
