Investigations are taking place in regards to the origin and instigator of a recent political phone poll taken in Iowa and New Hampshire involving Mitt Romney's religious beliefs, and the lack of a military background as opposed to war hero John McCain.
BE CAREFUL MITT, THE GOP IS CAPABLE OF ANY DIRTY TRICK...JUST ASK MAX CLELAND, OR JOHN "SWIFT BOAT" KERRY.
WE HAVE ALSO HEARD THE GOP WILL EAT THEIR YOUNG.
As part of the poll, which began Sunday, callers have been asking voters in Iowa and New Hampshire whether they know that Romney is a Mormon, that his five sons did not serve in the military and that Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is superior to the Bible. The callers also inquire whether voters are aware that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, accepted deferments to avoid military service in Vietnam while he was on a mission with other young Mormons in France.
At the beginning of the 20-minute survey, voters are asked whether they are aware of McCain's decorated military service during Vietnam. That has led many voters to assume the poll was sponsored by the Arizona senator's campaign. But McCain's campaign immediately denounced the effort and insisted it had nothing to do with it."Whoever did this wanted to hurt us by implication," said Mark Salter, a senior aide to McCain. "That's why we were very forceful."
"Whichever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and to put it bluntly un-American," said Romney communications director Matt Rhoades. "There is no excuse for these attacks. Gov. Romney is campaigning as an optimist who wants to lead the nation. These attacks are just the opposite. They are ugly and divisive."
