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.

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.
