Busted: Mitt Romney’s Campaign Caught Collaborating With Karl Rove's American Crossroad

ABC just obtain a leaked document that the details the guest-list and program for Mitt’s highly secretive retreat in Utah this weekend. This is how they described the event:

..............................

This is quite a little party he has going on. The most newsworthy issue I see is in this paragraph:

“Then, “Media insight” will feature Romney counsel and longtime GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg; Fred Barnes and Kristol, editors and co-founders of The Weekly Standard; GOP strategist Mary Matalin; and Bush strategist and American Crossroads founder, Karl Rove."

Karl Rove is developing media strategies on behalf of American Crossroads and the Romney campaign?
Think about this for a second...

Karl Rove has been running millions of third party ads against Obama. Romney claims he has no control, knowledge or involvement with his group but he develops a panel with:

1. The Romney Campaign
2. The Founder of American Crossroad
3. Two Employees from the Weekly Standard
4. Three Employees from Fox News
5. One employee from CNN

...to work on a media strategy?

What?

Seriously?

We need to make him eat this!!!

1. Soooo...

It is not enough that they have created a fund which is a money sink for billionaires, now they have to cheat at it too. Great.

[kardonb]

15. soooo

you are not surprised , are you ? These folks have a patent on every dirty trick there is , and ae inventing new ones every day .

[Xyzse]

20. A little bit surprised

I mean, I am surprised that Limbaugh is not involved in all this, or the Kochs(remain to be seen) or others.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised that Limbaugh is not involved, that lardmaster doesn't really care to participate in politics other than getting(not giving) money and mouthing off.

2. Ben Ginsberg. Worked for Swift Boat Vets -and- Bush/Bush Campaign

Real history of this type of bs.

[Doctor_J]

3. why would Willard bother to deny it?

nothing will come of this. When you say "we should make him eat this", who do you mean by 'we'? Plouffe was on with Miss Piggy a few days ago, and she was spouting Rove talking points, and he failed to call her on it. We have no media access, so if Romney rapes a 7-year-old on one of his lawns, no one will hear about it.

[Gore1FL]

4. It's illegal.

That would be a good reason to deny it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. and has Rove's fingrprints alllll over it..

cause that's the kind of guy Rove is..sneaky.
But gotta admit he is a master at manipulation.
If only he would use his pwers for good....

[Doctor_J]

9. and who would investigate/prosecute, or even expose it?

[progressoid]

24. Exactly.

Even if it were investigated (which would take months, if not years), then what would happen? Slap on the wrist. Maybe a small fine.

Big fucking deal.

[zeemike]

5. I agree that nothing will come of this.

Besides the laws governing it are so weak it would be impossible to prove they were coordinating anything.
the only media we have is right here on this inertube....but they can and do dominant all other media and can shape things just as they please.

[Bandit]

8. Wasn't this done in the past..it's past..we need to move forward.. forgive and forget

How is this any different than torture or Lies used to launch an Offensive unnecessary War?

[evilhime]

10. And this is a surprise why?

I would have expected nothing less . . . we all KNOW this is going on the only thing this information does for us is confirms what we already suspected or knew. Forewarned is forearmed . . . the good thing is it's more public knowledge now.

[AlinPA]

11. It's OK if the GOP does it. Nothing will happen, they will just get more money.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

12. Unless the Rove/Koch/GOP-controlled media calls this out...

....it will sink into oblivion and the general public will never see it.

You KNOW they're not going to broadcast this - the US propaganda machine doesn't work that way.

[h2ebits]

13. Get the word out through social media of any sort

Posted to my Facebook wall:
Oh, yes, here's a great illegal ploy. Where money is the only thing that speaks, We the People must really understand that we are in a war to KEEP our country. This is not a conservative or liberal agenda--it is truly a completely different type of government that is abusive to the citizens of our wonderful country and all of its diversity.

Regardless of political affiliation, we all need to stand up and fight for our country.

14. h2ebits

your post is
BRILLIANT!!!

peace, kpete

[Iliyah]

16. My understanding is that this against

Citizens United rules but y'know that the GOP because they don't following rules now laws, they are the "MASTER RACE".

[ecstatic]

17. I know the media won't act, and elected officials probably won't either but

is there anything regular citizens can do? Like a lawsuit or something?

[bupkus]

18. Call Nancy Pelosi

Maybe she'll have Rove arrested this time.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. Punishment will be swift and certain. nt

[Canuckistanian]

21. I'm sure the FEC will get right on this

They focus on illegal campaign tactics like a laser.

[Tigress DEM]

22. Is there any way to prosecute this crap? Ah... AG Holder.

[freshwest]

23. Why don't they send some of that $$$ to the Democratic Party? After all...

[annabanana]

25. Silly kpete. These laws have NOTHING to do with the people running for office. These laws are just

things to POINT AT and say "See? Everything has to be on the up and up, It's the LAW"

[kpete]

26. i do tend

to be too idealistic....

and
i used to think laws were meant to be followed...
and i still believe the constitution is a sacred document
which has been spit upon by the GOP too many times (gagging now)

Oh, but yes, Obama too crosses the line, (grrrrrrrrrr)

but when i ever i see ROVE's filthy paws,
i KNOW there is NO law
EVER he will not break to win.

His idea of winning is the Apocalypse his fans all talk about

Amercia Inc. Indeed




silly me is right, i still believe,

peace to you annabanana

27. Didn't Mitt say in the debates he would be going to "the big house" if this happened?

The orange jump suit is pressed and waiting, Mitt.
