Romney staff refusing to let frostbitten children leave PA rally

Thaks for the 1-star moran. Could at least have clicked the link...

just to let you know nazi boy. In the US of A if someone does not let you leave you knock them the FUCK out. and then leave.

+n

It's not so much his staff, it's a Secret Service rule. Everyone has to show up to be cleared hours before and they can't leave until well after the VIP leaves. Always been that for all of them.

Good!

It'll toughen them up for the long struggle to rebuild America after Obama gets thrown out!

The sad part is Romney is the VIP...

Maybe 50 years ago, nowadays they just wait like the little sheep they are.

a NYT reporter tweeting. yeah I believe that bullshit.
not.

the kids are lucky that team Romney does not start raping them

Security concerns. There was secret service there not letting people out, not just Romney staff. Was for protection.

True, but as a mom, why weren't these kids dressed properly? Seriously, it's Pennsylvania, for crying out loud! They know better.

There is an enormous difference between being 'cold', feeling chilled and "frostbitten" or hypothernamic.

Saaaayy Whaaaaat???

Meybe they didn't expect to be caged for hours. Even if dressed properly, kids cool out quickly, you should kow as a mom.

Well, let's see

41 degrees, feels like 35

with a 9 mph wind, gusting to 17

Yeah, I'd want my 6 year old standing out in that for sure.

Apparently this was posted already 15 hours ago without any large response: Thread: Romney Supporters Illegally IMPRISONED at Pennsylvania Campaign Rally!

In this world of instant political media shorthand, the story was changed to Romney campaign won’t let his supporters out. In reality, it was the Romney campaign, volunteers, and the Secret Service not letting people out.

No, they knew how long it would take. They are always told BEFORE they get there and again BEFORE they go in. People just don't use commen sense anymore. There's a bigger chance of kids wetting their pants, than frostbite at these things. I know, we took our kids to one...ONCE!

That is the truth.

But the Secret Service did end up letting them leave. I guess they realize that under obama the Sec. Svs. has enough scandals already.

Be sure to click the link, wonderful rant there.

Bullshut, Romney came much too late and people were not allowed to leave.

It is difficult to believe that a photo-op obsessed campaign like Romney’s would just have security in mind. The people who came to this rally already went through security when they entered, so the whole idea that letting out some cold children would present a security threat is laughable. (The Romney campaign has already demonstrated their fear of children with their refusal to take questions from Nickelodeon, so anything is possible, I guess.) As a person who spent years working with venues and security details, I can tell you that those children and people could have been allowed to leave the venue while posing zero security risk to anyone.

My own experience tells me that this was less about security, and more about Romney preserving the image of viability and vitality that he is desperately chasing around the country.

I read this earlier. I knew that it would be *no big deal* here on GLP because it happened at a Romney event. But if this had happened at an Obama event, they would be screaming about how terrible it was. Then they would add that Obama was probably trying to keep them there so he could put them in FEMA camps. The double standard is evident here.

tweets?

Well, i don't care if Obama or Romney, both suck and are just different faces of the same bullshit medal.

Here is how you fix the problem if you child is in real harm.
a+a=win
a. SCREAM CAUSE A HUGE ASS SEEN.
a. AN OFFICIAL WILL HALL YOU AND YOUR CHILD SOMEWHERE ELSE
WIN. CHILD IS NO LONGER IN SAID DANGER.

Maybe it is the feces in the panties of the poor grandmas not allowed to leave?

Yes, tweets by respected journalists.

Well, all I can tell you is, I wish YOU would run these things. It's a royal pain in the ass. I'm surprised as many people attend them as they do. They have ALWAYS been this way. EVERYONE knows that. Sorry, your argument fails.
