Next week in DC is the Republican National Lawyers Association Conference, should be a good event. According to Jonathan Martin at The Politico “The Big Three” all have events planned for their own Lawyer groups.

Lawyers for Rudy:

Rudy is hosting a free event at the Willard Continetal Hotel. The group is being hosted (and I assume led) by former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a huge supporter of Rudy’s.

Lawyers for McCain

Surprisingly the Straight Talk Express will hold its Lawyers for McCain event at the law offices of Greenberg Traurig. Recognize the name? McCain does from his Abramoff Investigations:
In one case, Abramoff and partner Michael Scanlon hired a former lifeguard, David Grosh, to head a group billed as an international think tank — the American International Center — to receive payments.

Abramoff and Scanlon used that think tank and other tax-exempt groups to steer the money from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and other tribes, according to documents released by the committee.

McCain said American International paid a total of $840,000 in 2002 to Greenberg Traurig, the law and lobbying firm where Abramoff worked, making it the firm's fifth largest lobbying client.

(I am sorry, but this really leaves me wondering about the Straight Talk Express)

Despite this, some big names will be at the event:
…Peter Wallison and A.B. Culvahouse, both of whom served as Counsel to Reagan, Nixon son-in-law/almost-HRC Senate opponent Edward Cox, former FEC Chair/campaign finance guru Trevor Potter and powerhouse communications attorney/ex-Nixon FCC chairman Dick Wiley of Wiley, Rein & Fielding (current White House Counsel Fred Fielding's firm).

Lawyers for Romney

Romney will hold his event at Hogan and Hartson. His cohost will include Cardenas, Comstock, Ginsberg, Norcross, Sekulow and Spies and a few others.

Later on Team Mitt will be hosting a Young Professionals for Mitt gathering. Martin gives us the scoop on this too:
On Tuesday, Team Mitt sends Political Director and former NRCC spokesman Carl Forti down from Boston to rally a group of Young Professionals for Romney over an Italian dinner. Brad Card, Andy's brother and a lobbyist with the Dutko Group, is pulling together Hill folks and Drew Maloney, another lobbyist and former Tom DeLay aide, is working the K St crowd.

Organizers expect between 30-40 people, mostly from the lobbying side. The purpose is four-fold: To get all up-and-coming Republicans on Mitt's message; to start growing the group and find some guys and gals in their 20s and 30s who could do take some time off to do grassroots work at, say, an Ames Straw Poll; to tap into the various policy expertise found in the group; and to find some who would be willing to put on low-dollar fundraisers with their peers.

No doubt it will be an interesting week in DC.

Thompson Mania has hit the airways, and he seems to be pulling some strong numbers out of the gate. A few places are trumpeting it as Romney is somehow falling down to Thompson, this is nonsense.

First the Iowa Poll:

Iowa
McCain - 29% (23)
Giuliani - 29% (31)
F Thompson - 12% (n/a)
Romney - 10% (8)
Gingrich - 7% (16)
All others - 1% or less

(Numbers in parenthesis are last months poll numbers)

Yes, this poll has Thompson up 2 points over Romney at 12%. Note though that Romney went up by 2 points. Gingrich on the other hand takes dive from 16% to 7%!! Quite the drop. Giuliani drops by two, and McCain goes up by 6 (a good score for McCain.

Now lets look at New Hampshire.

New Hampshire
McCain - 23% (26)
Giuliani - 19% (27)
Romney - 17% (15)
Gingrich - 11% (10)
F Thompson - 10% (n/a)
All others - 2% or less
Undecided - 15%

McCain drops (3%) as does Giuliani (by a tremendous amount- 8%) Meanwhile Mitt gains again, and is a full 7 points ahead of Thompson. If you took this poll, Iowa and Ohio (the three polls people are citing doom for Mitt) Romney is at 11% and Thompson is at 8.5% with Romney gaining a 2.5% between Iowa and NH. The Big looser is Giuliani who seems to be shriveling up from a diet of no substantive ideas and an unvetted background.

They also included useless TX and AR polls that tell us Huckabee is well received in Arkansas...

Texas (no previous poll)
Giuliani - 30%
McCain - 20%
Romney - 13%
F Thompson - 12%
Gingrich - 11%
All others - 2% or less

Arkansas (no previous poll)
Huckabee - 40%
McCain - 21%
Giuliani - 12%
Gingrich - 8%
F Thompson - 5%
Romney - 4%
All others - 1% or less

What my guess is (and only time will tell- not placing any bets) that Thompson will spell doom for Giuliani. Giuliani support can be classified as wide yet shallow- like a wading pool- good to get your feet wet, not enough to immerse yourself in. People who like Romney like him a lot. Giuliani plays the Law and Order Candidate, Thompson is the Law and Order star.

Thompson is untested, and the things to keep in mind are that Thompson has virtually no accomplishments to his name, has changed a positions on abortion himself (a good thing, but something to note), was widely held to be a lazy senator (something no one has ever accused Mitt of) and left politics because he got bored and went to Hollywood. His current run bears many resemblances to Rudy a few months ago. I see Thompson as having two routes to take:

  • Route Rudy- Sit and do nothing, let your name ride itself. Provides momentary gratification, long term failure. When the lights come on and the hangover from the night before wears off, people will feel a strong sense of buyers remorse when they start searching for positions and ideas and find none.

  • Start talking substantive now- even more risky. What is the substance behind Thompson? No one knows except his ability to argue for CFR on behalf of McCain. His ideas would have to be different then Romney's yet more enlightening and ariculated better. Basically he would have to start walking the walk now. According to Novak, this doesn't appear to be a real possibility in the near future, thus making RouteRudy the real possibility.

