Mitt's Meltdown

[1integrity]

so happy that the people are NOT BUYING into the millions of dollars of propaganda lying ads put out by romney 2012, and are now overthrowing the washington insider despite all the foxnews support! GO NEWT 2012!

[steroidcupcake]

mitt romney you phony two faced fuck. go the fuck away you and your moron religious buddies are ruining this country

[TheCakingGirl]

ron paul is our only hope

[bobbyraejohnson]

Mitt romney is such liar he doesnt know what a christian is

[eamonearly]

@ TheSonorama21.... LOL @ your shill Ron Paul comments. Those were all debunked 4 years ago as unauthorized nonsense propaganda pushed by a pro-israel media site because Ron Paul would cut all foreign aid which remove Israel from the teet of America. These corproate media outlets are scared Americans will WAKE UP and demand officials follow the Constitution and then demanding the immediate reform of POLITICAL LOBBYING. End the rigging. Reform the Republic NOW. IMPEACH!

RON PAUL 2012.

[TheSonorama21]

@eamonearly

Hey, I just despise him on a personal level. I would love to see him as president, but I would hate to meet him. Guy's only got a few years left in him though, so I'll ease up.

[GMSamuelRhine]

fuckin mormon idiot

[up2space]

mitt romney are you kidding me? this guy is a snake oil salesman

[BlizzagaLantean]

I lol'd.

This reminds me of when Clinton tried to explain for us what a sexual relation was so he could weasel his way out of his lie. xD

[samhellsup]

Save us Ron Paul!!!!!!!

[Sheldonwh]

@samhellsup Google "Ron Paul Newsletters" and then tell me if you want that racist homophobe to win.

[TheSonorama21]

Romney is an idiot. Ron Paul seems to stand for a lot of the things I believe in, except that he thinks fetuses have legal rights. At least I know Obama won't throw people in jail for family planning.

[Sheldonwh]

@TheSonorama21 Ron Paul stands for racism, sexism, and homophobia. Go read his Newsletters.

[TheSonorama21]

@Sheldonwh

Yeah, you're right. As a person, I think he's pretty despicable. But there are a few gold nuggets in his agenda.

[votingronpaul2008]

@TheSonorama21 Ron Paul is the only candidate capable of keeping what he "thinks" in terms of social justice (and zany agendas others pursue) from what he would engage in. As President he recognizes the duty of state governments for example.

Your fearmongering fails to confront his principled stance that freedom and liberty TRUMP every menial agenda and lobby -- 90% of such issues that should remain arbitrated by states and local municipalities.

[TheSonorama21]

@votingronpaul2008

It's an agenda. It may be one I largely agree with, but it is still an agenda.

He's written vile remarks in his newsletters, he believes that abortion is never needed to save a woman's life, and he's against gay marriage. Sure, these are all irrelevant because under his presidency the laws addressing these issues would be the states' responsibility, but I can still despise the man for his fucked up views, and you can despise me for doing so. I really don't care.

[votingronpaul2008]

@TheSonorama21 Yes but it is a consistent and logical agenda. No crazy surprises at least.

I will allow you to despise him so long as you recognize his liberty agenda is so sorely needed by our nation now that it trumps all of the things we might despise about his beliefs and viewpoints.

[TheSonorama21]

@votingronpaul2008

Hahaha, thank you for the permission... I certainly do realize the importance of his proposed political reform. In a time when America is up to its hairline in shit, nothing personal that I hold against him could matter as much as the way back to the surface.

[RobynHarris]

I guess it all depends on what Romney's definition of "is" is.

[Gioxtream]

Hey Romney !!!!

ARE YOU GOING TO END THE FEDERAL RESERVE? ARE YOU GOING TO CLOSE THE 900 MILITARY BASES AROUND THE WORLD? CAN WE USE THE PATRIOT ACT TO SPY ON YOU GUYS AND NOT THE PEOPLE?

WILL U REOPEN 9/11?

ARE YOU WILLING TO HAVE A SMALL GOVERNMENT SO LIKE THAT WE CAN KICK YOUR ASSES WHEN NOT DOING A GOOD JOB?

ARE YOU GOING TO END THE CIA (DRUG DEALERS)?IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO.THEN.Please. LET DR.RON PAUL BE OUR PRESIDENT. YOU WORK FOR WALL STREET. WAKE UP PEOPLE. WE ARE BEING LIE.

