Romney is the nominee! He s not quitting or going down!!

[Logical]

People here said the same thing about Palin weekly!

This news will be long forgotten before August!

Romney is their idiot! That will not change!

[RandySF]

1. But it fills in the larger narrative.

And we've barely scratched the surface. I think we'll find something much uglier if we keep digging.

[Logical]

3. I hope so! N-t

[pa28]

15. Exactly. You keep pushing.

At some point the public realizes there is a personality pattern showing Romney to be a serial liar with abusive tendencies. Each story you uncover gets more play and reinforces the impression.

[MrSlayer]

2. Does anyone actually think he's going to quit?

He's spent too hard to get into this position, he's not going to just walk away.

I don't know that the news will be long forgotten as we will keep bringing it up. Over and over. As we should.

Romney is indeed their idiot.

[aquart]

11. Why would we want him to walk away?

Gift from God, our Mitt.

[Art_from_Ark]

18. Some people thought GWB was a "gift from God" as well

and he had as many issues as Dog-on-Top does.

[aquart]

31. Do you want to have a beer with Mitt?

[Art_from_Ark]

33. I don't want to have a beer with any of those jackasses

I don't understand how that's a qualification for any political office.

[Herlong]

35. Did anybody want to have a beer with Bush

Until the media convinced them they should?

[Politicalboi]

4. We should still make him struggle

I bet this can of worms is just opening up. I bet there are MANY more victims to come to light. Tear Down The Wall!

[DearAbby]

6. I agree...this is a character flaw.

Democrats should run on this. He is willing to take credit for things Obama has done, but not take responsibility for what he has done. Serious flaw.

[Logical]

9. I hope! I want the stories coming out after the convention!

[RandySF]

5. Think of the Post article as an arrow.

And it's pointing to where the really ugly stuff is.

[aquart]

10. Nobody seems inclined to keep quiet, either.

As opposed to the nervous nellies who clammed up about Bush.

[RandySF]

12. The Romneys arewhite trash compared to the Bushes.

The Bush family fortune goes way back and their political financial reach touch every part of the country.

[rufus dog]

7. Agree, and ....

They are going to keep putting him on the defensive.

1. Contraception
2. Bin Laden
3. Gay Marriage
4. .....
5. .....
6. .....

[aquart]

8. PALIN LOST

So I'm fine with it.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. "People here said the same thing about Palin weekly"

Ya...and the McCain-Palin campaign got their asses handed to them.

[Logical]

17. I agree, but alin never quit or was dumped!

[Cali_Democrat]

22. True. I don't think they'll dump Romney

But it would be hilarious if they did!

[loyalsister]

14. I suspect they will roll out one incident after another

of Romney saving a marriage, rescuing some at risk kid, etc.. in his bishop role

[RandySF]

19. If they do.

We should remind them of the good Bishop Romney who threatened to excommunicate a single mom because she refused to give her baby up for adoption.

[loyalsister]

23. Indeed

Respect for mothers- acceptable mothers to be determined by a mormon elder or committee- that is.

[tblue37]

20. I have already seen one such article--about him rescuing a family and their dog from

drowning.

It made me think of all those heroic doctor stories they used to publish about cat-cutter Frist.

[loyalsister]

21. An entire family, huh?

I suppose we'll also hear about burning houses, drug interventions, reforming wife beaters.... When there is more news on the subject of abortion, someone who would have been aborted will tell their story.

[tblue37]

29. AND their friggin' dog! nt

[loyalsister]

34. I don't get why things like that are remarkable

I just heard a spot about him helping people find a missing daughter. The thing that should be socking is allowing a family and their pet to drown, or not joining a search of someone who has gone missing. I would think good deeds would be expected of a person who hold some kind of elevated position in church.

[SoutherDem]

16. Remember Swiftboating

We need to use the same thing on Romney.

Keep bring the subject up.

When they try to make him sound like a warm and fuzzy guy, bring it up.
When they try to make him sound like a compassionate person, bring it up.
When they try to make him sound like a regular guy, bring it up.
Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up.

Also, include his wife's cars, his nascar owning friends, the dog on the roof, everything he has handed us on a silver or excuse me platinum platter to show him to be the arrogant, pompous, condescending, bigot that he really is.

[uncle ray]

24. that is not "Swiftboating".

Swiftboating is lying. sorry to nit-pick, but their tactics are not ours. you are correct about what to do, you just have applied a wrong name.

[Carla in Sequim]

25. Fair enough. But whatever we do call it,

exposing the chronic lying on just about every subject can't hurt.
I wish someone at each of his events would yell "release your tax returns!"

[SoutherDem]

27. Your are right

I couldn't think of a better term, but you got my point. Don't let them forget.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

26. An elected republican Perry supporter told me months ago...

They had mormon dirt on Romney that would make him and his family look as fucked up as Tom Cruise.

[SoutherDem]

28. I could see that

Many years ago I was given a book by a Christian friend about the Mormon Church. The book, if the claims in it were true, would curl you hair. The book was obviously written from a hateful manner and was extremely anti-Mormon with a goal of inciting hate toward this "cult". I dismissed and discarded the book because I could see the same type of book being written about homosexuals, from the same denomination owned publisher. I couldn't see why I should trust the author and publisher to tell the truth. I have since heard some of the claims repeated from other sources so I am guessing there is at least some truth but how much is it being embellished?

Never the less, if the claims in this book are true. If Romney did some of those things. If it ever comes to light. Then Romney may have a real problem.

[aquart]

32. Define "mormon dirt".

Are his religious undergarments made by Armani?

[coalition_unwilling]

30. I posted a thread yesterday asking whether DU thought Romney

would withdraw.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002670884

I would say that opinion ran probably 99-1 in favor of your position. There were a couple responses that thought it was still a developing story.

I posted from a point of wishful thinking, hoping for a measure of justice for all victims of bullying past and present. There's a part of me that wants to see Romney stick around, only so the issue stays in the mix through November. Now when people look at him, they'll be nodding at what he says but in their minds thinking "What a fucking bully." But there's a part of me who wants to see him forced to step down. John Lauber deserves no less.