    Fred Thompson is the new Condoleeza Rice. It'll all be gone in a couple of months, and people will have to look at ACTUAL, DECLARED candidates.

    Then again, how many Dems wish they could have voted in the primary for Jeb Bartlett over Kerry? I wonder why the pollsters never included HIS name....



    Nice article. I appreciate your insight.

    FYI: "His ideas would have to be different then Romney's yet more enlightening and ariculated better."

    "then" should be "than" and "articulated" is misspelled.

    Romney issued the following press release recently:


    Governor Mitt Romney on Today's Iraq Vote

    Friday, Mar 23, 2007

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6400

    Boston, MA - Today, Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on the vote in the U.S. House of Representatives setting a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq:

    "Capitol Hill Democrats have once again proved their inability to make Washington work in the right manner.

    "The Democrat Congress' maneuver to micromanage our military efforts from their offices on Capitol Hill, along with the fiscally deplorable action of loading up a wartime spending bill with pork barrel earmarks unrelated to our military's fight against terrorism has provided the American people with yet another example of the Washington mindset run amok.

    "Democrats in Washington have established a dangerous policy that essentially provides the enemy a planning calendar with a date certain surrender. By voting for such a policy, they have jeopardized our chances for success and endangered the mission of establishing democracy and defeating the terrorists in Iraq.

    "All Americans want our troops out of Iraq, but we should never do so in a way that would jeopardize American security. Setting a public timeline without consideration of future circumstances, as they may exist at that time, is reckless and irresponsible.

    "I urge President Bush to veto this measure and send a clear message to Washington Democrats that they must not and will not undermine the efforts of the United States military."


    Romney's obviously right on with this statement. He's commented time and again how we don't have 535 Commanders-In-Cheif, but one. This deplorable action by the Democratic congress was also weak too. If they really did want to take a stand against the Iraq war (part of their apparent "mandate" from the last election cycle) they should do something stronger than tie the President's hands over a year from now. It's just a symbolic stand . . . and the pork barrel vote buying in this bill is simply politics at its worst. I knew it was a bad bill when all the reporters and commentators on CNN were bashing the bill and laughing at the recent bad leadership from the Democratic congress.

    Good for Romney taking this stand and encouraging to veto this bad bill (which he will.)

    Apparently Iowa County Chairs!

    This from IA Politic:


    Six Republicans said they were already committed to a candidate, with three saying they were supporting Romney and three picking Illinois lawyer John Cox.

    The Romney supporters cited his management skills and experience, with one respondent calling him "A solid candidate with good management experience at solving problems." That respondent also said Romney "doesn't seem to be an ultra conservative, perhaps more moderate than many others." Those who picked Cox cited his status as a D.C. outsider and his conservatism.

    RESULTS - Question: Who are you considering supporting?
    (only asked of undecided chairs)
    *Mitt Romney -- 55%
    *Mike Huckabee -- 45%
    *Rudy Giuliani -- 39%
    *Newt Gingrich -- 35%
    *John Cox -- 26%
    *Tom Tancredo -- 23%
    *John McCain -- 19%
    *Sam Brownback -- 19%
    *Tommy Thompson -- 13%
    *Duncan Hunter -- 10%
    *Ron Paul -- 6%
    *George Pataki -- 3%
    *Jim Gilmore -- 3%
    *Chuck Hagel -- 0%

    Methodology: IowaPolitics.com contacted county chairs by e-mail and followed up with phone calls to those who didn't respond initially. Forty-two Republican county chairs responded to the survey, which was conducted from February through March.




    What doesn't surprise me?

    The numbers of the top three. Iowa GOP'ers like conservatives, and able minded ones at that.

    What does surprise me? Hagel and Cox.

    Lets discuss...

    WAIT!!! Before anyone complains the numbers add up to more than 100%, it's because this is who people are considering, they might be considering more than one.

    OK, now let's discuss...

    Hey, this is the type of poll that means something! It shows that Romney is doing the right things to build support in the right places.

    What is Giuliani doing in Iowa to get those high numbers? Is it still just 'America's Mayor' syndrome?

    This is a fun endeavor! I love to watch the ebb and flow of picking team players (or rather players picking a team).

    Both Romney and McCain are making nailing down some great endorsements. The ground game is really taking shape. Since our last update two weeks ago here are some highlighted endorsements:

    Congressional Endorsements:
    • McCain picks up congressional endorsements from Richard Burr (Rep - NC), Todd Platts (Rep - PA)
    • Rudy picks up nods from Frank LoBiondo (Rep-NJ), Devin Nunes (Rep-CA), Jerry Lewis (Rep-CA) and Senator Vitter (LA)
    State Specific Highlights
    • McCain picks up a solid Florida team with a gambit of State Reps. He and Romney run about 10 elected officials each. Rudy has none in his camp. But Romney has a powerful finance team edge - most recently enhanced by getting H. Wayne Huizenga
    • Romney named his Iowa team with about 7 elected officials. McCain has yet to register any force in Iowa except for a paid of activists.
    • South Carolnia is a real battle. Even beyond the dueling Senators Romney and McCain are grabbing up endorsements. McCain recently unveiled a very solid finance team
    • Romney followed suit with a large finance crowd from Oregon and California
    • Despite his opponents trimming away nods in Michigan, Romney still owns the state elected officials: Romney: 47; McCain: 19; Rudy: 2
    • Phil Graham came out for McCain as did former NC Governor Jim Martin. Romney picked up current RI Governor Don Carcieri while Rudy picked up former MD Gov. Bob Ehrlich
    Of course... the story still remains! Where is Rudy's ground game?