[OperationTailGunner]

Mitt Romney is lying....he is funded by Melvin F. Sembler, founder of Freedoms Watch, and the Republican Jewish Coalition (right-wing PAC connected to Israels Likud party)

[2011userman]

msnbc fair and unbiased news? bullshit, msnbc is a bunch of cowards and take cheap shots at GOP contenders, liberals are all the same it's just cheap shot after cheap shot. The anchor and the reporter were so smug and condescending in their approach, but they still were doing the same politics as normal approach. Cheat, lie, tarnish and step on as many throats as possible to get to the top.

[130hc]

Mitt Romney has ballpoint pens running his champign,What A TightAss :D

[condemned13]

Ron Paul 2012 for President We Don't Need An Asshole Like Romney.

[Nashhinton]

Mitt Romney will possibly do what Jospeh Smith never accomplished: Become president. Let's just hope that he never becomes president....

[DavidWarangel]

Dumbest news anchor moments. This window dressing mockingly wonders if there is a difference between "running a campaign" and "advising a campaign." Is there a difference between "running" a corporation and "advising" a corporation, i.e. difference between the CEO/executive management and a consultant/advisor? Hell yeah there is a difference, one with significant legal implications. And this idiot journalist, supposed professional with words, doesn't see a difference.

[VBGOD]

This is not a meltdown. 

[ehukai26]

Have you ever been grilled like this? How did you hold up? How do you feel when people what to make you appear a certain way to make you look bad? Do you defend yourself? We are all the sum of our parts, both good and bad. The balance is heavily in favor of the good for this man even after every legitimate criticism is considered.

[Ferrari328gtsi]

Let me see if I understand the reporters supposition. If a lobbyist rides on the plane with Romney and attends debate sessions that means the lobbyist is running Romney's campaign? The reporter and the MSNBC anchor both try too hard to get their gotcha moment when neither have a substantive position. The anchor's last statement, although beautifully enunciated, fails and reeks of desperation to create a controversy where none exists. "An extraordinary scene." Not.

[leftprotected]

MSNBC is siding with the dude on the floor? that's why MSNBC is, and always has been, a joke.

[faithisfiction]

Perhaps his magic underpants were too tight?

[pitbull103]

Mitt is slick. 

[MagnumFM]

Mitt the Twitt has learned much from the fraudulent MORON church, the church of LSD!

Lie, Mitt, lie!

[DTHOMAS3904]

Thats a meltdown?

[zjg5001]

"Ron Kaufman barely works for me! He gets my staffers coffee and donuts! I didn't even hire him! He just showed up one day and started sorting mail!"

[nrobyar]

One of the many reasons Romney will not get the nomination is his lack of control of his temper! Wouldn't want someone with this temperment to be commander-in-chief.

[skynug]

Utah's beautiful...when you don't see those blue eyed people.

[coldfireshot]

wow if he gets mad over this just think what will happen if he becomes president and gets mad

[InuvikPhil]

With media like this --- "oooh! ooh! an argument!!" -- it's no wonder things are fucked.

This journalist is a good example of what reporters should be doing.

[JohnMichaelRobinson]

interesting....

now you might think we ron paul supporters are crazy...

but what if he's right?

everyone do some research.

[daveP2492]

RON PAUL dude, only hope

[blues970123]

@daveP2492 the only hope for the republican party....if not him they are fucked for life. which is great.

[Sheldonwh]

@daveP2492 The only person in the running who might challenge the Mormons on their treatment of Blacks is Ron Paul. HE'S THE MOST RACIST OF ALL THE REPUBLICAN CHALLENGERS! Read the Ron Paul Newsletters (available online); and save all your excuses about how you don't think he wrote them, and how he wasn't aware of what they said. It went on for years and years. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, and has all you cult members to thank for his moderate success.

[killyertv0]

Who needs DC when you've got the tax-exempt, unincorporated, multi-billion-dolloar Mormon church heirarchy of corporate attorneys backing you? There is no separation of church and state in Utah.

[GoodbyBlusky]

That's a lie. I hate the American media. I watched the entire video, and the arguement ended there. It was his press secretary who said the reporter was unprofessional.

F***ing lying media.

