This citizen performed a real service to the country and deserves its thanks.. Its usful to know a Presidential candidate considers half the population little better than head lice. Sincere thanks to you sir, for showing us whats really festering behind Mr. Romney's twinkling eyeballs and Ipana smile .
Many, many thanks to Scott for filming this and subsequently for releasing it. I shudder to think what would have happened to millions of elderly, sick and struggling Americans if Romney had been elected. He's tried to tell us repeatedly that he does have empathy, but these words put the lie to that claim.
sneaky and unethical unlawful taping someone without knowing it
Sneaky and unethical lying during every press conference, interview, campaign stop and in every press release.
Yeah right. Republican scumbags should be able to voice their racist opinions in private. NOT!
Slow Joe Biden had his jack booted thugs take a reports camera away yesterday after Joe was caught making an EXTREMELY sexist comment....
I would be willing to bet that the majority of people here complaining about Obama's jack booted thugs also voted for Richard Nixon. Who says Republicans don't have a sense of humor (or at least, irony)?
Not talking about Nixon..... no moral equivalency here.
Sloe Joe, while talking to a group of abused women talked about certain acts that were well beyond your "garden varient slap across the face".
And, once his handlers pointed it out - Joe had his secrect service officers sieze the reports phone.
Gestapo anyone?
Scott Prouty supposedly "struggled for weeks" before releasing the video? Come on! For the fundraiser where he was to be a bartender, he goes to extreme measures to bring with him and strategically place a secret video and audio recorder. So, play the odds here...for weeks he was likely trying to sell the video/audio. It is not credible that he was struggling. The whole thing was carefully planned and executed.
Did Romney say it or not? That my Thermo friend is the essence of the story.
He did...and while it voilated PC rules....its pretty darn accurate.
Can't we all be friends? HAH!
