Romney camp stands by decision to appear with Trump after latest birther comments

Source: CBS

(CBS News) Mitt Romney's campaign stood by its decision to use Donald Trump as a top surrogate even as the reality television host continues to insist President Obama was not born in the United States.

Romney is scheduled to appear at a Las Vegas fundraiser Tuesday with Trump, who made headlines last year with his "investigation" of Mr. Obama's birth certificate.
(...)
Today Romney adviser Kevin Madden said the candidate disagrees with Trump, but would continue to campaign with him.

"He'll stand up next to Donald Trump and he'll talk about why he wants to be president," Madden said in an interview on MSNBC. "Any time the subject goes off of that, where it's something where...Governor Romney would disagree, he's going to make that very clear. Just as he has in the past, and he'll do in the present, and he'll do in the future.";

I'm still waiting on Romney to express disagreement with this race-baiting liar - just as we're all still waiting on Trump's imaginary Hawaiian investigators to make their report.
Willard proudly embraces the racist, tinfoil hat wing of his party.

Up next, fundraisers with moon landing hoaxers, 9/11 troofers, people who think Elvis is still alive at Area 51, and assorted members of Stormfront and the KKK.

I really hope their fortunes dry up long before they do. And here's hoping they need someone to take care of them in their old age.

This will be great and I understand you can "win dinner" with them? WE SHOULD ALL ENTER....I think you do not need to donate to win. I can think of some dinner conversation they might not think so pleasant.

Obama has to answer for everything Jeremiah Wright, William Ayres and everyone he's ever met or seen have ever said or done, because liberal media. Romney cozies up to T Rump, but by some magical tacit agreement, everyone agrees that any of the less savory things said or done by the short-fingered vulgarian are totally off-limits and shouldn't be attached to Romney.

So they run for president. That's what looking at those pictures say to me. Trump, and Romney both have all the money they will ever need, but that's just not enough. Well go fuck yourself. You have more money right now in life than 99% of the population. Go the fuck home, nobody wants you.

Neither one of these parasites ever worked a day in their lives. If Trump didn't have Daddy's Money, he'd right now be working the night shift at a remote 7-11.

And the denouncement must come from the candidate himself, rather than a half-assed, vague reply from a spokesman, as he did with Nugent (and is trying again with Orly Trump).

Now!!!!!!!!!!

Y'know again and over again, and again, the crazed party of hell no will throw everything at Pres O, be a distorted truth or 99% of the time false and the corporate media will support it and spread it. If we are a Christian nation we sure doesn't act like one.

I don't care to associate with any Republicans any more. Anyone who would tolerate what has happened to the Republican Party isn't worthy of friendship. I am too close to the grave to compromise any longer in the name of civility.

Anyone with any sense of fellowship or civil responsibility would have bailed long ago. And I'm looking at you, Maine senators.

If I were dead and viewing from another plane, maybe this Repug clown car would be entertaining. But I'm here, and I just find it nauseating.