[escupefuego1]

Do you know what Ron Kaufman (the Washington lobbyist mentioned in this clip) does??? He works to ensure that our hard earned American dollars support the United Nations!!! He works to siphon our tax dollars to support the corrupt U.N. organization that constantly votes against our interest and our allies. Also, don't be fooled, Kaufman is more important and influential than Romney would want you to think.

[prrolg]

Whats the problem with this reporter? I saw another vid of this where the Romney manager told him that he was being unprofessional. He was and its an understatement.

[fallman242]

You're wrong. Why would you think its unprofessional to aggressively question a candidate? That IS their job. When the press doesn't do its job, we aren't informed and we end up in untenable situations, like Iraq for instance.

[dudarambo]

The Mormon Church are $30+ Billion dollar industry... They boast of owning casinos (Nevada), Albertson's, Smith's, FredMeyers, Black&Decker, Marriott's... etc

[nmeboy18]

First, the Mormon church does not own casinos you dumbass. Second, what does your comment have to do with this video, or Mitt Romney being Mormon..? Nothing! Mitt being Mormon is a non-issue and no one cares about except bitter ex Mormons and ignorant radical

Evangelicals.

[killyertv0]

Bonneville Communications, wholly owned by the Mormon Church, is responsible for a majority of the pornography piped to the west coast, and you can't prove they don't own any casinos.

[nmeboy18]

From a non church owned website. Bonneville programming reaches an international audience through placement of programs, public service messages, and other services on stations throughout the world, with emphasis on values-oriented programming. Bonneville stations do not proselytize for the Church, and religious programming includes representation from all major religions. Bonneville and its divisions are taxpaying, commercial enterprises.

[nmeboy18]

Killyertv0- Where do you get your information from? I hope not the other sources of your crazy conspiracy theory videos. I am curious to know where you come off claiming that Bonneville pipes porno to the West coast because I have not been able to find anything about it. I think you are full of it.

[chaplinfan48]

I hate Romney but this is hardly a meltdown.

GO EDWARDS/OBAMA 08

[Aviator411]

Romney is an "in your face" liar.

Which is probably why the republicans will vote for him.

[SunnyDaysRFun]

In 1913 Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. warned as follows:

"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President [Wilson} signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized....the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."

-- "From now on, depressions will be scientifically created." --

Mitt Romney will support the Privately owned Federal Reserve

[prrolg]

You forgot to say vote Ron Paul.

[SunnyDaysRFun]

@prrolg... Oh yeah... I used up all the words so there wasn't enough room.

Vote Ron Paul 08' (ahhh, you've seen my quotes eh?)

[PELICANOCHILENO]

SunnyDaysRFun: Yeap. We are used to your R.P. quotes....Keep it up.

[martinking68]

I don't see how anyone who is being the least bit objective could call this a "meltdown". An AP reporter was being a jerk and Romney refuted his statements.

[Penguin367]

Johnson should have let him finish his second statement where he was saying "lobbyists don't have ties....." If Romney had finished that second statement with "to my campaign" then he really would have been caught in a lie.

[mordred612]

kaufman is not paid......yet!!!! if romney became president then he would get paid big time with our tax dollars. romney can't win.

[mordred612]

in this video romney is lobbying for staples.

[Hugothedog5]

Lobbyist only advise; politicians in Washington work the citizins... Right.

WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

[flattopFX]

Romney has received more endorsements and more money from K street lobbyist than any other Republican.

[CynicalSavior]

Really listen to what Mitt is saying. "He's not running my campaign Glen, he's an adviser."

Tell us Mitt,

What kind of "advice" does a lobbyist give???

[leroysdad1]

Thanks Mitt! Why not be as dedicated to the wishes of "we the people"? We are interested in too high taxes, quit trying to be the worlds policeman, quit building a empire, stop illegal immigration, lower tax rates, less government interference in our personal lives, free trade,

Please address these issues and everything that is asked you honestly and with integrity as Dr. Ron Paul does.

[Nanohachan]

GLEN IS A FAGGOT

[y0buddy]

wow...is that how all Mitt supporters think?

[abcpools]

well yes, and your point is???

