Surprise!! Romney 'Relief Rally' STAGED!! Pre-Purchased $5,000 in Walmart Goods for Bogus Photo Op!

phony, dishonest , smarmy , disgusting , opportunistic = ROTME !

The war on reality

These people never cease to amaze me.

Those were the first five words that came to mind...

if they are this craven and cynical.

but at this point, I'm no longer surprised by this cretins actions.

and then tears it up when the cameras leave.

This creature has gone beyond being an asshole and has now crawled way, way up a shit-packed colon.

Their daily lies are one thing, but faking the act of charity for political advantage is really about as low as it gets.

Lies in ads about car manufacturing jobs, wants to shut down FEMA, and fake donations at a ridiculously staged event.

Holy cow!

And they want to run the country!

what the hell?

where they trying to drive donors away?

Well, it IS Halloween.


Of course this just goes to show President Romney, like President Bush, would not run anything. He will be, like Bush and Reagan before him, a cardboard cutout president. He'll be out raising money while somebody, who was not elected, runs things from an undisclosed location.


GOP... unelected and undisclosed

He knew his supporters wouldn't be bringing any donations.

They LOVE denying the poor and disadvantaged anything.

Yesterday the news informed us that the "relief rally" took place at the same time and place that the previous political rally was to occur. The same speakers and guests came who were scheduled to come to the political rally. The campaign ran the same pro-Romney political film at the "relief rally" that they always run for the audience at his political rallies. Romney promotional political merchandise was sold at the "relief rally" that you find at political rallies. It was already faked to the max.

But now we find out the cans of food were props at the "relief rally" as well, provided by the campaign. Incredible.

I want to see a blood test on this android. He needs to prove he's a real person because everything else he's part of is fake as hell.

Perhaps he's a corporation.

n/t

Disgusted but not surprised.

How do you spell Hindenburg Mitt?

This makes me sick to see this. I think it will bite them in the ass. Its so fake it screams of deperation to look good. Fail.

Will the MSM report this travesty??? Or perhaps, they are as sickened as we are by the absolute lack of character and morality in that bunch and will work in other ways to expose His Highness?

ETA: Far be it from the Smarmy One to actually DONATE all that money they spent on that charade, to the Red Cross, and cancel the event.

On the bright side... he did NOT attract a whole hell of a lot of people. Tiny crowd one week before the election? I'll be generous to say there was 1,000 people there, but I may be exaggerating to be kind. The MSM and the corporate pollsters are screwing with people's minds.. no fucking way he's that close in the polls.

Beginning to think that the deflated Mitt Blimp was an omen. His campaign is in shambles.. a total free fall.

Truly deplorable. But that's Romney for you.

This guy is one of the worst people ever. And sorry but it has a lot to do with his Mormonism.

Only be sorry that we can't possibly communicate to people what this actually means in terms of what some Mormons are really like.

Wal Mart? Wal Fucking Mart?

Were there no American stores like Costco?

What an ass!

"This is what we will do...we will buy 5,000 dollars of canned goods, and when people come, they can pretend they are donating them to Governor Romney...and the press can snap up photos, and this will make Mitt look like a Geese Louise Swell guy! "



P. T. Barnum would have loved this guy.

Always turning its "associates" into peons who qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. Always.

Just read an entry in Maddow Blog talking about the last six commercials Romney put out and how each one is based on a complete fabrication. Even for American Politics this is something that has never been seen before. I don't know if this strategy is working only because Obama is black or if this is just the final nail in American Political discourse. When you have all conservatives watching Fox and all liberals watching MSNBC each side has access to only one stream of information. I cannot watch CNN or FOX so the only way I can watch news is if I am watching MSNBC because the past 12 years have so angered and polarized me that I will vote for six feet of stacked shit with a tie on before I vote for a Republican. I used to watch C-SPAN and when you actually listen to a conservative argument (not partisan, conservative) sometimes a good point can be made. Especially when it is a civil discussion where each side gets ample time to express, flesh out and rebut each others points. With people living in information bubbles liars can flood the airwaves with whatever they want and it will just blend into the chatter.

