Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt: Tired of This Filth?

I don't know about you guys, but I am getting a little tired of the filth and dirty tricks of the Brownback campaign. It seems to never end.

Now we have this from Cyclone Conservative in Iowa:

Tonight, I listened to a message on my parents' answering machine that literally made my jaw drop. Senator Sam Brownback's campaign is calling supporters of Bob Vander Plaats' gubernatorial bids and asking them to support Senator Sam at the Straw Poll.

If you know anything about this race in Iowa, you know that Bob Vander Plaats is the State Chairman for Huckabee's campaign, which is one of Brownback's chief rivals in this campaign.

This is a very misleading phone call.

The girl who left the message on my parents' machine said her name and then thanked us for our support of Bob's bid in 2006. She then said that because of that, we should then support Brownback at the Straw Poll as he is pro-life and in favor of the Flat Tax. Obviously, Huckabee is a staunch supporter of the Fair Tax and not the Flat Tax.

She then urges my family to come and enjoy some good bbq and Christian bands at the Straw Poll in Ames next weekend.

I'm wondering when the Huckabee campaign will respond to this. My parents knew enough to know where Bob stood in this race, but there are thousands of Bob supporters around the state that may not know of Bob's position in the Huckabee campaign.

Sam, can you please stop all the frontal and backhanded attacks? Other than your supporters, no one likes it. You have some good things to run on: Third World help, Flat Tax, the unborn, etc. If you can be personally compelling you should be able to do well without attacking all those with whom you compete. At this rate, should you win, you will have no friends to support you, and will face the undaunting task of wooing moderates and centrist democrats on your own.

From one Conservative GOP'er to another, Sam, clean up the filth in your campaign. Start running a decent and honest fight you promised:

"We are looking forward to running a strong issue-based, positive campaign."

	10 Comments: What is it going to take to show Brownback next week that his horrible campaign has no future? What ever it is, I hope he gets that message at the Straw Poll this Saturday. He's the only candidate in the field that I have developed a very strong personal distaste for. And he'll drag our party down the longer he's in the picture. By Anonymous, at August 6, 2007 at 9:16 AM talking abt. morals ?? Brownback's chair in Linn County is " full of ego " . She shows her affection infront of the public to her co chair who is also married. I am getting tired of it. This woman acts like she is available. They should look at the people that represents them. I am tired of them , but will ride on their bus and vote for Mitt. I will tell my friends too. By Anonymous, at August 6, 2007 at 9:33 AM Please don't ride on their bus if doing so obligates you to vote for Sam. This is something the Ron Paul folks have been advocating--ride Mitt's bus and vote RP. It's really a dishonest thing to do. It's a bad idea to bet on the ends justifying the means. By Slick-Willy, at August 6, 2007 at 12:06 PM Can someone from camp Romney set me straight? Why is Brownback a desperate bottom feeder when he points out things that Romney has said and done in the past couple years. But Romney is somehow immune when he calls Giuliani pro-gay marriage? The latter isn't even true. When do I get to hear Romney appologize to Rudy for being a desperate bottom feeder? By The Dude, at August 6, 2007 at 11:08 PM To The Dud -- Brownback is talking about PAST tense things as if they are PRESENT tense. Is is a LIE and YOU and BROWNBACK know it. -- Talking about FACTS is fair game, making stuff up or distorting the truth is bottom feeding. --- And Dud, one more thing...Sam Brownback has ZERO chance of being President so the nasty and negative vibe he brings to campaign only helps the Democrats. By Anonymous, at August 7, 2007 at 9:11 AM Time to call Giuliani a bottom feeder? from abcnews.com Romney Camp Can’t Back Up Claim When contacted by ABC News, the Romney campaign was not able to provide substantiation for the governor’s claim that Giuliani is “pro-gay marriage”. “It is sad,” a source close to the Giuliani campaign told ABC News, “but unfortunately not surprising, that Mitt Romney’s flailing campaign has chosen to misrepresent Rudy’s positions. He can’t keep his own positions straight let alone Rudy’s.” haha.. "can't keep his own positions straight" good one.. By The Dude, at August 7, 2007 at 10:45 AM Read the facts for yourself--- ------------ "Immigration politics have similarly harmed New York. Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani sued all the way up to the Supreme Court to defend the city’s sanctuary policy against a 1996 federal law decreeing that cities could not prohibit their employees from cooperating with the INS. Oh yeah? said Giuliani; just watch me. ---- -----http://www.city-journal.org/html/14_1_the_illegal_alien.html ---- - Also-- Under his control, the New York City Corp. lost a lawsuit against the federal government over Republican-crafted welfare reform legislation that required state and local authorities to report illegal aliens to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. ---- --- http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20682 By Anonymous, at August 7, 2007 at 12:25 PM All you have to do is Google "new York Sanctuary City" and see what you get. ---- By Anonymous, at August 7, 2007 at 12:29 PM The Sanctuary City comments above where meant for a different forum. ---- About the gay marriage thing I think there is amble evidence Rudi supports it. -- He signed a very generous civil union while Mayor to "take care of the imbalance" for gay couples. --- 7 March 2004 - Rudi came out against President Bush for his suggestion there be a BAN on gay marriage. ---- Why would he be against a BAN on Gay Marriage unles he is FOR gay marriage? By Anonymous, at August 7, 2007 at 5:28 PM GeorgiaMom- Way to take our resident McCain troller (The Dude) to task on this one. Anyone claiming Rudy is not pro-gay marriage is a liar or an ignoramus. Distinguishing civil unions (that give all marital beneifits) from marriage is semantics, not substance. The reason Romney didn't give evidence of his statement about Rudy's support for gay marriage is because he didn't want to roll around in the negative filth w/which Brownback is so comfortable. Similarly, he backed away from a statement that George W was once pro-choice (which is true). Although evidence exists (several newspaper articles from the 1970s), he prefers to believe the candidate or President and not get tangled up in negativity. Brownback, on the other hand, takes 2005 statements from Planned Parenthood, which refer to a 2002 statement from Romney and portray it as a view Romney held in 2005. Or, clip a 10 second snippet where Romney says he will maintain the "status quo" in MA in 2005 from a speach where Romney explains that he will veto any bill not favoring life. Brownback's tactics are clearly deceptive, but he sticks by them. He loves the mud. By Slick-Willy, at August 9, 2007 at 1:59 PM Post a Comment