[gravyfury]

Ummm this is titled "melt down" if thats what you consider a meltdown I have a lot of people I want to introduce you to that will maybe broaden your horizons. And Mit is not "busted" as funk mastery said he was correct. He doesn't have a lobbyist running the campaign. Do you have corn cobs between your ears son?

[Funkmasterizzy]

Reporter just nailed him. Busted, Mitt.

[disneyer]

Romney doesn't have lobbyist running his campaign..........BULLSHIT, his top advisor is a lobbyist that doesn't have any say with his campaign???? GIVE ME A BREAK

[CTTBA]

Wonder if he will get away with murdering someone in his front yard, like Marvin Bush did? Ever heard of Bertha Champagne? People who believe in the political process of these 'soft money funded' rich bastards are deluded. Why don't they talk about the real issues, the $9 + trillion of debt the U.S. is in? Why does the U.S. borrow from China, a communist country, when you can't even go to Cuba or buy a Cuban cigar here?

[leviaking]

woah! cleanup in the ball point pen aisle!

people here are saying that the reporter was rude. newsflash-- reporters aren't paid to be polite! they're paid to get the truth, so it's no wonder this guy is a little brusque when he's being lied to. reporters have been cowed into submission throughout the Bush administration. finally, a reporter with some balls! three cheers for Glen Johnson, a true American indeed!

[stevesan]

i second that. when did the US people become so damn castrated, thinking that everyone needs to be polite to everyone all the time? sometimes the truth is tough to take, and sometimes getting that truth is even harder. politeness, although important in everyday life, shouldn't prevent anyone from finding - or listening to - truth.

[CharlieStarkweather]

I wish more reporters in the mainstream media had the balls this guy does. Way to go Glenn. Romney is a lying sack of crap.

[eks1966]

Romney's defense is that he doesn't pay Kaufman. This is really exactly the problem; Kaufman is paid by a lobbying firm to represent the interests of private corporations. The U.S. is supposed to be a democracy, not an oligarchy.

[stevesan]

w0rd to that.

[masnip]

The CBS tape shows what happened after. Those who think the reporter isn't an ass need to watch it. The guy really is a complete jerk.

[garpswelt]

SOrry, Romney is the ass clown in this exchange. He got caught in a lie, knew it and then tried to take it out on the reporter. If you can't see it that way, you're either a Romney shill or need your eyes checked! I guy in the right doesn't so completely lost it like Romney did. Nice try at the revisionist spin, though.

[weefout]

The reporter was rude and Mitt is liar.

[junkradio]

The reporter was bang on, if only all reporters were like that.

[dyodon]

Mitt is NOT a liar, and Glen was lucky not to get punched out. There IS a difference between a non-paid friend advisor and a paid campaign supervisor. This jerk was just trying to get a reaction from a candidate. How would Clinton have reacted?

[stevesan]

and a reaction he got.

does the fact that he's a non-paid friend make you feel better about this? explain to me how that makes this OK.

to me, i would feel better if Romney actually paid the guy! then at least maybe the guy is working with Romney just because he's getting paid to, not because he wants to influence a likely future President and use him to impose his will on US policy.

[weefout]

Dude...he you don't have money and you are a political hack you get paid. If you are a wealthy lobbyist you become a senior advisor. The senior advisors have the influence and the hacks do the work. Mitt was lying. BTW is he prochoice or anti-abortion? Is he for gun control or not? Answer..depends on the election

[balzenschaft]

Mitt should have just pushed the "Easy Button."

"Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe." - Thomas Jefferson

[mpetrie]

"Mitt's meltdown"? This reporter brings up a question that assumes lobbyists have a major influence in Romney's campaign? The guy's an unpaid advisor and a personal friend of Romney. But he is not part of the senior management of the campaign nor is he in their strategic meetings. The reporter is trying to make lobbyists more of a factor in Romney's campaign than they really are. Typical biased liberal media reporting.... they're out to get Mitt and Mitt showed him up.

[dannyfc25]

Oh man.!!!!! MMMMMMM hmmmmmmmm I am biting my tounge because I like Mike, but I just want to thump this Mitt mmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Thank you Glen Johnson, you are a true American.

my new slogan? "America would rather have a President that reminds them of the guy they work with, not the guy they want to beat up!"

