Non-story. And you can stick that Newsflash tag up your ass with walnuts, dumbass.

Overzealous staffer?

I don't give a shiat about politics in general one way or the other. I do, however, dislike bullshiat. And this one simple sentence:

Iowa state records show he was convicted on the sex charges in October 2006, months after leaving the Romney campaign.

Makes this a non-story. This is stupid, pointless shiat-disturbing, which I know is par for the course in an election year, but CMON.

So being able to build an effective team while judging character is a non-story.

Ok.

 
fnorgby [TotalFark] 2008-01-25 09:41:24 PM  
yeah, DNRTFA, but that doesnt mean he wasn't sexoffending *during* the campaing, just that he got convicted after leaving.

Raw story? More like "Regurgitated story from other sources, usually enclosed in an iframe, surrounded by ads and presented in a poorly designed website." I visited there once with internet explorer (rather than my usual Firefox/Adblock+/Element hiding helper/Noscript/hosts file combo) and resolved never to go back.

 
Tachikoma [TotalFark] 2008-01-26 12:35:04 AM  
I read that as Romulan at first. Made me think the story was far more interesting.

 
clod9 2008-01-26 12:35:08 AM  
additionally, i presume College Republicans need to resort to forcing people to have sex with them, so maybe this is a "non-story"

I met helped Mitt change a tire once...I watch a lot of porn...uh oh, that means Mitt would be a bad candidate?!??

These news stories are farking retarded!

\didn't really help Mitt
\\sick of this campaign already
\\\need to drop a deuce

 
Onager 2008-01-26 12:42:29 AM  
He couldn't have been a Republican. He's straight.

 
DrForrester 2008-01-26 12:43:58 AM  
"oiled his mitt?" That is the weakest metaphor ever. And Mitt Romney is the weakest presidential candidate ever. Overall, I rate your headline "weak."

 
NubianzWithAttitude 2008-01-26 12:44:29 AM  
The Iowa registry of sex offenders also shows that he was convicted of exploiting a minor

It's a wonderful story about a kindhearted and generous man, who gave a second chance to a convicted criminal so he could turn around a life of crime and help rebuild the shattered character of politics, one victim of circumstances and hard living at a time.

TFA:
West Des Moines police arrested Elliott while they were investigating the death of 7-month-old Alexis Gilbert, according to KCCI8-TV, found dead in her family's home where Elliott was staying. Elliott has been questioned, but not charged in relation to her death, which has been ruled a homicide. Gilbert's mother, Kristina, is 16 years of age, and her family has refused to explain Elliott's relationship to the family, according to the Des Moines Register.

7+9=16

He was farking 15 year old girls. AAWWW RITE

Where's Mitt's 10th wife? shouldn't he have a brood of kids and a bunch of wives that keep nagging him?

Then why hasn't he thrown himself yet?

oops, hit submit before i finished.

/he should have something in his closet to bring out
//doesn't care just as long as someone who can actually run the country can get in and maybe fix it all.

blkhwk86: Then why hasn't he thrown himself yet?

Agreed. There's something phony and disingenuous about him. Really, all of them. But especially him. I don't buy the act.

Can someone translate this from wingnut into English for me?

 
Hickory-smoked 2008-01-26 02:21:55 AM  
sigdiamond2000: Can someone translate this from wingnut into English for me?

An aide to Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell got busted in an internet sting, allegedly trying to hook up with a 13-year old for the ghey sex.

... Which is creepy and wrong by any standard, of course, but I'm not sure how Chimpsky managed to get from there to "attempted rape" of a "ten year old boy." I guess that's just wingnut psychology for you.

So, Romney is trying to shore up Democratic support?!?

 
JohnBigBootay 2008-01-26 04:17:35 AM  
Darius Harris: Well that story was kind of vague and uninformative. I don't see a connection to the Governor's campaign for President. Is there one?

Only that they are members of the same party and the sex offender was hired to work on Romney's campaign likely because of his experience with the college Republicans. So there's no connection really - it's sort of like you don't really have a connection to your parents.

 
Moray 2008-01-26 04:33:11 AM  
If your not married it is against the law to have sex in DC

22-1002. Fornication.
If any unmarried man or woman commits fornication in the District, each shall be fined not more than $300 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both.

It is legal to sleep with 16 year olds in DC.
Catch -22, make sure your married.

No kittens were harmed reading this thread.

 
Monkey's Knuckle 2008-01-26 05:41:57 AM  
If minors were invoilved, maybe it's part of some "no child left behind" kind of a deal.

 
Mobro4000 2008-01-26 05:44:25 AM  
that settles it! i'm not voting for this douche. thanks, the raw story.

 
Arcanum 2008-01-26 08:41:33 AM  
I've heard of pandering, but if Mitt thinks he can out sleaze Hillary, he's got another thing coming!!! You'll have to do more than hire a sex offender, you'd have to marry a rapist to be on par with her!!!

/no I am not serious

 
Observatory 2008-01-26 08:46:32 AM  
Why doesn't the media ever talk about Romney's gay son? I thought gay was incompatible with Mormonism?

And you say that based on what? Do you know what he was convicted of exactly or are you jumping to conclusions? People pissing in a park can become "convicted sex offenders" and the article clearly says he's of low risk.

 
goobergal [TotalFark] 2008-01-26 10:58:50 AM  
xploiting a minor and given a "low" risk assessment. ftfa

Ummmm normal guy....nothing to see here. MOVE ALONG

BTW he can exploit me if he wants to :)

 
scott-ty 2008-01-26 11:02:13 AM  
Branded a sex offender for life because he was porking a 16 year old girl.. mmmmm fark what you bleeding hearts think, that is just wrong... totally wrong. Oh well,nuff said.

B-b-but!

If it makes you feel any better, Ted Bundy was a Republican Party fundraiser, and he looked like GWB. Suck it.

Doesn't Hillary have a sex offender presently working for her?