    Bottom line is this: These three are going to have the cash at the end of Q1 but McCain and Romney have the strategy and legwork in place to make a showing. Rudy is just plain absent or silent?!

    Regardless... here are your charts:

    The following chart includes federal, state or local current or former elected officials
    2008 endorsements, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani on endorsements

    The following chart includes state specific leaders, including former or current local officials, party officials, and state activists.
    2008 endorsements, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani on endorsements


    The following chart includes members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate
    2008 endorsements, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani on endorsements


    The following chart includes all previous categories including finance-specific endorsements, other activists, and RNC members.

    Governor Romney's Initiative To Protect American Workers:

    Governor Romney Believes Hard Working Americans Have The Right To Not Pay Union Dues If They Do Not Belong To A Union. A bill working its way through the Iowa Legislature would allow public employee unions to charge union fees to nonunion workers.



    · Governor Romney Believes This Legislation Is Bad Policy. Employees – whether in the private sector or the public sector – have a right to choose whether to contribute to a union. This bill would force tens of thousands of school teachers and city, county and state government employees to pay union dues, even if they don't want to belong to the union.



    · Governor Romney Believes A Worker Should Have The Right To Choose Whether To Join A Union. Governor Romney opposes legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that would allow labor unions to organize businesses by taking away workers' rights to a secret ballot election to determine unionization. This kind of legislation would open the door to union coercion, intimidation, and badgering by allowing unions to collect cards from workers in lieu of a secret ballot election.



    Governor Romney Believes The Resources Of The Federal Government Should Not Be Used To Solicit Or Collect Dues For Politicized Organizations. As President, Governor Romney will work to overturn existing federal policy that permits automatic paycheck deduction for federal employees' union dues.



    Governor Romney Knows That With A Democratic Congress Beholden To Labor Unions, A National Right To Work Law Will Never Pass. Therefore, This Is An Issue That Is Being Dealt With On A State-By-State Basis. Governor Romney Encourages State Legislatures To Take The Lead And Support Right To Work Laws In Their States. Currently 22 states have Right to Work laws and many of them have seen exponential economic growth. Many states without Right to Work laws are struggling economically. Flexible labor laws allow states to attract trade and industry to their cities and towns and because of this, good, high paying jobs follow.



    Governor Romney's Record On Union Paychecks:



    In 2003, Governor Romney Challenged A Program Allowing "State Employees To Contribute 50 Cents A Week From Their Paychecks Into Union Political Action Committees, Saying The System Unfairly Favors Unions That Support Democrats." ("Romney Wants To Stop State Employees PAC Contribution," The Associated Press, 8/5/03)



    · The Boston Globe: "In a letter delivered yesterday to the director of the Office of Campaign and Political Finance, Romney's chief legal counsel challenged the voluntary payroll deduction, which is used by about 12.5 percent of the state's eligible employees. Administration officials say the program raises $435,000 per year for state employee union PACs, many of which opposed Romney in 2002." (Joanna Weiss, "Romney Fights Union On PAC Contribution," The Boston Globe, 8/5/03)



    The Massachusetts Office Of Campaign And Political Finance Ruled That Unions Cannot Solicit Automatic Payroll Deductions On State Property Or Through State Workers. "The State Office of Campaign and Political Finance has rebuffed Governor Mitt Romney's effort to ban automatic payroll deductions from state workers' paychecks for unions' political action committees. But in a partial victory for the governor, the office also ruled that the unions cannot solicit those deductions on state property or through state workers and must reimburse the state for costs associated with collecting the money." (Rick Klein, "Mixed Response In Union Ruling Restrictions Given For PAC Deductions," The Boston Globe, 9/12/03)



    · Boston Herald: "Hats off to Gov. Mitt Romney for calling a spade a spade and putting a stop to public employee unions' improper use of state resources for political purposes. OCPF should have put a stop to this flouting of state law long ago. But then again, no politician until Romney had the guts to ask them to." (Editorial, "Closing A PAC Loophole," Boston Herald, 9/14/03)

    This was released by the Campaign today. One of things that distinguishes Romney from other candidates is that he has already begun to lay out concrete positions. Most of the other candidates are resting on the stilt legs of name recognition and image, with no sign of where they stand on important issues. Romney knows the presidential race needs to be raised to the level where policy initiatives are put forth and discussed at length, thus pushing our country in a better direction.

    I would take the time to check out www.mittromney.com. It provides a wealth of information on his positions and achievements. It is tech savvy, but more importantly its high on content, not just bells and whistles.

    hugh Hewitt Mormon in the White House Mitt ROmney I just participated in an excellent bloggers conference call questioning Hugh Hewitt on his book "A Mormon in the White House?" (see link over the right).

    Hugh has hoisted and hosted a deluge of interviews on the book and is now channeling Henry Kissinger with a decisive rasp in the voice.
    (quick tip for Hugh from a family of professional singers: mug full of hot water, 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, one heaping tablespoon of honey, balance to taste and sip).
    Great questions all around from the crowd. I asked about the discussion of religion inside and outside the campaign.

