Mitt Romney’s Son Went to Russia With a Secret Message for Putin

Mitt Romney and son Matt, at right

The lies and false posturing of Mitt Romney never end.  While some in the media are wringing their hands whining that Obama has "goner negative" they continue to give a total pass to the easily documented lies of Mitt Romney.   Lest we forget, America was suckered into the Iraq War because of the lies of Chimperator Geoprge Bush and Emperor Palpatine Cheney.  Lies that could have been exposed had the mainstream media pulled its collective thumb out of it ass and done some hard hitting investigative reporting.  We are seeing the same failure of the old main stream media in the current 21012 elections:  it refuses to expose lies and to call out liars.  The last post looked at Mitt Romney's lies on foreign policy towards Israel.  In the same presidential debate Romney sought to depict Russia as the USA's principal foreign policy foe and made claims that  he'd "get tough on Russia."  Apparently, that message was intended only for American voters who Romney seems to view as simple minded cretins.  Via his son Matt who is in Russia soliciting investors, Romney sent a different message to Putin: I'd ddin;t really mean what I said about Russia or getting tough.  New York Magazine looks at the message Romney was actually sending to Putin.  Here are excerpts:

Mitt Romney has made a point throughout his campaign to refer, with teeth, to Russia as our country's "number one geopolitical foe" and promising to have "more backbone" than Barack Obama when dealing with the Kremlin. But that's all just bluster, says Romney's second-oldest son Matt, who made a sojourn this week to the former Soviet Union in search of investors for his real estate company. According to Matt's colleague, it was just a "harmless trip," but the New York Times has the juicy geopolitical gossip via an anonymous source:

 [...] while in Moscow, Mr. Romney told a Russian known to be able to deliver messages to Mr. Putin that despite the campaign rhetoric, his father wants good relations if he becomes president, according to a person informed about the conversation.

Now we're used to these rascals saying things they don't mean, but that sure sounds like some massive foreign policy undermining just days before the election. Can a grown man get grounded?

The Romney campaign has opted not to comment, but we can imagine Mitt's defense in his own words: "Look, I got five boys. I'm used to people saying something that's not always true and just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it." Who's getting fooled here?

Seriously, I believe that the most tawdry whore is a pillar of virtue and honesty compared to Mitt Romney.   I keep asking myself, are all Mormons this incredible dishonest?  Similarly, I keep wondering whether or not a majority of voters - or at least the non-racists among them - are stupid enough to believe anything Romney says.
