Fed up with an inept and self-destructive GOP apparatus in Nevada, the Republican National Committee and the Mitt Romney campaign have decided to erect a “shadow state party” in this critical swing state. After a botched primary in February and the Ron Paul victory in Sparks, the Nevada GOP is severely split and Mitt Romney is not waiting for it to get back together.

Romney has selected Ric Grenell as his foreign adviser who is also gay. Grenell is well qualified but due to the recent political climate on gay marriage, the Romney camp has not been letting Grenell speak out on foreign issues. Romney has been getting a lot of heat from the religious right for hiring an openly gay person. Because Romney is a Mormon, the religious has been for more strict on him than on any other Presidential hopeful. Grenell has resigned from the Romney camp.

In 2010, Romney did not own property in Massachusetts but voted for Scott Brown in the special election to replace Ted Kennedy. Romney listed as his place of residence his son's unfinished basement. According to Massachusetts law, a residence for voter registration purposes as “where a person dwells and which is the center of his domestic, social, and civil life” and anyone found guilty of committing voter fraud faces up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Top Romney aide, Eric Fehrnstrom, compares Romney's campaign policies to an etch-a-sketch. “I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.” Republican opponents have been using this comment to to reinforce their attacks on Romney saying that he will change his policy positions just to get ahead.

Edward Roderick Davies was Ann Romney's father and died in 1992 after living as a staunch atheist all his life. Recently-discovered records show that, in keeping with their controversial tradition of posthumously Baptizing non-Mormons, a ceremony was held to invite Mr. Davies into the Church of Latter Day Saints one year after he died.

From 1984 to 1999, Romney was CEO of a company called Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm. The firm's main focus is on selling various management and business model techniques to both failing and start-up companies in exchange for large sums of money.

Bielat compares Short people to Gays when referencing DADT

Where are the people standing in front of the White House, the short guys standing in front of the White House? You don't see it. We understand that there's no absolute right to serve in all these other areas

Scott Brown acts completely unconcerned that a man flew a plan into a Texas Federal Building and dismisses the event by saying,"Nobody likes to pay taxes"
Yeah of course its extreme, you dont know anything the individual he could have had other issues. No one likes paying taxes obviously. But the way we are trying to deal with things in the past, at least until I got here, is there is such a log jam in Washington and people want us to do better
