Romney: Santorum Hasn’t Been Vetted

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Conservative Byte

“Sen. Santorum hasn’t been as carefully viewed by the American public as have the others,” GOP hopeful Mitt Romney said at a campaign event in Michigan on Tuesday.

“Rick Santorum is now just being seen for the first time in many homes and his background and mine are very different,” he added.

    No, Romney has not been vetted. You’ve got it backwards, Romney. They’re attacking each other again and Obozo and the DemonRats are laughing and gaining from it. Romney is spending $55 million to attack Santorum just for a $200,000.00 a year job and secret service for the rest of his life. All he wants to do is put his perverted agenda into law just like Obozo. Or, does he just want the power. Again, what Romney is doing to Santorum I DO NOT like. Because that’s what the DemonRats do.

      OBAMA hasn’t been vetted! That should be the “vetted” issue.

    Romney is no Ronald Reagan, and never will be, period. In fact, he is the antithesis of Ronald Reagan and Reagan Conservatism.

    Both Newt and Santorum, are 1000 times the conservative Romney is.. 

    The only thing conservative about Romney, is the extent of his lies and liberalism compared to Obama himself, particularly after he publically denounced President Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics, calling himself a moderate Progressive establishment GOP Republican.

    Romney complaining that Santorum not being vetted, and ignoring his own non-vetting media love affair altogether, is all to Romney-esque..  Hypocrisy Romney and Obama style..  You gotta love it.. 

    Here’s the truth about the so called great CEO leadership at Cain Capital, Mr Romney- 

    “Romney’s Bain Controlled Company Linked to Medicare Fraud”
    27 Jan 2012, by Dave Eberhart – 

    quote- “Under Romney’s “supervision,” Bain purchased and ran the Damon Corporation, which pled guilty to Federal conspiracy charges — as a result of tens of millions of dollars in systemic Medicare fraud.

    When the dust settled after a consuming federal investigation, Damon was fined over 19-million, which was, at the time, the largest criminal healthcare fine in Massachusetts history.

    Romney’s participation was characterized in 1996 by Corporate Crime Reporter: “As manager and board member of Damon Corp, Mitt Romney sits at the center of one of the top 15 corporate crimes of the 1990’s.

    While the medical testing company went bankrupt, with thousands losing their jobs, Bain Capital captured a $12 million profit— over $450,000 of that money going to Romney personally.” -unquote

    No one in the media ever reports that, and the hundreds of other liberal corrupt practices about Romney, let alone his seedy and tawdry way he pushed Romneycare, a forced mandated State Socialized Medicine program onto the State and people of Mass., like Obama, benefiting the special interest groups and companies in the process, while bankrupting the State and tax paying residents.

    I say no too Mitt Romney! We don,t need you Mitt Romney!

  • Sashamanda

    The Medicare fraud cost Bain $119 million (you dropped a numeral). Over $35 million was a criminal fine. Good job, TeaPartyPatriot!

  • Ed

    I will vouch for Senator Rick Santorum. He was my representative in Pennsylania. THERE IS NONE BETTER RUNNING for president. Romney talks about someone not being “vetted” When are they ever going to talk about Romney’s racist and blasphemous views? Romney believes thet black men and women are indwelt by pre-existant evil spirits. Romney also believes that Jesus is the brother of the devil lucifer. Those two whacked beliefs alone , expose romney as a racist and blasphemer.

  • Chris Ikeri

    Mitt Romney your desperation, hypocrisy, faking and arrogance is palpable. By carrying-on as the presumptive nominee despite your abysmal conservative credentials, says it all.

    Just quit being disillusioned, there is no way you can BUY your way through, notwithstanding your malicious and ill-informed attacks on your MORE AUTHENTIC opponents. All will definitely be in vain. The earlier you (Willard) get this the better for you.

  • Sam

    Santorum was soundly defeated by the Pa voters for his liberal voting record and serious ethics violations. We have too much government now, no need for further big social projects that are favored by liberals like Santorum. They also trashed his pal Arlen Specter for the same reasons.

    • Chivis

      Sam,

      Stop lying about Santorum, God bless him and his family.

  • Patrick Henry

    I am very comfortable with Romney, he had been thoroughly vetted for years and has been endorced by Ann Coulter, as well as Santorum. Any of the Republicans that would beat Oblamer I am comfortable with, let’s get behind whoever is our nominee. I am also a member of the Tea Party………..let’s get more Liberals voted OUT and replace them with Conservatives in the House & Senate.

    • Tara Jane

      I’m also comfortable with Romney! He was vetted in 2008 by the MSM and now he’s been vetted over and over again by all the Republicans. How many times do we have to hear “anyone but Romney” – it’s ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned it’s Romney and the rest. He speaks of the Economy – he’s concerned about the lack of jobs in this country — I’m disgusted listening to Santorum who makes all Republicans look like a bunch of idiots – and I excuse Ron Paul and blame his rantings on his age – and Gingrich is great at debate but I do wonder about his substance.

  • The Truth

    Ahh Romney starts to panic. Well, we sure know what Romnney is – a self-proclaimed progressive and liberal and unfortunately for him he has been vetted and outed as such. His liberal policies in MA were no different than obama himself. Review his MA record for the turth about Romney, such as romneycare, gay marriage and his spending. We are also expected to believe that he can save our economy, his so-called strong suit, well just look at a few truths. Romney himself already said that he couldn’t do it in one term, he also stated that he would issue waivers to states for obamacare. The lack of a full repeal will continue to force tax payer dollars to those sates that decide they want obamacare and will cost us a fortune. Romney is no answer to any of our current issues. His past shows that he will do or say anything to get elected; not someone I trust nor want as my president. Yes, anybody but Romney!
