Democrats seeking information on Romney
Democrats seeking information on Romney
December 30, 2005

BOSTON --The Democratic National Committee has made public records requests to virtually every agency in state government seeking "any and all records of communication" involving Gov. Mitt Romney.
(snip)

The research is standard in modern political campaigns, as candidates or parties try to find controversial, embarrassing or previously undisclosed information about a politician's past.
(snip)

Romney's communications director, Eric Fehrnstrom, said fulfilling the requests from the Democrats wills cost tens of thousands of dollars.

"Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for the Democratic National Committee to put its dirty tricks attack squad to work against Mitt Romney, so we'll bill them for it," Fehrnstrom said.

2. DNC "dirty tricks attack squad"
:rofl: Oh how I wish we actually had one of those! I seems like the only folks most Democrats attack are fellow Democrats. A dirty tricks attack squad that actually attacks Republicans would be nice.

3. It shouldn't cost a dime.
The state should fire Mr. Romney, then rehire him at a lower wage, thus saving the tens of thousands of dollars they say it will cost to fulfill the records requests. :think:

6. Democrats seek records on Romney, others
http://www.sacbee.com/24hour/politics/story/3018426p-11709003c.html

The Democratic National Committee requested public records from state agencies on their dealings with Gov. Mitt Romney, who may run for president in 2008. His spokesman called it the work of a "dirty tricks attack squad."
The DNC is seeking similar records on at least 10 other potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, spokesman Luis Miranda said.

The letters dated Dec. 7 ask for "any and all records of communication" and are signed by Shauna Daly, who provided a post office box in Washington as her address.


Miranda confirmed to The Boston Globe that Daly is employed by the Democrats as deputy research director. She had previously worked for the presidential campaign of John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina, and in other races.


dirty tricks--shit, any campaign would be doing the same-I'm sure that the RNC will start pulling files soon as well
