Romney staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide records

(Reuters) - Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned. The move during the final weeks of Romney's administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say.

The effort to purge the records was made a few months before Romney launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He is again competing for the party's nomination, this time to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012.

Five weeks before the first contests in Iowa, Romney has seen his position as frontrunner among Republican presidential candidates whittled away in the polls as rival Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, has gained ground.

dumb ass...

PolitiFact | Romney says he followed the law and precedent in deleting e-mails

Our ruling

The Romney administration’s decision to erase most electronic files is neither illegal nor unusual. According to state records officials, past governors such as Weld, Cellucci and Swift have not made their electronic records available to the state archive or to the incoming administration, according to state staff. They have submitted some computer print-outs to the state archive, but Romney did that, as well. So we rate Romney's claim True.
UPDATE: The last paragraph originally included a reference to to the removal of the hard drives. That reference has been removed to clarify that ruling is on Romney's claim about deleting the records.

you MAY want to look up the political party affiliation for those past governors.

what a FAIL thread

This is what you got to Obama's donor scandal? The guy is getting funds from overseas, 68% of his visitors on Obama.com are from overseas and you pull this crap out of your ass?

If we're going there, when is Romney going to make his birth certificate available for scrutiny? And while we're at it, where is the $6B Bush gave Pakistan to help fight terror?

damn... painful. One of the scouts in my son's troop just did the exact same thing... lost both front teeth (got them back in in time to root), busted his jaw and had it wired for weeks.

Even so, that wasn't nearly ther FAIL that this thread is

That's nothing compared to Obama who has spent millions to seal his records.

Everyone with a dozen or more fully functioning brain cells knows there is something Obama is afraid or ashamed of. The only question is what.