    Thomas Lifson, the editor of AmericanThinker.com had this to say recently:
    We are all going to be learning about the Latter Day Saints, should Mitt Romney gain the nomination. One side benefit of a Mormon candidacy for the president would be sustained attention to a fascinating religious group, comprising a distinctive thread in the American tapestry. To be blunt, this is a group of people who stick to traditional values and thrive brilliantly. Their success speaks for itself, epitomized by Romney himself. The more people who look closely at the Mormons, the better off we will be. There are implications to be drawn, and nothing teaches like example. Work hard, be thrifty, save, give, emphasize family, and have kids are values that transcend any one religion.
    Hugh has indicated that Romney gets to set the terms of the debate around his religion. To date the Governor and his campaign have avoided the detailed doctrinal questions around Mormonism (which in my estimation is a good thing).

    I asked whether or not a larger debate and dialogue is necessary outside the campaign to relieve the concerns (legitimate or otherwise) that people have about Mormonism.

    Hugh believes it would be a good thing and notes that it has already started. The appendix of his books is a transcript of a dialogue he had between two prominent theologians. Get the book and read it... it's very instructive. (I'm penning an article on this as we speak).

    Another question was raised about the Salt Lake City issue (dubbed the Linker issue). Namely, that if elected, Mitt will be beholden to the Mormon powers that be. The Damon Linker article (from the New Republic) was decisive in it's conclusion: absolutely yes!

    Of course, they probably never bothered to ask any Mormons about it.

    As a Mormon, I can tell you unequivocally that this is a false premise and notion. Two quick points.

    1) The Articles of Faith are thirteen points that every Mormon memorizes in their youth. While not comprehensive, they represent the salient points of Mormonism and represent our core doctrines.

    Article 12 reads:
  • We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
  • This is not just an idle creed.

    I served my mission for the Mormon Church to Poland from 1990-1992. I was in one of the first groups of missionaries to be called to Poland (after the wall came down). Until that time the Communist government of Poland had allowed very few missionaries to enter the country. Up until 1989 there were only 4 representatives of the church in the country. Other faiths (such as the Jehovah's witnesses) did their proselytizing illegally behind the Iron Curtain. Mormons did not.

    Interestingly enough, this became a benefit for us in other former Soviet block countries as governments gave us more leeway on land leases and missionary permits than other evangelizing groups because we had respected their bylaws in previous years.

    This creed is also why the Church submitted to the congressional decrees baning Plural Marriage in the late 19th century. In short, we obey the laws of the land.

    2) The New Republic also failed to ask Harry Reid about this. Here's an interesting story you may not know.

    In the spring of 2006, the LDS Church took the rare (if not unprecedented) move to have Mormon Bishops across the country read a statement to their congregations supporting a marriage amendment. Then (in a very unprecedented move) the Church sent one of their Senior Apostles, Elder Russell M. Nelson, to appear next to Senator Allard in support of the vote and urged members to call their Senators and express their opinion.

    Meanwhile, down the hall, devout Mormon Harry Reid was mustering his troops to oppose the amendment. Was Harry Reid later reprimanded or excommunicated? No.

    That about settles the issue in my mind...

    I'll have a lot more to say in coming months.

    In short, just know that Mitt Romney is as independent as John F. Kennedy from the supposed binding grasp of his religious ecclesiastical authority.

    "Devout" Mormon Harry Reid? From whence do you draw this characterization? If Senator Reid is devout, surely he attends the temple, admission to which is restricted not just to members of the LDS Church but more particularly to those members who strive to live by the highest ideals of LDS doctrine, including being honest with their fellowmen. "Honest" is not an adjective that applies to Senator Reid. Hence, "devout" would seem inapplicable as well.

    I think it is disgusting to bleed one's view of politics into one's personal and religious life. There is no way that any could judge a man on a religious level unless all the facts are known. Now, we can make a evaluation in the politcal arena, but it makes my stomach turn when we tread in this area.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 22, 2007 at 8:58 PM  


    Harry Reid is a convert to the Church .. and is by all accounts a religious man fully active in the church .. Mitt Romney spent years as a local leader of church congregations devoting a great deal of personal time to the calling ... yes Harry Reid's politics are an anomaly for current Mormons .. but in the past Democrats were represented in the ranks of leadership ...

    (I posted this yesterday at www.race42008.com, as a rebuttal to NRO editor Deroy Murdock, who posted a piece on Race42008 full of factual misrepresentations concerning Romney. It should be noted Deroy is an ardent fan of Giuliani and a less ardent fan of the truth.)

    Deroy, after reading your post, I decided I wanted to address some of the inaccurate facts you present.

    Needless to say as an unabashed Mitt supporter I see numerous problems in a Mitt-Hitt piece written by an unabashed Rudy supporter. (Not to mention that your piece is just a regurgitation -- really a "cut and paste" -- of an old piece we've seen in other places.)

    Here is where you go wrong (hope this post isn’t too long):

    1. Regarding Bopp: You said:
    “I don’t know yet about Romney,” Bopp admitted to Politico.com’s Jonathan Martin on February 21. “I’m not really sure where [abortion] will ultimately fit in his agenda. He’s still on a journey.”

    Whoops! Maybe you missed the comments Bopp left here at our very own www.race42008.com
    The last four paragraphs of Johathan Martin’s blog combines answers to several questions to me creating the erroneous impression that I am uncertain about Romney’s pro-life position. I am not. To the question: “will any of these candidates really advocate an end to abortion or were they just paying lip service to an important issue,” my view is that “Romney is sincere about advocating an end to abortion — he is not paying lip service to it.” If I had been asked further about this, I would have said that he will promote and sign pro-life legislation, oppose and veto pro-choice legislation (as he had done as Governor) and appoint strict constructionist judges. My statement about Romney in the last sentence of the Martin’s blog (which is correctly viewed by commentators here as “strange,” “odd,” and “bizarre,” if made to the question “is he paying lip service” to it) was about where does the abortion issue fit in his agenda, in other words what priority would he give it, and I think that it is important now and is growing in importance to him (that is the “journey” I was referring to).

