Senator John McCain's Opposition Research On Romney

an interesting bit of information about Willard 'Mitt' Romney which turned up online today. This is coming from Senator John McCains research opposition file of 2008. A file aimed at and, successfully undoing Mitt Romney's campaign during the 2008 Republican primary.

As I've said before when you want to find the facts on one Republican LIAR just wait until another Republican LIAR wants to undo the first LIAR. Republicans are the best sources of information on opposition to other Republicans.
