Mitt Romney Won’t Weigh in on Chick-Fil-A or Bachmann’s Muslim Brotherhood Inquiry

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Friday refused to discuss on the ongoing Chick-fil-A saga or Rep. Michele Bachmann’s call for an investigation into whether the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the United States.

Bachmann (R-Minn.), along with four other House GOP members, sent letters to several top government departments in June calling for an inquiry into whether longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s family and other American officials have ties to the Brotherhood.

“I’m not going to tell other people what things to talk about,” Romney told reporters on the campaign trail in Nevada in response to a question. “Those are not things that are part of my campaign.”

Bachmann has come under heavy fire for raising the Muslim Brotherhood question, including from members of her own party such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) broke somewhat with his fellow GOPers last week when he defended Bachmann’s inquiry, saying “her concern was about the security of the country.” Romney has so far stayed away from the issue.

    Why talk about the economy when they can talk about (fill in the blank). When people don’t have a job and it does not look like you will get one anytime soon, it is hard to worry about MB infiltration and Chick-Fli-A gay marriage. When polled it is well down on the bottom so lets not worry about as no one else really does either.

      Mutiny is right. Romney should be BEGGING for a distraction because his tax return stuff is killing him in the polls. And now they are all talking about his tax plan blowing a hole in the budget

      Romney would have done well to at least throw us a bone. Chick-fil-a operates in the free market, Romney should be telling America that it is not the duty of government to make sure everyone gets along

      I am going to vote for Mitt, but it honestly does scare me. I do have doubts that his policies will be much different than Obama’s. I believe the ideology is different, and at least his is Pro-American albeit Big Government Pro-America….But at least pro-America.

      Another reason, and probably one of the biggest reasons to vote for him, even if his policies are similar…..he and the media can not throw out the race card when we are holding his feet to the fire….

      So you are voting for Romney because he is white? Look I dont think Romney has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected. If not because people are voting against someone and not for them. He has pushed away libertarians, he wont stand up for really any issue, and he has basically the same policies as Obama. That being said there are some people that will vote for Romney because he is white, or because he is Mormon. No different that the people who vote for Obama because he is black.

I personally am not voting for a President to go along to get along. If we have enemies of the US – they need to be destroy or Silenced.

      I would like to have heard him say something about the inquiry, but the Chick-Fil-A thing… I think we already know where he stands on that. The inquiry is far more important though. We can’t have people that hate America and the free market in positions of power. That‘s why Obama’s gotta go and we must teach the history of Progressives, the Founding Fathers’ true intent, explain why Marxism doesn’t work and how the Christian principles and the free market made America so great so quickly… our jobs are to leave posterity informed so they won’t have to fight the same fights we do and our ancestors did. We let our guard down and trusted the government with our kids in public schools and the government abuses that power. We need to bring control of the schools back to the local level. Let the private schools compete for the best teachers and we’ll eventually be rid of the bad ones. I‘m confident that I’d be a great math teacher, do Liberals fear they aren’t good enough to compete? The Feds should never have been involved with education. Controlling education is far too much power for them to be trusted with.

      The Obama election team along with every MSM news outlet is looking for anything to get Romney off track and defending himself instead of being on the offensive. Hell, look what Harry Reid did on the floor of the Senate! If Reid said the same thing anyplace else he could be legally sued for slander. As I understand it (the releasing tax returns issue), Romney releases 2 years of tax returns every time he runs for a political office since 2002. Since he has run for some office so many times the Dem’s should already have most of his tax returns since 2002. This is all political gamesmanship or a lack thereof or just Chicago unethical politics. I doubt Dr. Paul would allow himself to get caught up in it either. And that is why Dr. Paul is silent.

      Ballot, I have not given up on Paul just yet as he is still in the race and is still doing quite well, even though the media will not say so. Romney is in the position that he is in because the Romney campaign along with RNC and GOP leadership committed election fraud along with federal crimes during the primary. They are no better than Obama and his “Chicago Style” politics and anyone who turns a blind eye to this type of thuggery, are just as bad as the ones who committed these acts. That is why I certainly will not vote for Romney, as I do not want to be a part of this group.

      West,

      I agree with you, but here is the thing…One of the two IS going to win (If Paul pulls something out in Tampa I will be extremely happy…but I don’t see it) So….now unfortunatly we have to go to that argument that i argued against so many times before…but now the clock has ticked down so far that this statement is now true at this moment. Voting for Paul is a vote for Obama…..

      So this is how I see it:

      Choice A: We can have “Chicago Politics” that leans VERY slightly towards constitution and pro-Americanism, and at least slow down the decline of America, so that libertarians can have a chance to dig in a little deeper.

      Choice B: We can have “Chicago Politics” with a big leverage with the “Shut up you racist bigot” button, who leans much further away from liberty than this country has ever seen. And will not have a chance to dig in and fix the problems.

