Shane, I saw that interview too. Let’s just say that the Romney gang are glad Romney himself wasn’t in the hotseat!

Thanks for the link.

I saw the interview that his press secretary had with Chris Matthews on Hardball. They got nailed, and this is just the “little stuff” (in Matthew’s words) what is going to do with something major?

Values guy, that’s pretty funny. Well, maybe not funny, actually. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone. I distrust Romney because of his smooth talking. I kind of hope his ship does sink and Huckabee’s stays the course. Thanks too,Stefano for more info on the judicial record.

Have a blessed Christmas one and all,

Bob Hayton

Mitt Romney fli-flops, lies and endorses judges who lie. 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:

 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”)

 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”)

 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. The public record documents that Judge Sikora was untruthful during his confirmation hearing. In spite of his personal knowledge of that kind of record, Governor Romney elevated Judge Sikora to a higher court. 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.

Hey, none of us are perfect, and we cannot imagine the tension he has got to be under as he subjects himself to the limelight and always finds himself being attacked, and unfortunately, recorded. You hit it on the nose, he is a smooth talker and flip flops to score with the crowd, but that is not going to fly in this era because of how quickly we can disentangle his web of lies. He must learn to actually think before he opens his mouth. He is his own enemy, his own downfall. The ship has been damaged, and it is going down fast. No need for Hillary or Huckabee or anyone else to pump in the water, he’s capsized.

If you watch Romney’s explanation, i.e., he was an English major and we all misunderstood the word “saw” (which in itself is painful), and this quote from the Globe recounting his previous claim to have been there marching with his father and MLK,

“My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”

http://www.boston.com/news/nat.....ing_march/

This negates Mitt’s explanation. It demonstrates his stories change as he gets caught lying and his elaborate excuses contain lies in and of themselves. That he dredged up two people to say they saw it, but history never recorded it and nobody else in town remembers it, is part and parcel of the whole deception package.
