Mitt's new don't-ask-don't-tell

"On the other hand if we're running for president, I think it's important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it's ok for them."
-Mitt
etc.

Yeah, Mitt. Quick followup: What about young adults who have already partaken in these such 'indiscretions'? What about forgiveness? What about openness? What about redemption?

My My Was Romney One Unpopular Guy!

Mitt Romney:


Mike Huckabee:

PushPollGate


In the wake of allll this confusion surrounding Mitt Romney and his campaign's reaction to this push polling going on I have decided to take action. I've done the only sensible thing I can do: Create a virtual tombstone.

Is McCain the GOP's last hope on Iraq?

You cant get more anti-Iraq war than Andrew Sullivan. So when he says "Only one Republican [McCain] can end this war with honour" you gotta pay attention.

This would be a good question for John McCain. He was one of the very few Republicans to pull off a national security hat-trick: he supported the war in Iraq, he subsequently became a ferocious critic of the feckless occupation, and then full-throatedly backed the “surge”. There aren’t many people on the national scene who did all three.

more...

Well spoken. Is the implication that some Democrats pull off this hat-trick? General Anthony Zinni?

McCain's integrity strikes again

Notice anything different from the screenshot I luckily took last night?

Before:

Sad... you would expect better from him.


After:
Sad... you would expect better from those who support him.


McCain's character yet again comes through in spades. McCain is asking the NH attorney general to investigate this matter and you lecture McCain about his need to distance himself from this?

Romney deserves people like you and Paul Weyrich.

UPDATE 1:
Mitt Romney himself blames McCain (albeit indirectly) for this push polling!

What a disingenuous hypocrite to pretend this stuff didn't go on before McCain-Feingold.

UPDATE 2:
Politico's quote from the McCain camp sums it up nicely:

McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker responds to Romney's charge:

"It is appalling, but not surprising, that Mitt Romney would seek to take advantage of this disturbing incident to launch yet another hypocritical attack. It’s the hallmark of his campaign."

"Back when Romney was calling for taxing campaign contributions and banning PACs, and before McCain-Feingold was passed, push polling was, regrettably, alive and well in American politics. Anyone who spent a day in South Carolina in 2000 knows that."


Update 3:
Now I've heard just about everything. Hotair.com is now saying the polling agency that made these calls has donated thousands to Romney's campaign?

Update 4:
I'm glad I sunk my teeth into this one. Everyone knows a blogger's signature moment came over 3 years ago with Dan Rather's memogate, which it so turns out I addressed. GraniteGrok.com is having a field day with this too.

Townhall lies for Romney



McCain detractors are very displeased that he'd call for due process for prisoners in Gitmo. Is it any coincidence they also double as judge, jury, and executioner? Let's mozzy on over to that link this Kevin McCullough character provided shall we? We already know the Romney camp has attracted one character assassin in Paul Weyrich who Anita Hilled John Tower and trafficked in allocations that McCain committed treason while a P.O.W. in Vietnam. Could Kevin be another such character assassin? Time will tell...

But I digress, let's dissect Kev's 'proof', of McCain's religious bigotry shall we?

McCain's campaign, which has fielded calls into their Iowa headquarters complaining of similar such calls, emphatically denies responsibility.

"Senator McCain strongly rejects this style of campaigning and we have absolutely no involvement whatsover," said Jon Seaton, McCain's top aide in Iowa.


Nice Proof Kev!

We all know the dirty tactics the Romney camp employs.

Hugh Hewitt and Mitt Romney

Pop Quiz: You're Hugh Hewitt. You stay up late at night struggling to answer the question "Can Mitt Romney make a rock so big that he cannot move it?" You dismantle opponents by saying Romney's new-found love affair with the conservative right is so much more appealing than the conservative records that Thompson and McCain bring to the table. Then Mike Huckabee becomes the new darling of the conservative right. What do you do? Why you attack him from the left of course.

But wait! Huckabee is a committed conservative righty. He didn't need to administer any blatant flip-flops to get there. People actually *ghasp* trust him. What do you do? Panic? No! You're Hugh Hewitt. The answer is easy: You attack Huckabee by telling voters that voting for Huckabee is the most liberal vote a Republican can ever think to make without actually crossing party lines.

Way to go Hugh. Now you can go back to contemplating another question: How many Mitt Romney's can dance on the head of a pin.

Endorsements Galore

So McCain didn't nab the most headlines with his religious conservative endorsement, but at least he got a public servant.
