Going to the Romney Meet-up?




Here.

_____________________

UPDATE

... Romney adviser Dan Senor, who is intimately involved in the planning of the trip, confirms a William Kristol item earlier that the selection of the date — at which some Jews have taken offense as a lack of sensitivity — was very deliberate...

Kristol's report said:
During discussions about the trip over the last month, advisers to Romney and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the appropriateness of a Romney visit to Israel on this date. But Netanyahu, THE WEEKLY STANDARD has confirmed from top aides in Jerusalem and Boston, encouraged Romney to be in Jerusalem on this solemn day, one that recalls the tragedies of Jewish history and calls to mind current threats to the Jewish people.
"Governor Romney will be in Jerusalem during the Jewish holy day of Tisha B’Av," Senor said in an email. "What better way for the Governor to understand the opportunities and the threats to Israel than to be there on a day when the people of Israel and Jews around the world commemorate and mourn the destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem twice in their history. Indeed, Governor Romney hopes for this visit to be about remembering the past and looking to the future. With that, in addition to the meeting he will hold with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Governor is honored that the Netanyahus have invited the Romneys to the traditional break-fast meal following sundown after Tisha B’av.“

This event is cancelled. I wonder if Romney's campaign team is entirely the same campaign team that worked for candidate John McCain in 2008? Mitt Romney's campaign press secretary Andrea Saul worked for communications in 2008 McCain's campaign team. Why Romney would want the same team that worked for McCain in 2008 and lost?

All Romney has to do is talk to Beck or listen to his network and he will be will informed about the dangers that face Israel. Romney is so naive. His opponent's hardrive is wired for an Islamic caliphate, and backed by a billion muslims, they are going to take down Israel and the US and Romneys main concern is what they are saying about Bain Capital. Their diversions are bunny trailing Romney down useless ineffective trails. And to make matters worse El Rushbo is using his imaginary retarded friend in an attempt to communicate with intelligent voters. HIs main concern is for tax reductions for billionares... the only billionare voting for Romney will be Rush, and Rupert Murdock, the rest of them are voting for BO. Oh and Rush keep attacking entitlements, my ninty year old mother has been a republican all her life and is going to vote for BO based upon what you are saying. The last concern Rush will have if BO is elected will not be tax reductions for Billionares. He will be hunted down like a dog, he thinks he can go to New Zealand but their will be no safe place on earth for him if BO is elected. He should work on getting Romney elected and work out the details later. He needs to turn his program over to someone... like a anyone other than him. The US is suffering from Rush fatige. Tammy Bruce,or someone of her equivalent stature.
