Mitt Romney Watch: Romney Should Apologize About NRA Lie

December 16, 2007 /

Mitt Romney on Meet the Press Today calling on Mike Huckabee to Apologize to President Bush for criticizing his foreign policy

But, Mitt Romney lied again and this time to Tim Russert on Meet the Press about the National Rifle Association.

The Money Quote:

  • In answer to questions about whether he would sign an assault weapons ban, Romney said: “Just as the president said, he would have, he would have signed that bill if it came to his desk, and so would have I. And, and, and yet I also was pleased to have the support of the NRA when I ran for governor. I sought it, I seek it now. I’d love to have their support.”


Later in the interview, he added the following:

  • “I just talked about, about guns. I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA.”

The problem is the National Rifle Association has NEVER endorsed a Romney candidacy.

So, is this a GAFFE of the moment on Meet the Press? If so, then Mitt should apologize and move on.

Here is the video of Mitt on Meet the Press:

Or is this another in the series of lies, flip-flops and oddities like these:

Remember:

romneymittvsfactweb

Mitt Romney will say and do anything to be elected President. Flap will NEVER vote for Romney and would lead the GOP into a 40 plus state loss in November 2008.

And, isn’t Mitt being HYPOCRITICAL to ask Huckabee to apologize when all Huck did was express his opinion while Mitt told a deliberate falsehood?

Stay tuned…..

    Romney is not merely a flip-flopper, but a liar, and Judge Tuttman is not an isolated incident.

    During his campaign for Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney promised judicial reform for Massachusetts. The reality is he left the system more broken than it was before his term in office. Judge Tuttman is not an isolated incident. Governor Romney also nominated and pushed for the confirmation of Judge Mitchel J. Sikora to the Massachusetts Court of Appeals. When Romney did this, he was made personally aware by me that Judge Sikora had a track record of “outrageous” leniency toward violent criminals. By way of example only, prior to the judicial confirmation hearing, members of the public made Governor Romney personally aware that Judge Sikora had:

    ï‚· Acquitted the man who killed Jacqueline O’ Donald finding that, giving her the date-rape drug GBL was not “reckless or wanton” enough to sustain the charge of manslaughter because Dolan “did not know the drug was dangerous to the point of grave bodily harm.” (See Boston Globe article dated December 31, 2003, “Plymouth Man, 34 Cleared in Death”)

    ï‚· Released a rapist from the Treatment Center for the Sexually Dangerous in Bridgewater, over the strenuous objections of the Department of Corrections. Governor Cellucci called Sikora’s decision “outrageous.” Shortly after Judge Sikora released him, the rapist/pedophile was arrested for stalking girls with a rope, rock, and knife in his car, – his weapons of choice. (See Boston Herald article dated March 12, 1999, “Freed Mass. Rapist Arrested in UConn Stalking Incidents”)

    ï‚· Conducted Monty-Python type trials complete with jurors dressed in Halloween costumes. (See Boston Herald article dated October 31, 2004, “Judges Trick No Treat for Litigants”)

    The above are merely a few examples of the abhorrent behavior of Judge Mitchel Sikora. In spite of all that, Governor Romney elevated Judge Sikora to the higher courts. If Romney becomes president of America, we will see a callous disregard for the quality of the federal judicial appointments and the protection of the public.
