Romney's Israel fundraiser press ban violates
Posted: Jul 28, 2012
Looks like we have another W-style hate-hate relationship brewing between Mr Bean and the press. So much for transparency.
This just out of Jerusalem. Romney’s campaign announced Saturday that it would block the news media from covering a scheduled fundraiser, which will be held at the King David Hotel. The campaign’s decision to close the fundraiser to the press violates the ground rules it negotiated with news organizations in April, when Romney wrapped up the Republican nomination and began opening some of his finance events to the news media.
The Romney camp refused to give a reason for the abrupt about face (AS IF we can't figure this out without their help). Despite repeated requests for an explanation, campaign spokesman Rick Gorka would only allow, “That’s all I’ve got for you — it’s closed press.” Guess Adelson doesn't take too kindly to Kodak moments. He's currently under a cloud of suspicion, generated by none other than Senator John McCain, for using foreign money to buy elections.
The report did mention Romney's history of "delivering different messages" to his donors when reporters are not present to hear them, remembering the hot-mic disclosure at a closed-press fundraiser in Florida that he would dramatically downsize the Department of Education and eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Keep 'em coming, Mitt. Scorekeepers rarely sleep.

No, wait. What's that up ahead? Sharp U-turn. - Oh snap!
[ In Reply To ..]He's deigned to allow a select few reporters to enter the inner sanctum. New day, new flip-flop. Another rock-and-a-hard-spot moment for the Romney campaign.
The question of the day would be which approach would be more damaging? A shroud of secrecy, a ginormous gaffe or a hot mic policy reversal? Confidence building self-help tapes err on the side of the appearance of a foreign money infusion scandal cover-up, a practice Senator McCain has suggested is status quo for Adelson.
Go for it, Mr Bean!
he's one step away from "Telfon Don" status - unbelievable (!)

[ In Reply To ..]No fundraiser in Israel for Romney, Sunday was a Jewish day of fasting...so guess who couldn't come? Seems, they knew it was a fasting holiday when they scheduled this fancy expensive dinner.

Thus far, besides the fact that Romney has basically just thrown down the gauntlet to Iran (war..again..anyone?) and about half of the countries in the middle east is one statement in particular he made. In his speech he was talking about Egypt's new leadership and in doing so said, "Hopefully, this new government understands that one true measure of democracy is how those elected by the majority respect the rights of those in the minority." No doubt the republican party thinks they are a ...