    I believe your original article appeared on March 6th. Don’t you think if you were going to use the quote again - the honest thing would have been to included this update, instead of presenting it as fact, cut-and-paste?

    2. Campaign Finance: What do your points have to do with anything McCain-Feingold oriented? For the Myth vs. Fact on Romney’s CFR stance see here.

    3. Guns: You wrote:

    Governor Romney signed the first statewide assault-weapons ban in 2004. He also bragged that his support for such gun-ownership restrictions as the Brady Bill and the federal assault-weapons ban was “not going to make me the hero of the NRA.”

    Really, at some point you should just write in your blog you only post half-truths. No mention of Romney’s “B’ rating from the NRA while a governor. No mention of your candidates gun-grabbing tendencies. No mention of this or this.

    It would have also been nice had you explained that the Massachuset’s Assault Weapons ban also had some great pro-gun measures in it:
    The new law also makes a number of improvements to the current gun licensing system, including:

    * Extending the term of a firearm identification card and a license to carry firearms from four years to six years;
    * Granting a 90-day grace period for holders of firearm identification cards and licenses to carry who have applied for renewal; and
    * Creating a seven-member Firearm License Review Board to review firearm license applications that have been denied.

    “This is truly a great day for Massachusetts’ sportsmen and women,” said Senator Stephen M. Brewer. “These reforms correct some serious mistakes that were made during the gun debate in 1998, when many of our state’s gun owners were stripped of their long-standing rights to own firearms. I applaud Senate President Travaglini for allowing the Senate to undertake this necessary legislation.”

    It also would have been nice had you noted that Romney still stands behind Assault Weapons ban. Nothing has changed.

    4. Gay marriage:
    Romney calls himself a “vehement” foe of gay marriage. “From Day One, I have opposed the move for same-sex marriage, and its equivalent, civil unions,” Romney told South Carolina Republicans on February 21, 2005.

    But just two days later, he told the Boston Globe’s Frank Phillips: “I am only supporting civil unions if gay marriage is the alternative.”

    Did you even think about what you just wrote? Romney just stated he chose civil unions only because it was that or gay marriage -- not because he supports civil unions. A comment posted on this site might be instructive for your next hit piece:
    An initial bill came through the legislature, attempting to ban both gay marriage and civil unions, but was unable to get serious support. So people proposed a bill which allowed civil unions, which Mitt initially opposed. Finally he agreed to support the effort saying, that he only supported civil unions if the only alternative was gay marriage. When it quickly became apparent that the legislature was nowhere near eager to begin to amendent process, even for that minor change, Mitt revoked his support of the bill and circumvented the legislature with a citizen ballot initiative banning both gay marriage and civil unions. -- Matt from R42008

    Did you miss the part about Romney instituting old laws to keep out of state gay marriages, suing the state legislature and effectively forcing them to vote on the petition? Did you miss the fact your candidate has done literally nothing to stop gay marriage? Did Guiliani testify to congress in support of the FMA? What has Rudy done in regards to gay marriage? To quote a friend of mine, “Given Rudy's stance against doing anything at all in defense of traditional marriage, and doing quite a lot to further the gay-union agenda, Rudy could perhaps even be summed up as "functionally" pro-gay-marriage…or pro-gay-union if you prefer.”

    If you are going to bash Romney for not being anti-gay marriage enough you need two things:

    • Proof

    • A candidate of your own who has stranger track record.


    I am not trying to knock on Giuliani as much as I am trying to point out your inconsistencies.

    5. Democratic Campaign contributions:

    Do you really care that Romney gave a little money to friends of his who ran for congress as democrats? I mean does it really mean anything at all? Will it somehow make him unable to fight in Iraq or work out difficult issues with congress? I mean Deroy, you are in love with Rudy! A guy who wants to be middle, left, and right!

    BTW, can’t wait to see your post on Giuliani endorsing Cuomo. That will be a good one.

    Final points:

    • People can love Rudy or whomever, but to produce a piece like this which is filled a multitude of flagrant factual violations is something else.

    • The tone of your piece suggests that you think these are problems for Mitt, although most of what you state is manipulations of fact, and the guy you endorse is worse in all categories.

    • The timing of your re-post is questionable

    • If you like your candidate and want to support him that’s fine, but don’t sit on some high horse with more Achilles Heals than you have heals.

    • Be fresh! Think new! We love new ideas, new challenges, new questions. Otherwise things get stale around here.

    I found the comment that Romney signed the first state-wide assault weapons ban to be curious as well. While some might not characterize the California Assault Weapons Act as a ban, the people I have sent to prison for simply possessing those guns sure know better.

    Regarding Bopp...thanks so much for that clarification. I think there's a lot of confusion out there on this particular item. I think it bears repeating not only here, but elsewhere.

    Please keep bringing it up! You guys are doing a great job!

    Romney had a great day for endorsements today, and it's only 12pm!

    Iowa

    Romney added Past Iowa Christian Alliance Director of Outreach Joe Earle. Joe had this to say about Romney:
    "Governor Romney has an impressive record on the issues that matter most to conservative Christian voters. Whether leading the fight for traditional marriage, implementing abstinence education programs or standing strong on Life, Governor Romney has shown the integrity and leadership necessary to move our nation forward."

    This is not too much of surprise. Last I heard (through sources) Romney is the only top candidate Iowa Christian Alliance hasn't crossed off there list. They don't officially endorse candidates, although like any other not-for-profit they have other ways of supporting candidates, my guess is this could be one.

