February 15, 2010 Romney Assaulted on Flight Leaving Olympics FOXNews.com A passenger became "physically violent" when the former Massachusetts governor asked him to move his seat upright for take-off. Mitt Romney, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts, was physically assaulted by a fellow passenger on a flight from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles today.

I think I used the word "defend", not "attack". Sorry Mike.
Romney’s hair looks pretty close to normal in that picture. Maybe by 2012 he can figure out how to make it look completely normal. It’s always made me cringe to look at him, because his perfect Ken-doll hair always reminds me of Silky-Pony Edwards.
Yea, it probably would have been better if he’d have gotten in a fistfight with him. (sarc) That would have made me trust him lots more as the next POTUS with his finger on THE button.
Yeah, I know, before you’all flame me. Sarah will be the next POTUS
In that particular situation, he was in the right.
Considering how the enemedia would cover the story:
“Republican causes in-flight terrorist act!”
Scuttlebutt is that this was staged by Romney for Romney.
Doesn’t Romney have a book about to be released? Publicity stunt.
We need a roll call to see who might be in jail.
“B. I’m surprised he does not have his own plane.”
The Romney’s fly commercial? They are multi millionaires and they are flying commercial? This is a stunt. To show his calm restraint in the face of danger. His ability to defer to systems and rules. To appear vulnerable and not so perfect. Publicity before his book tour. He needs something to talk about on the talk show circuit.
Nobody’s supposed to go smacking other passengers on a plane. But first you’ve got Romney playing hall monitor telling another passenger to put his seat upright for takeoff, then my guess would be you’d have to have an angry escalation of words back and forth before the chastised passenger could/would get physical.

Yeah, we can tell by all the anonymous name calling they do here...

Yeah, Romney interupted commercial air traffic (a federal offense) for a headline. And, he convinced or paid some poor dope to get himself arrested in the bargain.
Your ability to see things clearly really impresses me.

Scuttlebutt? Where did you hear this nonsense, on this thread? What's your source?
It is monumentally moronic to actually believe that Romney would commit a federal felony to get a bit of PR. It is equally moronic to believe that he was able to hire somebody to get himself arrested for a federal felony to make the stunt work.
BTTT..............
And the scuttlebutt is silly you!
Good. I guess the system worked.
[Sarah will be the next POTUS]
...not if she continues to support McCan’t. What does she owe HIM anyway, SHE’S the one who invigorated his weak campaign and then McCan’t’s people pointed their fingers at her for losing.
Romney doesn’t own his own Gulfstream? I’m disappointed.
