Thread: Romney campaign cancels all events for Monday and Tuesday.

My reply:

"Edit: I keep forgetting the important thing: he's probably lying.

[Dan]

3. how much will the tickets cost?

[nolabear]

4. Well...okay.

[truthisfreedom]

5. Woohoo! While Obama is working to solve the problems of the storm, rMoney comes to the rescue with

Richard Petty. Whose standup act is totally amazing, I've heard.

[FarPoint]

18. His motorcade just pulled into Dayton, Ohio

the Kettering area. This is Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted is from....they are probably meeting together....betch-ya. Jon Husted....becoming famous for blocking the Ohio vote....he is the one who fired the 2 Montgomery County Board of Election members....Tom Ritchie and Dennis Lieberman....featured on MSNBC...Rachel Maddows Show...

Yea...Jon and Dennis have been opposing forces for ...years.

Dennis is the Jedi knight.

Jon...a storm trooper-minion.

[sofa king]

33. I heard Petty is going to talk to an empty car.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. I feel safer already.

We were wondering if anyone was going to help us here in Ohio.
Thank heavens for Mitt Romney and a race car driver. Hahahahaha

Hey Petty, Junior Johnson thinks you and Romney are assholes.

[yardwork]

56. Junior Johnson endorsed Obama in 2008. He does think that Petty is an asshole.

[marlakay]

7. Yea after Obama's site was leading people to donate to Red Cross

now Mitt is telling everyone to do so like it was his idea…the man is shameless!

[kardonb]

26. shameless

shameless and immoral , and totally devoid of any humane feeling !

[lexw]

8. I posted this morninig that I thought he was going to do something like this.

He's a freak.
Probably trying to show everyone how well it all will work if it's privatized.

[jimlup]

9. Politicize politicizez politicize

Will anyone see this jackass for what he really is? How many ignorant souls will fall for this grand standing?

[lunasun]

10. Ohio you say?

[hatrack]

11. Wow, Real America is going to help out those dirty urbanite liberals!

Isn't that right, Twitt?

[lobodons]

12. So I take it Meatloaf is already booked..??

Meatloaf must already be booked for tomorrow. Hmmmm. Go figure.

[BainsBane]

29. Meatloaf, the unregistered voter

[CoffeeCat]

13. Well this certainly proves...

...that money can't buy class.

While Obama is being commander in chief, Romney exploits a natural disaster to enhance his personal brand.

[Zorro]

14. Romney will try to spin Sandy as Obama's Katrina

[George II]

52. It is, but Obama isn't flying over NYC or giving McCain a birthday cake, he's WORKING....

[alfredo]

15. He's sending the victims Foie Gras and toastettes.

[FightingIrish]

16. I'm not a president but I play one on the campaign trail.

[tavernier]

17. Any excuse for a party.

What a loser.

[SCVDem]

19. This is Romney's feeble attempt

to demonstrate how the private sector can provide disaster aid.

No matter what they raise, it won't be enough to be meaningful. That's what FEMA is for.

I am so tired of this pandering dick!

[n2doc]

20. yeah right- How much is Rmoney worth?

I've heard estimates of 300 million or more. He certainly could cough up whatever sum might be raised by such an 'event' without sweating. But then again, that wouldn't be the point, would it?

[VPStoltz]

21. It's official, this guy is a horse ass.

[SoapBox]

22. Dirty Mittens will try and

make it seem like all relief efforts are his idea.

[Grassy Knoll]

23. Here is a link from the righty blog......

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/264739-romney-ryan-announce-storm-relief-efforts-for-tuesday

What a Tool

[demgrrrll]

24. My first response is that this is a knee jerk bad idea.

[KamaAina]

25. In Ohio??!!

Did the storm somehow spare NY and NJ and veer off to Ohio???

[femrap]

31. We have high wind warnings...but more for the central/eastern part of the state

..yet, it's been messy here.

Very windy in Columbus...I lifted all yard signs so they wouldn't fly off and hurt someone/something and put oil in mom's generator.

If it's so windy here, I can't imagine the damage in NY and NJ and other eastern states.

I don't think Dayton people are NASCAR people...but I guess they infiltrated everywhere, possibly.

Goddess, I want this RobMe dude sent straight to hell along w/ his 5 widdle boyz.

Let him make a fool of himself! I don't see this decision as 'leader'....do you? Nascar dude while people are suffering???

Just another sociopath in politics.