Dan Campbell

[jbingham007]

That reporter dude might as well be Micheal Moore

[jbingham007]

I like how the begin with the sensational, "An extroadinary scene unfolded". Hah! Give me a break. Way to speak your Mind. And Damn right I'd be upset too if I was accused of something that wasn't true. In fact, that is when most people get the most upset. Only, the guilty got get upset. Look at OJ in Court!!

[jbingham007]

This crap pisses me off!! Typical reporter crap trying to create doubt and make honest guys look dishonest for publicity sake. They only want ratings!! Romney is a class act all the way. He has marched for civil rights, has donated to charity and has turned business around.

[hornybodhisattva]

MITT ROMNEY IS A FUCKING LIAR AND COWARD why would he get so defensive if he has nothing to hide

that guy asking the question is a true reporter "SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER!"

MITT ROMNEY "MAGIC PANTIES-UNDERPANTS"

[jbingham007]

I totally believe him and I don't think he acted out of hand at all. This is typical media crap!! GO ROMNEY!! Way to speak up for yourself!! L

[researchin]

- States that he is not affected by special interest groups, although he was the beneficiary of an early fundraiser held by the Dutko Group, a Washington-based lobbying firm. He receives the third most campaign donations from lobbyists (after Clinton and McCain).

[researchin]

- Allowed 4 illegant immigrant sanctuary cities to thrive in Massachusetts , now claiming to be against illegal immigration.

- Although states that he reduced taxes as Governor, savings were offset by increasing fees by $500 million in four years.

[derekwied]

Mitt Romney is a cold, calculated zealot. Did you hear him in one of the debates defending medical companies?? He's an elitist jerk and when he has to say something that isn't scripted he faulters every time. And Glen was not unprofessional... he was trying to find the truth out for us Americans and rude or not, sometimes the truth is shocking and evokes emotion. If anyone was rude it was his staffer and Romney is a coward.

[LordKaisen]

@derekwied 3 years out, you still defend Glenn?

[Bbenbb]

MSNBC is about as radical liberal biased as AP news. It's not surprising they spin it this way. A lobbyist is indeed running McCain's campaign.

[leviaking]

MSNBC is "radical liberal biased"? WTF? would this be the same MSNBC that refused to let Dennis Kucinich in their Las Vegas Democratic debate, and went so far as appealing to the highest court in Nevada to keep him out? Give me a break you O'Reilly cadet.

[tiannam117]

That was awesome Mitt!

Keep up the great work on defending the truth!

Mitt Romney 2008!

[FormerMALiberall]

"That was awesome Mitt!

Keep up the great work on defending the truth!"

THAT WAS AWESOME TIANNAM117!!

KEEP UP SHILLING FOR MITT AND HIS CONSTANT LIES AND FLIP FLOPS! (how stupid do you think people are not to see through the lying, pandering fraud that is Mitt Romney!???)

Fuck Mitt in 2008! (tiannam117 would sure like to!)

[kneelio321]

hey how's the view up your ass?

[hornybodhisattva]

mitt romney is a fucking sham, lyer religios wacko that want to turn the USA INTO A THEOCRACY!

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS TIANNAM117

or should I say "get you magic undepanties out of your ass!"

[tiannam117]

Romney wins Nevada with over %50 of the vote!

[SunnyDaysRFun]

@tiannam.. Ok, Mitt wins, why do you think that is good? Will he support the constitution and kill the war and the Patriot Act, and the privately owned Federal Reserve? I know that:

Ron Paul 08! Will support the constitution.

[tiannam117]

Romney will support the constitution.

[SunnyDaysRFun]

@tiannam... You think Mitt will support the consitution? Show me where he says that, or talks about it, or talks about killing anything that is unconstitutional? eh?

[killyertv0]

Romney already said on national TV he "would consult his attorneys". That isn't a leader, but a puppet for the church heirarchy filled with attorneys who will "advise him".

[LocalTuffGuy]

Where's the meltdown? 99.9% of people would react much, much worse if someone kept accusing them of doing something they didn't do.  Mitt Romney was calm and defended himself appropriately. Pretty classy, actually.

[actorsinc]

every voter who votes for this guy deserves to be robbed of all of their money at the point of mickey mouse's ears.

[5M1L3]

If that is a melt down I want to have one and I hope Mitt has a lot more of them. Speaking of down who was it that was down on the floor. That reporter was totally out of line, sitting on the floor like a slouch, and inturrupting the speech rather than waiting to ask questions at the end. Romney can set him straight any day of the week as far as I am concerned.

