ROMNEY'S PENNSYLVANIA FANTASY TURNS INTO DISASTER

http://www.democrats.org/news/press/romneys_pa_fantasy_turns_into_disaster

He's holding people hostage, won't let them leave, seriously you can't make this stuff up.

This is happening right now at Mitt Romney’s rally in Pennsylvania. Apparently it’s freezing, and Romney’s staff is refusing to let rally-goers leave. People are begging reporters for help.

Absolutely incredible.

detainment. Including Rmoney himself. Let him have a criminal record he can be proud of.

Then the family has the right to sue (and should win) the fuck out of Rmoney and his ilk.

Pennsylvania should go deep blue after this. Really deep blue, as in "FUCK OFF, RMONEY AND GOP - YOU ARE NO LONGER WANTED!"

Corbett and his ilk will be booted out in '14.

Permanently.

it doesn't really matter, they can't stop people from
leaving especially if the conditions were as severe as
they say.

It fits.

The whole world and everyone in it is only window dressing for Romney's psychopathic ego.

That's kinda scary, not silly.

...out of this - solid, and reconsidered Republican votes.

They won't matter (to the Electoral situation), of course - it being Pennsylvania, and safe blue.

But spread the word. We could pick up another hundred somewhere where it does matter...
