Romney: Colorado shooting is 'unspeakable tragedy' (with video)
L.A. Times ^ | 7/20/12 | Seema Mehta

BOW, N.H.—Hours after a shooter killed a dozen people in a Colorado cinema, Mitt Romney scrubbed a scheduled campaign rally Friday and instead offered his somber condolences and prayers to the victims and their families.

“Our hearts break with the sadness of this unspeakable tragedy. Ann and I join the president and first lady and all Americans in offering our deepest condolences to those whose lives were shattered in a few moments, a few moments of evil in Colorado,” Romney told a few hundred people gathered at a lumber yard here.

“I stand before you today not as a man running for office but as a father and grandfather, a husband, an American. This is a time for each of us to look into our hearts and remember how much we love one another and how much we love and how much we care for our great country. There’s so much love and goodness in the heart of America.”

No agenda, but I will bet dollars to doughnuts that the list of victims will be submitted soon.

BTW, how have you been tadpole? I’ve missed you.

He was addressing a crowd..cancelling the rally.
He sounded more presidential than the Obamanation.
My opinion.

The atrocity is that CCW was not allowed in the theater.

Yet another reason to boycott gun free zones whenever possible. They are killing fields.

I understand your point, but a soldier dying in a war zone is different than a 1 y/o getting murdered at point blank range at the movies.

At least THAT one got to live 0ne year...



Are you still killing your unborn?

But at least you didn't try and make it about you

Sure he did!
but as a father and grandfather, a husband, an American.

and then goes on how much we should love him! .......

This is a time for each of us to look into our hearts and remember how much we love one another and how much we love

We LOVE America is why we don't want him or his blood brother.

I’m not sure if that is directed at me personally, but I am against abortion.

Me too and that means I would never support anyone for it.

Those who say they are against it but vote for those who are for it - show a schizo mindset. Something wrong with someone who supposedly are against something; yet, vote for it.

He was addressing a crowd.

A crowd of potential voters from a presumptive nominee.

You mean from the two family men, Obama and Romney. NOPE!

I'm sure 'next' was heard at the abortion clinics they are in support of.

Romney’s reaction is the highest morality when compared with despicable ABC News

What did Romney's NEWS do that made it the highest morality?

Some unspeakable tragedies provide more of an opportunity than others, I guess.