If Romney is even an inch to the right of O than that is who I will vote for. I wish we could have found someone a little more to the right but that is just not going to happen.

      I‘m so disappointed for Mitt’s inability to seize the opportunity, I just don’t even know what to say. Although maybe the first person’s post at the beginning should be what he is thinking. Most Americans are so completely uninformed about what is rising up out the middle east and the M.B. infiltration they would probably get scared and run into the arms of Obama. Perhaps, this is a calculated effort on his part to not stir the pot too much until he is elected into office. Notice the hand to nose move- clearly his body language speaks volumes. He was nervous about these questions.

      So to be a “ mindnumbingly idiotic leftist” you need to be for cutting real spending, ending the pointless wars, and restoring freedoms taken for our own good?

Don’t tell me that a vote for Romney/Rice is a vote for Oblamer’s policies. Look the gov’t is a miserable Banana Republic now… and Blamer wants to make it much, much, bigger.

      Well I am voting for either Romney or Obama.

      You are right Obama is a huge failure. So you would think the GOP wouldnt nominate a guy who supports these things.

      1. Romney’s budget doesnt cut current spending levels. He cuts future increases. His budget then calls for spending cuts of 500 billion. I hate to break it to you but we run deficits much higher than that. Basically Romney increases our debt. Can we handle more debt?

      2. Romney continues the wars and even wants to expand them. Why does Romney support the Syrian rebels? Is Al Qaeda ok in Syria and Libya but they not in Afghanistan and Iraq? Iran a very weak army. Fighting them will be even less of challenge than Iraq was(remember we defeated the Iraqi army in 3 days). After that we will have issues because everyone who has lost a parent or child will be picking up a Ak and planting IEDs. Have we learned nothing after 20 years of fighting.

      3. Romney supports the NDAA and Patriot act. Those bills directly override the Constitution and the rights of American citizens.

      4. Romney and Rice both are weak on Abortion. Rice still supports it and Romney supported it up until he wanted to be president. His past speeches he is very much in support of abortion and on Meet the Press he even said he was pro life for political reasons.

      5. Romney said Bernanke is doing a good job and he wouldnt not waste time on the FED.

      6. In 2007 Romney called for a national health care mandate. 2009 he prai

      I can’t stand this garbage. How is it that so many of my fellow conservatives cannot see why he is staying out of this? He is keeping his focus on Obama’s failed, neo-Marxist economic policies and the subsequent weakening of U.S. influence in international politics. If Mitt gets himself bogged down in the culture war, he will have opened the door for Obama to divert attention away from his failures and re-energize the demoralized liberal base. Its called political strategy and its not a violation of principle. By not getting involved, Mitt isn‘t saying that he doesn’t agree with Chick-Fil-A‘s CEO’s right to free speech or his position on gay marriage. Mitt isn’t saying anything because it will only serve to weaken his campaign. Its all well and good to fall on your sword for your principles, but the truth is that the only way that you can effectively propagate those principles is if you are in a position of power that allows you to do so. If Mitt gets involved with every single debate on social issues, he will not attain the position that would actually allow him to affect those debates. Wake up people! Stop complaining every time that Mitt doesn’t say exactly what you want (or, as in this case, when he doesn’t say anything at all). He is the nominee and if he ends up losing, America as we know it is through; period.

      If Romney wants to win(I honestly think he is playing to lose) he needs to attack. Release the tax records and crush Reid. Everyone talks about the Senate is the key, ding ding ding crush the Senate majority leader!! Next come out swinging in defense of the First Amendment. The support Bachmann. She has dug something up and the progressives are trying to bury it.

      How is it that I can agree with Z, Counter and Mutiny at the same time? I’m just to confused on how to feel. Mitt’s already released 1 1/2 years of tax returns, which pretty much debunk that area, correct? Okay, not enough years for you Reid. Guess how many years Reagan released. One. Mitt’s rich. Very, very rich. Good for him. Now let’s move on please. Yes, he needs to grow a pair on the issue of Free-Speech, just say it, Mitt. “It everyones first amendment right to have their own opinion.” Done. However, Muslim Brotherhood infiltration- that’s a bit more of something you might want to calculate. You don’t want to scare the public, of which 95% know nothing about it. Perhaps a better answer would have been that he would investigate Bachman’s “investigation” when he enters the white house. Or perhaps… don’t say anything at all on that issue. Could he be clever? Progressive, yes, but clever? Hmmm. I think we are all still trying to figure him out. I digress, maybe I just like Mitt because he’s not a wimp when it comes to visiting Israel and not visiting the Islamic theocracies over seas and bowing to the King of Saudi. Yeah, he’ll get my vote.