[doc03]

27. Boy I hope that asshole goes down there is nothing

he will not try for votes. I think it will backfire and prove what an ass he is.

[frylock]

28. the jack is going to roll right in with star power like richard petty

[jsr]

30. He forgot Hank Williams Jr.

[alp227]

44. OHHHHHHH YEAH, YEAAAAHHHH!

[Sophiegirl]

32. Pu-leeze!!!

Don't forget foraging through your supply of caviar, Mittens. That is, if Queen Anne will let you come close to it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

34. Why doesn't he have it in NY or NJ where they need it

stay out of Ohio, Romney

[dolphinsrule]

35. Willard is soooo desperate

The pos is having a "storm relief benefit".
I only hope this backfires on him so hard and bites him in the ass.
He is a low life, lying pos.

[bvf]

36. 10% would definitely help . . .

Wish I could just follow him around my state (Ohio) with a big sign reading, "Write a check, asshole."

I'm new here, so I don't know if that's appropriate. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

- bvf

[WorseBeforeBetter]

37. Country music singer Randy Owen is what I heard (WHO?).

Think it's in Kettering, Ohio.

[Kablooie]

38. Will Romney get to play the guitar just like little Bushy?

[DollarBillHines]

39. Richard Petty? Is this The Onion?

Fuck NASCAR...

Where's Brownie when we need him?

I mean, damn...

[-Steph-]

40. Of course he's going to have a storm relief event in Ohio tomorrow, he has no tact whatsoever!

[uncle ray]

41. Richard Petty's corpse?

[funkhowser1]

42. This was a previously scheduled/canceled Tuesday campaign event.

Previously scheduled for Tuesday, in Kettering, OH, with Petty and Owen appearing. They're importing Ryan from Colorado at the last minute and relabeling this a "storm relief" event. What a prick. They're going to ask the public to bring canned goods. Just what the Red Cross needs, the logistics of moving canned goods around, when they've asked for $10 donations and made it real simple to donate via the web or your cellphone. What, Rmoney and Ryan going to load up the buses with boxes of donations and drive them to the hardest hit areas and Queen Ann wll hand out the goods?

[nobodyspecial]

54. Canned goods?

Who's idiot idea was this?

[renate]

55. the Red Cross specifically said "We don't want that crap"

This is a great demonstration of how he'd be as President: Screw what the experts say, I know best!

[mimi85]

43. What an asshole!

Real presidential. He ought to get his ass and his sons down there to help! Guess he'd rather hang with all those Nascar owners than doing something actually useful. Cans of soup?? Spare me. I am seriously getting tired of Rmoney. Wonder if he'll make fun of peeps "raincoats."
We MUST win - I never want to lay eyes on him again! Ryan has sure backed off his supposed "core" beliefs. I think they should both self-deport to some distant planet! Is the "star" Hank Williams Jr by any chance?

[WRH2]

45. His core beliefs will come back like the rath of the devil, if he is elected.

with all kinds of twisty wormy haneous stuff, taking us back to the jim crow days.

[madrchsod]

46. could`t he wait until the storm is over?

i bet a dollar he won`t have no good word about how the president has handled his duties during the storm.


how can anyone vote for this ghoul?

[Evasporque]

47. GOP answer to FEMA...."Storm Aid", "Drought Aid", "Earthquake Aid"....

Another country singer...yawl pony up a dollar na...

[tanyev]

48. Best relief you can give, Mitt, is to STFU and stay out of the way.

[onecent]

49. asswipe. n/t

[George II]

50. Anyone watching on MSNBC? I doubt they have more than about 1000 people there!

[bamacrat]

51. David Shuster just tweeted this:

DavidShuster: Romney claims he is holding a "relief rally" today in OH. This lie underscored by press passes his camp issued. #TAN

Pic of press pass. Political publicity stunt and nothing more

Link doesn't work when pasted for some reason. Believe me looks very douchy.

Fixed link

[wordpix]

58. where's the relief part? Oh, yeah, Nov. 7 we'll get relief from that a-hole R$

[Myrina]

53. How much personal wealth is Mittens donating?

$0? Yeah, I thought so ...

[wordpix]

57. Richard Petty? Who TF is that?

Never heard of him and wondering who will rush out to buy tickets?

[funkhowser1]

59. Petty ... NASCAR driver.

All the yaa-hoos have his car # on the back windows of their pickups. I don't know if it's #3, #5, #8, or what. One belonged to the driver that died on track a few years back. I don't keep track of this, no interest.