    Florida

    Romney's team in Florida only seems to be getting stronger. With the addition of Bruno A. Barreiro, the Chairman Of The Miami-Dade County Board Of Commissioners and Troy R. Samuels, the Vice-Mayor Of The City Of Miramar. Add these two to his incredibly strong team in Florida (which includes many of Jeb's closest advisers and a top notch financial team) the Florida train will prove to be a tough team when the ground game actually begins.

    South Carolina

    Wapo is reporting that Romney added a key staff member in South Carolina: Drew McKissick, Christian Coalitions National Secratary and Board Member. McKissick is also co-chairman of the South Carolina GOP's rules committee. Though he is as a paid staff member, McKissick also is endorsing Romney and views his endrsement of Romney and his paid job as two separate things:
    "I started to go through this process a year ago," McKissick said of the endorsement. "It became obvious to me who was likely be the consensus conservative choice."

    One thing to note, Iowa Christian Alliance is a break off group of the Christian Coalition, there is probably no connection between the Iowa endorsement and the South Carolina.

    The Polls have Romney slowly making ground. Hes polling over 20% in several key states. His fundraising situation is top notch, especially with the addition of the new program for college students as first reported here. Now his ground game is coming to fruition with key Christian leaders and operatives in important states joining up with him.

    The Washington Post reports that Romney has received the endorsement of Drew McKissick.:

    A Christian Coalition of America officer who ran a successful campaign to ban gay marriage in South Carolina said Thursday he is endorsing Republican Mitt Romney's presidential bid and will work for the campaign.

    Drew McKissick, the national coalition's secretary and board member, will be a paid "South Carolina grass roots adviser" for the campaign, Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said Thursday.

    Imagine getting a summer job with the campaign and getting 10% of the money that comes in! - Sounds CRAZY?! - Read on

    As Governor Romney is always wont to say: he wants to bring innovation to the government.

    It looks like he's going to try his hand at campaign fundraising... again!
    • First, there was the savvy legal maneuvering with Romney's Commonwealth PAC that upset some writers at the Wall Street Journal.
    • Next the January 8th Fundraiser that brought in over $6.5 Million in 9 hours, from a single room of 400 friends and associates.
    • Instead of using the typical political mold of fundraising tools, the Romney campaign instead opted to use a modified commercial hosted application SalesForce.com
    • To incentivize fundraisers to get more visibility they created the Multi-level Marketing equivalent of "getting noticed". As a serious high-level fundraiser you can create your own "associated fundraisers" to increase donations and get credit for doing so
    And now, we bring you innovation #323... Students for Mitt.

    It goes something like this: If you are currently a student and want to earn from cash... spend your summer touting Mitt Romney instead of selling Pesticide. For everything to raise over $1000 you will get 10% back!

    So if you raise $50,000 you get $5000 back. If you raise $100,000 you get $10,000 back! That's serious money for a college student and for a great cause!

    Legal has vetted this. For more information click on the graphic below:

    I loved this one from the Associated Press . . .

    Romney Camp Catches Flak for Hitler Ad

    By COREY WILLIAMS

    DETROIT Mar 20, 2007 (AP)— The co-chair of presidential candidate Mitt Romney's finance committee contributed to a group that used the money for a newspaper ad comparing Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to Adolf Hitler.


    OK . . . so it's AP news story worthy to imply that Romney supports calling the MI Governor "Hitler"? Is that what they're really trying to say? How many degrees of seperation are needed for protection?

    Here's what happened. An edgy PAC/527 unwisely used some of the money donated to them (from potentially hundreds of people) to, among other things, place an inappropriate and insenstive ad. Did Romney donate to this PAC? NO. Did Romney's advisor think his donations would be used for this ad? NO. Was this advisor on-board with Romney at the time of this donation? NO. Has Romney ever said or implied anything remotely resembling these ideas? NO. Can we trust the AP to give us objective news? NO.

    What is most disturbing is that the AP linked Romney to Hitler IN THE HEADLINE OF THE STORY AND RE-ITERATES IT IN THE FIRST SENTENCE/PARAGRAPH WITHOUT MENTIONING RAKOLTA'S NAME! This is absolutely outrageous . . . though not surprising since the AP is becoming little more than a springboard for the DNC's talking points. Don't belive me? The AP story also contained the following . . .

    Damien LaVera, spokesman for the DNC, said Rakolta's position on Romney's finance committee raises questions about the type of presidential campaign the Republican candidate plans on running.

    "It's incumbent on Mitt Romney to say whether or not he supports those campaign tactics or those ads," LaVera said Tuesday. "Does Romney stand by these types of ads and tactics or not?"


    Are they really asking these questions?

    Are they trying to say that Romney has Nazi tendencies? . . . that he is the re-incarnation of Hitler? . . . that he is anti-Semitic? Or, are they just trying to subliminaly scare the distantly observing public by lying to them about Romney? I'll let you decide on that one.

    Just for an interesting juxtaposition I decided to do a Google News Search for "Hitler Romney AP" and came up with 38 "pick-ups" of this AP article by Media outlets . . . in addition to The New Republic's article a few weeks back which ties Romney with Hitler (via Henry Ford).

    However, a Google News Search for "Hitler Soros AP" yielded NO AP stories about the multi-billionaire's controversial comments comparing our current Cheif Executive to Hitler. Soros is a HUGE supporter of Barack Obama, MoveOn.org, and liberal Democrats in general . . . Was there a MSM/DNC outcry against every candidate and group who received/will-receive money or advice from Mr. Soros? Again, the answer is a resounding "NO." Why is the AP/DNC so outraged now?