      I would like to take your statement and apply it to all 4 POTUS candidates as if they were in an Olympic diving competition and I’m the completely impartial judge. This is what I’m seeing so far and the competition is not over.

      Diver 1- Obama; Runs down the diving board with grace and poise, jumps off and flails his arms and legs wildly while screaming “vote for me or else” and is still hanging in the air screaming.

      Diver 2- Romney; Runs down the diving board a bit awkwardly, jumps off and tries to do a decent dive and is still hanging in the air trying to prefect his dive.

      Diver 3- Johnson; Walks down diving board to the end and is still standing there looking down at the water.

      Diver 4- Dr. Paul; Runs down diving board with grace and confidence. His fans cheer wildly. He stops at the end, raises his arms high and his fans cheer even more wildly. He takes a few steps back, arms still raised and his fans are still cheering wildly.

They are aiding and abetting the OIC, which is a huge UN organization that has orchestrated the Days of Rage to silence us.

    If anybody wonders why America has such a high number of spineless dirt bags, it‘s from kids growing up and seeing such a lack of leadership from those that don’t want to rock the boat, or upset the apple cart, or interfere with their standard of living. It’s reprehensible.

    Seventeen years ago on August 4, 1995 the extermination and the expulsion of the Christian Serbs from their homes and property in the Krajina (Serb part of Croatia) for over a thousand years began in Croatia by the Ustashe (Muslim and Croatian Nazis), a puppet state created by the Nazis during WWII. During WWII the Ustashe along with the Vatican murdered 750,000 Serbs, 75,000 Jews and 50,000 Roma in Jasenovac Concentration Camp, the most brutal of the Concentration Camps in Europe where they tortured civilians using special knives to gouge out their eyes with and had contests to see how many people they could kill in one day.

    What you see in this video is the children of the Ustashe (Muslim and Croat Nazis murderering the Christian Serbs in August, 1995 after Clinton-NATO bombed their defensive facilities in Croatia. These are the Serbians who are fleeing for their lives and are being murdered in cold blood by the Ustashe. This is what the egregious MSM in America, and the world, didn’t tell us when Clinton-NATO bombed all the defensive facilities of the Christian Serbs in the former Yugoslavia, aka Raska, aka Greater Serbian Empire, aka Byzantine empire.

    Here the Croat and Muslim soldiers (Ustashe) are murdering Serb civilians in the village of Suva Meda. They are yelling Allahu Akbar as they are doing it. The second column of Serbian civilians are fleeing from Croatia to Bosnia in Bangka and they are stopped by the Croatian border by the Muslim soldiers and they ar

      @Barber, Yeah, I know what Obama is all about, but as I learn more about economics (and still FAR away from having any credibility on the issue) it seems that the greatest redistribution scam is the Federal Reserve and Keynesian Economics. Many of us are feeling the pinch pf inflation, and even GB talked about it. I believe he called it the “greatest theft in American history”. Thanks to a Blazer (Sue Domin?) we all should know that Keynes was a Fabian Socialist. Romney has come out praising Bernanke, the Federal Reserve, bailouts and tarp. That seems more like crony capitalism to me, but again, I’m no expert. What I do know for sure is he supports the most egregious attacks on our Bill of Rights I thought would never fly in America, and I can’t bring myself to voting in anyone that is so seemingly anti-Freedom. Also, I’m ashamed at the behavior the GOP and “right” media have demonstrated during the primaries. I wish I could convince everyone to rally around the Constitution and vote 3rd party, but… Perhaps enough people will do so in order to get federal funding for 2016. I just think step one is purging the GOP of all the progressives that have infiltrated it.

    Mitt is very wise. I don’t blame him for keeping quiet about things that are not having to do with his campaign. Mitt would need to have his own investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood in order to make statements he could substantiate. People just stand around and try to bait others with something that is not in making good use of their time. Obama got his silly self into matters that were beneath the Office of the President many times and this turned many people against him for not minding his own business and the Office of the President. Obama has acted like part of a bunch of highschool kids wanting everyone to take sides and form cliques instead of allowing all Americans to be represented in Truth and Justice in this country. People are mad as hell about the way Obama has tried to divide people and play highschool games in matters that did not and should not have been taken on by the Office of the President.

      Both sides are still fighting over a few issues.

      Abortion – Well kind of. Romney has been pro choice all his life up until like 5 mins ago. The fact that so few conservatives care about that is sad.

      Rand Paul made the move in an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity.”

      “Well, you know, my first choice had always been my father. … He is still my first pick,” Paul said, according to a rush transcript of the appearance. “But now that the nominating process is over, tonight, I am happy to announce I am supporting Governor Romney.”

      Sen. Paul then declared, “It’s time for MUTINY and the other supporters of my father on The Blaze to shut their mouths and quit acting like fools”.
