Looks like it's not just Americans who are laughing at the ineptness of Mitt Romney and his GOP-e enablers.

Just the lighting probably cost more than many of us make in a year.

Hopefully this ends the campaign. Optics are a powerful thing.

I'll bet you $10,000 he enjoyed firing them. LOL

Romney’s campaign staff needs to be fired for that alone. Who would stage a campaign appearance in an empty stadium? At least Santorum’s people have the sense to rent a small section of the ballroom at a Ramada Inn. You know, those rooms that you can make even smaller by dragging those wall partitions across the middle of it. The resulting space is no bigger than my basement but at least cramming a couple hundred people into it makes it seem like Santorum has a highly energetic crowd - especially after an hour or so of open bar beforehand at that little place tucked between the indoor pool and the exercise room just off the lobby.

when this broke the romnbots were raking the messengers over the coals

buying american autos is patriotic, attacking mitt only because hes lds etc

but it gave a pretty good pic of a candidate not just with a silver spoon in his mouth but living in a silver bubble his whole life

(and you can always tell the magic underwear brigade because they cry victim from the beginning)

id love to see a reporter pull that trick they did years ago w bush sr. ithink it was? (not sure) where they asked him how much a loaf of bread cost, how much a doz eggs or a gal of milk cost, and he didnt have a clue

mitts never stood in checkout he hires illegal immigrants for that

Where was that town hall ears had a while back (Pittsburgh I think it was) where the place was empty except for a few rows of chairs yet the media pictures made it look like the place was full??

I’ll see if I can find them but my web searching skills leave something to be desired.

Let’s get real people, there is a ton of things to bash Romney about, but this is a closed invitation only speech. Not a public rally, not a townhall meeting.

Molehill meet Mountain.

[...but this is a closed invitation only speech]

Then they should have held it in a mobile home.

So he didn’t have 50,000 people to invite and yet, he still held it at the stadium? Smart. Very smart!

It all depends.

Mitt’s $10,000 bet comment during the debate brought him a well deserved beating. Saying his wife drives American cars doesn’t deserve a lot of attention. (He’d be a fool to say otherwise in Michigan) Saying he liked firing people was a dumb way of saying something correct but it was still dumb to use those words.

The stadium stunt was a really dumb move and he deserves the beating he gets over it. Not to mention giving the perfect trees speech again.

Romney took to the podium on the 30 yard line of the empty Ford Field stadium...

Nah, he doesn't think too highly of himself.

and thats the way you’d like it to play, huh?

so...are you thinking of censoring the images, dictating what peoples reactions to the images, should be, or both?

this the real world not the mormon world where lds romnbots can bring obedience by fatwa

(i know youre not mormon nobody is)

We knew Romney ( General Cornwallis ) was a empty suit, but, now we see for ourselves that his supporters are empty too.

Pictures speak louder than words, Romney's rhetoric is just as empty and fake.
Looks like God is hearing our prayers.