    You know you've come of age when the DNC aims all its guns at you; when moderate republicans have you in your cites and when your enemies in the press will do ANYTHING to drag you down in the dumps.

    The later episode was on full display over the last two days as the Miami Herald reports on a supposed faux pas that Gov. Romney supposedly committed in front of a Cuban-American audience by quoting a Castro phrase at the end of his speech.

    There's only one problem. He was using the phrase to bash Castro.

    Capn' Ed and others at CQ are on top of the story.

    Here' how the Miami Herald reports the "blunder":
    People chuckled when presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a Mormon raised in Michigan and elected in Massachusetts, bungled the names of Cuban-American politicians during a recent speech in Miami.

    But when he mistakenly associated Fidel Castro's trademark speech-ending slogan -- Patria o muerte, venceremos! -- with a free Cuba, listeners didn't laugh. They winced.

    Castro has closed his speeches with the phrase -- in English, ''Fatherland or death, we shall overcome'' -- for decades.
    Here's what Romney ACTUALLY said:
    Romney: “I said at the outset that the threat in Latin America is unprecedented. I say that because the Castros have a second tyrant and he has great wealth, from oil. We must stand just as firm against caudillos like Hugo Chavez, tutored by Fidel Castro. Chavez and Castro are brothers in blood, intent on personal gratification at the expense of their people. Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have stolen the phrase – 'Patria o muerte, venceremos.’ This phrase should not be used by dictators, but by liberators.

    “There are two spheres of influence in the Western Hemisphere. One is dark, bellicose and spreads misery by denying people basic freedoms; the other shines like a powerful light, is peaceful and wants only for its people to live in liberty and prosper."
    It's absurd that the Miami Herald had to stoop to this level. But we can't say we're surprised

    Hey Justin, I am sure you really meant to use the word "sights" instead of the word "cites". I hope this was a typo.

    I am Cuban and I agree with your post, but suffice it to say that the Cuban thing is something difficult to understand. But not impossible.

    The Herald tries to sell newspapers, just as Castro tries to control political flows.

    If Cubans are to be blamed for anything, it is our natural ability to be blinded by emotions which we let others control so easily. Castro has had a field day for the past 50 years reigns in hand.



    Well no kidding, I bought the story when I first read it though it surprised me a guy like Mitt didn't do his research?! Reading the actual speech is a totally different story. What a bunch of propaganda you get from the MSM nowadays.



    You're right, it's surprising the Herald stooped to the level of mis-contextualizing Romney's words. Those two block-quoted paragraphs are ripe-to-bursting with the kind of broad-brush talk that offers nothing but emotional stimulation for the most simple minds.

    The honest, direct quote relfects much more poorly on Romney, assuming that was the Herald's intent.

    P.S. The Avant Garde is killing your readability, especially at that size. Please use Georgia or even Arial. It's work to get through an article set in that font. Use it only for heads/subheads.

    McCain: “I Do Support Embryonic Stem-Cell Research…” "When questioned about his stance on abortion, McCain said, 'I do support embryonic stem-cell research because I believe it has the capability to relieve human suffering in a very big way.'" (Juli Rothstein, "McCain Visits," Exeter (NH) News-Letter, 3/20/07)

    McCain Recently Told An Audience That He Supported Embryonic Stem Cell Research, And Suggested He Was A Moderate. "Appearing at the Community Church in Vero Beach as part of the Riverside Theatre's Distinguished Lecturer Series, McCain said he is appealing for support for all elements of the party. He suggested the crowd listening to his talk Monday could be described as the more moderate wing of the party. McCain drew applause from that audience as he expressed support for embryonic stem cell research, which has been opposed by many anti-abortion conservatives because of the destruction of the embryos." (Ed Bierschenk, "McCain Dispels Flip-Flop Claims," Scripps-Howard, 2/20/07)

    McCain Voted To Allow Federal Funding For Research On Stem Cells Derived From Human Embryos. (H.R. 810, CQ Vote #206: Passed 63-37: R 19-36; D 43-1; I 1-0, 6/7/06, McCain Voted Yea)

    McCain Expressed Disappointment That Bush Vetoed Federal Funds For Research On Embryos. "McCain distanced himself dramatically from the president on embryonic-stem-cell-research funding, expressing his disappointment that the president would choose to use his first veto on this issue, at the same time invoking the Reagan name (one of many times over the course of his speech) to express his disapproval." (Kathryn Jean Lopez, "Vice Candidate," National Review, 8/3/06)

    McCain Wants Tax Credits To Encourage Stem Cell Research. "In a discussion moderated by Stephen Wright, editorial page editor of the Mercury News, Chambers often expressed optimism, while McCain spoke in grimmer terms about the political climate in Washington. They touched on several issues… Research and development: Tax credits and more should be done to encourage more research and development, the two said. 'By the way, that includes stem-cell research,' McCain added, a triggering applause." (Scott Duke Harris, "McCain's Valley Splash," The [San Jose, CA] Mercury News, 11/4/06)

    During The 2000 Primary, McCain Proclaimed That Experimenting On Aborted Fetuses Was OK Since It Could Possibly Cure Diseases. "McCain, an Arizona senator, is the only Republican candidate who said he does not support restrictions on fetal tissue research. He said he has voted in the past to permit such research. 'I believe the practice of abortion is morally repugnant, but my abhorrence for the vast array of diseases that inflict such great pain and suffering on millions of people is also profound,' he said. 'We must support medical research that will save lives.'" (Okamoto Lynn, "GOP Candidates Split On Litmus Test," Des Moines Register, 8/8/99)

    Great video from Romney's Website (on MittTV)

    Those of us who have been watching Romney closely for quite some time aren't surprised by all the congressional endorsements Romney is picking up. He's just that impressive and he truly inspires confidence.

