Romney’s Bus Tour Hits Speed Bump, Reroutes Due to Protesters

[cal04]

The Romney bus tour hit a speed bump today when more than a hundred protesters showed up at a gas station where the presumptive GOP presidential candidate was scheduled to make a stop, and the candidate’s motorcade quickly rerouted to another location just three miles away.

(snip)
According to local reports, Rendell, along with 150 to 200 anti-Romney protesters, had shown up at the original gas station to tout Obama’s message, speaking ahead of when Romney was scheduled to arrive.

But a Romney campaign official said they were prepared for the disruption and that the re-routing was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

1. People need to stash those signs in their shirts, behind their backs,

until the bus STOPS...then surround the bus and do some chanting--and make sure there are people with cameras!

3. Low life

It was a good turn out. We had an airplane with a banner and a car driving around with a fake dog strapped to the roof. Three news vans.

R/money punked out and did not show. No announcement, no apology, nothing but a punk no show.

How can we trust him with national security when he is afraid of the voters?

Wonder what his angle was?

I heard him speak not long ago and he gets pretty fired up.

6. If he can't talk to protesters, how is he going to be able to speak to dictators?

7. God, R(money) is a fucking coward.

And a bully, brat, selfish dick, and ignorant.

8. Mittens is coming to Wisconsin on Thursday

Appearing with the Governor and Paul Ryan. Should be a nice crowd to meet the fascist regime.
