Alternator Belt Cut on Romney Bus
PJ Media ^ | 7/9/12 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 07/09/2012 4:09:59 PM PDT by Nachum

The Romney team today confirmed grass-roots reports that a campaign bus was sabotaged by an unknown vandal over the weekend.

The bus, which was being used for campaign events but not transporting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, was parked in Richmond, Va., when the vehicle was tampered with late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

A Romney campaign official told PJM that the alternator belt was cut. Repairs were under way Monday to get the bus back on the road for a voter registration event in Springfield, Va., from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Springfield Metro Commuter Lot.

A “Moms for Mitt” mobile phone bank that had been scheduled for 11:30 a.m. this morning in Leesburg, Va., had to be canceled because of the disabled bus.

Ayers would be planting explosive devices.

3) Then you have to find the front of the engine (i.e., the non-transmission end). Not easy when the engine has 4 sides to it.

Most engines have at least SIX sides to them, they are three dimensional.

“Most engines have at least SIX sides to them, they are three dimensional.”

That would explain why I could never find the alternator belt.

Anyone who doesn't understand that Democrat activists are violent thugs is hopelessly naive and living in a fantasy world. Like the “evil empire” in Reagan’s famous speech, Democrats reserve the right to lie, to steal and to do anything they choose to advance their cause.

Someday, if we ever have an honest government in the United States, these people will be sent to prison and no longer be a threat to society.

Romney better beef up his security. Democrats know they are going to lose, and all their hate and envy is boiling over.

Up to a few years ago, I would have thought the idea of this country breaking up was nonsense. Not anymore. After seeing the hate and violence shown by the left towards anyone who doesn't agree with them, I don't see how the sides can ever reconcile.

No he’d put a sticky bomb on the gas tank, Ayers would.

I thought there were only TWO sides. The inside and the outside.

All the Secret Service needs to do is put cameras and alarms on the buses. These freaks could cut the brakes and kill people without a thought. I can’t believe they are electronically unguarded.

This should have been anticipated and precautions taken to prevent it. When someone sabotages the brakes or steering maybe Romney's merry band of clueless choirboys will get the idea.

We are fighting an enemy who has no moral standards.

Yep. At the very least they need to mount cameras to watch the bus...and perhaps an alarm system.

No WONDER I couldn't find the timing chain!