[AlecHidell]

Romney has major lobbyists as senior advisors and he's throwing out sound bites that his campaign isn't run by lobbyists simply because that line polls well.

I'll take a slouching reporter who's doing his job to point out inconsistencies over a slicked back full of $hit politician any day of the week.

[caseygm70]

Good for Mitt! Investigative reporting is good, but that reporter was extremely unprofessional.

[libsmacker75]

You're a weak Romney shill if you think that reporter wasn't doing his job. Would we have known Romney had a lobbyist at his elbow had the reporter not brought it up? Besides, Romney was the one dumb enough to raise lobbyist support of other candidates when he himself employs them too.

[caseygm70]

He can do his job without being rude. That reporter was laughing while Romney was answering. You can be a hard-hitting investigative reporter and still act respectfully. Woodward and Bernstein would never behave like that.

[BruceDude1982]

come on, what does the lobbyist even lobby for any ways? I think that's more important than the argument. why does anyone think this is a meltdown? MSNBC is desperate to make romney look bad.

[thomas196x2000]

Your totally right Bruce. Funny how the libs had nothing to say about the guy until he starts to get hot.  Some meltdown. But Shrillery screaming her head off, that's not a meltdown. That's personal, right?

[btinder711]

Sexist asshole

[thomas196x2000]

Reporter? We need more of those guys? Little fat whiney turds on the floor? Maybe he's jealous of someone who is smarter and better looking than he is. Geez, why do all whiney libs look like this guy!

[logansGT]

Slick Romney - Just another politician talkin' out of both sides of his mouth.

I'm suprised that he didn't tell the reporter "it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

[frater0]

That was the best reporter I have seen ever.

[ohlhaver]

Great reporter! Need more of these.

[camrydabomb]

Okay, Romney is right in his point that he "doesn't have a lobbyist running his campaign." But, for god sakes, one of his senior ADVISOR'S is a lobbyist. Now, although what he said is technically true; the fact remains, it would be ignorant to believe he or his campaign is not affected by lobbyist.

[citystreets8]

Mitt is a nasty, slick person.

[vorosfold]

McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, is a former lobbyist.

[vorosfold]

McCain — the target of Romney's original comment about lobbyists — had frequent dealings with lobbyists when he was chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

And McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, is a former lobbyist.

I repeat, McCain's campaign manager is RUNNING McCain's campaign!!!!!

[vorosfold]

McCain — the target of Romney's original comment about lobbyists — had frequent dealings with lobbyists when he was chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

And McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, is a former lobbyist.

I repeat, McCain's campaign manager is RUNNING McCain's campaign!!!!!

[medparadise]

F the national media. Mitt 1 - Media 0

[vorosfold]

Mitt's the man! Johnson was wrong.

Mitt's point was that lobbyists don't run his campaign. I believe McCain's campaign director is a (current or former) lobbyist.

It was to this (running-the-campaign statement) that caused Johnson to be disruptive and interrupt the press conference.

Very bad behavior from a "professional" reporter.

[CLACKEY573]

That reporters father should of taken him behind the wood shed when he was a boy and whooped his butt! Obviously trying to cause an issue. Romney has 5 boys of his own. He knows how to handle a brat! He handled the heckler reporter nicely.

Great job Mitt!!!!

[landrover1515]

This is reported as a "Campaign Alert." I wonder what constitutes "Breaking News?" Just laughable that this is considered an "alert."

Thank you MSNBC! I stand alerted.

[landrover1515]

Heated? Romney handles questions as well as any of the candidates. "Advisor" does not a manager make. This reporter is clearly tyring to drum up controversy on Romney. The best he can do is by saying a lobbyist/advisor is the same as a lobbyist/manager. Romney doesn't skirt the issue. He admits to an advisor relationship & friendship with the lobbyist but rightly denies that the lobbyist is "running" the campaign. Kudos to Romney.

[HiveRadical]

Seeking to catch people in their words. If we followed Glenn Johnson around and studied all his words one wonders what he could be called on.

Romney's right, there is a difference, a major difference, in the semantics and ultimate meaning. To dismiss such is to do a classical DBM hit job.