MSNBC is not Fox... nowhere near it. It is not "skewed" to the left. It has a few left leaning shows. You can actually do alright with MSNBC.

I agree that MSNBC is actual news while Fox is a propaganda machine. But it has 6 solid hours of liberal opinion shows every night, not a few. Look, I'm not trying to equate one with the other I watch MSNBC every night and I sometimes feel like maybe I don't have a clear picture of what is going on since the shows I watch have an on obvious spin for Obama. And before you jump down my throat I am fully aware that what they report is actually true whereas Fox is just a factory of bullshit but I still come away with a feeling that I just watched six hours of programming that I mostly agree with, that made feel super positive about our chances in this thing etc, etc. That essntially the Fox viewer and I live in completely different worlds and the information I am getting is not information they are getting. When there is no baseline for reality no then lying is something you can get away with. Seven years from now are we still going to have Fox viewers who believe that the work requirement was watered down under Obama, that he doubled the deficit, that he is actually a Muslim Marxsist hell bent on the destruction of America? Probably. These are the same people who still believe that WMDs were found in Iraq. When there is no common ground on the FACTS any longer then what is left? Just two streams of contradicting information and a beleaguered electorate who throws up their hands and says "Fuck it. They all lie." and electorate that is more polarized and a country that cannot make decisions for its common good together. "A House divided against itself cannot stand" and I'm the same way now. In 2000 I might have voted for McCain (before he proved his "Maverick" independence was a lie) over Gore, now I won't vote for any Republican for any reason under any circumstance. Ever. It just seems that's not healthy for our democracy that I feel this way and that conservatives feel exactly the same way in reverse. But I apologize it was not my intent to equate Rachel Maddow who deals in truth (albeit with an obvious preference towards liberalism) to Glenn Beck who just lies through his teeth. Just trying to understand how a politician can lie as much as Romney has and still have a chance. Either it's because America's enduring racism won't allow this race to be anything but close or political dialogue has disappeared, since I'm not listening to their bullshit and they're not listening to my facts.

Remember the Tailhook controversy in the 90s? Seems an appropriate reference.

The degradation of women who chose to serve and had to put up with men who thought that any woman in the military wanted to be there to either find a husband or was a slut. My older sister was subjected to this when she joined the AF in the late 70s. You would not believe some of the stories she told me.

Keep 'em in their place or abuse them seemed to be the attitude.

Some guys act like women can't have real goals or take pride in their work. It's all just to hook up.

Ask these guys if men join the army to meet women or say they must be gay and want to hook up with other guys and they claim that's different because guys,....what? Don't think about sex?

Edit...I hate autocorrect!!!

Of course, the campaign could have simply donated a $5,000 check, which would have been much more useful, but that wouldn't make a "effective" a picture for media dissemination, and since we all know he is very wealthy, $5,000 would look pretty chintzy.

Romney could have just written a $10 million check to the Red Cross and gone home but did this instead. Tells you a lot about Romney. The biggest thing it tells you right now is that he should NOT be President.

Let's hold a "relief rally" in a location many miles away from where the relief is actually needed, and then let's dump in on the American Red Cross so they can figure out how to get all the stuff where it's needed!

Of course, this has diverted the Red Cross from doing what they know they need to do, as the Red Cross doesn't normally accept donations of this kind. They prefer cash donations so they can use the money to buy things through established channels and get it to the folks who need it quickly and efficiently.

What a joke this man is. Everything about him is phony: his concern for others, his smile, his policies, everything is a sham. Back in the Wild West days, the Sheriff would have told Rmoney to get out of town and never come back.

This is the Potemkin Campaign! Everything for show with no reasons or explanations for anything and no substance!

At his typical rich @hole attitude, by giving things to the plebes and demanding it back.

to the Romney campaign's bullshit.

I'm actually even more amazed by Romney's shallowness than I was about Palin's vacuousness. I mean her word salad is amazing. But his total lack of humanity leaves me speechless & not a little PO'd at people I know who support him.
