A reporter took issue with Romney's assertion that no lobbyists were running his campaign, leading to a heated exchange with the former Massachusetts governor at a campaign stop in an office supply store in South Carolina.
"I don't have lobbyists running my campaign," said Romney, who is seeking to win the state's primary on Saturday after taking this week's Michigan primary, keeping alive his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee for the November election.
"I don't have lobbyists that are tied to my ..."
Associated Press journalist Glen Johnson interrupted at this point to say that Ron Kaufman, one of Romney's top advisors, is a lobbyist.
"Did you hear what I said, Glen?" a clearly irritated Romney said. "I said, 'I don't have lobbyists running my campaign,' and he's not running my campaign. He's an adviser. And the person who runs my campaign is Beth Myers, and I have a whole staff of deputy campaign managers."
Kaufman is a registered lobbyist for Dutko Worldwide. His clients have included Fedex, Sprint Nextel, Union Pacific and United Health Care.

Lobbyists and Special Interests are destroying the country.
Any politician that has them in their inner circle needs to be exposed.

Reporters are actually supposed to question and call bullshit and NOT just parrot spin,lies and deceit.
Unfortunately that is pretty much all we've seen from the media.
I wish there was an army of Glen Johnson's holding these snakes to task.

2008 Top contributors list, Google it yourself.
Goldman Sachs $234,275
Citigroup Inc $178,200
Merrill Lynch $173,025
Morgan Stanley $170,350
Lehman Brothers $144,100
UBS AG $123,850
Bain Capital $123,150
These totals were given by "individuals" from those companies but do you really think Mitt will be much different regarding Wall Street than the current occupant who has these same people stacked in his administration? Hummmm...

he never said he had lobbyists runninghis campaign but was answering Glen Jonshit's accusation that he had a lobbyist that was on his management team that was running his campaign which was a lie. Glen is a fat retard who did not make sense. Of course Obama had ton of people running his campaigns which was the real issue here, and glen didn't want to hear this as he is a fucken sore fagget loser.

So basically you have lobbyists on your compain but don't put them on the management team and then you can say "I don't have lobbyists running my compain"! It's fucking pathetic, it really is! You've got to be a fucking idiot to buy that shit!
"list to what I'm saying"... that's almost like "do as I say not as I do" :-)
I guess he's just used to being told "Just keep repeating it Mitt and they'll believe it" :D

So... "This guy is not running my campaign," when in fact he isn't running a campaign, is a lie? Please.

FOX is always polite with GOP candidates, which is the reason I don't watch FOX. Reporters should be independent and ask hard questions or bring up points that the candidates may not want to discuss. That's their job. I support Glen Johnson's tactics!

It is the job of a journalist to bring out questions that the candidate may not want to talk about. Journalists should not be the jeering section for candidates. For that, go to Fox News. I want independent journalists who are not supportive of any one candidate.
I support Glenn Johnson for letting the sun shine on Romney's words.
Obama said lobbyists would not be part of his administration. Then he appointed a Monsanto shill to the USDA and a Monsanto VP to the FDA as Food Czar.

Argument is the only path to the truth. Since when is lobbying puffballs the accepted practice?
Factually baseball glove is a Leveraged Buyout Guy.
Factually, the LBO industry spent many millions of dollars and many many meetings with advisors and yes lobbyists in order to re-name themselves "Private Equity" which is hilarious as a majority of the money in PE investments is sourced Publicly.
Romney has a huge ego, and has been running for president his entire life,that is not suspicious?
