Romney Iowa event interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters

CLIVE, Iowa – Occupy Wall Street protestors interrupted Mitt Romney’s speech in a suburban Des Moines warehouse Monday night, breaking in with their rallying cry of “mic check” and yelling up at the candidate.

Romney paused, seemingly thrown off-balance, and the crowd began chanting “Mitt, Mitt,” loudly to drown out the protestors.

The protests quieted down for a moment. Romney thanked his supporters and then tried to return to his speech. “Let’s talk about the Constitution again,” he began.

...paid communist agitators...

Might one suspect Mister Bill Ayers' fine hand in organizing this little "protest" by the "Occupy" Red Guards?

OWS is an arm of the Dem Party and the WH.

Romney should've said, "Hey, yo, I'm just as rich as Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Susan Sarandon and other homeys like them, dawg. Peace out."

That works every time.

Knowing what a lying, scheming, back-stabbing RINO fraud Romney is, I’d believe he paid these low-lifes to protest to try and gain some sympathy and support from the Tea-Party crowd.

I could care less if the Commie Occupy crap crowd was there, so what?

Still not going to vote for Romney, ever!

The Occupy Rose Parade ‘float’ which followed the real parade marched with a bunch carrying the expected signs and included a couple marchers wearing costume heads: one Mitt and one Newt. I didn’t see any other ‘candidates’ on the video clip I watched online.

Attacking Romney is EXACTLY what it was designed for. The 12 dead Occutard useful idiots are just faceless victims in all of this.

Daaaaamn, Sarandon may be a psycho lib but looking at that pic I suddenly got this urge to pick up scissors and cut a strap. Daaamn, how the hell is that thing staying on? Seriously, look at that dress, she even twitches they’ll pop out. On the other hand, any chick that names her first male born child after a killer probably ain’t one you’d want to mess with. “Honey what are you doing with that knife by my groin?” Someone told me she even named her daughter Eva after Eva Braun. Jack Henry after Jack Henry Abbott and Eva after Eva Braun. Real nice. And they let this nut out in public? I remember years ago reading about her sitting in court everyday like a groupie when Abbott was on trial for murder and I remember thinking WTF? Didn’t they lock up all the Manson girls? The guy stabbed to death a kid for telling him a restuarant bathroom was closed and this impressed her?

IMO the crowd at these events should stop shouting Mitt Mitt or whoever is up at the podium and start kicking ass.

It’s time these people were tossed out bodily. Thyare too stupid to understand anything else.

This feels like Mc-lame deja vu all over again.......

Wall street wants Romney and the Dims are salivating that he will be the nominee.

OPINION
JANUARY 3, 2012

Mr. Good Enough

Mitt Romney lost the nomination in 2008 because of his lack of focus and a reputation for shifting his message. He’s learned something this time around.

By KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL

Clinton, Iowa

Voters aren’t convinced by Mitt Romney. They’re not certain of his convictions; they wonder if he is the leader for these times; they’re not sold on his policies or his personality. Yet voters may be about to make the former Massachusetts governor the Republican nominee for the presidency. Mark this down as the triumph of strategy over inspiration.

As Iowans head to their caucuses Tuesday, Mr. Romney has come from behind to lead in the polls. A victory here—where he was once written off—followed by a coup in New Hampshire could well knit up the nomination. That outcome would be the result of a lot of luck, mistakes by his rivals, and a shrewd—and ruthless—campaign by Mr. Romney himself.

OWS wlll be very active during the NH primary. C-SPAN televised one of their planning meetings in NH. The participants were discussing where, when, and how their demonstrations would be conducted. This manufactured, astroturfed “movement” is directed at the GOP. The SEIU and ACORN are big players in OWS.

I detest these lowlife punks. They are the main reason I volunteered to help with my local caucus this year.
We WILL be ready for them; and any other group that tries something.

Our system will work; and voters will have their say. We will not be taken into a third world anarchy situation at our polls.
