Is Romney disavowing Paul Weyrich’s bribery accusation? Nope. In response to my question Spokesman Kevin Madden would only say: “Governor Romney is thankful for the support he has received from pro-life advocates, he respects those that have offered their support for other candidates, and he will continue to work with ALL of the grassroots activists involved in the pro-life movement throughout this campaign.”( His caps, not mine, which I can only guess is meant to say NRLC is not the only game in town.) Well, Weyrich is a pretty influencial guy and Romney appears to see no upside in criticizing his supporter. His surrogates, we can surmise, will continue to whack non-endorsing pro-life groups and individuals with impunity.