    Forgive me if this has been published here before.

    This morning my wife and I watched Fox and Friends despite protests from my son to put it on Barney. But as luck would have it, Mitt showed up. He has a couple good lines about despite the teasing he won't shave his head and that he hasn't had to comb it since High School. But he also left some good remarks on Clinton's "policy" for Iran:

    Since it's a rather objective overview by Amanda B. Carpenter I will post the thing in whole:

    In his campaign to win the Republican nomination for President, expect former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to have a strong economic plan and to hit rival candidates hard on taxes. Romney has compiled a team of dedicated Reaganite supply-siders -- many of whom also helped engineer President Bush’s tax cuts -- to produce what Romney’s spokesman called a “very idea-based campaign.”

    Communications Director Kevin Madden, who left his job on Capitol Hill as press secretary for House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio), said, “Right now, we’re shaping up, the whole campaign is being put together very well. We’re going to be a very idea-based campaign, one that is going to have a very robust blueprint for meeting the challenges that the country is facing and is going to face in the future. The governor is a person who is going to be applying solutions, and those solutions are going to be devised around very forward-leaning, energetic, visionary policies.”

    The Romney campaign is staffed by a number of experienced policy heavyweights. Leading the economic team are R. Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia University Graduate School of Business, and N. Gregory Mankiw, a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a free-market economist at Harvard. Hubbard was the chairman of President Bush’s National Economic Council from 2001 to 2003. Mankiw took the position until 2005.


    Together, these men are considered the chief architects of the Bush tax cuts. Over the course of the campaign, these advisers are expected to give Romney the upper hand over Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) on taxes.When McCain infamously voted against the Bush 2003 tax cuts, he forced Vice President Dick Cheney to go to Capitol Hill to cast a tie-breaking vote in favor of them. The Arizona senator’s tax policies were recently the target of a lengthy attack by Club for Growth President Pat Toomey, who said, “American taxpayers cannot expect consistently pro-growth economic policies from a McCain Administration.”

    Economist John Cogan, a senior economic advisor to George W. Bush when he was Texas governor and who directed his budget transition team, will be another key economic adviser and a major player on the Romney campaign team. Cogan has served as assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Labor, associate director in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and as OMB deputy director.

    Former Special Assistant to President Bush on economic policy Brian Reardon, another veteran of Bush’s NEC shop, has also joined the Romney campaign. Reardon has front-line battle experience on tax policy from his service as staff director and chief economist of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. Former domestic policy adviser to Vice President Cheney and renowned tax strategist Cesar Conda has joined the Romney economic brain trust as well.

    “The governor has a long record in business, especially strong in wiping away a $3- billion deficit without raising taxes,” Madden said. “He does have a strong economic advisory council, and these folks are helping with the economy, taxes and competitiveness.”

    Former Minnesota Congressman Vin Weber has become Romney’s overall policy chairman.Weber was a strong supporter of McCain’s 2000 presidential bid but, in this race, switched his allegiance to Romney.

    Madden said, “Vin Webber is going to basically be the chairman of our ideas factory. He’s going to be serving a role similar to the one that Robert Zoelick served with then-Gov. Bush in 2000.”

    Weber now leads the lobbying firm Clark & Weinstock and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.With Jack Kemp, he was a founder of Empower America. He also co-chaired an independent task force on U.S. Policy Toward Reform in the Arab World with former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

    Rounding out Romney’s foreign policy shop is congressman Peter Hoekstra (R.-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. Hoekstra is now Romney’s intelligence adviser.

    Former Missouri GOP Sen. Jim Talent is the chairman of Romney’s Domestic Policy task force.

    Madden said that Talent was the ideal choice because “he’s someone who is very well versed in domestic policy issues. He has a strong reputation as having helped tailor a lot of Republican and conservative policies in this field while he was in the Senate.” As domestic policy adviser Talent will be on point for healthcare issues, helping to meld Romney’s approach to universal healthcare on a national scale. Talent campaigned for the Senate on a promise to allow small businesses to purchase their own health care plans through independent trade associations. He was not successful in passing any legislation to do this once elected, but he did work with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) to pass a bill to create a tracking system to ensure that active-duty military and Reservists got health-care screenings. Talent also worked with Sen. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.) to pass a bill to fund treatment for sickle-cell disease.

    After seeing their candidate pummeled on conservative websites as a “flip flopper” on abortion, the Romney camp has signed on nationally known pro-life lawyer James Bopp, Jr., who specializes in abortion and assisted suicide cases, as special adviser on life issues. A few months ago, a video surfaced online of a 1994 debate for Massachusetts’ Senate seat between Romney and Sen. Teddy Kennedy. At the event Romney said that abortion should be legal and that “regardless about choice, you would hope it would be safe and legal.” Since announcing his 2008 bid, Romney has promised he has become pro-life and as President would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    Bopp (who was a HUMAN EVENTS summer intern three decades ago) recently wrote an article in National Review defending the governor’s conversion from a reliable pro-choice advocate to a pro-life supporter. Bopp wrote: “The evaluation of Romney’s conversion needs to be considered in light of the pro-life movement’s consistent effort over the years to educate, and thereby convert, people to the cause.”

    Other notable conservative political advisers Romney has secured include: Former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens, Sen. Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R.-Tenn.) and Rep. Tom Feeney (R.-Fla.).
