WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Five days after setting off a political firestorm with an ad in The New York Times attacking the top U.S. commander in Iraq, MoveOn.org has set its sights on President Bush…Also Friday, Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a fellow Republican presidential candidate, criticized MoveOn.org during a television interview.
"MoveOn.org has purchased the Democratic Party, if you will," Romney told Joe Scarborough during an interview on MSNBC. "Its funding, and the status of this 527, and the voice that it has in the Democratic Party is so powerful that's now calling the shots."
Romney also said Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and former Sen. John Edwards, who are all Democratic presidential candidates, are afraid to renounce MoveOn.org and the ad.
Romney called MoveOn.org's ad "unacceptable and reprehensible" and praised Petraeus as "a great American."
Good for Mitt Romney! I'm so glad to see him take a principled stand on these shady characters who hide behind disreputable 527s, pretending that they aren't mere political operatives and party hitmen!
I'm so glad to see Mitt Romney condemning these 527s for the "unacceptable and reprehensible" behavior of questioning a soldier's service!
And I'm so very, very glad to see Mitt Romney, Man of Principle, calling out Clinton and Obama, and Edwards for their cravenly fear to renounce Move.On for its shameful attack on an American soldier!
The primary funder of an independent group that raised questions about the résumé of Sen. John F. Kerry during the 2004 presidential election has signed on to raise money for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's GOP presidential campaign…Perry has earned a reputation for his willingness to finance "527" groups. He gained notoriety for the $4.5 million he donated to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group of Vietnam War veterans who questioned Kerry's military credentials.
Mitt Romney's got to be one of the biggest, stupidest, most reflexively dishonest douchebags on God's green earth.
That alone should lock up the Gee Oh Pee nomination for him in 2008.
Glad to see you back, Ricky. And yes, a normal mortal would feel serious remorse over the lies they tell if they were of the same level as what trips out of Romney's mouth every single day. Is this why a B-school degree is pretty much a prereq for all national level politicians now?
