Romney gets big-time "dissed" [View all]

Romney gets big-time "dissed"

by teacherken

by Brian Fischer of American Family Association, the person perhaps most responsible for forcing Romney's hand on Richard Grenell, the openly-gay foreign policy spokesman who was frozen out because of fear of social conservatives, who therefore resigned.

You can take a look at this post at Right Wing Watch, which has the video, and from which I will quote the transcript they offer:

Fischer: Let me ask you this question, people have raised this question, if Mitt Romney can be pushed around, intimidated, coerced, coopted by a conservative radio talk show host in Middle America, then how is he going to stand up to the Chinese? How is he going to stand up to Putin? How is he going to stand up to North Korea if he can be pushed around by a yokel like me? I don’t think Romney is realizing the doubts that this begins to raise about his leadership. I don’t think for one minute that Mitt Romney did not want this guy gone; he wanted this guy gone because there was not one word of defense, not a peep, from the Romney camp to defend him. They just went absolutely stone cold silent, they put a bag over Grenell’s head, they even asked him to organize this phone conference and they didn’t even let him speak at the conference that he organized.

If Mitt Romney can be pushed around. . .How is he going to stand up . . .

Remember, this is a SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE saying this about Mitt.

Perhaps we should help make this go viral?
