FYI: MITT ROMNEY has always been a dick

FYI: MITT ROMNEY has always been a dick – Back in 2004, President Bush ran a smear campaign against challenger Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) which undermined his service in Vietnam and questioned Kerry’s ability and determination to protect the United States — just three years removed from the 9/11 attacks — from another terror strike. “If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we’ll get hit again,” then Vice President Dick Cheney said at the time. And while Romney complains about Obama’s alleged “politicization” now, he willfully participated in the Bush-Cheney smear campaign on Kerry in 2004. During an August 9, 2004 (accessed via Lexis/Nexis) interview on Fox News, Romney suggested that Kerry would “twiddle his thumbs” when dealing with terrorism and in September 2004, also on Fox News, Romney said Kerry is too much of a flip-flopper to protect the country. – Think Progress

Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani Get Firehouse Photo Op, Immediately Unload Pizzas Onto Aide

Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani Get Firehouse Photo Op, Immediately Unload Pizzas Onto Aide


...Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani arrived at Engine 24/ladder 5 — a firehouse on Sixth Avenue and Houston Street that lost eleven members on 9/11 — to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee and his former critic emerged from a black SUV bearing gifts for some of New York's bravest: six boxes of fresh pizza, which Romney and Giuliani personally lugged into the firehouse as a gaggle of photographers, cordoned off at a safe distance, snapped away. Moments later, the photo op complete and the press pool (mostly!) out of sight, Romney and Giuliani unloaded all six pizzas into the arms of an aide.
